Abstract

Political dynasties in Indonesia have significantly influenced the consolidation of democracy, particularly in the context of decentralization. This study examines the formation and impact of political dynasties in three regions of West Java: Banten, Tasikmalaya, and Cirebon, from 2005 to 2024. The research aims to understand how dynastic politics has shaped democratic quality indicators such as electoral competitiveness, institutional accountability, and civil liberties. A qualitative comparative case study approach was employed, combining process tracing and structured focused comparison. Key findings reveal that while political dynasties have systematically reduced electoral competition, they have also led to varying outcomes in democratic consolidation. Banten’s dynastic collapse resulted in democratic recovery, while Cirebon’s consolidating dynasty and Tasikmalaya’s traditional elite system showed differing levels of democratic erosion. The study highlights the role of external accountability mechanisms, particularly national anti-corruption agencies, in curbing dynastic power. It concludes that strengthening local democratic institutions, improving electoral system competitiveness, and fostering civil society are crucial for mitigating the negative effects of political dynasties on democratic consolidation. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between political dynasties and democratic governance in decentralized systems. These findings have critical policy implications for democratic reform initiatives in Indonesia and other decentralized democracies, emphasizing the need for multi-level governance frameworks that balance local autonomy with robust accountability mechanisms.

Abstract

This research investigates the implementation of regional autonomy in the Bandung Metropolitan Area (BMA) from 2019 to 2024, focusing on the challenges and opportunities in governance arising from decentralization. The study examines how decentralization has influenced fiscal management, public service delivery, spatial planning coordination, and inter-governmental relations within BMA, which comprises multiple autonomous local governments. The objectives include analyzing the distribution of authority and fiscal resources, assessing the effectiveness of governance in key sectors, and identifying coordination mechanisms used to address cross-jurisdictional issues. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from government reports with qualitative interviews from key governance actors. The findings reveal significant coordination failures between local governments, particularly in spatial planning and service delivery, with peripheral districts lagging the urban core. These governance pathologies are exacerbated by competing local interests and insufficient coordination frameworks. The research underscores the need for stronger metropolitan-level coordination mechanisms and fiscal equalization to address disparities between districts. Implications for policy development include recommending legal reforms to enhance metropolitan governance, particularly through the establishment of binding coordination bodies. The study contributes to the understanding of decentralization in metropolitan contexts, offering insights for other regions facing similar governance challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the role of religious organizations in shaping electoral dynamics in West Java's regional head elections, particularly focusing on how Islamic organizations, such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, influence voter behavior and political outcomes. Despite the overwhelming Muslim majority in Indonesia, Islamic political parties have seen a consistent decline in electoral support, a phenomenon that this research explores through a case study of West Java a province with significant religious and political importance. The study employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing interviews with key stakeholders and secondary data such as electoral statistics and organizational documents. The research identifies three main mechanisms through which religious organizations engage in electoral politics: resource mobilization, strategic framing, and social network activation. Findings reveal that NU's influence operates through structural mobilization, while Muhammadiyah engages in strategic ambiguity, focusing on individual participation rather than organizational endorsements. The study also finds that religious authority in West Java has declined, with younger voters increasingly making independent electoral choices. The implications of this research highlight the evolving role of religious organizations in Indonesia's electoral politics and suggest the need for political practitioners to understand the complex interplay between religion and politics in a diverse society.

Abstract

This study explores the regional development inequality and political representation in West Java, Indonesia, with a particular focus on the southern regions' marginalization in provincial policymaking. The objective is to investigate how unequal political representation in the provincial legislature affects the allocation of resources, infrastructure development, and overall regional inequality. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews was employed. The quantitative phase involved analyzing secondary data from 27 districts in West Java over the period 2015–2024, covering development indicators such as the Human Development Index (HDI), infrastructure quality, and budget allocation. The qualitative phase focused on in-depth interviews with local officials, legislators, and community leaders to understand the mechanisms of political marginalization. The findings reveal a significant disparity in political representation between southern and northern West Java, with the southern regions holding fewer legislative seats and experiencing lower levels of infrastructure investment and public service allocation. The research suggests that political representation is a key determinant of regional development outcomes, with underrepresented regions facing slower development and exacerbated inequality. The study calls for electoral reforms, equitable budget allocation mechanisms, and the creation of independent regional monitoring bodies to address these disparities and promote more inclusive development

