Abstract

One of the underlying factors contributing to the low revenue of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) lies in the suboptimal utilization of PAD sources, notably stemming from shifts in economic structures, tax capacity, and imposed retributions. This study aims to analyze the inequality of PAD potential between regencies and municipalities, which results in the ratio of PAD to Local Government Budget (APBD) in regencies being significantly different from municipalities. This study aims to unveil the nuanced intricacies of PAD potential disparities by employing a mixed-method approach encompassing descriptive quantitative and qualitative analyses to capture comprehensive analysis. Data collected from scientific papers and secondary data which used content validation to control relevancy of different data sources. The results show that regency governments have different characteristics from municipal governments regarding geographical landscape, economic structures, and population. These differences affect the local revenue potential, which should be managed differently from municipal fiscal policy. The disparity in Public Agency Revenue (PAD) between the two entities is attributed to the national government’s failure to address the revenue-raising capabilities of regency governments adequately. Although local taxes are diverse, only a limited number are reliable local revenue sources. The field of taxation is characterized by a high degree of centralization, as the central authority collects all major and most productive types of taxes, including both direct and indirect taxes. The symmetric decentralization policy between regencies and cities progressively limits the capacity of district governments to enhance local revenue.

Abstract

Rohingya refugees, originating from Myanmar, face significant challenges in Southeast Asia due to official non-recognition and systemic discrimination. Many seek refuge in neighboring countries like Indonesia. Employing qualitative research methods and an extensive literature review, this study investigates Indonesia’s responses to the Rohingya crisis from a political perspective. Additionally, building upon conflict resolution theory, it emphasizes the importance of dialogue, mediation, and compromise in addressing intricate crises. Furthermore, it explores concepts such as humanitarian diplomacy and regionalism, elucidating Indonesia’s role within ASEAN-led mechanisms. The research reveals key findings, showing Indonesia’s active participation in diplomatic initiatives addressing the Rohingya crisis, both bilaterally and within multilateral forums. Indonesia’s policy stances reflect a commitment to humanitarian principles and regional stability, emphasizing the protection of Rohingya rights. As a prominent member of ASEAN, Indonesia has leveraged regional platforms to advocate for collective action and effectively address the Rohingya crisis. This research sheds light on Indonesia’s role in addressing one of Southeast Asia’s most pressing humanitarian challenges, underscoring the importance of regional cooperation in finding sustainable solutions.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the relationship between political policy and social welfare, with a focus on the dynamics of the Social Assistance Program (Bansos) and its impact on electability in Indonesia. In a dynamic political context, social assistance programs have a significant role in shaping public perceptions of government performance. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. This research found that the main focus of social assistance is on the poor as the group most in need. Unfortunately, the practice of politicizing social assistance often occurs before general elections, obscuring its true purpose. Research notes cases of politicization, such as the use of the Family Hope Program as a campaign tool, detrimental to the essence of the welfare program. Regulatory reform, application of the concept of graduation, and policy focus on economic empowerment are crucial steps to maintain the effectiveness of social assistance, avoid the risk of politicization, and address the root causes of poverty in a sustainable manner. The decision of the Government and DPR to shorten the campaign period further increases the risk of politicization, especially with the existence of a socialization period which can be used to maneuver without sanctions. Criticism of the increase in the allocation of social assistance funds indicates the potential for pork barrel politics, where the government may use it selectively for the benefit of increasing electability. Increased supervision, transparency, political literacy, and a strong media role are key in overcoming the complex challenges of politicization of social assistance and pork barrel politics ahead of the elections.

Abstract

This research describes the governance practices of the commons in Bali, including land, water sources, coastal areas, and forests, which are communally owned and managed. The relationship between the state and the community has led to changes in this governance. The author examines the practice of governing the commons in the context of post-New Order Bali, offering an alternative to dominant governance that often overlooks the common welfare. This is a qualitative study that utilizes a case study method to explore alternative governance of the commons in Bali. The study examines the governance of the commons in Tenganan Pegringsingan and the Masyarakat Adat Dalem Tamblingan, and finds that community groups (Sekaa) are directly involved in the management of the commons. Furthermore, it appears that government intervention in village affairs has had detrimental impact.

Abstract

This study examines power relations in the context of literacy improvement in East Java Province. In addition to the persistent stagnation in TGM and IPLM scores, the Library and Archive Office (Dispusip) of East Java Province also faces unequal access to and varying quality of library services, which are crucial in improving literacy levels in East Java. These challenges are deeply intertwined with power relations, where leaders wield dominant influence over decision-making processes and policy implementation. This study employed a combination of descriptive and literature review methods, with data analysis conducted through a qualitative approach. It uncovered various factors and implications related to power relations within the Library and Archive Office (Dispusip) of East Java, particularly the hierarchical power structures and centralization. In this context, the Secretary of the Library Office (Sekdis) played a dominant role in shaping decision-making processes. The outcomes of centralized power encompassed power imbalances and internal conflicts within the Dispusip, including a noteworthy observation that numerous librarians launched programs without seeking approval from their leaders. Furthermore, the study highlights the librarians’ challenges in adapting to evolving demands, primarily stemming from limited human resource capabilities, which consequently lead to a decline in their performance. In response to these intricate challenges, this study underscores the importance of promoting open dialogues through participatory forums, implementing the principles of good governance, and empowering individuals by enhancing their skills and knowledge base.

