It starts with a story from the west with the story of Brutus as a symbol of political stupidity which becomes a common thread that political events are indeed very dynamic. Interestingly, the term Brutus syndrome appears to distinguish this book from several other references that discuss politics. In addition, the phrase judl explicitly shows that politics is the culture of society by choosing the phrase "country" rather than "state". In addition, politics in the historical aspect can be displayed in a flowing language style that is effectively attached to the reader's mind

The Role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency in Flood Disaster Mitigation Efforts in Banyulegi Village, Dawarblandong District, Mojokerto Regency
Get PDFBanyulegi Village is an area that has the potential for flood disaster as it is a downstream area of the Kali Lamong River Basin. Consequently, this flood disaster instigates problems, both material and non-material damage and loss. Thus, it needs the role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency or BPBD of Mojokerto Regency in disaster mitigation efforts to reduce the risk and impact of flood disasters.

E-Voting Inclusivity: The Accessibility of Elderly Voters in the 2021 Village Head Election in Sleman Regency
Get PDFThe Village Head Election (Pilkades) is a forum for the community to use their voting rights to elect leaders at the village level. It utilizes technology as a tool to accelerate and influence the technicalities of village head elections from conventional to digital through electronic voting (e-voting). This research aims to analyze the accessibility of elderly voters in the Village Head Election in Sleman Regency, Special Region Province of Yogyakarta (DIY). This research was examined using Thomas and Penchansky's theory which consists of indicators of availability, accessibility and accommodation. This research was a qualitative type of research with data collection techniques using primary data, obtained from interviews, and secondary data, obtained from journal articles and other literature studies in the form of research-related documents. The results of this research show that the Sleman Regency’s Community Empowerment Service and the Village Government were the parties that provide facilities and infrastructure to the community in the village head election in Sleman Regency. In accommodating this, initially, the political dynamics in Sleman Regency were more apathetic and traditional for the elderly people due to the change of the era. However, after researching, the problems that arose during the election were more related to the technical aspects of e-voting rather than the community or elderly people. Several obstacles occurred during e-voting, making the voters annoyed. Then, the elderly voters were given the same services as the other voters, except for the elderly with limitations. In this case, indicators such as availability, accessibility, and accommodation are considered appropriate and sufficient for the needs of elderly people. Regarding these needs, the TTU (the main technical team) and TTL (the field technical team) try their best to fulfill whatever it is without discrimination
Family Politics in the Recruitment Process of Legislative Candidates in the 2024 Elections: A Case Study of the Indonesian Unity Party (Perindo)
Get PDFThis research aims to explain the political recruitment process of the Perindo Party in endorsing legislative candidates with the family backgrounds of its general chairman. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The results showed that the Perindo Party normatively implemented a more innovative political recruitment process for the 2024 legislative elections by involving public participation and technology. However, in this idealized process, a phenomenon of family politics occurs. The family of the chairman of the Perindo Party did not go through the entire recruitment process because they have strong ties to the party elite who have decision-making power. The chairman's family jumped straight to the nomination stage to be nominated by the Perindo Party. The mechanism is also directly through appointment rather than e-voting as cadres and the general public must go through the title of the people's convention. Therefore, the political recruitment of the Perindo party for the 2024 legislative elections has a gap in the process for the chairman's family because it does not apply the principles of openness and fairness. This has implications for the lousy party institutionalization trend in political recruitment

