Abstract

This study examines the political role of Muhammadiyah as a civil society organization (CSO) in advocating for reform of the legislative electoral system (DPR/DPRD) in post-New Order Indonesia (1999–2024). Using the theory of the function of civil society from Wolfgang Merkel (1999) and the theory of public policy advocacy from Start and Hovland (2004), this study explores the reasons why Muhammadiyah persistently encourages changes in the open proportional system (OLPR), the internal actors involved, and the strategies used. The method in this study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design that relies on primary data sources of interview results supported by related secondary data. The findings show that Muhammadiyah carries out the function of supervision of the state and articulation of social interests, criticizing the OLPR for triggering money politics, polarization, and lack of meritocracy. Muhammadiyah proposed a closed proportional system (CLPR) or Moderate List Proportional Representation (MLPR) through a scientific study by the Institute of Wisdom and Public Policy (LHKP). Advocacy strategies include collaborative advising, lobbying, and public promotion, although hampered by political party resistance and internal dynamics. This research contributes to the study of civil society and elections in transitional democracies, highlighting the importance of reforming the electoral system that is fair and democratic..

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the motives, goals, and mobilizing actors of the Gezi Park protests in Turkey in 2013 and the Aksi Bela Islam (ABI-Islamic defenders’ action) protests in Indonesia in 2016. The study finds that while both protests have strong Islamic historical roots, their underlying motives are significantly different. The Gezi Park protests were driven by government policies regarding the relocation of the park for commercial purposes, whereas the IDF protests were triggered by a statement made by the former Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, which was deemed blasphemous to Islam. Both movements share a common mobilizing factor, including the construction of easily understandable narratives for the masses. The ABI amplified public anger by emphasizing the importance of defending Islamic theological values that had been insulted, calling for collective prayer with prominent religious leaders as its key actors. On the other hand, the Gezi Park protests amplified public anger by voicing resistance against state brutality.

Abstract

This article explores the reasons why brokers shift from candidates with high winning prospects and substantial resources to candidates with lower winning prospects and fewer resources ahead of the 2024 elec­ti­ons. Building on Aspinall's study, the research aims to analyze the moti­va­tions behind the formation of Projo Ganjar by several Projo cadres who did not follow Jokowi's directive to support Prabowo Subianto, despite Prabowo having high winning prospects and substantial resources. A qualitative method was employed through in-depth inter­views with key informants and literature review. The findings indicate that broker de­fec­tions are driven by non-material factors such as incompatibility with the patron, changes in patron behavior, and alignment with other candi­dates. This study emphasizes that the relationship between bro­k­ers and candidates is not solely based on material benefits but is also influenced by non-material factors.
