Abstract

Internal policy is an important indicator in assessing the maturity level of the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System. In the city of Pariaman, efforts are also being made to improve the index level of the SPBE assessment by evaluating the internal policy domain, with the expectation of detecting how policies are well prepared and how these policies can serve as guidelines for the governance of SPBE in the City of Pariaman. Using Edward Suchman's evaluation theory, which consists of 6 evaluation stages: policy objectives, problem analysis, activity standardization, gap analysis, change determinants, and impact indicators. The research method is descriptive qualitative, taking samples from the most relevant informants (purposive sampling). The research results indicate that several important policies related to the architecture and roadmap of the SPBE in the City of Pariaman have not yet been prepared due to the recent formation of the coordination team. Human resources need to be improved through recruitment and by enhancing the competencies of existing staff. Furthermore, the government needs to respond promptly to the latest regulations from the central government as well as the rapidly evolving latest technology and information developments.

Abstract

This article explores the evolution of Indonesia's electoral system reforms since the restoration of democracy in 1998 and examines how these reforms have influenced Indonesian democracy through successive elections. To this end, the paper addresses two key inquiries: first, it identifies the primary stakeholders crucial for initiating and conducting the reform process; second, it outlines the objectives of these stakeholders in pursuing electoral reform. The findings suggest that the motivations of political elites are largely driven by a need to preserve and protect their own interests. This article aims to contribute to the discourse on electoral reform in Indonesia and its implications for the future trajectory of Indonesian democracy.

Abstract

Focusing on the Digital Silk Road (DSR) initiative, this study analyzes the China's ambition through DSR and its impact to Indonesia, particularly in developing digital connectivity in Indonesia. DSR is often viewed as China's strategy to expand geopolitical influence and strengthen its authoritarian governance model through collaboration in the digital field. This study uses the theory of cooperation and cyber diplomacy as an analytical framework to understand the dynamics of this bilateral relationship. Through this theoretical lens, it will examine how China, with its ambition to become a "cyber superpower", manifests its aggressiveness in digital cooperation with Indonesia. This study will identify emerging patterns of cooperation, including digital infrastructure investment, technology transfer, and cyber capacity building. In addition, it will analyze various challenges in developing digital connectivity in Indonesia, such as issues of cybersecurity, data privacy, technological dependency, and potential impacts on digital sovereignty. Thus, this research offers an initial insight into the complexities and implications of China-Indonesia cooperation in the context of DSR, and how it shapes Indonesia's digital landscape.

Abstract

Women's political representation in local elections (PILKADA) indicates the quality of democracy and the level of gender equality in political institutions. Although gender quotas have increased the number of female candidates, their substantive representation remains low. This study aims to analyze how gendered political institutions influence a qualitative approach based on secondary data research and thematic analysis. Additionally, it examines the elements of gender-focused institutions identified by Joan Acker, which include division of labor, division of power, symbols and discourses, interpersonal relations, and internal mental work. The results prove that structural and cultural challenges still limit women's participation in the electoral political arena. (1) Division of labor, women tend to be pushed into non-strategic campaign roles, strengthening traditional role stereotypes, (2) division of power, women's access to decision-making is limited due to the dominance of male political elites and political dynasties; (3) symbols and discourses, campaign narratives and public representation are still gender-biased, limited to considering women's existence as supporters not leaders; (4) interpersonal relations, informal political networks are masculine and exclusive, marginalizing women from power networks and (5) internal mental work, that social norms and internal expectations create hesitation for women to show themselves as major political actors. Based on these results above, this research can strengthen the understanding that increasing women's representationin quantity is not enough without being accompanied by institutional transformation and political culture. In addition, this study also emphasizes that there needs to be a comprehensive reform of political design and practice to be more inclusive of women's leadership.

Abstract

This study analyzes the political strategy of Tibrani, a non-elite cadre of the National Awakening Party (PKB), in winning the 2024 Legislative Election in Tengah Ilir Subdistrict, Tebo Regency, Jambi Province. The case contests the notion that economic capital and elite status alone determine political victory. Using a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design and an explanatory method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. Findings reveal that Tibrani succeeded by engineering social capital, orchestrating social networks, and building a participatory ecosystem. His political communication emphasized narrative, multichannel messaging, and collective identity. The study concludes that non-elite actors can succeed electorally through participatory strategies and community-based approaches. This research contributes to the discourse on alternative political strategies in local democracy.

