Abstract

Coffee, as a global commodity, is not merely an agricultural product but also a site of political and economic contestation involving land use, resource control, and power relations. This study examines the intricate relationship between coffee-drinking culture and electoral processes. Employing a literature-based approach, data were gathered from journal articles, books, news reports, and other relevant publications. The study finds that coffee culture is not merely a component of lifestyle but also shapes deliberative spaces that influence political awareness and electoral behaviour. Coffee shops serve as informal arenas where political issues are openly discussed, fostering social networks that play a significant role in shaping public opinion. The most significant finding of this study is that coffee shops function as hybrid socio-political spaces where everyday social interaction, digital communication, and informal campaigning intersect, enabling political actors to engage voters through subtle and personalised approaches. The literature further indicates that the intensity of social interaction within these spaces can strengthen citizens’ engagement in democratic processes, heighten interest in policy issues, and, in some cases, directly influence political choices. Thus, this study underscores that coffee culture should not be viewed solely as an economic or lifestyle phenomenon but also as a critical medium in contemporary political dynamics.

Abstract

Abstract: Parit Baru Village, Sungai Raya District, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan Province, already has a Red and White Cooperative established based on Presidential Instruction of the Republic of Indonesia Number 9 of 2025. However, the institution faces several obstacles including weak governance and institutions within it. Therefore, this community service activity was carried out with the aim of supporting the improvement of insight, knowledge, and procedures for cooperative management in supporting the strengthening of the Red and White Cooperative institution with the principles of good cooperative governance. This activity was carried out in stages, namely with a systematic method: (1) conducting potential mapping, (2) providing counseling regarding the institution and governance of the Red and White Cooperative, and (3) formulating strategies for strengthening the institution and governance through SWOT analysis. The results of this activity are an increased understanding of the management and strengthening of the institution and its governance. In addition, the Collective Participation-Based Strengthening Model is also formulated in four main principles: (1) increasing member capacity through continuing education; (2) transparent, accountable, and participatory cooperative governance; (3) diversification of productive businesses based on local potential; and (4) the use of digital technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This model can be used as a basis for developing more systematic and sustainable community empowerment methods for the Merah Putih Cooperative, even on a national scale.Abstrak: Desa Parit Baru, Kecamatan Sungai Raya, Kabupaten Kubu Raya, Provinsi Kalimantan Barat, telah memiliki Koperasi Merah Putih yang didirikan berdasarkan Instruksi Presiden Republik Indonesia Nomor 9 Tahun 2025.
