Abstract

This study analyzes the failure of political strategies used by female candidates from the Golkar Party in the 2024 Sleman Regency DPRD elections, focusing on cultural and structural challenges that impeded their success. The research method employed is a qualitative descriptive literature study, with data collected through primary and secondary sources. This study focuses on new female candidates, particularly those from the Golkar Party, and examines the reasons behind their failure to secure a seat in the legislative body. The findings highlight the ineffectiveness of campaign strategies, such as door-to-door visits and traditional media use, which failed to resonate with female voters' specific concerns. Cultural barriers, including deeply rooted patriarchal norms and a lack of resources such as funding and media access, further limited their campaign impact. This study underscores the need for voter empowerment through political education, particularly for women, to highlight the importance of electing representatives who can effectively address gender-specific issues. In conclusion, this research offers insights into the challenges faced by female candidates and provides recommendations for improving political strategies that promote female political participation and representation

Abstract

The provision of government goods and services plays a strategic role in supporting national development and economic growth. However, in practice, problems such as fraud, inefficiency, and weak policy implementation are still common. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of government policies in the provision of goods and services at the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency of Banggai Regency. The focus of this research is to assess the effectiveness of existing policies and regulations and identify factors influencing their implementation in the field. A qualitative approach was used, with data collection techniques including observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews. Three informants were selected through purposive sampling based on their respective areas of responsibility within the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency of Banggai Regency. The research findings are expected to provide an overview of the strengths and weaknesses in the implementation of goods and services procurement policies, as well as provide recommendations for improving governance. Furthermore, this study is expected to contribute as a reference for further research in the field of public policy, particularly procurement.

Abstract

This study examines how the politics of fear is shaped and exploited through threat narratives in state security policy. Using a qualitative approach and literature study methods, this study analyzes the dynamics of discourse used by the state to legitimize repressive security measures. Threat narratives, discursively constructed by state actors and amplified by the media, play a central role in shaping public perceptions of imminent danger. The resulting collective fear allows the state to justify enacting extraordinary policies, even when there is no real, proportionate threat. Within the framework of securitization and state of exception theories, security policy is interpreted as a response to politically defined, rather than objective, threats. As a result, the space for public participation is narrowed, civil rights are diminished, and the rule of law is threatened. This study emphasizes that security cannot be built on manipulative constructs of fear but must be grounded in transparency, justice, and respect for democratic principles. Critique of the politics of fear is crucial to ensure that security policy does not deviate from the framework of a democratic and civilized state based on the rule of law.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the development of democracy in developing countries through a qualitative approach based on literature. Democracy in developing countries exhibits diverse dynamics, ranging from institutional progress to decline due to covert authoritarian practices. By reviewing various scientific sources such as academic journals, international agency reports, and reference books, this study presents a thematic synthesis of factors influencing the democratization process. The results indicate that the weakness of political institutions, elite dominance, and socio-economic inequality are the main obstacles to democratic consolidation. However, there is also a significant role for non-state actors such as civil society organizations and the media in promoting political openness and accountability. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the importance of a contextual, non-universal theoretical approach in understanding democratic practices in developing countries. These findings reinforce the urgency of developing a more inclusive, adaptive, and local-reality-based democratic framework. Thus, this literature study not only provides theoretical contributions to the realm of political science and governance but can also serve as a reference for formulating more sustainable policies to strengthen democracy in developing countries.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze and evaluate the implementation of Indonesia’s Law No. 3 of 2014 on Industry as a strategic policy instrument for national industrial development. Utilizing a qualitative research design with a document analysis method, the study assesses the law's effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, and sustainability in addressing pressing structural challenges particularly early deindustrialization, declining manufacturing competitiveness, and the persistently low added value of domestic industrial output. Although Law No. 3 of 2014 provides a robust normative and legal framework, its practical implementation has encountered significant constraints. These include weak inter-agency coordination, limited institutional capacity at the subnational level, insufficient policy alignment across sectors, and minimal integration of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) into the national industrial ecosystem. Using Dunn’s (2003) public policy evaluation framework, the study finds that the law has yet to foster an inclusive, adaptive, and innovation-driven industrial environment. Moreover, policy outcomes remain fragmented and inconsistent with long-term industrialization goals. To address these gaps, the study recommends enhancing policy implementation through stronger cross-sectoral integration, capacity-building for regional industrial governance, increased investment in research and development, and the protection of strategic industries vital to national resilience. These efforts are essential to lift Indonesia out of the deindustrialization trap and position it toward achieving sustainable, high-value industrial transformation.

Abstract

As an archipelagic nation, Indonesia is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, both geological and hydrometeorological, making the need for post-disaster policies particularly urgent. Post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction go beyond rebuilding physical infrastructure; they also encompass social, economic, and psychological recovery, as well as aspects of sustainable development. However, in practice, post-disaster policies are often mired in project-based political interests, with funding allocation, aid distribution, and prioritization of recovery areas influenced by electoral agendas and political patronage. This shifts policy orientation from meeting the needs of survivors to elite legitimacy, potentially leading to unfair distribution of benefits and marginalization of vulnerable groups. Furthermore, private sector involvement in the reconstruction process is often tainted by short-term economic interests that neglect the humanitarian dimension. Bureaucratic fragmentation, overlapping authority, and weak coordination mechanisms further undermine the effectiveness of recovery policies. These conditions demonstrate that post-disaster policies are not a neutral space, but rather a political arena rife with competing interests. Therefore, principles of good governance such as transparency, accountability, public participation, and independent oversight must be foundational to implementation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method to examine the dynamics of project politics and public interest in post-disaster policies. The literature analysis allows for the identification of patterns of policy distortion as well as opportunities for governance reform. Thus, this study seeks to provide theoretical and practical contributions to formulating more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable post-disaster policies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the practice of political feminization in village government, focusing on the role of women in male-dominated local politics and the challenges they face in confronting patriarchal structures. Although women's participation in village governance is increasing, entrenched patriarchal structures remain limited space for women to make significant political decisions. In this context, political feminization contributes to a shift in policy priorities and a more inclusive and collaborative leadership style. However, the main challenge women face are the cultural and systemic barriers that limit their access to power. Although gender quotas and affirmative policies provide opportunities for women, their effectiveness is highly dependent on women's ability to leverage their positions in local political structures. The study concludes that to achieve deeper gender equality, structural changes in social norms are needed, as well as increased educational and economic access for women. The feminization of local politics is not only about numerical representation, but also about empowering women in the process of making policies that are more responsive to their needs.
