Abstract

This study aims to identify how social media mechanism X affects the political participation of gen Z during the 2024 elections and how a model can be built to explain this mechanism. Survey method was used by distributing questionnaires with convenience sampling method which resulted in 446 samples. The research framework shows the mediating role of political knowledge, bridging social capital, self-efficacy, and outcome expectation between the use of social media X and gen Z political participation. Model fit was determined using Lisrel 8.50 software, while direct and mediation hypotheses were tested using SmartPLS 3 software. 5 out of 8 direct hypotheses showed significance. On the other hand, 3 out of 5 path analyses were accepted. As a result, the use of social media X has a positive influence on gen Z's political participation with the mediation of bridging social capital, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations.

Abstract

The February 2021 coup d’état in Myanmar, led by Min Aung Hlaing, abruptly ended the country’s brief period of democratization. The coup has sparked the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), marking the largest civil resistance movement in Myanmar’s history. Using Schiff’s (2008) concordance theory, this study analyzes how Myanmar’s persistent failure to achieve civil-military concordance has fostered fundamentally asymmetrical civil-military relations, ultimately facilitating the reemergence of military rule in 2021. Critics of the coup highlighted the rooted influence of khaki capital, a long-standing strategy through which the military generates and monopolizes economic opportunities, thereby reinforcing its hegemony following the coup. Additionally, the evolution in the military’s economic participation, ranging from institutional privileges to individualized benefits, has further solidified its economic dominance. Utilizing a qualitative approach grounded on extensive literature reviews, this study explores the complex interplay between Myanmar’s political discordance and the military’s deeply rooted economic interests. These interconnected factors sustain a vicious cycle of military authoritarianism and khaki capital, demonstrating remarkable resilience to change.

Abstract

This study explores how Gen-Z voters in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, process and respond to political hoaxes during the 2024 presidential election. Using qualitative exploratory methods, data from 323 respondents in Makassar and Parepare were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, and online questionnaires. The analysis, guided by the Elaboration Likelihood Model and Reception Theory, reveals that while Gen-Z voters generally exhibit rational affirmative behaviors, their responses to political hoaxes are shaped by political bias and motivations. Notably, 87% of respondents admitted to sharing misinformation about opposing politicians, while 46% were likely to dismiss hoaxes targeting candidates they support. This selective processing of political information highlights the critical need for digital literacy initiatives to equip Gen-Z with skills for critically assessing information. Strengthening digital literacy can empower this generation to make informed decisions, thereby fostering a transparent, inclusive, and resilient democratic process. The study underscores the importance of education in reducing Gen-Z's vulnerability to misinformation and calls for targeted programs to address confirmation bias. Future research should expand on these findings by examining rural Gen-Z voters to gain a broader understanding of voter behavior across diverse demographics in Indonesia.

Abstract

Politics is a main pillar in national life, but political practices in Indonesia often deviate from public orientation and favor the interests of the oligarchy. This condition reveals a gap between the political ideal as a means of serving the people and the political reality, which tends to be pragmatic and manipulative. This research fills a gap in the study connecting classical Western political criticism with ethical values in the Hindu tradition. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach through a study of the texts Ramayana, Mahabharata, Arthasastra, Nitisastra, and Negarakertagama, as well as Plato's thoughts on the vulnerability of democracy to oligarchy. The research results show that politics in the Hindu paradigm emphasizes service (sevanam), while Plato's criticism reflects the dangers of oligarchy in democracy. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of these two perspectives to offer a more ethical reflective framework for understanding and correcting the dynamics of contemporary Indonesian politics.
