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 decentralization of village governance is expected to create inclusive democratic spaces and promote gender equality at the grassroots level. However, these normative ideals frequently collide with the reality of local power dynamics. Based on a critical literature review, this article investigates how local elite capture and rent-seeking motives hijack gender mainstreaming policies in village governance. The study finds that in the planning phase (Musrenbangdes), women's participation is reduced to "false inclusion" a mere administrative checklist to fulfill requirements for the release of Village Funds, while their strategic proposals are systematically ignored. This exclusion smoothly paves the way for local elites to massively divert the village budget (APBDes) into capital-intensive physical infrastructure projects. This budget hijacking is driven by rent-seeking opportunities and financial kickbacks for elite networks, leaving women's empowerment and human development programs severely underfunded. Ultimately, this study concludes that without strict structural oversight and the active strengthening of women's independent political agency, gender equality in village governance will remain an empty document serving only to preserve local oligarchic power..