Get PDFThe issue of the environmental crisis is increasingly getting the attention of the world community. in addition to the government, the community may also contribute to protecting the environment and saving the earth. moreover, this study used a qualitative approach. a literature study is the data collection technique that was employed. the results of research activities conducted by wwf indonesia obtained outcomes that aligned with the main activities achieved based on the planning that was implemented, regulations formed from activities, and interventions involving stakeholders. thus, the government and wwf indonesia have an impact on each other when it comes to the issue orientation aspect of implementing green politics. furthermore, initiatives from wwf indonesia have the potential to shed light on forest sustainability on the island of kalimantan. however, the environmental movement encompasses more than merely the aspect of realizing policy. every environmentally committed institution also serves the wider community by providing education pertaining to the environment. according to the program table, the program’s implementation for the working period has ended, so it is currently required to clarify the follow-up on which program will be implemented next. this condition also indicates that there was no turning point for the relevant sector government when the responsibility devolved to WWF indonesia, and ultimately, this program was discontinued
The Urgency of the Bantul Regional Disaster Management Agency in Increasing Disaster Awareness among Women’s Community
Get PDFWomen are included in the list of vulnerable victims of disaster due to their lack of skills and lower physical strength than men. The role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) as a communicator or messenger is required in the efforts to increase disaster awareness and information among women's community. This urgency is supported by the condition of the area which has a high risk of disaster as well as the fact that the total female population outnumbers the males. This research aims to find out how the BPBD of Bantul Regency uses social media to promote disaster awareness and information to the women's community. In the digital era, social media is considered capable of channeling messages more widely to reach underserved communities. This research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research results show that the BPBD of Bantul Regency have made some efforts to increase disaster awareness and information among women's community by involving direct participation. In carrying out the role, the communicator has a structured information delivery and processing chain by involving Pusdalops (the Operational Control Center) and teams from each field. This results in messages wrapped in the form of social media content, even though the disaster narrative does not yet represent efforts to increase disaster awareness and information for women's community. The target of this social media communication is the general public, both men and women. The existence of a structured information delivery and processing chain as well as mastered materials can make the messages reach the women's community. The researchers propose an alternative model for disaster communication through social media as an effort to increase disaster awareness and information among women's community without changing existing disaster information communication patterns. The researchers propose this model to fill the gap in the role of teams in each field who should have knowledge capacity related to the disaster awareness and information among women's communit
Social Capital for Community Resilience in Responding to the 2018 Earthquake in the Cupek Community, Lombok
Get PDFIndonesia frequently experiences earthquakes as it is located at the convergence of three highly active tectonic plates, making it prone to natural disasters. Lombok, an island in Indonesia, experienced a series of devastating earthquakes in 2018, resulting in heavy casualties, severe damage and economic repercussions. This research focused on the Cupek community in Sigar Penjalin Village, North Lombok Regency, who demonstrated their resilience and survival capabilities in the aftermath of the earthquakes. Despite limited external assistance during the initial hours following the earthquake, the community swiftly activated their resilience capacities, relying on their social capital and collective actions for support and recovery. This research aims to examine the most significant resilience capacities implemented by the community and explain the process of activating them. This research used the concept of social capital to analyze how the community mobilized their resources and abilities, which ultimately ensured their survival during the initial emergency response. The theoretical framework, data collection and methods of analysis were elaborated and followed by the presentation of specific findings for Cupek. The implications of the research as well as its practical applications for emergency responders and planners were also discussed. The main objective of this research is to enhance the understanding of resilience in small communities, particularly emphasizing the importance of social capital in the context of disasters.Â
Examining the Forms of Central Government’s Dominance over Local Governments in Liberia
Get PDFIn recent years, the government of Liberia and its stakeholders have developed several policies towards decentralization that have led to significant developments. However, challenges still remain, especially the dominance of the central government, political greed, etc. This study aims to identify the forms of central government’s dominance over local governments in Liberia and its impacts on local governance. This research applied a qualitative method with primary data obtained through interviews with relevant informants and secondary data obtained through analysis of previous studies, mass media, and policies regarding decentralization in Liberia, and analyzed using an interactive model in addition to the NVivo 12 Plus software. The findings reveal that the central government exerts dominance in three forms, including visible, hidden, and invisible forms. Visible forms include explicit regulations predominantly financial control and local officials' appointment, which allowed the central government to dictate local governance. Hidden forms mainly include intimidation and political party influence, which are not publicly acknowledged, allowing the central government to maintain its dominance and often devaluing local agendas. Invisible forms mainly include institutional capture and policy development, shaping the mindsets of local officials and citizens as well as viewing this dominance as natural, thus leading to a culture of silence. Hence, the research emphasizes the need for further reforms to ensure a balanced distribution of power and the independence of local governments to serve communities effectively and make decisions aligned with local needs
