Abstract

Studies on gender and state politics demonstrate that public policy is never gender-neutral but is shaped by power relations and social representations that normalize particular gender norms. In Indonesia, despite post-reform democratic consolidation and expanded political participation, gender inequality remains embedded in both the processes and substance of public policymaking. Existing scholarship has largely focused on formal political representation and affirmative policies, while the discursive and symbolic dimensions of policy formation have received limited attention. This article examines how gender is constructed and represented in Indonesian public policy through contemporary practices of social representation. Drawing on critical feminist policy analysis and an intersectional perspective, the study conceptualizes public policy as a site of meaning-making and power negotiation. The analysis reveals that public policies not only regulate resource distribution but also normalize specific gender roles and identities, often overlooking the diverse experiences of women across social locations. This article contributes to debates on gender and state politics by highlighting the importance of discourse and social representation in understanding and advancing gender-just and inclusive public policymaking in Indonesia

Abstract

The 2024 Temanggung Regency Regional Head Election (Pilkada) presented a compelling political phenomenon, wherein a former village head successfully triumphed over two incumbent candidates. This study aims to analyze the role and mechanisms of utilizing social capital in Agus Setyawan’s victory in the 2024 Temanggung Election. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing a social capital analytical framework encompassing three primary dimensions: trust, social networks, and norms of reciprocity. Data collection is assumed through literature reviews, media analysis, and the candidate's track record.The findings indicate that the candidate's victory was deeply rooted in the social capital accumulated during his 16-year tenure as the Village Head of Campurejo. First, the trust dimension was established through an empirical track record in transforming human resources within his village, including reducing early marriage rates and advancing education. Second, the expansion of social networks was executed effectively by capitalizing on farmer groups, cultural arts associations (kuda lumping), inter-village head solidarity, and supported by structural political networks. Third, norms of reciprocity were fostered through a populist and grassroots approach that positioned the candidate as an equal to the common citizenry, thereby generating solid voter loyalty.In conclusion, the conversion of communal social capital and grassroots support proved capable of dismantling the political hegemony of incumbents. The phenomenon of the 2024 Temanggung Election reaffirms that a proven track record and social proximity at the village level can serve as a superior political modality compared to mere elite popularity.
