Abstract

In democratic countries such as Indonesia, social media has gained importance as one of the tools to improve political literacy that leads to increase in political participation. This phenomenon has prompted many studies to explore the impact of technology-based communication tools on political knowledge and political participation. This article aims to determine the significance effect of social media usage on political knowledge and political participation in a structural model as well as to investigate whether social media usage effects political participation directly or through the mediating role of political knowledge. This study uses two theoretical frameworks, namely Uses and Gratification Theory and Cognitive-Affective-Conative Framework. The location of this research is in Surabaya, Indonesia with 400 respondents were taken by using multi-stage random sampling technique that represent the population of eligible voters in Surabaya. The research results show that the structural model built confirms the hypothesized theoretical model. The conclusion of this study shows that social media usage has directly and indirectly influences political participation in the presidential election in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article discusses the development of the study of “political engineering” and the theoretical discourse used to formulate the continuity and novelty of future studies. It begins by identifying previous studies that serve as the theoretical foundation, and a literature review method is employed to identify the similarities and differences among existing studies, which are then used to formulate new conceptions. The findings indicate that the perspective of “political engineering” has a strong basis and foundation to be developed as a major field of study in Political Science. This is not only due to the variety and development of studies in recent decades, but also because the needs for political science to transform into applicable, practical knowledge capable of addressing contemporary challenges are increasingly urgent. The conception of “new political engineering” focuses on behavior engineering, using psychological mechanisms referred to as hope and fear, directly targeting actors (with or through institutions) and no longer making political institutions the main object of study. Instead, it extends to campaign messages, marketing management, system functions, political institutions, policy products, and policymakers to explain and direct voter behavior.