Abstract

This study examines the politics of representation of the “Rumah Aspirasi Rakyat Aam Amarulloh” in representing the people’s aspirations in Cilegon City. This Aspiration House is an intermediary space between constituents and legislators, facilitating communication and conveying public aspiration. The research method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and direct observation of activities at the Aspiration House. The research results show that around 80% of the aspirations collected have been responsively followed by the relevant legislator, Aam Amarulloh. These findings indicate that “Rumah Aspirasi Rakyat Aam Amarulloh” effectively facilitates the public in conveying their complaints and aspirations. Furthermore, the residents in electoral district 3 Cilegon Municipal, which includes the Pulomerak and Grogol districts, express a deep sense of satisfaction with the performance of this Aspiration House. Thus, this study provides empirical evidence that the descriptive representation model applied in this Aspiration House can enhance public participation and representation in the legislative process. The study also suggests that further development is needed to improve some aspects that are still less optimal.

Abstract

Regional head elections (Pilkada) are a crucial moment in Indonesia’s political dynamics, but in 2024, political polarization reached its peak, causing significant impacts on local democracy. This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of political polarization in the 2024 regional elections and analyze its implications for the sustainability of local democracy in Indonesia. Through a mixed approach that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis, this study attempts to understand the root causes of political polarization, measure the level of polarization in different regions, and evaluate the resulting political consequences. Political polarization in the context of the 2024 regional elections reflects the increasing tension between different political parties, especially in terms of ideological conflicts and differences in political views. It is influenced by factors such as national polarization, local political dynamics, and the increased use of social media as a tool to amplify divisive political narratives. The results show that political polarization in the 2024 local elections has far-reaching impacts on local democracy, including decreased public political participation, heightened political tensions, and the risk of social conflict that could potentially undermine political stability. The long-term implications of this political polarization highlight the need for appropriate measures to strengthen local democracy and rebuild public trust in the political process. In this context, efforts to promote inclusive political dialog, improve people’s political literacy, and reduce excessive political tension are crucial to maintaining the health of local democracy in Indonesia. Only with these measures can local democracy develop positively and embody strong and inclusive democratic principles amidst complex political dynamics.

Abstract

West Java has the largest number of voters including young elections, but there are symptoms where political parties have rarely been placed as subjects in elections by political parties. This study aims to describe the strategies of the Gerindra Party, PDIP, and PKS in mobilizing youth support in the 2019 elections in West Java and to analyze research phenomena based on the theory used so that it is hoped that new concepts will be obtained in mobilizing youth support during the election momentum, especially in implementing strategies mobilization that places the youth segment as a political subject, not only as an object of party strategy. The research method in this study used qualitative methods and descriptive techniques including literature review and in-depth interviews with party members and youth activists,. The research results show that in the 2019 Election the Gerindra Party, PDI Perjuangan, and PKS used several strategies in mobilizing youth support. However, not all strategies are carried out optimally. For example, the PKS does not utilize volunteers or its party wings in mobilizing youth due to differences in views within political parties, the use of mass media is not yet optimal, as well as the use of election data in formulating strategies is not optimal.

Abstract

This research explores the transformative impact of social media on political campaigns, particularly in the context of Malaysia’s 15th General Election (GE15). Social media platforms as a political campaigning tool highlight its influence on young voters and their perceptions of political figures. In addition, social media has revolutionized the dynamics of political engagement, it has also introduced challenges such as the spread of misinformation, hate speech, and unequal access among political parties. This research applied a qualitative method by comparing various literatures. Leveraging The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study aims to analyze how social media influences election outcomes and shape public opinion. The findings reveal that social media played a significant role in GE15, with candidates strategically utilizing platforms like Facebook and TikTok to engage voters, especially the youth demographic. Ultimately, social media not only serves as a battleground for public discourse but also shapes the political landscape by reaching out to digital natives and first-time voters who rely on social media for news and information. This research contributes to the understanding of digital campaign dynamics by demonstrating how the perceived ease of use and usefulness of social media influence political campaigning. It underscores the critical role of technological acceptance in the adoption of new media strategies by political actors. By applying TAM, this study provides valuable insights into the power of social media in modern political campaigns, offering practical recommendations for political strategists and parties aiming to enhance their digital engagement and campaign effectiveness in future elections.
