The papers presented at the ICISPE provide research findings and recommendations that are both directly and indirectly beneficial for public needs, especially policy makers and practitioners in ...
In Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar, democratic regression and the reconsolidation of authoritarian regimes have triggered the rise of social media-driven protest movements. These are pioneered by a new generation of activist youth, distinguishing themselves from previous student and youth movements by the digitally mediated, decentralized and diverse nature of their protest. While experimenting with digitally mediated repertoires of action adopted and adapted from similar struggles elsewhere, these protesters forge transnational links that give rise to new protest assemblages across and beyond the region. This is exemplified by the social media-based #MilkTeaAlliance, in which the distinct p...
This is an open access book. The study program of Government Studies and Political Science has been playing significant roles in building best practices of good governance and political ethics through scientific research and community development and opening a space for academic discussion with the main concern “Social and Political Issues”. These activities are in line with the Universitas Jambi’s vision to be “a world-class entrepreneurship university” based on environment and agrotechnology. As part of the efforts to provide a space for academic dialogue at a global level, we organize an international conference that aims to develop scientific knowledge, build institutional capacity, and strengthen networking. This conference raises the issue of “The Emerging Technology & Digital Inclusive on Contemporary Social and Political Issues” to capture the phenomenon of social and political issues at local, national, and international levels. The selection of this topic is based on the vision and mission of study programs, faculty, as well as Universitas Jambi.
This edited book examines the growing worldwide phenomenon of civilizational populism in democratic nation-states and brings together research that explores this in a wide variety of religious, political, and geographic contexts. In doing so, the book shows how, from Europe to India and Pakistan, and from Indonesia to the Americas, populists increasingly define national belonging through civilizational identity, claiming that the world can be divided into several religion-defined civilizations with incompatible values. The volume also discusses the complex relationship between civilizational populism, democracy and nationalism and shows how nationalists often use civilizational identity to help define ingroups and outgroups within their society. With this, the book investigates the salience of the concept, its widespread and influential nature, and also explains how populists construct civilizational identities, and the factors behind the rise of civilizational populism.
We proudly present the proceedings of 6th International Conference on Social and Political Enquiries 2021 (ICISPE 2021) with the main theme The Politics of Pandemics: Governing Social and Communal Resilience in Times of Crises. It focuses on the relation of policy and global network, regional integration, pandemics regulation, human security, and local government. These issues are important today, not only globally, but also Indonesia nationally to the local level. There are several important issues relating to this, both institutionally and the relationships between individuals and groups in supporting the agenda in managing the pandemics. More than 130 manuscripts were presented at this conference; around 60 of which are selected to be published in proceedings. We hope by this conference, discussions on the importance of sustainable development will increasingly become an important concern together and bring better response from the government and social relations for development.
Despite being a major player in the ending of Soeharto's New Order regime in 1998, today the Indonesian pro-democracy movement is a marginal force in Indonesian politics and the process of reformasi is in the hands of other (elite) forces. Accordingly, there are some who now question if the quest to establish what would have been the world's third largest democracy is now a lost cause. This book represents a unique joint effort by concerned scholars and reflective activists to review and analyze the character, problems, and options facing the Indonesian pro-democracy movement. It is the first study to analyze why the pro-democracy movement failed to capitalize on its earlier successes and today is marginalized.
Pemilu di Indonesia dalam perjalanan sejarahnya sangat kompleks, dan punya banyak masalah di berbagai aspek, meski secara umum dapat dikatakan cukup lancar dalam pelaksanaannya. Tema pemilu di Indonesia selalu penuh daya tarik. Hal tersebut mendorong berbagai kajian akademik tentang dinamika pemilu Indonesia. Mulai dari yang menyoroti proses politiknya, hingga menyangkut aspek-aspek teknis dalam penyelenggaraannya. Meskipun demikian, yang menarik dari buku ini tentu saja adalah para penulisnya terlibat secara langsung dalam penyelenggaraan pemilu di Indonesia. Mereka mempunyai kelebihan dibandingkan pengamat atau akademisi, karena mereka adalah bagian dari fenomena yang dituliskan. Karya mereka adalah catatan dari lapangan, yang bukan didasarkan oleh riset akademik dengan waktu terbatas. Para penulis menyarikan sesuatu yang sesungguhnya dilihat, dialami, dirasakan, dan bahkan mendatangkan kesulitan bagi mereka. Mereka pantas disebut pendekar garda depan dalam menjaga amanat demokrasi elektoral. Mari kita nikmati renungan-renungan mereka yang kritis, reflektif, dan inspiratif.
Hingga saat buku ini diterbitkan, sudah ada sekitar 80 negara telah memiliki Mahkamah Konstitusi (Constitutional Court). Dari negara yang telah mendirikan Mahkamah Konstitusi itu, hampir semuanya sudah melengkapi dengan kewenangan constitutional question atau yang disebut juga dengan istilah pengujian norma konkret. Sayangnya, Mahkamah Konstitusi RI justru belum memiliki kewenangan tersebut. Dalam hal ini yang dimaksud dengan constitutional question atau atau pengujian norma pengujian norma konkret itu sendiri adalah pengujian konstitusional yang dilakukan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi berdasarkan permohonan yang diajukan oleh diajukan oleh hakim pengadilan manakala ia ragu akan konstitusionalita...
Sistem kaidah atau norma yang menuntun dan mengendalikan perilaku ideal manusia dalam kehidupan bersama dapat berupa norma-norma agama (religious norm), norma etika (ethical norm), dan norma hukum (legal norm). Ketiga sistem norma atau kaidah itu timbul alamiah dalam kenyataan hidup manusia secara universal. Pada mulanya, ketiganya bersifat saling melengkapi secara komplementer dan sinergis satu sama lain, tetapi dengan perjalanan waktu dan perkembangan kompleksitas kehidupan dalam masyarakat timbul perbenturan antarketiga sistem norma itu dalam praktik. Gejala perbenturan antarsistem itulah yang direspons secara berbeda-beda oleh aliran pemikiran yang berkembang dalam sejarah. Aliran positivisme Comte yang berpengaruh besar dalam sejarah dengan tegas berusaha dan berhasil memisahkan sistem norma hukum dari pengaruh sistem agama, dan bahkan dari sistem etika. Bahkan dalam ‘Stuffen theori des recht’ (pure theory of law)-nya Hans Kelsen, ditegaskan bahwa norma hukum harus dibersihkan atau dimurnikan dari aneka pengaruh sosial, politik, ekonomi, dan apalagi pengaruh etika dan agama.
