Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe the political marketing used by the Pramono-Rano candidate pair in the 2024 Jakarta Provincial Election. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory research design. Data collection techniques in this study include interviews, observation, documentation, and audio-visual. The analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. This study shows that Pramono-Rano's victory in the 2024 Jakarta Provincial Election was not solely determined by the strength of the political coalition, but rather by accurately reading the needs and characteristics of Jakarta voters. This pair was able to develop a campaign approach relevant to the diverse social conditions of urban communities. The campaign was not conducted in an elitist manner, but rather built through close, open, and easy-to-understand communication. This made Pramono-Rano's political message widely accepted by various levels of society. In addition, digital media was used to reach young voters and strengthen the candidate's visibility, while third-party support, such as influencers, helped build public trust. On the other hand, direct interactions such as impromptu visits and regional visits strengthened the emotional closeness between candidates and voters. This combination of strategies made the campaign feel more lively and less distant.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze in depth the public service innovation process through the SIPINTER (Integrated Service Information System) application developed by the Cimahi City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP). The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The analytical tool used refers to the perspective of co-creation-based public sector innovation, with a focus on four main dimensions: real-time data accuracy, public participation, governance transparency, and legitimacy. The results show that SIPINTER has contributed significantly to increasing the efficiency and transparency of licensing services through the provision of real-time data and openness of service process information. However, public participation is still instrumental and has not fully developed into deliberative participation, while the legitimacy of innovation is highly dependent on system reliability, human resource capacity, and consistent institutional support. This study confirms that the success of digital public service transformation is determined not only by technological aspects, but also by institutional and relational factors that shape public trust. Theoretically, this research enriches the study of public sector innovation by offering an understanding of conditional co-creation in the context of local government in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the role of policy networks in supporting public service innovation through a study of the Joint Program for Assistance to MSMEs to Obtain Distribution Permits (BERPENDAR) implemented by the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) in Yogyakarta. The study used a qualitative approach supported by descriptive quantitative data through a single case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 key informants, a survey of 66 MSMEs participating in BERPENDAR, document studies, and network structure mapping using Social Network Analysis (SNA). The analysis was conducted using Frans van Waarden's seven-dimensional policy network framework. The results show that the effectiveness of BERPENDAR is not solely determined by formal regulatory design, but rather by the configuration of the policy network that works adaptively and collaboratively. The SNA findings emphasize the Center's central role in coordinating regional government actors, academics, the private sector, facilitators, and MSMEs. In terms of outcomes, BERPENDAR contributes to accelerating the issuance of distribution permits, increasing MSME satisfaction with services, and strengthening business actors' confidence in accessing wider markets.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Climate Village Program policy in Bandung City using the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation theoretical framework. Bandung City was chosen as the research location because of its characteristics as a metropolitan city with complex environmental problems, such as traffic congestion, seasonal flooding, and increased emissions from urban activities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The analysis focused on six policy implementation variables, namely policy standards and objectives, resource availability, inter-organizational communication, implementing agent characteristics, social, economic, and political conditions, and the disposition of policy implementers. The results show that the implementation of ProKLim in Bandung City has been ongoing, but not optimally. The main obstacles include limited resources, differences in implementers' understanding of the ProKLim concept, weak cross-sectoral coordination, and unequal community participation. This research is expected to provide theoretical contributions in the development of studies on the implementation of public policies in the environmental sector as well as practical recommendations for local governments in increasing the effectiveness of the Climate Village Program as part of sustainable climate change mitigation efforts.

Abstract

Identity politics remains a defining feature of local democratic practices in Indonesia, particularly in regions where cultural and religious norms strongly shape political behavior. This study examines how the Adat Basandi Syara’ philosophy functions as a normative foundation for political representation among Minangkabau and Malay communities. It aims to critically analyze the ways in which shared adat–Islamic values influence patterns of local political representation and democratic legitimacy. Using a qualitative comparative approach, this study draws on secondary data from scholarly publications, official documents, and media reports related to local politics in West Sumatra and Malay regions. The findings indicate that Adat Basandi Syara’ is frequently mobilized as a symbolic resource to legitimize political authority; however, its interpretation is often selectively shaped by political elites. Rather than fostering substantive representation, such identity-based narratives tend to reinforce symbolic inclusion and elite domination. This study contributes to debates on Indonesian democracy by demonstrating that culturally rooted identity politics may simultaneously promote social cohesion and reproduce political exclusion within plural democratic settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe the institutionalization of the United Development Party (PPP) in the 2024 general election. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the researcher as the research instrument. Data collection techniques used in this study include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data sources in this study include primary and secondary data. Meanwhile, data analysis techniques used in this study include data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results of the study indicate that the failure of the United Development Party (PPP) in the 2024 General Election is a consequence of weak party institutionalization, which is reflected in four main dimensions: the degree of systemicity, value identity, party autonomy, and public image. Weak organizational consolidation, poorly managed leadership changes, suboptimal cadre development, and dysfunctional central-regional coordination indicate low internal party stability. On the other hand, the challenge of maintaining the relevance of Islamic ideology amidst increasingly pragmatic changes in voter behavior results in a decline in electoral appeal. Limited autonomy in strategic decision-making, especially in determining national political stances, further weakens the party's position before constituents.

