Abstract

This study critically examines how dynastic politics and party persistence reproduce elite power in Indonesia’s 2024 elections. It highlights a central paradox: elections remain procedurally competitive, yet democracy’s substance is increasingly weakened by oligarchic consolidation. Using a qualitative approach, the research combines a systematic review of literature with critical discourse analysis. The findings show that dynastic politics has become entrenched in both executive and legislative institutions. Nearly 30 percent of parliamentary members are linked to political families, while the rise of Gibran Rakabuming Raka, son of President Joko Widodo, as vice president reflects the normalization of political dynasties in democratic settings. Party persistence is reinforced through cartelization, bureaucratic co-optation, and strategic alliances that cut across ideology. Together, these dynamics create a pattern of “elite circulation without renewal,” where leadership changes but power remains concentrated within oligarchic networks. The implications are profound: Indonesia risks becoming a pseudo-democracy in which electoral procedures continue but meaningful competition, representation, and accountability are hollowed out. This contributes to democratic backsliding and narrows the space for citizen participation. By integrating classical elite theory with contemporary Indonesian evidence, this study highlights how dynastic politics and party persistence function as dual mechanisms of elite power reproduction.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the Indonesian government’s economic policies during the COVID-19 pandemic and the post-pandemic period, with a focus on their effectiveness, adaptability, and implications for achieving a new policy equilibrium. The analysis is essential to understand how fiscal, monetary, social, and digital policy responses mitigated the crisis while simultaneously shaping a more sustainable policy configuration. The research employs a qualitative approach, combining policy analysis with a systematic literature review of reputable journals, international institutional reports, and macroeconomic data from 2020 to 2024. The study includes the interpretation of policy tables, a risk policy matrix, and the integration of public policy theories, particularly from the perspectives of policy design and policy feedback. The findings reveal that policies such as the National Economic Recovery Program (PEN), Cash Social Assistance (BST), the Job Creation Omnibus Law, and accelerated digitalization were effective in cushioning economic contraction, expanding social protection, and fostering digital transformation. However, challenges remain, including risks to monetary credibility due to burden sharing, inaccuracies in social protection targeting, and persistent digital divides in remote areas. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis that not only assesses short-term effectiveness but also highlights the transition toward a new policy equilibrium as a post-crisis policy configuration. The results demonstrate that Indonesia has established more flexible fiscal and monetary governance, expanded its social protection architecture, and normalized economic digitalization; however, structural reforms are required to ensure inclusiveness and long-term sustainability.
