Abstract

This thesis aims to see how social capital is utilized in the process of selecting female gubernatorial candidates in the 2018 election. The research subjects were Karolin Margret Natassa of West Kalimantan and Khofifah Indar Parawansa of East Java. This phenomenon needs to be studied through a constructive paradigm, to find out how these two women formed and used their social capital to win as governors, a position that has rarely been filled by women since the direct local election era began. A social capital analysis is placed at the micro (individual) level in the structural (network) dimension using the Social Capital theory of Pierre Bourdieu and Robert Putnam. This research also wanting to identifies what kind of political pathways lead women into political contestation, and how it can affect the instrumentalization pattern of their social capital. The research procedure was carried out using qualitative methods where data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with key informants and then deepened by literature studies. The results showed that Karolin and Khofifah have different types of social network ties in the process of utilizing their social capital. Karolin is a Bonding type (Same identity with strong ties characteristic and more focusing on internal traits), while Khofifah is a Bridging and Linking type, where the earned trust is used to bridge the interests of groups and later to be activated as a ladder to her political interests. The results of the study also identified Karolin as a politician from the elite route and Khofifah as a politician from the grassroots route.

Abstract

Every government, regardless of size, must constantly adapt to a changing environment and direct a change in a positive direction in which development is a key to do so.  The tourism industry is one of the few development fields that has consistently excelled.  The purpose of the Surabaya City Tourism and Culture Office, which bears the nickname "City of Heroes", is to increase tourist attraction through artistic and cultural performances.  In 2018, the Ministry of Tourism designated Surabaya as the winner of the “Best City” in Yokatta Wonderful Indonesia Tourism Awards.  The city government has made several initiatives to promote tourism.  The Surabaya City Government carried out preventive efforts in the form of the 2019 annual Surabaya Cross-Cultural International Themed Folk Art Festival. The focus of this research is to explain the implementation of Surabaya Cross Culture International activities and to describe the collaboration between government actors (government, civil society, and the private sector). This research is a descriptive qualitative research with interviews and literature review as the data collection techniques. The resource persons in the study were the Cultural Affairs Staff of the Surabaya City Culture and Tourism Office, the Head of Surabaya Local Parliament for the 2014–2019 period, and the Ning Representative for the City of Surabaya in 2019. The results of this study showed success eventhought there were several technical constraints in implementing the policy indicators proposed by Van Meter and Van Horn, namely the objectives and standards of the policy, the implementers’ attitude, resources, the implementers’ characteristics and communication between organizations and the economic, social, and political environment.  In addition, the collaboration carried out by the government, the private sector, and the community shows synergy to support the successful implementation of Surabaya Cross Culture International.

Abstract

Despite the fact that there is high agricultural policy density in Tanzania, implementation of the agricultural policies has remained ineffective. Studies to explain the causes of implementation ineffectiveness are vast. However, the political dimension of agricultural policy implementation is seldom systematically examined. Thus politics as a variable that can steer implementation has hitherto received a narrow focus. The article examines how the political dynamic has led to ineffective agricultural policy implementation in Tanzania. The article applies qualitative research methods. We used in-depth interviews with key agricultural and political stakeholders to uncover the effects of politics on agricultural policy implementation. Empirical data shows that the implementation of agricultural policies in Tanzania is vastly affected by politics. Politics has affected the allocation of resources required for effective policy implementation. The paper has also noted incidences of political capture in the form of threats, political interference, imprecise prioritisation, resource diversion, rent-seeking and embezzlement of policy implementation resources. Our analysis shows that politics matters in policy implementation. Politics has been a source of implementation disruptions when it is misapplied. This article champions the body of knowledge on the policy-politics dichotomy by arguing that applying politics rightly in the policy process can reduce implementation disruptions.

Abstract

The food import policies of the Joko-JK and Joko-Ma'ruf governments are often questioned and criticized by various groups. For at least three reasons. First, since the 2014 Presidential Election campaign, the Joko-JK pair declared “war” on food imports. There are promises that are often repeated –until when they are elected– not to import food such as rice, meat, salt, sugar, and others. Second, domestic potential can actually be optimized to meet food needs. The government itself provides a written commitment to self-sufficiency in food. Third, food import policies are often ineffective, because apart from not making prices stable, the elites are also more interested in them. Food imports that flowed heavily from the Joko-JK era to the Joko-Ma'ruf period lacked an objective (economic) reason, but rather because of the interest of rent-seeking by rent-seekers. This policy actually reinforces extractive economic practices, rather than efforts to improve the welfare of the societies.

