Abstract

This research discusses the phenomenon of cyberpolitics as a digital democratic space with a focus on political campaigns through Instagram in the 2024 Makassar Pilwalkot. Social media, especially Instagram, is used intensely by candidate pairs to build a political image and convey work programs visually to the public. On the other hand, millennials, as the dominant social media users, utilise the platform to access political information, interact directly with candidates, and determine voting preferences. Through a literature study approach and content analysis, this research shows that digital space has great potential in expanding horizontal political participation. However, the effectiveness of cyberspace as a democratic arena cannot be separated from challenges such as symbolic participation, algorithm dominance, and digital literacy gaps. Instagram has been proven to facilitate the political participation of the younger generation. However, it has not been able to fully bridge the inequality of political representation due to digital exclusion. By applying the theories of agenda setting, political efficacy, and networked public sphere, this study concludes that the quality of political communication, information disclosure, and the critical capacity of digital citizens largely determine the success of digital democracy in cyberspace.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Aceh Qanun Number 8 of 2018 concerning the facilitation of narcotics abuse prevention in North Aceh, with a specific focus on collaborative governance among the local government, BNNK Lhokseumawe, and the North Aceh Police. North Aceh has experienced increasing narcotics-related threats, yet institutional collaboration in addressing this issue remains underdeveloped. The aim of this study is to analyze the dynamics and constraints of inter-agency collaboration in the implementation of local anti-narcotics policy. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation analysis involving local stakeholders including public officials, law enforcement, and community representatives. The findings reveal that collaborative efforts are still limited and fragmented due to several factors: weak coordination mechanisms, lack of shared commitment, limited human and financial resources, and misaligned institutional priorities. Moreover, community involvement in prevention programs is minimal, despite its importance as outlined in the policy. These limitations hinder the full realization of Qanun Aceh Number 8 Year 2018. The study emphasizes the need to establish formal and binding coordination structures such as Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), enhance institutional capacity, and promote inclusive community-based approaches. Strengthening inter-agency synergy and public participation is essential for effective policy outcomes. This study contributes to the broader discourse on collaborative governance in drug prevention and offers insights for designing more integrative and context-specific public policies at the local level.

Abstract

Corruption in social assistance programs in Indonesia represents a critical failure of public policy with far-reaching impacts on societal welfare. This study aims to analyse the relationship between social assistance policies, corrupt practices, and politicization by political actors, while also assessing their implications for governance. Employing a qualitative narrative approach and literature review combined with public policy analysis, the research seeks to understand how social assistance programs function both as instruments of welfare and as political tools. The findings reveal that weak leadership commitment and low institutional integrity have frequently led to the misuse of social assistance as a political instrument ahead of elections, while simultaneously opening space for systematic corruption. A comparative study with China and Rwanda demonstrates that the success of anti-corruption efforts is largely determined by the political will of leaders and the strengthening of governance systems. Therefore, reforming Indonesia’s social assistance policies should be directed toward three key aspects: strengthening anti-corruption regulations, digitizing transparent distribution systems, and ensuring political leadership commitment to uphold integrity. This article underscores that social assistance policies are not merely about welfare distribution, but are also deeply tied to the sustainability of democracy and the legitimacy of governance.

Abstract

This study discusses the dynamics of nightlife tax policy in Makassar City, particularly in the Nusantara Street area, which is known as a center of nightlife activities and a location for covert prostitution. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines how Local Regulation No. 1 of 2024, which stipulates a 75% increase in nightlife tax, functions not only as a fiscal instrument to increase Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD), but also as a social regulatory instrument. The results of the study show that this policy has dual implications: on the one hand, it strengthens the political legitimacy of the city government in responding to the moral demands of the community, but on the other hand, it gives rise to unexpected consequences in the form of new negotiations between the government, nightlife entrepreneurs, and sex workers. High taxes actually encourage the capitalization of sex workers' bodies, widen the economic dependence of the surrounding community on the nightlife industry, and open up space for informal political compromise between entrepreneurs and officials. This study confirms that fiscal policy is never neutral, but is always linked to local social, political, and economic dynamics. The necessary follow-up is strengthening alternative policies based on a humanistic and inclusive approach, such as providing formal employment, economic empowerment programs for women, and more transparent and accountable supervision. Keywords: Nightlife tax, prostitution, fiscal policy, social regulation

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of political thuggery in the management of parking business in Pekanbaru City through a patron-client perspective. In the parking business, the patron-client relationship involves political actors, government officials, and thugs forming a network of mutual benefits. This practice has an impact on increasing social injustice and hampers transparent parking governance. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results of the study showed that patrons provided legal and political protection to clients who were in charge of managing and securing parking areas informally. This study recommends the digitization of the parking system, strengthening regulations, and the involvement of civil society to break the chain of thuggery. This reform is expected to create fairer and more sustainable parking governance.

Abstract

This study explores how exposure to political information through social media influences Indonesian students in India in the 2024 Presidential Election. This study uses a mixed methods approach, combining a quantitative survey of 41 students with in-depth interviews to gain a more comprehensive understanding. Data were collected through online questionnaires and focus group discussions, then analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and thematic analysis. The results show that Instagram and YouTube are the leading platforms for political information, with 56% of respondents stating that they trust the content they consume. This exposure does not necessarily change political preferences but contributes to increasing political awareness, strengthening digital literacy, and fostering critical thinking. The uniqueness of this study lies in its focus on diaspora students, who are relatively rarely touched upon in the literature on digital politics in Indonesia. Unlike domestic voters who are often influenced by viral issues, Indonesian students in India exhibit more reflective information consumption patterns, influenced by their transnational experiences. These findings confirm that social media functions as a cross-border digital democracy space, highlighting the importance of strengthening digital literacy to ensure more conscious, reflective, and quality political participation among the diasporas.
