Abstract

Elections in Madura reveal a paradox between deeply rooted traditions of peace and recurring practices of electoral violence. While the community is often characterized by strong social solidarity, religiosity, and cultural cohesion, episodes of violence frequently accompany political contests, especially during elections. This study explores three primary factors driving electoral violence in Madura: First, the patron-client culture that enables political mobilization through influential religious and local figures (kiai and blater), Second, the transformation of traditional familial solidarity (taretan) into partisan fanaticism, resulting in social conflicts, and third, the political economy of poverty, which fosters transactional politics and vote-buying. Using a qualitative approach and secondary data sources, this article argues that such violence stems from political rivalry and entrenched social structures, economic inequalities, and weak local law enforcement. The study highlights the need to strengthen electoral institutions, improve political literacy, and engage local leaders constructively to restore a culture of peaceful and participatory democracy in Madura.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of democracy learning in Indonesia by emphasizing the importance of citizen involvement in democratic processes, particularly through public demonstrations. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews, observations, and a comprehensive literature review as data collection methods. The data were derived from reports on public protests in both print and online media, as well as expert interviews relevant to the issue. The findings indicate a notable shift in the patterns of youth participation in political engagement. In addition to conventional forms of protest, such as physical demonstrations, contemporary participation has increasingly expanded into digital spaces, where efforts to amplify issues through social media virality play a crucial role in mobilizing public support. Furthermore, the study identifies a transformation in the language and style of protest among Indonesian youth compared to those observed during the Reform Era. These demonstrations reflect a rational expression of citizens’ concerns toward national issues, representing an important dimension of civic competence in a democratic society.

Abstract

This study examines public perceptions of the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program in the Special Region of Yogyakarta in the context of the 2029 General Election. Using a quantitative survey of 200 student respondents selected through purposive sampling, the study measures three dimensions, namely perceived benefits, targeting accuracy, and political relevance. The findings reveal substantial public scepticism toward the program. A majority of respondents question its effectiveness, 67.5% express doubt about its benefits, and 70% perceive the program as inaccurately targeted. In addition, 65% of respondents associate the program with political interests, particularly in image-building and electoral mobilisation. These results indicate that their functional performance does not solely shape perceptions of welfare policies, but is also shaped by the broader political context in which they are implemented. The study argues that implementation shortcomings, especially in targeting and distribution, contribute to the politicisation of welfare programs. By shifting the analytical focus from voting behaviour to perception as a socio-political construct, this study contributes to the development of political perception theory within welfare politics. It demonstrates that, in a developing democracy, welfare policies are interpreted as political signals rather than purely social interventions.
