Abstract

Primordial loyalty that breeds fanaticism is often used by politicians as a shortcut and easy way to gather support. By using primordial interests, politicians do not need to work hard to gain support from the people. This research seeks to explain why Jambi Malay ethnic loyalty, as the dominant group, was not formed in relation to the Mayor Election in Jambi City. What are the factors that cause Malay ethnic sentiment not to appear. The data in this study were obtained through in-depth interviews, documentation, and news in the mass media. It is possible for the results of this study to be replicated in areas outside Jambi City to see whether the ethnic Malays elsewhere also have the same cultural roots, political attitudes, and habits, or vice versa. The results of this study will provide an explanation of the theoretical implications of the political events that occurred in the city of Jambi. The results of this study can be used to predict the future of Malay ethnic politics in the midst of an electoral democratic political system that is taking place in Indonesia.

Abstract

Imam Al-Mawardi, one of the most influential political thinkers in the history of Islamic civilization, provides a robust normative framework through the concept of al-imamah in his seminal work, Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyyah. Al-Mawardi emphasizes that power is not merely a tool for domination but a divine trust (amanah ilahiyah) that must be exercised to uphold justice, safeguard the public interest (maslahah), and protect the rights of the people. This study aims to analyze Al-Mawardi's concept of power and examine its relevance within the context of post-reform Indonesian democracy. The research employs a qualitative approach based on a literature review, utilizing a descriptive-comparative analysis technique to compare the normative framework of classical Islam with the principles of modern democracy. The findings indicate a convergence between the two systems regarding the legitimacy of power, public participation, and leadership accountability. Al-Mawardi, through the institution of ahl al-halli wa al-‘aqdi, provides a theoretical foundation for community representation in the leadership selection process, which functionally resembles elections in a democratic system. However, there are also epistemic tensions between the two, particularly concerning the source of sovereignty (God vs. the people) and the legal basis (Sharia vs. positive law). These findings reinforce the argument that classical Islamic political thought, when interpreted contextually rather than formalistically, can serve as a source of values to enhance the quality of substantive democracy in Indonesia

Abstract

Islamic fundamentalist groups played an important role in Indonesia's 2019 presidential election. They openly sided with the number 2 candidate, Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Solahudin Uno. Even today, the presidential election was marked by polarization and religious sentiments that are very strong and sharp. This study examined the model of presidential election contestation that will likely take place in 2024, the position of fundamentalist groups in political contestation, and its relation to religious polarization trends. This qualitative research used a case study approach to explore political models and attitudes in presidential election contestation. Interest group theory was placed to analyze the issue. The results showed that the map of contestation that will occur in 2024 will still be the same as the 2019 presidential election contestation. Second, the division between religious groups will still occur in the 2024 presidential election. Third, the alignment of religious fundamentalist groups in the 2024 presidential election will lead to figures willing and able to accommodate their groups.

Abstract

This community engagement program aims to strengthen the political awareness of party cadres through the integration of the Baddeley–James model and the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach in Kerinci Regency. The primary issue addressed is the limited analytical capacity of cadres in understanding power dynamics, alongside suboptimal ethical political behavior. A participatory method was employed using the ABCD cycle (discovery, dream, design, define, and destiny), combined with training in reading and carrying skills. The results indicate significant improvements in political understanding, active participation, and behavioral transformation toward more critical, reflective, and ethical political practices. Participants were also able to apply these competencies in field activities, particularly in capturing public aspirations and formulating policy recommendations. Furthermore, the program produced a training module and an ABCD-based political awareness model with replication potential. These findings highlight that integrating cognitive and participatory approaches is effective in fostering political behavior transformation and strengthening substantive local democratic practices

Abstract

This study examines family financial resilience as a crime prevention strategy from the perspective of Islamic family law, focusing on Koto Baru and Hamparan Rawang Districts in Sungai Penuh, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case-study design, the research integrates Islamic family law, family resilience theory, and criminological perspectives on crime prevention. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with a family head, religious leader, village official, and community police officer (Bhabinkamtibmas), supported by field observations and documentary analysis. The findings show that financial resilience strengthens family stability and the capacity to manage domestic pressures. Economic instability emerged as the most persistent source of family pressure, affecting household organization, decision-making, and conflict management. Families with limited financial capacity were more vulnerable to prolonged conflict and required stronger religious and community support. Religious leaders and community police officers prioritized non-penal interventions through religious guidance, mediation, and family assistance before formal legal measures. The findings indicate that religious commitment alone is insufficient to prevent family conflict without adequate financial and social capacity. The study concludes that family financial resilience can function as a preventive mechanism when reinforced by religious guidance, community mediation, and responsive community policing. The study contributes a transdisciplinary framework linking family financial resilience, Islamic family law, and crime prevention, with implications for family empowerment, religious counseling, and community-based crime prevention.
