The Brondot Strategy: Achieving Victory Without Vote Buying in Indonesia’s Local Democracy

2024-03-23T13:35:39+00:00

This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach on village head elections in two villages in Central Java to explore the role of the brondot strategy in democratization. This strategy utilizes rewards, primordial issues, and political clientelism to establish political hegemony, aiding incumbents in winning contests and avoiding significant competition, with hopes of victory without buying votes. Brondot is closely linked to familial political networks, leveraging biological relationships for network tactic control. Family's role in political elections and generational inheritance influences this strategy. The study provides insights into local political position elections without significant expenses, relevant in Indonesia where buying votes is a common practice.

Kemenangan Ideologis dan Kekalahan Politik Wacana Politik Etnis Minang dalam Pemilihan Presiden 2014 dan 2019

2023-12-28T14:58:32+00:00

This article examines the political discourse of the Minang ethnic group in the Presidential Elections (Pilpres) of 2014 and 2019. In both elections, the Minang candidates did not win nationally but achieved a landslide victory in the West Sumatra province. This has created a stigma for the Minang ethnic group as one with a strong political identity and a province with a hardline stance. This study aims to understand the political discourse of the Minang ethnic group in choosing national leaders. The study employs Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach, which identifies four interconnected dimensions: linguistic, discursive, social, and ideological. This research is a qualitative study using critical analysis methods. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with Minang figures (traditional leaders, religious figures, politicians, academics, and cultural figures). The findings indicate that the political communication of the Minang ethnic group did not undergo a shift in perspective when it comes to viewing leadership issues. For the Minang ethnic group, a leader is highly regarded and given priority. Leaders must possess the qualities of "takah" (personal capacity and capability) and "tageh" (strength and firmness in attitude and action). Additionally, they must be recognized and accepted by the public as prominent figures. The most important factors for the Minang ethnic group in choosing a leader are shared religious beliefs, an egalitarian attitude, and adherence to customary values. The Minang ethnic group is willing to accept political defeat to maintain their belief-based selection of leaders.

Deklarasi Anies - Muhaimin dan Konflik Ideologi NU Versus PKS di Pentas Politik Nasional

2024-01-17T13:22:36+00:00

The conflict between NU and PKS is an ideological battle rooted in political competition, notably surrounding the 2024 presidential election. Escalating tensions involve Nasdem's support for Anies Baswedan and PKS's selection of Muhaimin Iskandar as vice-presidential candidate. NU figures derisively depict the Anies-Muhaimin pair, backed by PKS, as Wahhabi groups associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Utilizing power cube theory and Gramsci's hegemony, this research analyzes the conflict, revealing internal disputes within PKB across various power layers. The conflict extends nationally and internationally, involving key figures and transnational issues. However, attacks on the Anies-Muhaimin coalition rely on outdated narratives. NU's actions, stemming from Gus Dur's legacy, are influenced by political factors and personal interests. Hidden conflicts between NU and Muhammadiyah are also pivotal. The author suggests NU cadre unity, resolving longstanding conflicts, and Islamic party unity to confront perceived nepotism, secularism, and oligarchic favoritism in the regime.

Increasing Political Participation and Capacity of Indigenous Papuans: Encouraging Adaptive Collaborative Governance

2024-01-17T13:18:11+00:00

This paper delves into the potential of collaborative governance in addressing conflict resolution in Papua, focusing on the marginalized Indigenous Papuans (OAP) affected by shifting management policies. The conflict stems from historical injustices and capacity disparities between OAP and non-OAP. It aims to introduce collaborative governance, emphasizing reconciliation and adaptive approaches, particularly capacity building, and identifies potential implementation hurdles. Using normative research methodology with secondary data, the hypothesis proposes enhancing OAP capacity and participation to facilitate collaborative processes. Despite LPDP scholarships' ineffectiveness, a structured roadmap is essential for fostering collaborative governance. Furthermore, engaging the private sector is crucial, leveraging its information-seeking capabilities to enhance program efficacy. Collaboration with the private sector should align with OAP interests, aiding capacity building through education and training initiatives
