Abstract

The debate about the weakening of democracy in various countries in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic is currently rising. This article aims to describe how the Indonesian government has implemented various pandemic control policies based on the indicators of democracy from the Freedom House, which include transparency, freedom of opinion, human rights, and pluralism. This article uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach, while data collection uses a literature study focusing on various government efforts and responses from civil society regarding pandemic control. The research results reveal that the policy does not pay attention to the transparency of state budget allocations, including the appointment of goods supplier partners. Threats of doxing against those critical of pandemic control policies interfere with free speech. In the civil society realm, a pandemic’s fear raises the stigma that this virus is identical to the Chinese-ethnic group. This paper concludes that indications of weakening transparency, freedom of opinion, human rights in pandemic control policies, and community responses contrary to pluralism values potentially reduce the quality of democracy in Indonesia.
COVID-19大流行下印度尼西亚的民主衰退
目前,围绕各国在新冠疫情防控过程中民主弱化的争论正在升温。本文旨在描述印尼政府如何根据自由之家的民主指标实施各种流行病控制政策,这些指标包括透明度、意见自由、人权和多元化。本文采用定性方法和描述性分析方法,而数据收集则采用文献研究,重点关注政府在流行病控制方面的各种努力和民间社会的反应。研究结果表明,该政策不关注国家预算拨款的透明度,包括货物供应商合作伙伴的任命。对那些批评流行病控制政策的人进行暗杀的威胁干扰了言论自由。在公民社会领域,对大流行的恐惧增加了这种病毒与华人群体相同的耻辱。本文的结论是,流行病控制政策中的透明度、意见自由、人权削弱的迹象,以及与多元主义价值观相悖的社区反应,可能会降低印度尼西亚民主的质量。
