Abstract

This article explores the impact of peace-oriented electoral campaigns on the attainment of political victories in post-conflict regions, drawing upon empirical evidence from three local elections in Mamasa, Eastern Indonesia. In the early 2000s, Mamasa experienced a period of significant communal and religious tensions, which led to the emergence of a contested arena where reconciliation narratives, tolerance politics, and cultural traditions intersected with electoral competition. Prior studies on post-conflict elections in Indonesia have predominantly focused on institutional reforms or power-sharing mechanisms. Conversely, there has been limited attention paid to campaign discourses as instruments of peacebuilding and political legitimacy. The present study employs a qualitative case study design, conducting in-depth interviews with political elites, religious leaders, and community representatives. This approach is complemented by a thorough document analysis of campaign materials and electoral data. The findings indicate that candidates who consistently framed their campaigns around reconciliation, interfaith solidarity, and inclusive development were more likely to secure broad-based support across religious and ethnic lines. The analysis demonstrates that peace-oriented narratives functioned as symbolic capital, reducing residual distrust and legitimizing leadership in a fragile political landscape. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the dynamic interaction between local cultural institutions, religious authorities, and electoral strategies in sustaining post-conflict stability. This research contributes to broader debates on the nexus between peacebuilding and democratization, offering insights into how political campaigns can move beyond identity-based competition toward inclusive governance.

Abstract

This article critically examines global climate finance governance through a postcolonial lens, focusing on how schemes such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF) reproduce colonial structures in knowledge–power relations. Methodologically, it employs a qualitative approach with Norman Fairclough’s Critical Dis-course Analysis of UNFCCC documents, statements by Global South states in COP negotiations, and technocratic narratives institutionalized by Global North actors. The findings show that climate finance regimes sustain epistemic inequities through indicators, proposal formats, and development rhetoric rooted in European modernity, thereby positioning Global South countries and Indigenous peoples as passive recipients rather than knowledge producers or equal partners in climate policy design. Drawing on decolonial thought, the study foregrounds epistemic disobedience as a strategy to contest Western epistemic hegemony and to advance recognition of plural ways of knowing. Case studies from Indonesia, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Bolivia, and several African countries illustrate forms of resistance articulated through diplomacy, local spiritualities, and international legal initiatives that frame the climate crisis as part of a colonial legacy. The article contributes to critical International Relations by highlighting a research gap on coloniality in environmental regimes and argues that decolonizing climate governance requires not only redistributing funds but also redistributing legitimacy, representation, and political–epistemic capacity to shape just climate solutions.

Abstract

Digital disruption forces political intermediaries to evolve or face obsolescence. While national-level digital transformation is well-documented, grassroots dynamics within local party branches remain under-researched, leaving a significant gap in emerging democracies. This study argues that digital transformation at the subnational party level does not inherently catalyze democratic deepening; rather, it functions as a mechanism of 'Pragmatic Digitalization' that solidifies traditional hierarchical power structures. Focusing on the East Java provincial branches of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) and the National Mandate Party (PAN), this qualitative multi-site case study examines how local party machinery navigates this shift. Utilizing a four-dimensional framework adoption, management, deliberation, and participation, the findings demonstrate that while both parties successfully transition into 'Hybrid Parties' by professionalizing administrative governance (via SIPP and SimPAN applications), this transformation remains structurally partial. Digital tools are weaponized primarily for top-down communication and organizational survival rather than fostering horizontal intra-party democracy. Ultimately, this research refines 'Digital Party' theory by exposing a distinct Global South paradigm: digitalization professionalizes party bureaucracy to build a 'digital armor' for organizational resilience while strategically preserving localized elite hegemony.