Abstract

Background: The era of President Prabowo Subianto’s administration has witnessed the resurgence of military involvement in civilian governance, challenging the principles of civil supremacy established after the 1998 reforms. The placement of active military officers in strategic civilian positions raises fundamental questions about constitutional boundaries and democratic governance in Indonesia. Objective: This study examines the legitimacy and constitutional implications of militarization in civilian government functions against the principles of civil supremacy and constitutional democracy as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Method: A normative juridical and political law approach is employed, utilizing statutory analysis, conceptual frameworks, and historical examination to assess the legal and political dimensions of military placement in civilian positions. Findings and Implications : The study reveals that militarization in the Prabowo era constitutes a form of state power reformulation that blurs the boundaries between civilian and military domains, threatening the independence of public accountability mechanisms and the principle of checks and balances. Military involvement in non-defense sectors such as food security, social welfare, and development projects represents an expansion beyond applicable legal norms, creating disharmony between political practices and constitutional design. Conclusion: This research contributes to the discourse on civil-military relations by demonstrating how contemporary militarization practices deviate from reform-era principles. It emphasizes the urgency of strengthening civilian control mechanisms and implementing regulatory reforms to ensure military professionalism while preserving democratic governance and constitutional order.

Abstract

Background: Electoral integrity has emerged as a critical concern in contemporary democratic discourse, particularly amid global democratic backsliding. Indonesia's democratic trajectory shows significant decline, with the 2025 V-Dem report placing it in the 'grey zone', no longer meeting minimum standards of electoral democracy. Public trust in electoral processes fundamentally depends on the organizational governance and neutrality of Election Management Bodies (EMBs).Objective: This study examines how organizational governance and bureaucratic neutrality of election management apparatus influence election quality in Indonesia, employing an integrative framework that connects institutional structures with practical implementation challenges.Method: This qualitative literature review analyzed 32 academic sources from Google Scholar and Scopus databases. Thematic analysis was conducted using a reflexive approach, classifying literature based on institutional structure, bureaucratic behavior, and political interference dynamics.Findings and Implications: The study reveals that election bureaucracy faces structural tensions between procedural rigidity and democratic responsiveness. Bureaucratic politicization, institutional erosion, and inadequate sanction mechanisms significantly compromise electoral integrity. Inter-institutional dynamics between KPU, Bawaslu, and DKPP create coordination challenges that affect election quality.Conclusion: Comprehensive institutional reforms are essential, including restoring independent civil service oversight, strengthening sanction mechanisms, harmonizing fragmented regulations, and enhancing professional capacity of EMBs to restore Indonesia's electoral integrity.

Abstract

Background: General elections constitute a fundamental democratic mechanism through which citizens exercise their right to choose government representatives; however, voter participation in Indonesia remains relatively low, as evidenced by persistently high Golongan Putih (Golput) rates from 2004 to 2024. This condition reflects ongoing public distrust in the electoral system, driven by perceptions of fraud, limited transparency, and dissatisfaction with the performance of elected leaders, which in turn threatens democratic legitimacy and political stability. Objective: This study proposes the adoption of an electronic voting system utilizing smart cards and multi-touchscreen technology as a potential solution to address these challenges. Method: The proposal draws on successful implementations in countries such as India and Brazil, as well as pilot experiences in Jembrana, Bali. Findings and Implications: E-voting is expected to enhance electoral efficiency, transparency, and accuracy while reducing the risks of fraud and human error, provided that robust data security measures are implemented to safeguard system integrity against cyber threats. The implementation of a modern and reliable e-voting system is therefore expected to restore public confidence in the electoral process, expand secure and accessible voting opportunities, and increase voter participation. Conclusion: Ultimately, this would strengthen democratic governance by ensuring that election outcomes more accurately reflect the aspirations and will of the people.
