Abstract

The representation of women in the West Sumatra regional legislative for the 2024-2029 period has increased, although it has not yet reached the 30% quota. A total of 10 women were elected out of 65 seats. This phenomenon is not significantly different from other regions, even though West Sumatra is known as the only matrilineal region that glorifies the central position of women. Various strategies were employed by female legislators in gaining the trust of the community. Gender strategies and political capital have become tools to break through the dominance of patriarchy in the electoral arena. The purpose of this study is to analyze the political capital and gender position in the winning strategies of elected female legislators in the matrilineal area. The research method is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and content analysis of publications. The results of the study show that the majority of elected legislators are those who have political capital in the form of organizational experience, connections with influential figures, and the use of gender proximity to attract the trust of female voters, who are the main target. The essence of matrilineal areas is not considered to have much influence on the victory of women in West Sumatra

Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of female electability in Indonesian local politics, situated at the intersection of patriarchal hegemony and technological acceleration. Methodologically, the research employs a quantitative explanatory approach involving 180 respondents. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to evaluate the interaction between variables. The results reveal three fundamental findings. First, the Dominance of Digital Strategy in Mitigating Patriarchal Cultural Residues is confirmed, with the model demonstrating solid predictive power (R2 = 0.460$). This affirms that nearly half of the variance in voter support is determined by the effectiveness of digital campaigns. Second, a Shifting of Patriarchal Hegemony through Digital Performative Politics is observed. Statistical analysis highlights a sharp contradiction: while gender stereotypes continue to exert significant negative pressure (β = -0.342$), digital campaigns emerge as a superior positive determinant (β = +0.518$). This disparity signals an "algorithmic disruption," allowing candidates to transcend structural barriers.As a novel contribution, this research formulates The Digital Shield Framework and Strategic Mitigation of Gender Barriers. This framework offers a tactical roadmap for candidates to convert social capital into electoral incentives. The study concludes that the integration of digital intelligence functions as a primary "escalation ladder" to penetrate the glass ceiling, shifting the political landscape toward a meritocracy based on digital performance

Abstract

Decentralization has been widely promoted as a strategy to improve governance performance, strengthen local accountability, and improve policy responsiveness. However, its effectiveness depends heavily on the extent to which decentralized governance aligns with institutional structures, sociocultural contexts, and intergovernmental policy dynamics. This study examines how decentralized governance can be optimized by comparing the Province of Central Java in Indonesia and the State of Kedah in Malaysia, which represent two distinct state structures: a unitary system with regional autonomy and a federal system. Using a qualitative comparative case study approach, the study relied on semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, policy documents, and white papers. Data were analysed using cross-case thematic analysis to identify patterns of convergence and divergence in decentralized practices. The findings suggest that, although decentralization in Central Java grants local governments broader formal authority, it is constrained by institutional capacity and policy coordination challenges. On the other hand, decentralization in Kedah offers greater policy stability but limits local autonomy and innovation due to strong state-level control. The study highlights the importance of aligning central and regional policies, taking into account sociocultural factors, and strengthening participatory mechanisms to optimize decentralized governance. This research contributes to the decentralized literature by emphasizing the need for context-sensitive, adaptive governance models rather than uniform policy designs.
