Abstract

Identity politics in Indonesia is more closely related to issues of race, religion, ideology and local interests than other issues. This research aims to determine the impact of identity politics in every regional election (pilkada) in Indonesia. There are various ways in winning regional election (pilkada) strategies used by each candidate, one of which is the use of identity politics. Identity politics is a sign of the flaws in the nation’s democracy that has been built since the reform was initiated. There are still many political elites who still preserve their political identity, hampering democratic development. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with arguments built from facts and supported by secondary sources. The results of this research found that in the regional elections (pilkada) in several regions, it was proven that political identities were still visible, such as politicizing religion and certain ethnic symbols, which were involved in the victory of one of the candidates. Apart from that, this research also explains the history of democracy that has occurred in regional elections (pilkada), showing the political identities that still exist in them. This study concludes that one of the impacts of identity politics is the erosion of national unity which results in the Indonesian nation’s national resilience faltering.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the threat of food security is due to the conversion of agricultural land in Bojonegoro Regency, which is used as an oil and gas industry. As we know, the slogan of Bojonegoro Regency is the Food and Energy Barn. However, this slogan also raises the question of whether the two aspects of food and energy can be balanced or if they will only harm one another. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method supported by data to strengthen the author's argument. The results of this study state that the slogan of the Bojonegoro Regency with Food and Energy Barns is a questionable thing in reality. Districts with abundant natural wealth of oil and gas pose a threat to food security due to the many shifts in the function of agricultural land. The impact of the conversion of agricultural land in several villages also causes various economic and environmental impacts. The Bojonegoro Regency Government needs to review and think about strategies to manage and make the Bojonegoro Regency slogans real and have an impact on the surrounding community. Researchers provide policy recommendations with balanced management between the oil and gas and food sectors for the sake of realizing it as a District of Food and Energy Barns.
