Abstract

The Poso conflict has left a profound collective memory among communities in the affected villages, including Bancea (Padamarari). While previous studies have examined the dynamics of violence and peacebuilding in Poso, there remains a limited anthropological understanding of how social memory is constructed, transmitted, negotiated, and mobilized by local communities in their post-conflict everyday life. This study aims to explore how traumatic experiences and lived memories of the conflict are reconstructed by different social groups, and how these memories shape reconciliation practices, intergroup relations, and long-term social stability. This research employs a qualitative anthropological approach involving twelve key informants, including customary leaders, women survivors, youth, and village officials. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and field documentation over one month of fieldwork. Thematic analysis was applied to identify memory patterns, meaning-making processes, and the social mechanisms that underpin the reproduction of collective memory. The findings reveal three main insights. First, the memory of violence remains deeply embedded in villagers’ narratives and forms part of the community’s collective identity. Second, “strategic forgetting” emerges as an adaptive strategy used by community members to maintain social harmony and avoid renewed tensions. Third, the cultural value of Sintuwu Maroso serves as a key reconciliation mechanism, enabling trust-building across groups and facilitating the restoration of social cohesion. This study contributes to the broader literature on memory and post-conflict anthropology in Indonesia by demonstrating that collective memory functions not only as a historical burden but also as a social resource for strengthening community-based reconciliation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) in addressing the security crisis and supporting state-building in Haiti, a fragile country. Using a qualitative approach based on literature, this study examines three main dimensions: security stabilization, political stability, and institutional capacity. The results show that MINUSTAH succeeded in reducing violence and supporting elections, thus creating short-term stability. However, this success was temporary and highly dependent on the presence of international actors. In the long term, MINUSTAH has not been able to strengthen institutional capacity sustainably and has tended to increase dependence on external aid. Furthermore, various criticisms such as human rights violations, the cholera scandal, and a legitimacy crisis have also affected the intervention's effectiveness. This study concludes that international intervention was effective in initial stabilization but limited in creating independent and sustainable state-building.

Abstract

This study analyses the involvement of ethnic minorities within the structure and political activities of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) in Makassar and examines the extent to which this nationalist party practices inclusive politics at the local level. A qualitative case study approach was employed to explore the dynamics of political representation in a multiethnic society. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with party officials, minority cadres, and community leaders, complemented by participatory observation and document analysis. The findings reveal that ethnic minority participation in PDIP Makassar is largely descriptive and symbolic, driven more by electoral strategy than by a genuine ideological commitment to pluralism. Nevertheless, minority cadres contribute to shaping the party’s image as an open nationalist institution and help expand its political base in multiethnic regions. These results reinforce Pitkin’s (1967) theory that substantive representation does not automatically arise from descriptive representation. Practically, this study highlights the need for more transparent recruitment mechanisms and inclusive internal policies to ensure that minority participation becomes equitable and sustainable within party structures and political decision-making processes.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how fishing communities in Aeng Batu-Batu Village, Takalar Regency, construct and negotiate their citizenship claims in their interactions with the state. Using a descriptive qualitative approach within the framework of political sociology, this research explores the social and political practices underlying state–citizen relations in the context of social welfare. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis involving 20 informants, including fishermen, village officials, and local figures. The findings reveal three primary forms of citizen claim-making: direct claims to authorities, mediated claims through social intermediaries or political brokers, and collective claims through fishermen’s groups. These forms demonstrate that access to social policies remains highly dependent on patronage networks and personal relationships with local actors. In this context, the state does not function as a neutral institution but rather as a social arena where citizens negotiate their rights through adaptive strategies. Although patron–client relations remain dominant, the study also identifies emerging forms of reflective citizenship, particularly among younger fishermen who use social media to voice injustices. The results affirm that local citizenship practices are dynamic, relational, and continuously shaped through the ongoing process of claim-making that mediates the interaction between citizens and the state.

