Abstract

This study examines how local wisdom operates as a mechanism of political negotiation to reduce anarchic tendencies in protests in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research focuses on the dynamics of demonstrations, a period marked by heightened student activism and public dissent in various Indonesian cities. Unlike other regions where protests often escalate into repressive or violent acts, Yogyakarta exhibits a distinctive pattern through a more dialogical and culturally grounded approach. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study collected data through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis on protest dynamics and local governance practices. The findings reveal that local wisdom—embodied in the values of deliberation, social harmony, and the symbolic authority of the Sultanate—functions as a soft instrument of political negotiation among local authorities, student movements, and the broader community. This mechanism effectively mitigates conflict escalation and sustains peaceful demonstrations. This study contributes to the theory of hybrid governance by illustrating how cultural legitimacy operates as a subtle form of political negotiation within contemporary democratic practice

Abstract

This article examines the proliferation of conservative Islamic movements in Indonesia following the collapse of the New Order in 1998. Drawing on a qualitative approach grounded in comprehensive literature analysis, the study employs political opportunity structure theory to demonstrate how the Reformasi Era opened new institutional and discursive spaces for previously marginalized conservative Islamic groups to renegotiate their position within national politics. The resurgence of these movements materialized in three principal forms: the proliferation of Islamic political parties in the 1999 general elections; the revitalization of debates on the Jakarta Charter during the constitutional amendment process; and the expansion of Sharia-inspired regional regulations across a wide range of local governments. The article argues that decentralization under the Reformasi Era inadvertently created enabling political opportunities that facilitated the consolidation, institutionalization, and public expansion of conservative Islamic activism in post-authoritarian Indonesia
