Abstract

In the 2024 presidential election, a fan community (fandom) named Humanies emerged to support one of the presidential candidates, Anies Baswedan. This support began with the emergence of @aniesbubble and @olpproject accounts on social media X, which carried out many activities that adopted fandom culture, such as crowdfunding and fan-projects to support their idol. This research aims to find out how fandom culture is utilized in Anies Baswedan’s political campaign on social media X, how the utilization of fandom politicization affects the gen-Z view about Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Presidential Election, and to determine the effectiveness of the campaign. The research method is a mixed-method that combines qualitative and quantitative approaches, conducted with netnography and survey. The result of this research shows that @aniesbubble and @olpproject accounts successfully adopted fandom culture as a campaign tool for Anies Baswedan. In addition, this research finds out that the politicization of fandom proved to have an influence of 79% on gen-Z’s views on Anies Baswedan and the campaign proved to be effective.

Abstract

Global governance is increasingly shaped by major power groupings such as the G7, BRICS, and the G20. This structure creates political constraints for middle powers that have diplomatic capacity but limited individual influence in global decision-making. This study examines how Mexico uses Mexico, Indonesia, Korea, Turkey, and Australia (MIKTA) as a coalition strategy to strengthen its political influence in global governance. The study uses a qualitative case study design based on desk research. The analysis relies on official documents, MIKTA statements, government publications, and academic literature on middle powers, role theory, and Mexico’s foreign policy. Role theory is used to examine Mexico’s agenda-setting, coalition-building, niche diplomacy, institutional engagement, leadership role, and recognition-seeking. Data are analyzed through source triangulation and thematic interpretation to ensure consistency between diplomatic discourse and political role performance. The study finds that Mexico uses MIKTA to expand diplomatic visibility, strengthen coalition-based bargaining, and seek recognition as a global governance actor. Mexico’s middle power activism through MIKTA shows that influence is not only produced through material power, but also through role performance, institutional engagement, and coalition politics. This study contributes to political science debates on middle power activism, coalition politics, and the role of secondary powers in unequal global governance structures.

Abstract

Tanzania’s democratic transition is often associated with political stability, regular elections, peaceful leadership succession, and respect for presidential term limits. However, this stability has developed alongside persistent concerns over electoral legitimacy, especially because political power has remained largely within the ruling party, CCM. The purpose of this study is to examine how political stability and electoral legitimacy coexist in Tanzania’s dominant-party electoral system. This study uses a qualitative case-study design. It relies on documentary review of academic literature, electoral reports, legal documents, observer reports, and institutional materials related to Tanzania’s multiparty elections. The analysis focuses on political stability, electoral legitimacy, dominant-party continuity, institutional credibility, campaign finance, media access, and Zanzibar’s electoral crisis. The study treats NEC, ZEC, electoral events, and legitimacy claims as the main units of analysis. The principal result shows that Tanzania has achieved political stability through regular elections and peaceful succession, but electoral legitimacy remains contested due to limited inter-party alternation, institutional dependence, unequal competition, and the 2015 Zanzibar annulment. The study concludes that political stability should not be equated with democratic consolidation when electoral institutions and competition remain contested. Its contribution lies in clarifying the distinction between peaceful succession, intra-party turnover, inter-party alternation, and electoral legitimacy in dominant-party electoral systems.

Abstract

Corruption weakens the political and institutional foundations through which states organize, control, and deploy military power. In extra-state wars, the conventional states often possess material advantages that do not automatically translate into effective military performance. This study aims to examine how political-military corruption shapes state performance in extra-state wars through the lens of security governance. The study uses a quantitative explanatory design based on historical conflict and governance datasets. The main unit of analysis is the state-war observation in extra-state wars recorded by the Correlates of War dataset. Corruption is measured through political corruption and regime corruption indicators, while military performance is examined through war outcomes, loss exchange ratios, and war duration. The analysis uses logistic regression for war outcomes and ordinary least squares regression for logged loss ratios and logged war duration. The principal findings show that corruption is more clearly associated with defeat and higher relative losses than with conflict duration. The study concludes that corruption weakens military performance by damaging the governance mechanisms that convert material resources into effective military action. This article contributes to political science by linking corruption, security governance, state capacity, and civil-military control to the study of military performance.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of deliberation in Kasepuhan Gelar Alam indigenous community as a culturally embedded form of deliberative democracy in Indonesia. While indigenous governance is often characterized by hierarchical or hereditary authority structures, this article addresses the apparent tension between monarchical leadership and participatory decision-making processes. Drawing on the theoretical framework of deliberative democracy, this research aims to analyze how deliberative practices are institutionalized and negotiated within a customary political system. The research method used a descriptive qualitative research method. The data collection was done through interviews and documentation. The results show that deliberation is institutionalized through forum such as sarasehan and ritual processes surrounding Seren Taun. The study argues that deliberative democracy in Kasepuhan Gelar Alam operates in a contextualized form, where hierarchy and deliberation coexist and mutually shape one another. Rather than conforming to liberal-democratic assumptions of inclusivity and equality, deliberation is embedded within customary institutions that regulate participation and legitimize outcomes. This finding contributes to literature by demonstrating that deliberative democracy is not a uniform model, but a context-dependent practice shaped by cultural norms and power relations.