Abstract

This research discusses the emergence of cebong and kampret political identities and their penetration through social media from 2014 to 2022. Segmentation and doctrine of political groups in the 2014 Presidential Election (Pilpres) clashed where Joko Widodo supporters were labeled as cebong and Prabowo Subianto's supporters as kampret. This is qualitative research. Source of data taken through observation and literature study. The results of the study show that the penetration of cebong and kampret identity politics on social media was formed from clashes between the political elites of the PDI-P Party and the Gerindra Party. The process of defining identity antagonistically by defining who is friend and who is foe participates in strengthening identity which results in a “zero sum game” relationship between subjects. This process triggers the emergence of other definitions of identity such as the kampret label giving rise to the cebong label, the cebong label gives rise to the kadrun label and so on. The next stage of penetration is the emergence of the existence and influence of influencers on the cebong-kapret feud phenomenon. The existence of Ade Armando and Denny Siregar as supporters of Joko Widodo as well as the existence of the Opposite6890 account which created negative narratives against Jokowi's government strengthened this institutionalized polarization. This is also an attempt to impress the existence of enemies that hinder the search for power. The characteristics of social media that provide space for freedom of expression without space and time barriers make political expression negative. The emergence of this political identity group has been identified to trigger the development of blasphemy, hate speech, and hoaxes that have the potential to cause division and undermine the nationalism of Indonesian citizens.

Abstract

Terrorism is a phenomenon with a long history. Scholars from many different disciplines research terrorism. One of the disciplines studying the phenomenon of terrorism is International Relations. Significantly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the discipline's interest in terrorism increased dramatically. However, increasing academic studies since the early 2000s did not lead to an increase in the contribution of the field to Terrorism Studies. The state-centric perspective of Neorealism and Neoliberalism is a fundamental reason behind this problem. Constructivism offers an alternative to the state-centric view. In this context, I examine the role of identity and discourse on terrorism by adopting the Constructivist perspective. Within this scope, the manifestos of eight different terrorists within three various terrorist organizations were examined. In parallel, news about the terrorists whose manifestos were examined was analyzed. Using text analysis, results suggest that both terrorists and the media divide the world into two "us" and "them." The results of this study provide interesting insights and empirical implications on International Relations. In this research, I give an overview of this research area. I then discuss this research's primary results and explain why the Constructivist approach, identity, and discourse are essential in terrorism research.

Abstract

This article discusses the Labor Party’s initiatives to create a political party that represents Indonesia’s working class. Unlike other parties that were formed because of factionalization, internal conflict, or top-down by certain business elites, The Labor Party demonstrates the existence of political parties in Indonesia that were founded as an expression of dissatisfaction with a particular state policy, like Cipta Kerja Bill.  Using the method and discourse theory by Ernesto Laclau, this article argues that the Labor Party's founding was initiated by enacting regulation that was seen as the “common enemy” of social organizations. The existence of a common enemy revives the shared awareness and forms the logic of equivalence of having a political party as its own. As a party based on the working class, it creates political frontiers against the government, existing political parties, and oligarchs, which are considered responsible for not fulfilling the demands of the working class in Indonesia.

Abstract

The fall of Suharto did not make the position of civil society grow and had a significant impact on the trajectory of the consolidation of Indonesian democracy after the 1998 Reformation. Instead, in the sharing of the results, the picture is of a civil society that is much weaker and unable to support democratic agendas. The weakening of civil society after the 1998 reform was motivated by many factors, such as the tragedy of the 1965 massacre and the strengthening of the position of oligarchic groups in the post-1998 reform democratic system. Oligarchic networks are able to hijack democratic institutions through democratic means for the accumulation and protection of material resources. The operationalization of oligarchic networks in weakening the position of civil society manifests itself in repressive measures in a number of regulations that restrict the expression of freedom in the public sphere, such as the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions, which has so far often been usedas an instrument by public officials in silencing critics.In the midst of weakening and subordinating the position of civil society, it increasingly confirms that the institutional approach—an approach that is often used to measure the quality of democracy—is not enough to support the sustainability of an empowered and bargaining civil society in powerrelations. This is exactly where structural approaches come into play to address the impasse of democracy and the sustainability of civil society in post-1998 democratic politics. Through the use of qualitative approaches with descriptive analysis methods, this paper sees that the democratic agendas after the 1998 reform have not changed much towards improvement due to the weakening of the position of civil society.
