Abstract

The study of young voters has become a topic of interest to various academics and a strategic issue in local political dynamics, especially in contesting the 2024 Merauke Regional Head Elections. This study analyzes the factors influencing young voters' preferences in determining their political choices. Using a quantitative approach with a survey method, this study involved 300 respondents from among young voters in Merauke Regency. Three main approaches in the study of voter behavior were used. Namely, the sociological, social-psychological, and rational choice theory approaches are used to understand the complexity of the factors that influence the electoral decisions of young voters. The results showed that the Joseph Gebze-Fauzun Hinayah pair received the highest support (46%) from young voters due to their combined bureaucratic and legislative experience. The Hendrikus Mahuze-H. Riduwan pair came second with 28% support, which shows the appeal of executive and technocratic experience in local government. Meanwhile, David Gepze and H. Kusmanto obtained 21% of the vote despite receiving support from the local political elite, indicating that the influence of traditional leaders and the political elite is no longer a dominant factor for young voters. These findings also show that young voters are more independent and rational in determining their political choices. The candidate's track record, leadership competence, and development vision and mission are more decisive factors than traditional factors such as ethnic affiliation or political elite recommendations. In addition, social media is the main source of political information for young voters, reinforcing the argument that digitalization has increased their political awareness. This study concludes that issue-based campaign strategies, policy transparency, and political communication through digital platforms are crucial factors in attracting the support of young voters in the contemporary political era.

Abstract

This study finds the Black Sea not only as an arena of geopolitical competition, but also as a space where knowledge is produced in a fragmented way. The region has often been discussed as a site of rivalry between Russia and NATO, yet existing studies remain scattered across different topics and have not been integrated into a clear analytical framework. Therefore, this research seeks to address this gap by mapping research patterns to identify where these separations occur. Using bibliometric analysis with a co-occurrence technique (2021–2026), out of 755 terms, 32 met the minimum threshold (≥4), and 19 were selected as the final units of analysis. The identified conceptual clusters include war policy, the Russia–Ukraine conflict, territorial annexation, NATO’s role in the security architecture, Türkiye’s position as a regional actor, and the dynamics of Russian elites (Putin/Kremlin). The findings show that these clusters are not strongly interconnected, indicating that the research remains fragmented. In addition, the Russia–Ukraine conflict emerges as the most dominant topic, resulting in uneven academic attention across other issues. This study argues that the Black Sea should be understood not only as a strategic arena, but also as a fragmented epistemic space. It encourages a more reflexive approach and highlights the importance of connecting different strands of research to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of this complex region.
