Abstract

Despite legislative gender quotas, women remain underrepresented in politics. While institutional barriers are well-documented, the impact of local gender norms on quota success remains under-researched. This qualitative case study investigates how local norms affect female political representation in Bengkulu, Indonesia, where a 30% candidate quota is mandated. Through in-depth interviews with first-time female candidates, party leaders, and political observers, alongside documentary analysis, the study shows that quotas open formal electoral pathways but fail to dismantle deep-seated patriarchal structures. Politics is still viewed as a masculine domain, and party practices continue to marginalize women, who must constantly balance campaigning with traditional societal expectations. Nonetheless, running for office empowers women by boosting self-confidence, expanding networks, and fostering leadership ambitions. Ultimately, the study argues that local gender norms actively mediate the success of formal quotas. To achieve true political equality, interventions must target both formal electoral rules and the cultural norms governing political authority.

Abstract

The article aims to examine the resilience and counter-hegemonic agency of women in Ambon, Indonesia, where communal violence continues to influence their power structures, exclusion, and survival following the conflict there. This study reveals how Ambonese women actively negotiate spaces of agency through strategies that challenge, subvert, and reframe patriarchal and sectarian discourses, while dominant narratives often depict women as passive victims of war or marginalizes in peacebuilding. By combining qualitative descriptive methods and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research reveals how women transform silence into resistance and vulnerability into resilience through in-depth interviews, life histories, and community observations. In this way, the article links these practices to the theoretical framework of Islamic feminism and Foucault's notion of discourse and power, suggesting that women's agency is not merely a matter of opposition; it involves intricate discussions with cultural, religious, and political structures. Studies indicate that women's efforts, which include grassroots peace activism and reinterpretations of piety and modesty, are counter-hegemonic practices that redefine gendered power relations in post-conflict societies. The inclusion of women's voices as central to sustainable peacebuilding ties the research to further discussions on feminist agency, post-conflict reconstruction, and the politics of resilience.

Abstract

Waste-sorting policies require not only public participation but also effective communication and implementation support. This study examines public discourse surrounding Jakarta's waste-sorting policy through 413 YouTube commentsby integratingIndoBERTand SentiStrength for sentiment analysis, Liu's framework for opinion-expression analysis, LDA for topic modeling, and human annotation for model validation.Negative sentiment dominated the discourse, with IndoBERT classifying 62.0%of comments as negative and demonstrating stronger agreement with human coders than SentiStrength. Most opinions were expressed through regular-direct structures and explicit expressions. LDA identified three major discussion topics: Waste Sorting Infrastructure and Collection Practices (37.8%), Government Performance and Policy Accountability (36.1%), and Waste Disposal Behavior and Environmental Awareness(26.2%). Negative sentiment was concentrated in discussions of infrastructure and collection practices (65.4%) and government performance and accountability (63.8%). By integrating transformer-based and lexicon-based sentiment analysis with opinion-expression analysis, topic modeling, and human validation, this study provides a more comprehensive understanding of public discourse than sentiment analysis alone.The findings indicate that negative sentiment reflects not only opposition to waste sorting but also concerns about institutional and operational barriers, highlighting the need for two-way policy communication that addresses citizens' feedback and implementation challenges.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital media has fundamentally transformed how young people access, interpret, and evaluate political information, thereby reshaping the determinants of voter loyalty within contemporary digital democracies. This study aims to examine the effects of trust in political parties and party image on young voter loyalty while investigating the moderating role of digital literacy among the community of Renon Traditional Village, South Denpasar District, Bali, Indonesia. A quantitative research design was employed using an online survey administered to 370 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with JASP software. The findings reveal that both trust in political parties and party image have positive and significant effects on young voter loyalty, with party image emerging as the strongest predictor. Furthermore, digital literacy significantly strengthens the relationships between trust in political parties and young voter loyalty as well as between party image and young voter loyalty. These findings suggest that voter loyalty in the digital era is determined not only by the quality of political party representation but also by voters' ability to critically evaluate political information. This study contributes to the voter behavior literature by demonstrating the strategic role of digital literacy as a moderating mechanism that reinforces the influence of trust in political parties and party image on young voter loyalty within the context of contemporary digital democracy.
