Abstract

Populism emerges as an antithesis to government elitism amidst the crisis of democracy. Some experts also note that populism will also create a new elite for the government itself. Some countries show that populism is also the beginning of authoritarianism, such as Poland. This research shows that the same thing happened in Indonesia at the end of Joko Widodo's administration. Through the theoretical approach of Dynastic Politics and Populism, this paper explains that Jokowi built his dynasty through populism, brought Indonesia towards an authoritarian state, and brought democracy to a decline. Jokowi did so through constitutional means so that his dynasty could be democratically legitimized. Gibran was able to run for Vice President with Prabowo Subianto after his uncle, Anwar Usman, the chief judge of the Constitutional Court, granted a motion to change the minimum age of candidacy. Previously, Kaesang managed to become the chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party, which also supports Gibran. Meanwhile, in 2020, Bobby Nasution also managed to win the election in Medan as Mayor. Some parties considered the election to be forced. Jokowi is considered one of the actors who brought Indonesia towards authoritarianism.

Abstract

The development of political information media has progressed very rapidly. This research tries to explore and measure the political literacy and political participation of young people in Bandung City. The theory then used is cyberdemocracy to see the development of information space. The article uses a qualitative method based on library research to collect and analyze data from various literature sources, complemented by survey results from IPRC, to explore Cyberdemocracy theory and its application to social realities in Bandung City. The results show that the level of political literacy and political participation of the younger generation in Bandung City towards political information is still low. The results show that the advancement of information media only goes linearly with the increase in political literacy and political participation in virtual public spaces. As many as 42.3% of young people in Bandung City have been exposed to doubtful news or information. Exposure in this context is like receiving, reading, or even spreading information that is still doubtful and 52.4% have never expressed an opinion about political issues on digital sphere.

Abstract

The village chiefs in the Reform era in Indonesia were expected to transform from being servants of the state to being servants of their community. This hope was accompanied by a lot of support for regulatory changes to create economic equality for most local areas. However, 25 years after the Reform, the village chiefs still exercised great power so that they could easily influence and control the political participation of their citizens. Moreover, the village heads in the Reform era still came from the families of former or incumbent village heads who won the Pilkades because the wealth and connections that had been built for a long time with the villagers became the determinants of the victory of the old families. This article explains the efforts of village heads to maintain their influence so that they continue to be elected in every village head election because the power relations possessed by the old elites are still very influential for exchanging benefits as providers of life and as electoral assets. The art required data were collected in three selected villages such as Sagaherang Kidul Village, Sagalaherang Kaler Village, and Dayeuhkolot Village in Subang Regency, West Java, using a qualitative approach with descriptive method.

Abstract

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic provides trials as well as lessons for the democratic system in Indonesia. This article examines and discusses the sustainability of democracy in Indonesia by reflecting on the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method we use is qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, library research, and utilizing various online sources to analyze it. Our findings show that the government's strategy in anticipating the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the level of democracy. This can be seen in the politicization of regulations which has led to the arrest and prosecution of civilians who disagree with the government. Second, the occurrence of executive aggrandisement by attracting opposition elites into the government so that there is no resistance in terms of handling COVID-19 and, third, the birth of a discourse on the perpetuation of executive power. If there are no efforts to correct the course of democracy, then Indonesian democracy will experience a deeper setback than during the COVID-19 pandemic.Keywords: COVID-19, Executive Aggrandisement, Democratic Regression, Authority AbstrakPandemi COVID-19 memberikan cobaan sekaligus pembelajaran terhadap sistem demokrasi di Indonesia.  Artikel ini membahas dan mendiskusikan keberlanjutan demokrasi di Indonesia dengan bercermin pada penanganan pandemi COVID-19.  Metode penelitian yang kami gunakan adalah kualitatif dengan teknik pengutipan data melalui observasi, library research, serta memanfaatkan berbagai sumber online untuk menganalisisnya.  Temuan Kami menunjukkan bahwa strategi pemerintah dalam mengantisipasi pandemi COVID-19 telah menurunkan kadar demokrasi.  Ini tampak pada politisasi regulasi yang berujung pada penangkapan dan penuntutan warga sipil yang berseberangan pandangan dengan pemerintah.  Kedua, terjadinya executive aggrandisement dengan cara menarik menarik masuk elit oposisi dalam pemerintahan agar tidak ada perlawanan dalam hal penanganan COVID-19 dan, ketiga, lahirnya wacana pengekalan kekuasaan eksekutif.  Jika tak ada upaya koreksi atas jalannya demokrasi, maka demokrasi Indonesia akan mengalami kemunduran yang lebih dalam dari masa pandemi COVID-19 lalu.Kata Kunci: COVID-19, Executive aggrandisement, Regresi demokrasi, Kuasa