Abstract

The Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) is a subregional cooperation initiative established in 1993 by the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, aiming to accelerate economic transformation in less-developed provinces. IMT-GT meetings serve as a key building block for cooperation within ASEAN. Jambi Province, one of the 10 Indonesian provinces included in the IMT-GT program, is expected to benefit from the implementation of this initiative. The IMT-GT Blueprint for 2022-2026, which serves as the framework for subregional cooperation over the next five years, was finalized in 2022. Indonesia has outlined five main strategies for this blueprint: (1) economic corridor approach and regional integration, (2) promoting private sector participation, (3) supporting inclusive growth, (4) adopting green, blue, and circular economic  developments, and (5) institutional adjustments across sectors. Jambi Province has developed a designated area known as Sentusa (Sengeti, Tungkal, Sabak) to support the implementation of these strategies. This study focuses on the strategies employed by the provincial government of   Jambi to implement the IMT-GT framework. This research uses an exploratory descriptive method, gathering data from primary informants and secondary literature sources.

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine how the Population Control and Family Planning Policy is implemented by the Office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning in Banda Aceh City. The research applies a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings show both supporting and inhibiting factors in policy implementation, including resources, communication, and organizational structure.The research focuses on three main questions: how the policy is implemented, what supporting and inhibiting factors exist, and what strategies can be applied to improve its implementation. A qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews using an interview guide. Informants included institutional leaders, family planning field officers, and other relevant stakeholders. Data were analyzed by categorizing responses, classifying findings, and reviewing interview transcripts and audio recordings based on source and date. The findings reveal that policy implementation is influenced by four key aspects: communication, which ensures clarity of program delivery, methods, objectives, and target groups; resources, including adequate personnel, facilities, and infrastructure; disposition or attitude, reflected in motivation, commitment, and the use of rewards and punishments; and organizational structure, supported by technical guidelines, regulations, and implementation manuals. Supporting factors include sufficient facilities, competent human resources, and clear regulations, while constraints are primarily limited budgets and the lack of competence among some implementers. Strategies to strengthen policy implementation involve continuous socialization, expanding outreach to various partners, and collaborative approaches with religious, traditional, and community leaders. This study highlights the importance of synergy between communication, resources, attitudes, and organizational structures in ensuring the success of population control and family planning programs in Banda Aceh City.

Abstract

Recurring issues surrounding the permanent voter list (DPT) in general and local elections in Indonesia reflect systemic weaknesses in election governance. This study aims to map the polarization of issues related to the DPT and analyze their impact on public administration. A qualitative literature review was conducted on 47 selected journal articles obtained through Google Scholar as the main entry point due to its accessibility and broad coverage. Various types of sources, including journal articles, theses, reports, and preprints, were used, enabling researchers to capture a more diverse literature landscape, especially in local or regional contexts where publications are not always indexed in paid databases; the ease of initial filtering also meant faster results when searching for specific keywords, allowing researchers to compile an initial list of relevant articles for further screening; and the diversity of languages and sources enabled the discovery of Indonesian or regional works that are often underrepresented in international paid databases, making them relevant for local studies on DPT and governance. The findings show that Voter List issues can be categorized into three types of polarization: structural versus cultural, technological versus manual, and centralization versus decentralization. These issues lead to reduced electoral legitimacy, budget inefficiency, and declining public trust. In conclusion, voter list issues are not merely administrative problems but also serious threats to the quality of democracy and effective governance. Comprehensive reforms involving strengthened regulations, institutional capacity building, and technological optimization are urgently needed to enhance the integrity of voter data in future elections.

Abstract

Research shows that the process of verifying the candidacy of DPD members in Riau Province through the SILON application effectively improves the efficiency of election administration. However, in reality, a number of problems have arisen that need attention. One of the main problems identified as evidence from the research is disruption to access to the SILON server, which causes delays in document verification and confirmation of registrant status, so that the verification process does not run smoothly according to the set schedule. Additionally, the lack of understanding and skills in using SILON among human resources within the Riau Provincial Election Commission (KPU) also acts as a barrier, as both technical and non-technical obstacles affect the accuracy and speed of data input and document verification. These findings indicate that while SILON technology can enhance administrative efficiency, the need for improvements in technological infrastructure and user capacity is crucial to optimizing SILON's role as a digital democracy tool. The implications of these findings emphasize the need for improved technical infrastructure, efforts to restore and maintain more stable server access, and ongoing training programs for human resources to ensure that candidate verification can be conducted accurately, on time, and responsively to the dynamics of the election.
