摘要

先前对印度尼西亚爪哇选民的研究强调了影响投票决定的社会因素,主要是宗教和种族因素。宗教立场和社会宗教取向助长了选举中选民的党派政治。在民主时代,爪哇选民在中爪哇、日惹和东爪哇等爪哇民族基地地区以外的行为导致了同样的解释。然而,本文认为,爪哇民族身份不是选择地区领导人候选人的基础;相反,这个基础是基于宗教的相似性。本定性观察研究考察了2020年印尼布利塔省pilkada(地区领导人选举)中选票从现任候选人向挑战者转移的逻辑。它揭示了选民和挑战者之间的情感亲密促使了选举的转变。这种亲密关系建立在两个方面:选民参与tarekat(苏菲派)活动,与摄政王和副摄政王候选人都有联系的网络,以及与副摄政王候选人的murid(学生)关系。另一个方面是选民和支持挑战者的穆斯林群众组织(mbo)之间的相似之处。此外,现任总统和选民之间情感上的亲密关系解释了选民决定继续投票给他的原因。根据实地调查结果,情感亲近可以解释为一种依恋或忠诚的形式,影响选民对候选人的看法。因此,考虑到选民和候选人之间的情感联系,扩展了爪哇人投票行为的逻辑,正如前面在解释宗教和文化因素时所强调的那样。

Non-Religious and Ethnic Orientations in the Voting Process: A Recent Study of Javanese Voters
Previous studies on Javanese voters in Indonesia emphasised sociological factors, mainly religious and ethnic, in the shaping of voting decisions. Religious positions and socio-religious orientation encourage partisan politics of the voters in elections. In the democratic era, the behaviour of Javanese voters outside the area of the Javanese ethnic bases in Central Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java resulted in the same explanation. This article however argues that Javanese ethnic identity is not the foundation for decisions when selecting candidates for regional heads; instead, this foundation is based on religious similarity. This qualitative observational study examines the logic of vote shifting from the incumbent candidate to the challenger in the 2020 pilkada (elections for regional leader) of Blitar Regency, Indonesia. It reveals that emotional closeness between voters and the challenger encourages electoral shift. The closeness is built upon two aspects: voters’ involvement in tarekat (Sufi order) activities and networks that attach to both the regent and vice vice-regent candidates as well as the murid (pupil) relationship with the vice-regent candidate. Another aspect is the similarities between voters and Muslim massbased organisations (MBOs) that support the challenger. Moreover, the emotional closeness between the incumbent and their constituents explains voters’ decision to keep voting for him. Based on the fieldwork findings, emotional closeness can be interpreted as a form of attachment or loyalty that affects voters’ perceptions of candidates. Therefore, consideration of the emotional bond between voters and candidate extends the logic of Javanese voting behaviour, as previously highlighted in the explanation of religious and cultural factors.
