Abstract

The patron client bond between punggawa (boat owners) and sawi (crew members) in Bababulo’s coastal community, Majene Regency, demonstrates how contemporary electoral politics have reconfigured longstanding patterns of exchange and moral obligation. This research underscores a significant shift in the basis of punggawa power, which no longer depends solely on economic assets, but increasingly on the capacity to convert social and symbolic resources such as trust, indebtedness, prestige, and protective roles into political capital that can effectively mobilize votes. Employing a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation with eleven purposively selected participants, including punggawa, sawi, village authorities, and local political figures. Narrative analysis was applied to uncover processes of meaning-making, power negotiation, and mobilization embedded in everyday interactions. The findings show that the authority of a punggawa is continually reinforced through longstanding moral debts and social trust, which later become political commitments during election periods. Punggawa act as intermediaries who link the fishing community to broader political structures, while sawi are not completely passive; they take advantage of electoral moments to negotiate social and economic gains. The study concludes that traditional patronage persists, but in a transformed form becoming more calculated and transactional while still rooted in moral norms and mutual dependence that have adjusted to the dynamics of modern democratic practice.

Abstract

This study examines women’s leadership in a masculine organizational context to analyze how gender interacts with institutional structures, social norms, and power relations. It aims to explain how leadership legitimacy is constructed through performative practices and collaborative strategies. The research employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, document analysis, and interpretive analysis grounded in gender politics theory, performativity, and organizational resilience frameworks. The findings reveal that leadership legitimacy is not derived solely from formal authority but is produced through repeated performative acts, redistribution of authority, collaborative decision-making, and symbolic negotiation within patriarchal structures. Women leaders strategically combine assertiveness and relational competence to navigate role incongruity and double bind dynamics. Collaborative leadership practices shift power relations from hierarchical domination to relational interdependence, while collective voice mechanisms institutionalize deliberation as an organizational norm. The study also demonstrates that symbolic resources, social networks, and adaptive identity work strengthen organizational resilience and legitimacy in non-state institutions. This study contributes to gender politics scholarship by integrating performativity theory, social psychological leadership research, and organizational resilience into a contextualized analysis of women’s leadership. It highlights the importance of relational, adaptive, and transformative practices in reshaping power structures and suggests future comparative and multi-level research across diverse institutional settings.

Abstract

Waste management at the Binuang Landfill has earned Polewali Mandar Regency the Adipura Award. However, waste management at the Binuang Landfill has resulted in leachate seeping into community rice fields and air pollution. This environmental pollution impacts the socio-economic aspects of the community. This study aims to analyze the impact of waste management policies at the Binuang Landfill on the environment and surrounding community using the concept of Political Ecology. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that waste management policies at the Binuang Landfill do not yet reflect the principles of sustainable and equitable political ecology. This can be observed in the environmental position in policy negotiations between the government and the community. The conflict between the government and the community focuses solely on fulfilling their respective rights without considering environmental aspects. This condition makes waste management at the landfill suboptimal, resulting in impacts that sacrifice the rights and welfare of the community around the Binuang Landfill.
