Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze this phenomenon through a qualitative, literature-based approach, using Jeffrey Winters' political oligarchy theory as an analytical framework. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature analysis. This study uses the theory of political oligarchy developed by Jeffrey Winters as the main analytical framework. The analysis process is carried out through three main stages. Main Findings: The results of the study show that the increasing number of single candidates is a manifestation of the strengthening of the power of political oligarchy, where political elites control the electoral mechanism to maintain power. However, the victory of the empty box in several regions indicates public resistance to the limitations of political choices and candidates who are considered not to meet expectations. This phenomenon has an impact on the quality of democracy and the legitimacy of local government, as well as being a warning of the need for political system reform to create a more inclusive and competitive democracy. Novelty/Originality of this study: Research on the Empty Box Phenomenon in the 2024 Election reveals manifestations of public resistance to political oligarchy, which reflects public dissatisfaction with the dominance of certain political forces and shows the potential for change in the dynamics of general elections at the regional level.

Abstract

This study examines the importance of enhancing the capacity of women before running as legislative candidates in Lumajang Regency by analyzing the Women's Empowerment Index, Gender Index, and educational status of female legislators. The identified problem is that although parties meet a 30% quota for female candidates, this is often viewed as a formal requirement without strong support to ensure their election. The study aims to highlight the need for capacity-building prior to candidacy and propose concrete steps to improve it. Using a descriptive approach with secondary data analysis, the research reviews journals, statistical data, and media reports on women's legislative capacity in Lumajang. The Likert scoring method (1–5) assesses capacity in political knowledge, education, diplomatic skills, and concern for development. Results indicate gender-responsive planning is fairly well implemented but reveal significant gaps in education and institutional support. Female legislators' capacity is adequate but needs improvement, especially in education, diplomacy, and development knowledge. Only two of five female legislators hold bachelor’s degrees; the rest have only high school education, showing an educational gap that hinders effectiveness. Recommendations include increasing access to higher education, continuous training, optimizing empowerment programs, and ensuring that female candidate quotas come with concrete support. This study’s implications strengthen women’s representation and promote gender balance in local politics, contributing to more inclusive and effective governance in Lumajang Regency.

Abstract

The conflict between agricultural expansion and biodiversity conservation has become a global challenge, with coffee plantations contributing to 2.3 million hectares of deforestation over the past decade, particularly in tropical forest areas with high conservation value. This article explores the integration of High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) safeguards within coffee-producing landscapes in Mandailing Natal District, North Sumatra. Using data from the 2023 HCV-HCS assessment, it identifies spatial overlaps between ecologically critical areas and smallholder coffee plantations, highlighting regulatory gaps that facilitate environmental degradation. This research employs a multi-method approach, combining geospatial analysis, a comprehensive regulatory review, and participatory institutional mapping, to generate innovative and integrated policy recommendations. The brief advocates for updating spatial plans, issuing local regulations, providing technical guidance, and establishing farmer incentives to support conservation-aligned coffee production. The anticipated benefits of this research include increased farmer income through sustainable certification, improved government policy effectiveness in landscape management, and the conservation of high-value ecosystems for future generations.
