Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor sumber daya dan kinerja dalam menopang kemenangan incumbent dan untuk mengetahui pergeseran meningkatnya kedudukan incumbent yang digunakan selama tiga periode dalam pemilihan kepala desa di Desa Bulutengger Kecamatan Sekaran Kabupaten Lamongan. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Landasan teori yang digunakan dalam menganalisis penelitian adalah teori yang dikemukakan oleh Jonathan Katz dan Gary Cox mengenai faktor sumber daya dan kinerja sebagai penyebab meningkatnya kedudukan incumbent. Faktor sumber daya berasal dari hubungan personal melalui sumber daya ekonomi, jaringan sosial, jaringan keagamaan, dan politik patronase. Sedangkan kinerja berasal dari pengalaman selama memimpin desa sehingga incumbent dinilai kompeten dalam menjalankan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya. Berdasarkan data di lapangan, kehadiran incumbent sebagai pemimpin sempat terusik oleh kandidat penantang, sehingga beredar berita hoax yang ditujukan kepala kepala desa incumbent menjelang kontestasi pada periode ketiga, namun hal tersebut tidak memberikan pengaruh besar atas perolehan suara karena kepala desa incumbent menang mutlak pada pemilihan kepala desa.

Abstract

Facebook has become a pivotal platform for political propagandists, offering a medium for political participation and conversation. This study addresses concerns about Facebook’s influence on public opinion in Bangladesh, particularly in the lead-up to the 2024 general election. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study involved 307 participants across five parliamentary constituencies and conducted interviews with seven individuals to examine the relationships between Facebook usage, interactions with political actors, and exposure to political content. Findings reveal that Facebook significantly impacts public opinion, fostering political participation and discussions. However, responses to political content often involve emotional and spontaneous reactions rather than informed and rational debate.

Abstract

Protestantism is often exemplified as a religion for metropolitans; however, gaining prominence among upland dwellers in peripheral areas like remote borderlands when it was introduced to Vietnam. Generally, such peripheral areas caused less concern for the State of Vietnam in peaceful times and held little significance in the national development as well as in the national religious and cultural landscape. Nevertheless, the emergence of Protestantism there led to a series of relevant issues that seemed to forcefully compel the State’s concern. The article attempts to provide a map of the Protestant expansion in the Vietnamese peripheral borderlands over time, focusing on the period from the 1990s onward. It then emphasizes certain challenges that the pervasiveness of Protestantism in the peripheral areas may have posed to the State of Vietnam during the process of renovating society. The research further argues that the involvement of Protestant-related factors in cultural, economic, and political realms in the peripheral borderlands in Vietnam could be a point for geopolitical forces to exploit and foster the rise of peripheral nationalism there, which in turn would become greater testing to the nation-state’s efforts in keeping total control over its territory and society.

Abstract

Strengthened security architecture of any nation is dependent on the ability to ensure safe and well-defined borders. Border security is central to national security as the first line of defence against threats. In Nigeria, borders are sources of the unending insecurity, being one of the most porous in Africa. Thus, the study, descriptive in nature, examined border security and herdsmen terrorism in northern Nigeria. It adopted securitisation theory as its theoretical framework and relied heavily on secondary data. The study argued that Nigeria’s borders are susceptible to criminal infiltration due to poor management. This had heightened ruthless killings and destruction of properties by herdsmen in northern Nigeria. The borders, demarcated by expired tires, blocks, and sticks, are manned by unqualified, inadequately equipped, and corrupt personnel and allow herdsmen terrorists to constantly enjoy free movement into the nation, becoming a threat to security, peace, and stability. The study concluded that if Nigeria’s borders are not securitised as a high priority, state authority will be weakened and sovereignty will wane continuously. The study therefore recommended that borders should be properly policed with adequate provisions for advanced surveillance technology installed at all border areas, and international cooperation should be encouraged in the fight against herdsmen terrorism.

Abstract

Pemilu merupakan ciri utama negara demokratis sebagai mekanisme legal untuk mengisi jabatan politik berdasarkan pilihan rakyat. Dalam pelaksanaannya, kredibilitas lembaga penyelenggara pemilu sangat bergantung pada pengelolaan data yang akurat dan transparan. Penelitian ini membahas pemanfaatan Rumah Data yang diinisiasi Bawaslu Provinsi Jawa Timur sebagai instrumen pendukung pengawasan pemilu, dengan fokus pada Bawaslu Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh minimnya kajian mengenai Rumah Data sebagai inovasi lokal, berbeda dari penelitian sebelumnya yang lebih menyoroti aplikasi Siwaslu buatan Bawaslu RI. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, dokumentasi, dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Rumah Data berperan strategis dalam meningkatkan transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan efektivitas pengawasan pemilu. Studi ini merekomendasikan penguatan kapasitas SDM dan digitalisasi sistem untuk optimalisasi Rumah Data di masa mendatang.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of nationalization policy in Tanzania during the early post-independence years using a theory of neopatrimonialism. Building on Bratton and van de Walle’s identification of presidentialism, clientelism, and the particularistic use of state resources as hallmarks of neo-patrimonial governance, this study explores how these characteristics shaped the industrial policy during the “socialist Tanzania”. By focusing on the period between 1967 and 1985, the study traces the early industry boom from 1961 to 1968 and the subsequent de-industrialization period. I argue that the concentration of power in the presidency of Julius Nyerere and his State Party resulted in inefficiencies within the nationalized industrial sector. The study highlights that the nationalization policy produced an oversized, poorly adapted industrial base that failed to align with Tanzania’s resource and skills environment. Ultimately, this governance structure contributed to the crisis of the 1970s. The findings suggest that while nationalization initially promised rapid industrial transformation, it was undermined by neopatrimonial tendencies, prompting a later shift to market-oriented reforms. The study contributes to broader debates on state-building, industrial policy, and the legacies of postcolonial governance in Africa.
