Abstract

This article discusses the nature and extent of ideological predispositions of the Jakarta electorate. Using a survey of a random sample of voting-aged Jakarta population, this research attempts to explore how polarised the voters are and how their ideological proclivities are related to their political alignment. The distribution of the ideological map shows that voters are generally divided on political secularism and economic dimensions. On the political secular dimension, Anies-Prabowo’s voters tend to support the larger role of Islam and Muslim clerics in politics while Ahok-Jokowi’s are resistant to the increasing role of Islam and its clerics in politics. On the economic dimension, Anies-Prabowo’s voters are more inclined towards economic nationalist views while Ahok-Jokowi’s are more tolerant of economic liberalism. However, further multi-variate tests reveal that the political affiliation drives the ideological cleavage in political secularism dimension only. Meanwhile, in the economic dimension, the main driver is party identification.

重新审视印尼的政治两极分化——以雅加达选民为例

本文讨论雅加达选民意识形态倾向的性质和程度。这项研究通过对雅加达投票年龄人口的随机抽样调查，试图探索选民的两极分化程度，以及他们的意识形态倾向与政治结盟之间的关系。意识形态地图的分布表明，选民在政治世俗主义和经济层面上普遍存在分歧。在政治-世俗层面，阿尼斯·普拉博沃的选民倾向于支持伊斯兰教和穆斯林神职人员在政治中发挥更大的作用，而阿霍克·佐科维的选民则反对伊斯兰教及其神职人员在政界发挥越来越大的作用。在经济层面，Anies Prabowo的选民更倾向于经济民族主义观点，而Ahok Jokowi的选民对经济自由主义更宽容。然而，进一步的多变量检验表明，政治派别仅在政治世俗主义维度上驱动意识形态分裂。同时，在经济层面，主要驱动因素是政党认同。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs, published by the GIGA Institute of Asian Studies (IAS) in Hamburg, is an internationally refereed journal. The publication focuses on current developments in international relations, politics, economics, society, education, environment and law in Southeast Asia. The topics covered should not only be oriented towards specialists in Southeast Asian affairs, but should also be of relevance to readers with a practical interest in the region. For more than three decades, the Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs (formerly Südostasien aktuell) has regularly provided – six times per year and in German - insightful and in-depth analyses of current issues in political, social and economic life; culture; and development in Southeast Asia. It continues to be devoted to the transfer of scholarly insights to a wider audience and is the leading academic journal devoted exclusively to this region. Interested readers can access the abstracts and tables of contents of earlier issues of the journal via the webpage http://www.giga-hamburg.de/de/publikationen/archiv.