Abstract

Waste management at the Binuang Landfill has earned Polewali Mandar Regency the Adipura Award. However, waste management at the Binuang Landfill has resulted in leachate seeping into community rice fields and air pollution. This environmental pollution impacts the socio-economic aspects of the community. This study aims to analyze the impact of waste management policies at the Binuang Landfill on the environment and surrounding community using the concept of Political Ecology. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that waste management policies at the Binuang Landfill do not yet reflect the principles of sustainable and equitable political ecology. This can be observed in the environmental position in policy negotiations between the government and the community. The conflict between the government and the community focuses solely on fulfilling their respective rights without considering environmental aspects. This condition makes waste management at the landfill suboptimal, resulting in impacts that sacrifice the rights and welfare of the community around the Binuang Landfill.

Abstract

Generation Z has become a focus of attention in the context of elections because this group is bringing significant changes to the way they participate and interact with socio-political issues through technology. The large number of this generation also demonstrates the potential influence they can have on the democratic process. Furthermore, with easy access to technology and information, Generation Z has the ability to quickly articulate their views through social media. The purpose of this study is to identify and explain the factors that shape Generation Z's voting preferences in the context of elections. The research method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative research method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with several informants and used two types of data: primary and secondary. The results of this study indicate that several factors shape Generation Z's voting preferences in elections. First, psychological factors due to the strong influence of emotional impulses and rapid exposure to information through social media. Second, rational choice factors, where Generation Z chooses based on the benefits they receive.

Abstract

Banyak penelitian yang telah menunjukkan bahwa ternyata secara tersirat terdapat kecenderungan aktor keagamaan yang terlibat terhadap pemilihan kepala daerah, termasuk dalam hal ini Kecenderungan Atas Keterlibatan Aktor Gereja Terhadap Danny Pomanto Pada Pemilihan Walikota Makassar Tahun 2020. Tujuan Penelitian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami dan mengidentifikasi Agama Dan Politik (Studi Kecenderungan Atas Keterlibatan Aktor Gereja Terhadap Danny Pomanto Pada Pemilihan Walikota Makassar Tahun 2020). Metode Penelitian. Tipe penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan jenis naratif. Adapun pengambilan data dilakukan melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi. Landasan Teori yang digunakan adalah perspektif institusionalisme baru yang dikaitkan dengan dan Konsep Aktor Politik, dan Konsep Etika Politik Kristen. Hasil Penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa gereja tidak terlibat secara langsung dalam politik praktis. Namun, individu dalam gereja, seperti gembala, pendeta, dan jemaat, memiliki kebebasan moral dan interpersonal untuk membentuk persatuan dan kelompok diskusi guna menentukan pemimpin mereka. Contohnya, Jaringan Doa Kota Makassar secara persuasif mendukung calon Danny Pomanto, tetapi tanpa melibatkan gereja secara institusi. Aktivitas ini mencerminkan keterlibatan moral dan tersirat dalam politik, didukung oleh tokoh-tokoh penting dalam hierarki gereja yang memiliki pengaruh besar pada jemaat mereka. Penekanan pada prinsip agama dan politik dalam konteks Alkitab menunjukkan pemahaman yang dalam tentang relevansi nilai-nilai agama dalam politik modern. Dengan mengacu pada ayat Alkitab, penulis menyoroti peran gereja dalam masyarakat, menekankan pentingnya pendidikan politik dan kesadaran dalam proses politik. Hal ini mengindikasikan dukungan di luar gereja sebagai aktor gereja merupakan hal lazim sesuai Alkitab untuk bersatu dan menyiapkan pemimpin, yang sering diekspresikan melalui kegiatan diskusi dan persuasi dalam menentukan pemimpin. Selain itu, memang Danny Pomanto terus berupaya memenangkan dukungan dari jemaat dengan program yang menyatukan umat Kristen melalui acara sosialisasi di luar gereja. Hal ini disambut baik oleh masyarakat gereja selama periode pertama dan pemilihan 2020. Meskipun tidak selalu memberikan bantuan materi, upaya memfasilitasi beliau menunjukkan komitmen dan persaudaraan yang kuat dengan gereja.

