{"title":"Political Bondage (Ijon) and Democracy: How do Natural Resources Build High Electoral Political Financing Orders?","authors":"Hendy Setiawan","doi":"10.53013/bestuurskunde.4.1.1-14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53013/bestuurskunde.4.1.1-14","url":null,"abstract":"The practice of political bondage (ijon) in electoral political events is a threat to democracy, which to this day is still relatively limitedly studied. This creates minimal gaps in how to view the phenomenon of high electoral political financing from the perspective of natural resource politics. So far, natural resources have always been viewed as inanimate objects. However, in the study of natural resource politics, this object is not neutral. The presence of the political bondage system which is a small part of the form of transactional politics in the informal democratic space has actually become the identity and characteristic of electoral politics in Indonesia. In the context of political bondage, the exchange of roles between patron becoming client and, vice versa, client becoming patron will continue to recur. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research methodology. Researchers collect data through secondary data, namely various relevant literature, starting from media, books, journals, news reports, formal institutional data, and other data which is sorted according to research needs. The results show that the practice of political bondage still fulfils and always colors electoral politics in Indonesia. This informal democratic practice leads to high levels of financing of electoral politics. Interestingly, the involvement of corporations in funding general elections outside of political party funds also has an impact on reciprocation for the management of natural resources. The development of transactional political practices in informal spaces will create challenges for the quality of democracy: the birth of corrupt behavior, the weakening of the government structure, dynastic-oligarchic politics, and the increase in electoral political financing. The conclusion is that the practice of political bondage will always grow in the space of informal democracy. The relationship between the public sector, elites and the private sector will always exchange roles as patron and client according to the conditions and electoral political map in the field.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"69 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140736143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to examine the disruption of democracy in Indonesia that occurs with the phenomenon of high political costs and offers possible solutions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. The results show that high political costs are the start of transactional politics and corruption. High political costs result in the use of various illegal means by candidates/figures to find sources of financing. High political costs and a democratic process based on financial capability open up the opportunity for the emergence of figures/candidates lacking integrity and quality ideas/performance. Several solutions can be offered to achieve a more substantive, higher quality, and dignified future era of democracy, including: (1) Political parties and the government should promote the optimization of legal sources of funding for political parties, both in cash and non-cash while strengthening accountability and transparency, (2) The government and election organizers should enhance regulatory enforcement, and supervision, and impose strict sanctions on political party funding, (3) Political parties should prioritize the selection of candidates with high integrity and quality based on their ideas and performances, (4) The government and election organizers should consider implementing e-voting for future elections in Indonesia to enhance digital democracy.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"26 7‐8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This involves the exchange of money, goods, or services for votes, which may result in the election of candidates who are unqualified or do not represent the interests of the people. In analyzing the destruction of democracy, political culture, morals and political ethics through the factors that determine the occurrence of vote buying and selling in elections in Indonesia, this article uses a literature study method with a qualitative descriptive research type. Through analysis, Rational Choice Theory will dissect and examine the destruction of democracy, political culture, morals and political ethics through the factors that determine the occurrence of vote buying and selling in elections in Indonesia. this research concludes (1) The practice of buying and selling votes in elections in Indonesia has become a serious problem in democratic development. This happens because of the desire to win the election by any means, including by giving money or goods to voters to vote for a particular candidate. (2) A political culture imbued with repeated acts of buying and selling votes makes these illegal interactions common. The main goal is to make a large number of voters understand the act of voting with certain benefits as an opportunity for charitable people. (3) On the one hand, it can increase political participation for incentive recipients. On the other hand, this can damage trust and reduce participation by parties who view it as a corrupt practice that undermines morals and political ethics.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"84 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140736316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high logistics costs of general elections have historically fueled corruption. This study analyzes corruption, including mega corruption, following Indonesia’s adoption of an open election system and assesses the impact of corruption on government service quality and regulations. Research methods include Exploratory Data Analysis, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), and Comparative Ordinary Least Square. Findings show that (1) Democracy in Indonesia is closely linked to corruption and mega corruption at both central (executive and legislative) and regional (regional head election) levels; (2) Corruption and mega corruption trends preceding general elections are expected to persist in the 2024 and 2029 elections; (3) Political corruption leads to poor government service quality and regulation; (4) The shock of pre-election corruption will affect government quality for over two decades. This research emphasizes the need for electoral process and corruption enforcement reforms in Indonesia. Unmitigated, pre-election corruption can lead to poor governance and reduced public welfare.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140737419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article utilizes qualitative research methodologies to examine the consequences of increasing political costs on the dynamics of Indonesian democracy, specifically concerning accountability and financial support for political parties. The main findings suggest that the financial assistance to political parties in Indonesia has not adequately tackled the forthcoming challenges that Indonesian democracy may encounter. In contrast, political parties persist in facing challenges in accountability mechanisms for the funds they acquire. The provision of financial aid may be perceived as a feasible approach to mitigate the financial burdens associated with political campaigns. However, in the absence of adequate mechanisms to ensure transparency and accountability, there is a possibility of corruption and concerns regarding the scope of funding. This article further emphasizes the significance of political education as a fundamental obligation of political parties to uphold democratic efficacy. This study places particular emphasis on the ramifications of providing financial assistance to political parties for the future trajectory of Indonesian democracy. To ensure the continued progress of democracy in Indonesia and realize the “Golden Indonesia 2045” vision, stakeholders must possess a comprehensive comprehension of the matter and effectively tackle the obstacles that arise from the significant political expenses involved.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140737379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to analyze the impact of the formation of the province on the economic performance of Papua Island. The method used is the Final Demand Impact analysis of the Input-Output (I-O) Table. The results of this study indicate that the formation of the province has an impact on increasing the economic output of Papua Island by 37.7 percent and 69.5 percent for an increase in added value and contributing to an increase in employment of 71.1 percent or as many as 1.5 million people. The improvement in the economic performance of Papua Island, in turn, will indirectly have a positive effect on improving people's welfare and strengthening regional competitiveness and the contribution of the regional economy to the national economy. In addition, it also reduces the level of inequality in economic development nationally, which is still dominated by Java Island.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116507730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses a qualitative method by combining literature and spatial analysis. The determinant factor that supports the successful implementation of budget reallocation, program refocusing, and realization of regional expenditures is the application of administrative sanctions to regional governments that do not work according to the target. The sluggish performance of regional governments is caused by bureaucratic obstacles, limited knowledge of regulations, and fears of imposition of sanctions if they make wrong decisions. Data shows that out of 34 provinces, only four can carry out budget realization and spend over 80% on handling the impact of COVID-19.
