Abstract

AbstrakKorupsi dan demokrasi merupakan dua hal yang terkait erat dimana korupsi selalu menjadi masalah dalam institusi demokrasi. Adanya distribusi kekuasaan dalam tiga lembaga tinggi demokrasi dan open policy system memberikan peluang besar bagi terjadinya kasus korupsi. Sementara, demokrasi memungkinkan terlibatnya aktor non-negara dalam pemerintahan salah satunya Organisasi Masyarakat Sipil (CSO). CSO berfungsi sebagai elemen kritis ketika pemerintah tidak mampu menjalankan pemerintahan dengan baik dalam menanggulangi isu-isu tertentu termasuk korupsi. Sehingga, penelitian ini hendak menggambarkan peran CSO di tingkat pemerintah daerah yang menaruh perhatian pada peran MCW sebagai salah satu bentuk CSO dalam mengawal pilkada Batu tahun 2017. Tulisan ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Berdasarkan penelitian lapangan dan telaah pustaka, temuan penulis menunjukan bahwa CSO dianggap menjadi salah satu obat mujarab dalam menunjang sistem demokrasi yang ideal termasuk pilkada. Melalui pilkada Batu tahun 2017, MCW berperan dalam monitoring, investigasi, dan advokasi serta menemukan adanya kasus korupsi berupa; manipulasi dana kampanye oleh partai politik atau kandidat; penyalahgunaan dana dan sumber daya negara oleh partai politik atau kandidat dan politik uang. Kata Kunci: CSO, MCW, Demokrasi, Korupsi    AbstractCorruption and democracy are two closely related issues where corruption is always a problem in democratic institutions. The presence of power distribution in the three institutions of democracy and open policy system provides a great opportunity for corruption cases. Meanwhile, democracy allows the involvement of non-state actors in the government of one of the CSOs. CSOs serve as a critical element when governments are unable to run the government well in tackling certain issues including corruption. Thus, this research would like to describe the role of CSOs at the local government level that pay attention to the role of MCW as one form of CSO in escorting the Batu election in 2017. This paper is a descriptive qualitative research. Based on field research and literature review, the findings of the authors show that CSO is considered to be one of the elixirs in supporting the ideal democratic system including elections. Through the elections of Batu in 2017, MCW plays a role in monitoring, investigation, and advocacy and finds cases of corruption in the form of; manipulation of campaign funds by political parties or candidates; misuse of state funds and resources by political parties or candidates and money politics.Keywords: CSO, MCW, Democracy, Corruption

Abstract

This article aims to explore China's foreign policy changes on the South China Sea dispute (SCS) since China has been willing to participate in regional or multilateral forums to date. This article argues that although the main characters and narratives of China’s foreign policy tend to be consistent, Chinese foreign policy behavior is changing. This study is a qualitative research that using non-numerical data sources, both primary and secondary. China's foreign policy behavior on the issue of SCS is divided into four phases. First, the passive and defensive phases. China still suspects that multilateral forums are a way of suppressing Chinese interests. Second, active phase. In this phase, China begins to believe in itself as a big and powerful country so as not to worry that multilateral forums will threaten its national security. Third, the initiative phase. China goes a step further by initiating some important multilateral initiative and multilateral breakthroughs in the long term project. Fourth, assertive phase. In this phase, China is involved in several incidents, consistent with their interests, while trying to refrain from initiating an open war. Through the change of foreign policy, China has adapted itself to contemporary international politics and has maintained its national interest in SCS.
