Abstract

Coffee, as a global commodity, is an agricultural product and a site of political and economic contestation involving land use, resource control, and power relations. This study examines the complex relationship between coffee-drinking culture and electoral processes. Using a literature-based approach, data were gathered from journal articles, books, news reports, and other relevant publications. The study finds that coffee culture is a component of lifestyle and shapes deliberative spaces that influence political awareness and electoral behavior. Coffee shops function as informal arenas where political issues are openly discussed, fostering social networks that play a significant role in shaping public opinion. The most significant finding of this study is that coffee shops function as hybrid socio-political spaces where everyday social interaction, digital communication, and informal campaigning intersect, enabling political actors to engage voters through subtle and personalized approaches. The literature further indicates that the intensity of social interaction within these spaces can strengthen citizens’ engagement in democratic processes, increase interest in policy issues, and, in some cases, directly influence political choices. Thus, this study highlights that coffee culture should not be viewed solely as an economic or lifestyle phenomenon but also as a critical medium in contemporary political dynamics.