Abstract

This study examines the political economy of coastal governance in Bali, focusing on the tension between national Special Economic Zone (SEZ) policies and local community rights. Following the establishment of the Sanur and Kura-Kura SEZs, Bali’s southern coast has undergone rapid state-led transformation. Drawing on the frameworks of environmental politics and the coastal commons, this qualitative case study investigates how centralized development strategies affect local participation and spatial access. Primary data were collected between May and November 2024 through desk research and semi-structured interviews (N=10) with government officials, private-sector developers, and civil society organizations. The findings reveal that local participation is not merely suboptimal but structurally marginalized. In the Kura-Kura SEZ, governance takes the form of spatial enclosure, with corporate identity card systems restricting traditional fishermen's access to the coastal commons. In Sanur, the rapid displacement of coastal traders demonstrates institutional co-optation, using local village elites as intermediaries to enforce compliance and neutralize resistance. Ultimately, this article contributes to environmental political science by conceptualizing SEZs as exclusionary political arenas rather than purely administrative spaces. To prevent further marginalization, the study recommends legally embedding traditional (Adat) representation on SEZ supervisory boards and decentralizing environmental oversight to ensure inclusive and sustainable coastal governance.

Abstract

The barriers in expressing political missions for women politicians are due to the dominance of patriarchal structures. This article aims to discuss the dialectic of political expressionism of Banten women politicians amidst the paradox of patriarchy in the organization of political parties and their existence in parliament. Political expressionism is a perspective that attempts to describe the expression of political attitudes and ideas that tend to be emotional and reflective. Therefore, the political expressionism of women politicians is an expression of sentimental political attitudes and ideas of women politicians due to the mental pressure of double burdens, gender discrimination and symbolic violence. A qualitative approach with a transcendental phenomenological is used to explain the "common meaning of their lived experience" of 12 women politicians (Party chairpersons, members of the provincial and district/city DPRD, and legislative candidates who failed to be elected). We use coding analysis of Creswell’s phenomenology specifically epoche, significant statement, meaning unit, textural and structural description.  The findings of this research are: First, women politicians are able to provide new meanings and values in political dynamics based on the manifestation of their political expressionism. The focus of the political expression of women politicians in Banten are four forms, namely resistence, conformity, existence, dan subservience; Second, the models of patriarchal paradox that makes women subordination, violence and double burdens (face the dilemma of dual identity in the public and domestic spheres), are successfully negotiated by the struggle of women politicians through authentic communication and expression strategies that increase the legitimacy of the role of women politicians. This research contributes to the development of political science through the combination with the discipline of art "expressionism" and a gender perspective in dissecting the power relations between the existence of women politicians and the discourse of the patriarchal paradox.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze how political communication practices carried out by the General Election Commission (KPU), regional head candidates, and the mass media contribute to fulfilling the public's right to electoral information in the context of local democracy in Bali. Using a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design, this study combines data from in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and digital content analysis to examine the relationship between transparency, political communication, and public participation in the 2024 Bali Regional Elections. The results show that the Bali KPU has made efforts to fulfill the principle of the right to information through the provision of digital channels, the publication of electoral data, and cooperation with local media. However, the communication patterns that have been established are still one-way and lack deliberation. Meanwhile, candidates' political communication strategies are dominated by image-based and symbolic politics approaches that emphasize image and emotional slogans over policy program substance, creating information asymmetry between candidates and voters. Local media and digital spaces also do not fully serve as vehicles for political education, but rather as arenas for electoral promotion. This study confirms the gap between formal and substantive transparency in local political communication practices. Therefore, the fulfillment of the public's right to electoral information needs to be realized through more educational, participatory, and interactive political communication. This study contributes to the development of academic discourse on information politics and public accountability and provides practical implications for strengthening transparent and integrity-based local democracy
