Authoritarian Populism in Indonesia: The Role of the Political Campaign Industry in Engineering Consent and Coercion

Abstract: All around the globe, populism has become increasingly prominent in democratic societies in the developed and developing world. Scholars have attributed this rise at a response to the systematic reproduction of social inequalities entwined with processes of neoliberal globalisation, within which all countries are inextricably and dynamically linked. However, to theorise populism properly, we must look at its manifestations in countries other than the West. By taking the case of Indonesia, the third largest dem… Show more

“…Putin's strong man image also echoes Indonesian domestic political discourse. Prabowo Subianto's popularity in the 2014 and 2019 elections is related to the idea that Indonesia needs a strong leader like him to safeguard and protect the country (Rakhmani & Saraswati 2021). In 2018, Gerindra politician Fadli Zon argued that Indonesia needs a leader like Putin, who is "brave, visionary, smart, and authoritative.…”

“…Pilgub DKI Jakarta tahun 2017 dan Pilpres 2019 adalah gerbang transisi digital politik di Indonesia. Situasi ini menandakan telah menyusulnya Indonesia pada peristiwa-peristiwa serupa seperti Pilpres Amerika dan Brexit di tahun 2016, di mana misformasi, propaganda komputasi (Woolley and Howard 2019), intervensi perusahaan teknologi berserta industri jasa kampanye politik (Rakhmani and Saraswati 2021) tidak hanya mendistorsi wacana komunikasi, tetapi juga membelah publik (Lim, 2017).…”

“…Sementara itu, paradoks muncul ketika, pada satu sisi, agenda literasi digital banyak diinisiasi komunitas masyarakat, institusi pendidikan dan pengambil kebijakan, tetapi di lain sisi, penggunaan bot, pendengung dan influencer masih diminati elit politik (Haq, 2021), dan di saat yang sama juga terjadi konsolidasi antara elit ekonomi oligarkis dan elit politik dengan penyedia jasa kampanye digital (Rakhmani and Saraswati 2021).…”

“…The study perceives these three codified narratives as the characteristic of Islamic populism. According to Rakhmani and Saraswati (2021), populism speaks about the mobilization of "the people" against the "elite" as the result of socio-economic inequalities brought about by global neoliberalism. However, what is meant by the people is a fraction of a society considered "the true people", irrespective of the fact that this could be merely a self-claim.…”

“…Therefore, an effort for Islamic liberation/revivalism is necessary. In the case of the 212 Movements, Rakhmani and Saraswati (2021) argue that the ummah created a cross-class coalition with the conservative ulama and was supported by some political parties: Gerindra, PKS, and PAN. While the elites as the subject of criticism are the government considered as anti-Islam and tend to discriminate against ummah and criminalize the ulama.…”
