Abstract

This study explains the question of what are the implications of appointing acting regional heads for the principles of democracy in Indonesia? To explain this problem, the study uses the theory of popular sovereignty as one of the main principles in democracy. This research uses the method used in writing this study is library research which contains ideas and concepts that are substantial with research problems. The results of the study show that the appointment of acting Regional Heads returns the centralization of power to the central government by ignoring the principle of popular sovereignty as the essence of democracy. Concretely, the appointment of acting Regional Heads raises three forms of setbacks in democracy, namely, the return to centralization of power in the hands of the central government, the erosion of people's participation, the justification for abolishing regional elections, and the decline of the essence of people's sovereignty. This appointment mechanism certainly provides political advantages for the government and its supporters for the benefit of 2024, both in elections and regional elections. This condition increasingly provides an opportunity for the central government to control the process of implementing the 2024 elections and local elections.

Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of regional head elections in Indonesia which took place during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study focuses on explaining the high level of voter turnout when Covid-19 hit Indonesia in 2020 which exceeded the turnout rate in normal situations and contrary to the trend of declining global voter turnout. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with secondary data obtained from official government institutions (especially the election commission and Ministry of Health), mass media both newspapers and other social media, as well as the results of research conducted by other researchers. The results showed that the high level of voter turnout during the Covid-19 pandemic was an anomaly of democracy in the midst of activity restrictions and the trend of declining global voter turnout. The high voter turnout during the Covid-19 pandemic was inversely proportional to the economic downturn and public confidence in government. This study found that the main factor for increasing voter turnout during the Covid-19 pandemic was the massive mobilization of social assistance funds from the government. Theoretically, this is a synthesis of the mobilization model and the general incentives model of participation in a pragmatic context.

Abstract

This paper describes the background of the resistance carried out by the people in three villages (Laiba, Laimpi and Wakumoro) as a form of unrest that they experienced as a result of the damage to the cross-provincial roads that had not been repaired for years by the Southeast Sulawesi provincial government. What is also interesting is that many resistance movements were pioneered by groups of mothers and resistance movements that were formed purely from the community groups themselves without depending on certain mass organizations. Using qualitative descriptive research methods. Data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and documentation studies. Interactive data analysis technique according to Milles Humerman and Saldana (2014). Community resistance against the government uses two methods of resistance, namely open reciprocity and closed resistance (James C. Scott, 2000). First, open resistance in the form of demonstrations, media hammering movements, and ina-ina resistance. Second, closed resistance is in the form of discussion of closed meetings, mass mobilization, strengthening the ideology of the movement and equalizing the vision of resistance. This research found that resistance that emerged organically then developed into a consistent resistance carried out by 3 villages (Laimpi, Laiba and Wakumoro Villages), so as to achieve the desired goals. Namely, the budgeted repair of the road.
