Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed the landscape of civil society advocacy, particularly in the defence of digital rights in Indonesia. This study examines the evolving role of SAFEnet (Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network), a prominent civil society organization committed to protecting digital freedoms. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research explores SAFEnet’s strategic responses, structural challenges, and advocacy outcomes through comprehensive literature analysis and thematic interpretation. The findings reveal that SAFEnet has transcended its initial function as a policy watchdog, emerging as a facilitator of digital public discourse, a provider of legal assistance, and a cross-sectoral coalition builder advancing the rights to freedom of expression, data privacy, and digital justice. Its integrated advocacy model encompasses social media mobilization, digital literacy campaigns, policy engagement, and the innovative use of technology to amplify civic participation. Despite operating within a restrictive regulatory environment characterized by censorship and the criminalization of dissent, SAFEnet has demonstrated adaptive resilience and strategic innovation in expanding the digital public sphere and promoting democratic engagement. This study contributes to the discourse on digital civil society by critically mapping a localized advocacy model and by reinforcing the theoretical relevance of network society and public sphere frameworks in the context of Indonesia’s evolving digital democracy.

Abstract

The presence of Islamic boarding school students (santri) in Indonesia’s political history holds substantial significance, not merely due to their growing demographic weight but also because of their strategic influence and pivotal roles in the last three national elections. Santri function not only as active voters but also as critical components of electoral coalitions and, in some cases, as candidates themselves. This study employs a quantitative research design utilizing a multistage random sampling technique, with a margin of error of 3.1%, a 95% confidence level, and an assumed population variance of 50:50, resulting in a sample size of 1,076 respondents. Data were collected through structured face-to-face interviews conducted during the 2024 general elections in Central Java. Participants comprised individuals who had attended and resided in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Findings indicate that family members and religious leaders exert a strong influence on santri's political engagement. A majority of santri report still relying on family networks and religious authorities as primary reference points when selecting their preferred candidates. Furthermore, the majority of santri are affiliated with the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) organization, which remains a dominant institutional force within Indonesia’s Muslim community. However, the alignment between santri and formal political parties, especially Islamic political parties, remains relatively fluid, with only a minority holding formal party membership or sustained political affiliations. This suggests that while religious identity shapes political values, party loyalty among santri is neither uniform nor necessarily strong.