Abstract

Across many electoral democracies in sub-Saharan Africa, persistent insecurity challenges the assumption that democratic governance inherently promotes peace. Nigeria exemplifies this paradox, where repeated electoral cycles coexist with escalating violence, including insurgency, banditry, and communal conflict. While existing studies emphasise structural drivers such as poverty and weak institutions, less attention has been paid to how citizens’ perceptions of democratic failure shape pathways to violence. This study examines the micro-foundations of armed mobilisation by analysing how democratic disillusionment influences individual and collective engagement with non-state violence in Nigeria. It asks: (1) How do citizens interpret and respond to perceived failures of democratic governance? and (2) How do these perceptions affect their willingness to support or participate in violent alternatives? The study adopts a qualitative research design based on secondary data, drawing on policy reports and existing scholarly literature. Using a thematic and interpretive analytical approach, it traces the relationship between perceived democratic exclusion, declining institutional trust, and patterns of armed mobilisation. The study demonstrates that insecurity is not only a product of structural deprivation but also of legitimacy crises that reshape citizens’ calculations about authority and participation. By foregrounding perception and agency, the study advances a more nuanced understanding of the democracy–security nexus. The study contributes to debates on the democracy–security nexus by demonstrating how legitimacy crises at the citizen level can translate into support for, or participation in, non-state violence.

Abstract

This study examined community-based approaches to tackling insecurity in Nigeria within the country’s prevailing socio-economic, political, and institutional contexts. It was prompted by the persistent escalation of insecurity, including kidnapping, banditry, insurgency, and communal conflicts, despite sustained efforts by state security agencies. The study is grounded in the Routine Activity Theory, which posits that crime occurs when a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian converge in time and space. The study adopted the historical research design and relied on secondary sources of data, including textbooks, journal articles, government publications, policy documents, and credible online materials. Content analysis was employed to systematically examine and interpret the data through thematic categorization. Findings revealed that insecurity in Nigeria is driven by interrelated socio-economic and governance factors such as poverty, unemployment, weak institutional frameworks, corruption, and inadequate security capacity. It was also established that state-centered security strategies alone are insufficient, as they are constrained by limited manpower, weak intelligence systems, and declining public trust. The study further found that community-based security approaches, such as vigilante groups, neighborhood watch systems, and community policing, serve as important complementary mechanisms by enhancing surveillance, improving intelligence sharing, and strengthening rapid response to security threats. However, their effectiveness is limited by challenges such as weak regulation, inadequate training, and human rights concerns. The study concludes that a sustainable security framework in Nigeria requires an integrated approach that combines effective state institutions with well-structured and accountable community participation.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between democracy, corruption, and economic decline in Nigeria, with particular emphasis on civilian administrations since 2015. It is anchored on Public Choice Theory, which explains political behaviour as being driven primarily by self-interest rather than collective welfare. The study adopted a qualitative approach, using a historical research design and content analysis of relevant academic literature, policy documents, and documentary evidence. Findings reveal that although Nigeria has maintained democratic governance since 2015, expected developmental outcomes have been constrained by persistent corruption and weak institutional frameworks. Corruption remains deeply embedded in public administration, manifesting through mismanagement of public resources, weak accountability systems, and political patronage. These challenges have significantly contributed to economic decline, reflected in rising unemployment, inflation, deteriorating infrastructure, and increasing public debt. The study further shows that civilian administrations have struggled to translate democratic governance into meaningful economic development due to policy inconsistency and institutional inefficiency. The study concludes that democracy in Nigeria has not delivered optimal economic outcomes due to entrenched corruption and governance weaknesses, in line with the propositions of Public Choice Theory. It recommends, among others, that anti-corruption institutions in Nigeria be strengthened through enhanced operational independence, adequate funding, and the strict enforcement of accountability mechanisms. This will help to reduce political interference, improve institutional effectiveness, and promote transparency in public administration.
