Abstract

This article examines the forms of politico-religious narratives constructed by Islamic parties in relation to public health support and electoral interests during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Focusing on the United Development Party (PPP) and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the study employs a political discourse analysis approach, drawing data from media reports and the parties’ official websites concerning the government’s pandemic response. The findings indicate that both PPP and PKS utilized religious narratives to provide a spiritual framework for interpreting the pandemic, which aligns with their respective political stances and electoral objectives. The PPP, with its traditionalist base and role within the governing coalition, framed the pandemic as a divine test, promoting adherence to health protocols and civil obedience with subtle criticism. In contrast, the oppositional PKS portrayed the pandemic as a disaster necessitating divine protection, while consistently criticizing the government’s handling of the crisis. The article concludes that Islamic parties’ disaster perspectives are shaped by the interplay of religious narratives and political interests.

Abstract

Although the overall electoral support for Muslim-based parties in Indonesia has been relatively stable since the Reformasi, the 2024 election represents a critical moment in which the PPP failed to pass the parliamentary threshold. This divergence raises the question: why did PPP break down while other major Muslim-based parties (PKS, PKB, PAN) persisted? Employing a qualitative comparative approach, this paper contends that electoral performance is shaped by the constitutive interplay of governance capacity and strategic adaptation. We show that PKS pursues bounded adaptation and relies on relatively high governance capacity to maintain loyalty among its core constituencies; PKB mixes established governance with high strategic adaptation in order to use NU based networks and presidential coattail effects; and PAN pairs relatively high governance capacity and aggressive demographic segmentation. By contrast, the demise of PPP is attributed to low or incoherent governance capacity, which renders its adaptive strategy sporadic and lacking credibility. Theoretically, this article shifts the analytical focus from static party institutionalization to dynamic organizational capability. It also argues that religious identity becomes an electoral asset when it is managed through a balance between internal governance and adaptation, with institutions strong enough to withstand the shocks of strategic pragmatism.

Abstract

While identity politics has been central to modern political disputes, little work has systematically explored how its discursive deployment has limited interpretations in Indonesia. This paper seeks to fill that gap by examining changes in Indonesian academic discourse from 2011 to 2023 through a systematic literature review and content analysis of 60 peer-reviewed scholarly articles, adopting a Foucauldian genealogical method. Our findings reveal that in the initial phase of our baseline period (2011–15), identity politics was commonly represented as a cultural and ethnic phenomenon or, alternatively, as a natural outcome of plural democracy. A significant rift occurred in 2016–2017, when the “Aksi Bela Islam 212” (action to defend Islam) and the Jakarta gubernatorial election mobilised religious identities and harnessed them as a major academic frame. By 2019, scholarly opinion had little else to call identity politics than religio-electoral arrangements in the register of polarisation and democracy’s perils. However, termination, along with alternative expressions such as gender and ethnic empowerment, received considerably less attention until more recently. The narrowing identifies how Indonesian scholarship has prioritised high-stakes religious electoral politics over broader and more emancipatory identity politics. The research, therefore, highlights how discourse, power, and knowledge production interpenetrate to shape identity politics in post-authoritarian Indonesia.
