Abstract

This study aimed to examine the political communication styles of female leaders in local governance by applying the concepts of personal figuration and inclusive communication based on mutual relations. Using a systematic literature review (SLR), the research analyzed 15 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025 that addressed themes of female leadership, political communication, and digital representation. The thematic analysis focused on three core issues: how leaders' lived experiences shaped their communication styles; which elements of inclusive, mutual communication were employed to build socio-political relations; and how digital strategies contributed to political legitimacy. The findings revealed that narratives of personal experience and community values strongly influenced the communication styles of local female leaders. They adopted empathetic and dialogical approaches to strengthen relationships with constituents and strategically used digital media as a space for affective, personalized political representation. The study concluded that women's political communication styles represented symbolic constructions rooted in social, gendered, and cultural contexts. These insights contributed to the development of gender-sensitive political communication theory and highlighted practical implications for female leadership strategies in the digital era.

Abstract

This study explored the practice of village governance (TKPD), particularly the practice of making village development policies during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022) in Malang Regency, East Java. The policy-making was carried out in the village deliberation forum (musdes). This research specifically sought to discover the practice of musdes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It applied a qualitative methodology and an observational analysis method, with the interview as the main data-gathering technique. This study reveals changes in the practice and meaning of musdes in setting village development policies. The pandemic situation has forced the government to drive village development policy options that are not fully in accordance with the needs and demands of villagers. Musdes has changed its meaning. It is no longer a space for consultation and negotiation. Musdes become a non-deliberative forum that functions for clarification and approval of village development policies that have been directed by government and regency regulations.  This finding reinforces previous studies that the village law and implementing regulations experience critical differences from musdes as a deliberation space because it reduces representation of the community and actors who can be involved in decision-making. The exploration of the practice and meaning of musdes during the COVID-19 pandemic adds to the village governance literature, which was different from the situation prior to the pandemic. At that time, the village government still had enough space to accommodate the villagers' demands. This study echoes the state-centered approach to explaining village governance by discovering the government as an obstacle to village governance. This study also contributes to extending village governance literature by proposing the worth of considering an antecedent factor that encourages the government and regency to issue regulations that do not support village governance. The context of the pandemic can explain factors that occurred prior to the issuance of government regulation, which then hindered village governance.
