        abstract = {This study examines politics and power in the Alabasta Arc of the One Piece anime
through the lens of Ibn Khaldun?s political philosophy, focusing on the concepts of asabiyyah
(social solidarity) and al-?umran (civilization). Anime, as a popular medium, not only serves
as entertainment but also reflects real-world social and political dynamics. The Alabasta Arc
illustrates how power can be manipulated through propaganda and political strategies by
Crocodile, who seeks to take control of the Alabasta kingdom by creating internal conflict and
undermining the people's trust in their ruler. This phenomenon is relevant to Ibn Khaldun?s
theory, which emphasizes the importance of social solidarity in maintaining the stability of a
civilization and preventing its downfall due to corrupt governance.
This study employs a qualitative approach using narrative analysis and hermeneutic
methods to interpret the representation of political philosophy concepts within the anime?s
storyline. Primary data is sourced from the narrative of One Piece, particularly the Alabasta
Arc, while secondary data is derived from academic literature discussing Ibn Khaldun?s
philosophy and studies on politics in popular media. The research focuses on analyzing
conflicts, propaganda, and the efforts of main characters to reconstruct social trust amidst
political chaos.
The findings reveal that asabiyyah is reflected in Vivi and her allies? struggle to restore
the people?s trust in Alabasta, while al-?umran is evident in the cycle of destruction and
recovery of civilization caused by political manipulation. This study asserts that anime can be
an effective medium for analyzing political philosophy concepts and provides new perspectives
in political and media studies. Thus, this research contributes to the understanding of how
narratives in popular culture can represent classical political theories in a way that remains
relevant to contemporary contexts.}
