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.

Abstract

This study examines how digital media has reshaped political campaigning and youth participation in Indonesia’s 2024 presidential election, with particular attention to the political mobilization of Generation Z voters. As the first election in which Gen-Z constituted a significant proportion of the electorate, the 2024 contest provides a critical moment to assess how affective digital strategies influence democratic engagement. The study employs a qualitative content analysis of social media campaign content to investigate how political actors mobilized online attention, emotions, and participation. The primary dataset consists of 72 Instagram posts—12 selected posts from each of the six presidential and vice-presidential candidates—systematically coded and analyzed using NVivo to identify dominant themes, messaging patterns, and strategic variations across campaigns. Digital media monitoring data from Indonesia Indicator, covering the period from October 2023 to 14 February 2024, are used as contextual evidence to situate content-level findings within Indonesia’s broader digital campaign landscape. The findings reveal clear divergences in digital mobilization strategies. The Prabowo–Gibran campaign relied heavily on emotional, entertaining, and personalized content, successfully generating affective connections and higher levels of online engagement among Gen-Z voters. In contrast, other candidates predominantly employed conventional issue-based and programmatic messaging, which tended to produce more limited interactive participation. The study argues that Indonesia’s 2024 election reflects the consolidation of affective digital politics, where algorithmic visibility, emotional resonance, and participatory digital culture increasingly shape electoral competition.

Abstract

The Zapatista movement (EZLN) is a radical leftist populist movement that frames the struggle of poor peasants and indigenous communities in Chiapas against state domination and neoliberal economic forces as a fight between "the people" and elites. Rejecting hierarchical power, the Zapatistas advocate for collective leadership, direct democracy, and self-government as alternatives to elitist structures. Their movement champions social justice, land rights, cultural identity, and local sovereignty as the core of their political struggle. This article aims to understand how EZLN mobilises its constituents using the framework of Political Process Theory and its relevance towards populist discourse. The Zapatista movement faced intense repression, militarisation, and state-led stigmatisation that portrayed them as violent, limiting their growth and support. Neoliberal policies like NAFTA worsened local poverty and harmed indigenous communities, fuelling the Zapatistas' resistance against economic and social injustice. In response, they built grassroots support through community engagement and gained solidarity from civil society. International networks of NGOs, activists, and human rights groups amplified their cause, pressuring the Mexican government to halt repression and revise harmful policies.
A Configurational Causation in Post–Arab Spring Political Economy: Regime Transition Modes and Economic Liberalization in the Middle East (2011–2024) La Ode Sugianto; Sinthia Nurhabibah; Hariya Toni; Hisyam Syafii; Salma Dzakiyyah Az Zahrah; Husain Azhari

Abstract

This study examines how modes of political regime transition shape economic liberalization trajectories in six Middle Eastern states: Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Jordan, and Algeria, across the post-Arab Spring period from 2011 to 2024. Drawing on comparative historical analysis, the study challenges linear assumptions linking democratization to market reform, arguing instead that the outcomes of economic liberalization are determined by the configurational interaction of three causal conditions: transition modality (revolutionary overthrow, negotiated settlement, or authoritarian adaptation), distributional coalition alignment, and institutional capacity. Rather than treating regime type as a singular independent variable, the analysis shows that no single condition is sufficient to explain divergent liberalization trajectories; it is the specific combination and sequencing of these conditions that produce distinct policy outcomes across cases. Revolutionary transitions in Tunisia and Egypt created structural openings for reform but simultaneously destabilized the institutional scaffolding required for consistent policy implementation. By contrast, monarchical continuity in Morocco and Jordan enabled selective, gradual liberalization insulated from distributional conflict. Across all six cases, trade liberalization advanced most consistently, while privatization and subsidy reform faced organized resistance from labor coalitions and middle-class constituencies. Institutional capacity, operationalized through bureaucratic professionalization, central bank autonomy, and judicial effectiveness, emerged as a critical intervening mechanism that moderated the translation of political transition into economic policy change. External conditionality from international financial institutions further shaped reform sequencing, with domestic coalitions exercising selective compliance as a strategic response. The findings yield a configurational causal framework applicable to post-authoritarian political economies in the Middle Eastern regional context and contribute to broader theoretical debates on the sequencing of simultaneous political and economic liberalization.

Abstract

Railway-edge settlements in Indonesian cities are commonly framed as illegal encroachments or failures of spatial planning. Such perspectives, however, overlook how these spaces persist through everyday negotiations and relational governance. This article examines how political networks shape the production and sustainability of space in Dupak Magersari’s railway-edge settlement, Surabaya. Drawing on a qualitative case study approach—combining in-depth interviews, field observation, document analysis, and institutional and media reports—the study analyses interactions among residents, neighbourhood associations, municipal authorities, legislators, the railway company (PT KAI), civil society organisations, and academic communities.The findings reveal that the settlement’s persistence is not merely the outcome of weak law enforcement or residents’ resistance, but of negotiated governance. Legal ambiguity creates structural conditions that enable occupation, while political networks operationally mediate tensions between state regulations and residents’ livelihoods. Administrative recognition, selective tolerance, and infrastructural interventions generate de facto legitimacy without formal land rights. Community organisations, CSOs, and universities further transform lived space into representational force by converting everyday experiences into policy claims and public legitimacy. Historically, earlier collective mobilisations have also sedimented channels of mediation that normalise negotiation over coercion.The study contributes theoretically by extending Lefebvre’s concept of the production of space toward a relational and networked perspective, showing that informality is not the absence of governance but a form of governance enacted through political mediation. Railway-edge space thus emerges as a hybrid, continuously assembled through negotiation rather than determined solely by law.

Abstract

The present study discusses the social movement organized the women and people of Mollo—a movement that advocated environmental sustainability and rejected marble mining activities conducted in Mollo, South Central Timor, East Nusa Tenggara. Aleta Baun, the figure who led this movement, elucidated how the strength can be amplified when accompanied by local philosophy. Along with 150 other women from Mollo, Aleta Baun occupied a mine and started weaving, an act that signifies protecting the earth's honor. This movement is analyzed through an ecofeminist perspective, a feminist and ecological movement in a localized area. This study uses a qualitative method and the data is collected through document study and an in-depth interview with Aleta Baun, the initiator of this movement and a representative of East Nusa Tenggara’s Regional People’s Representative Assembly during the 2014-2019 period. The principal finding of this research reveals that the movement succeeded in eliminating the mining company from their area. Aleta Baun then proceeded on becoming a legislative member that participated in environmental policy-making.

Abstract

E-government-based population administration services are a strategic instrument in public service reform aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and quality of service to the public. This research is motivated by the persistent problems encountered with conventional population administration services, which tend to be slow, unresponsive, and do not fully meet the principles of modern public service. The urgency of this research lies in the need for an empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of e-government implementation at the local level, particularly in Banjarbaru City. The novelty of this research lies in the use of a qualitative approach with an input-process-output-outcome model of public service effectiveness analysis framework to assess digital-based population administration services at the sub-district level. The research problem formulation includes the effectiveness of e-government implementation, obstacles encountered, levels of public satisfaction, and factors influencing service optimization. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the implementation and impact of e-government on population administration services. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The research results show that e-Government improves the efficiency and transparency of services, as well as public satisfaction, despite still facing infrastructure and digital literacy challenges. The study's conclusions emphasize that optimizing e-Government requires strengthening institutional capacity and service inclusiveness to achieve sustainable public service effectiveness
