Abstract

This research examines Balee Inong’s objectives as a women’s struggle community in Banda Aceh City towards increasing the role of women in the public sector. Although Balee Inong has empowered women in Banda Aceh City, one community, to fight for women’s rights, Balee Inong has not shown significant results in involving most women actively engaged in public spaces and decision-making subjects. This study uses a qualitative case study approach to analyze the roles and challenges of Balee Inong, which focuses on empowerment and work programs in Balee Inong. The study findings indicate that Balee Inong’s role has not yet been maximized due to several factors related to women’s political identity awareness, social construction, and patriarchal culture. These obstacles hinder women’s more significant role in the public sphere. This study concludes that although Balee Inong in Banda Aceh City provides opportunities for increasing women’s participation, it has not had a substantial impact on reaching all women in Banda Aceh City. The limitation of this study is that it has not fully reached women in Banda Aceh City who represent Balee Inong because of different perspectives and not yet significantly represented. This study highlights the need for more realistic efforts through comprehensive empowerment to distribute the understanding and goals of Balee Inong in the public domain.

Abstract

Demokratisasi yang menjunjung tinggi kebebasan menjadi landasan bagi setiap individu dalam mengaktualisasikan dirinya, termasuk dalam persoalan politik. Kebebasan individu yang dijamin oleh konstitusi di Indonesia mencerminkan tingginya popularitas sistem demokrasi ini. Akan tetapi, kebebasan tersebut pada akhirnya semakin memperjelas jurang pemisah antar identitas (agama, suku, bahasa, jenis kelamin, dll) yang ada di Indonesia, terutama berkaitan dengan persoalan politik bangsa. Persoalan agama dan nasionalis bangsa merupakan dua identitas yang saat ini menjadi perdebatan di Indonesia. Polemik politik identitas semakin meruncing hingga munculnya klaim kebenaran bahwa kelompok kepentingan yang satu lebih baik daripada kelompok kepentingan lainnya, urusan kepentingan ini kemudian mulai memecah belah bangsa yang sebelumnya menjunjung tinggi perbedaan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui realita politik identitas di Indonesia saat ini, berfokus kepada dua kelompok identitas yaitu kelompok agama dan kelompok nasionalis. Metode kualitatif dan kajian literatur digunakan untuk mengkaji persoalan ini. Kajian ini menemukan bahwa perpecahan yang muncul karena pengelompokan politik berdasarkan identitas keagamaan dan nasionalisme ini menyebabkan terganggunya stabilitas negara yang ditandai dengan munculnya krisis kepercayaan terhadap pemerintah, penyebaran berita hoax, persekusi, makar, terbatasnya ruang demokrasi, dll. Kata kunci: politik identitas, nasionalis, agama, Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines the authority of Imum Mukim in the sustainable governance of customary forests in Peudada Subdistrict, Bireuen Regency, Aceh, from a Green Politics perspective. Although Mukim institutions are formally recognized within Aceh’s legal framework, their practical authority in forest governance remains weak and marginal. This research aims to analyze the causes of this institutional paradox and to explain why Mukim functions merely as a normative actor rather than an effective governing authority. Using qualitative library-based research supported by document analysis of legal instruments, policy documents, and relevant academic literature, this study applies Green Politics and Political Ecology frameworks to interpret the gap between formal recognition and practical authority. The findings reveal a persistent institutional dualism in Mukim governance: while Mukim holds strong normative and cultural legitimacy, it lacks regulative and enforcement power due to regulatory fragmentation, state-centric forest governance, and power asymmetries with corporate and bureaucratic actors. As a result, Mukim operates as a “phantom institution” recognized symbolically but excluded substantively from decision-making processes. This study concludes that strengthening customary forest governance requires not only legal recognition but also institutional integration, regulatory coherence, and redistribution of authority toward indigenous governance structures. These findings contribute to Green Politics debates on ecological justice and local sustainability.

Abstract

Kajian analisis dari penelitian ini membahas mengenai integrsasi perspektif gender dalam paradigma pembangunan partisipatif pada skala gampong sebagai strategi penting untuk mencapai pembangunan yang merangkul semua pihak. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif, dalam penelitian ini menemukan bahwasanya partisipasi perempuan dan kelompok rentan dalam berbagai kegiatan seperti musyawarah, perencanaan, dan pelaksanaan pembangunan masih terhalang oleh sejumlah rintangan struktural dan juga kultural. Penelitian ini menegaskan perlunya kesetaraan gender dan kebijakan yang peka agar semua kelompok, termasuk yang terpinggirkan dapat mendapatkan kesempatan dan sumber daya yang adil serta merata. Penerapan dari konsep pembangunan pertisipatif yang mengarusutamakan gender diperkirakan dapat memperkuat keberlangsungan dari pembangunan dan bentuk gampong yang setara serta inklusif untuk seluruh masyarakat.

Abstract

This study begins with voter behavior in the village head election in Gunong Kleng Village, highlighting the dynamics of democracy at the village or local level and its determining factors, such as money politics and kinship. Academic concerns have arisen due to the practice of money politics and kinship, which violate the principles of honest and fair democracy and have the potential to erode the integrity and quality of village leadership. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, documentation, and validity tested by triangulation of methods and sources. The research findings show that voter behavior is still strongly influenced by these two factors, resulting in the democratic process at the village level being less than ideal and more dominated by the interests of certain groups or individuals. This indicates the need for political education and stricter and more transparent supervision to create honest and rational voters.