Abstract

Abstract Party leadership is an important aspect in showing the face of a political party to the public as voters. Several studies show that party leadership has a fairly strong influence in determining voting behavior (Liddle & Mujani, 2007). In the midst of the decentralization system in force in Indonesia, the presence of political parties at the regional level is thus a necessity, at least to reach voters at a more micro level. The touch between the community and the party at the regional level is certainly more intense compared to the party at the central level. The last four legislative elections in Bandung Regency (2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019), were always won by the Golkar party, until finally this dominance collapsed marked by the victory of the National Awakening Party (PKB) in the 2024 Bandung Regency legislative election. This victory occurred after the change in leadership of the National Awakening Party (PKB) at the regional level, in this case in Bandung Regency. Through the conceptual framework built by Stark (1996), related to the criteria for changing party leadership, this article aims to analyze in more depth how the change in leadership of the National Awakening Party of Bandung Regency can provide electoral incentives for the National Awakening Party's vote acquisition in the 2024 Bandung Regency legislative election. This article shows the factors of acceptance of party leaders by party members, electoral interest possessed by party leaders, and the competence of party leaders, which are supported by the factor of ownership of popular power as determinant factors that must be possessed by party leaders, as happened in the National Awakening Party (PKB) of Bandung Regency which succeeded in breaking the dominance of the Golkar Party in the 2024 Bandung Regency legislative election. Keywords: Change of Party Leadership, Popular Political Actors, PKB Abstrak Kepemimpinan partai menjadi aspek penting dalam menunjukkan wajah partai politik kepada publik sebagai pemilih. Beberapa studi menujukan kepemimpinan partai memiliki pengaruh cukup kuat dalam menentukan perilaku memilih (Liddle & Mujani, 2007). Di tengah sistem desentralisasi yang berlaku di Indonesia, kehadiran partai politik pada tingkatan daerah dengan begitu, menjadi suatu keharusan, paling tidak untuk menjangkau pemilih pada tingkatan yang lebih mikro. Sentuhan antara masyarakat dengan partai pada tingkatan daerah tentunya menjadi lebih intens dibandingkan dengan partai pada tingkatan pusat. Empat pemilu legislatif Kabupaten Bandung terakhir (2004, 2009, 2014, dan 2019), selalu dimenangkan oleh partai golongan karya (Golkar), sampai akhirnya dominasi tersebut runtuh ditandai dengan kemenangan partai kebangkitan bangsa (PKB) pada pemilu legislatif Kabupaten Bandung tahun 2024. Kemenangan tersebut terjadi pasca pergantian kepemimpinan partai kebangkitan bangsa (PKB) di tingkatan daerah, dalam hal ini di Kabupaten Bandung. Melalui kerangka konseptual yang dibangun oleh Stark (1996), terkait kriteria pergantian kepemimpinan partai, artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis lebih dalam bagaimana pergantian kepemimpinan partai kebangkitan bangsa Kabupaten Bandung dapat memberikan insentif elektoral terhadap raihan suara partai kebangkitan bangsa pada pemilu legislatif Kabupaten Bandung tahun 2024. Artikel ini menunjukkan faktor penerimaan pemimpin partai oleh anggota partai, ketertarikan elektoral yang dimiliki pemimpin partai, dan kompetensi pemimpin partai, yang ditopang oleh faktor kepemilikan kekuatan popular menjadi faktor determinan yang harus dimiliki oleh pemimpin partai, sebagaimana yang terjadi pada partai kebangkitan bangsa (PKB) Kabupaten Bandung yang berhasil mematahkan dominasi partai golkar pada pemilu legislatif Kabupaten Bandung tahun 2024.