Abstract

This paper introduces the paradigm of necro-ecological politics as a critical expansion of Achille Mbembe’s necropolitics into the ecological domain. While traditional biopolitics focuses on the regulation of life, this study contends that contemporary sovereignty in the Global South increasingly operates through the administration of death—manifesting as “sacrifice zones”, “slow violence”, and “ecological deathworlds”. By synthesizing political theory, decolonial ecology, and environmental jurisprudence, the research argues that ecological destruction is not a neutral byproduct of development but a systematically engineered apparatus of power that disproportionately exposes marginalized populations to lethal environmental risks. The analysis reveals that modern environmental law often serves as a pillar of this necro-ecological regime, legitimizing extractivism and the “desexualization of living spaces” through technocratic frameworks. However, within these landscapes of organized demise, practices of “re-worlding”—including land rematriation, community agroecology, and embodied environmentalism—emerge as vital sites of resistance. Ultimately, necro-ecological politics offers both a diagnostic tool to unveil colonial-capitalist exploitation and a normative framework to envision a transformational “planetary justice”. It calls for an ontological shift in sovereignty that recognizes the interconnectedness of human and non-human life, asserting a moral and legal imperative to rehabilitate a damaged planet for future generations.

Abstract

Bakar Batu tradition in the Papua Highlands was originally a cultural practice representing social solidarity, togetherness, and customary reconciliation. However, over time, this tradition has been transformed into a medium for political communication and electoral mobilization. This phenomenon shows that Bakar Batu not only serves as a social identity but also shapes the political behavior of indigenous communities. This study aims to analyze the influence of the Bakar Batu tradition on voting behaviors in political contests in Jayawijaya Regency. The study used a quantitative, explanatory research design. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method in SmartPLS. The results show that the Bakar Batu tradition has a positive and significant influence on people's voting behaviors, with an original sample value of 0.615, a T-statistic of 10.803, and a P-value of 0.000. In addition, the R-square value of 0.378 indicates that the Bakar Batu tradition has a fairly strong contribution in explaining people's voting behavior. This finding confirms that local culture plays a strategic role in the dynamics of local democracy in Papua by strengthening social legitimacy, communal solidarity, and emotional closeness between political elites and the indigenous community (voters).

Abstract

Political governance has become a strategic issue in contemporary governance studies, in light of political transformation, the digitalisation of government, challenges to democracy, and growing demands for transparency and public accountability. However, the literature on political governance remains fragmented across themes such as collaborative governance, digital governance, sustainability governance, political economy, and public policy. This study aims to map the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, research trends, and future research directions through a hybrid approach combining a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis. The study utilises the PRISMA framework and bibliometric analysis based on Scopus data with the aid of VOSviewer. The analysis focuses on publication trends, co-occurring keywords, collaboration networks, influential authors, and dominant thematic clusters. The results indicate that research on political governance has shifted from traditional public administration towards a more collaborative, participatory, digital, and sustainability-oriented form of governance. The dominant themes include governance approaches, democracy, political economy, policy-making, local government, transparency, and digital governance. The bibliometric mapping also reveals links between governance and AI, public health, decentralisation, and global governance. Furthermore, this study identifies significant gaps regarding algorithmic governance, AI ethics, cybersecurity, and the integration of sustainability into modern governance. This research contributes to mapping the intellectual structure and direction of development in political governance whilst providing theoretical and practical implications for the development of governance in an increasingly complex global era.

Abstract

This study examines the development, thematic structure, and intellectual configuration of democracy, governance, and citizenship research in Indonesian political studies. Using bibliometric analysis, this article analyzes 637 Scopus-indexed journal and review articles related to Indonesia and major political themes such as democracy, governance, citizenship, decentralization, electoral politics, identity politics, digital politics, and political economy. The study combines performance analysis and science mapping, with keyword co-occurrence analysis conducted using VOSviewer. The findings show that Indonesian political studies have developed into a multidimensional field structured by interconnected debates on democratic transformation, governance reform, citizenship participation, local politics, electoral competition, digital transformation, identity, and informal political economy. The bibliometric mapping identifies Indonesia as the central contextual anchor of the literature, while governance, decentralization, citizenship, and electoral politics emerge as major thematic concentrations. Digital politics, identity politics, and political economy appear as more specialized but analytically important areas. This study contributes to Indonesian political scholarship by providing a systematic and replicable mapping of its conceptual linkages and thematic concentrations, while demonstrating the value of bibliometric methods for evaluating the development of political science research in a national context.
