Abstract

The role of social media, which at first was merely a platform for self-existence and personal expression, has now evolved significantly into a powerful instrument capable of influencing the political dynamics and democratic climate of a country. In the current digital era, the use of social media is no longer limited to social interaction but has transformed into a strategic tool that can shape public opinion, mobilize political support, and facilitate civic engagement. This research seeks to describe how democracy adapts and thrives within this digital environment by highlighting the contribution of social media as an enabler of the democratic process. The study employs a qualitative approach using the literature review method to explore relevant theories and empirical findings concerning the intersection between social media and democracy. The findings reveal that social media platforms provide a vast space for communication, interaction, and dissemination of information among users, making it easier for individuals, groups, or political actors to build networks, share political views, and rally support across geographical and social boundaries. Social media has emerged as an alternative and complementary channel for political participation, which strengthens democratic practices and holds the potential to enhance the overall quality of democracy by making political processes more inclusive, transparent, and responsive. Furthermore, the interactive and open nature of social media empowers citizens to monitor, control, and criticize the performance of the government and public officials in real time.

Abstract

The democratic system adopted by Indonesia gives a central role to political parties as the main instrument in realizing a democratic state life. This research aims to reveal the political forces that often occur in the legislative process of making regulations in Indonesia. Using a qualitative-descriptive interpretive method and a phenomenological approach, this research explores the political forces involved in legislative making by the executive and legislature. The results show that in regulation-making, there is a power gap between the executive and the legislature. The political power of the executive tends to be dominant because they are the highest power holder. It cannot be denied that there are interests of actors in it who seek to maintain and expand their power. The formation of legal products involves the influence of political power through political processes in state institutions that have authority and power. In addition, this research reveals the political dynamics that occur in the legislative process, where the interaction between the executive and the legislature is a crucial factor. This political process includes negotiations, compromises, and competing interests between the various parties involved. Thus, regulation-making is not only the result of technical considerations and community needs, but also influenced by the dynamics of political power at the local level.
