“…In those regimes, the closest equivalent to a British Leader of the Opposition is the parliamentary party group leader of the largest party in parliament, rather than the party leader. Further, again, in contrast to the classic powerconcentrating arrangements of Westminster systems, there has been a growing trend towards establishing "dual leaderships," involving two co-leaders, both at the level of the party and parliamentary party leadership, and often also with an emphasis on ensuring gender parity at the top (see, e.g., Campus et al, 2022). Some countries, such as Germany, have even known a more advanced form of leadership dispersion with an occasional separation of party leader, parliamentary party group leader, and top contender for the post of head of government-referred to as "chancellor candidate" in the German context (Helms, 2020b)-performing distinctive functions and roles that are all concentrated in the hands of a classic British-style Leader of the Opposition.…”

<p>This thematic issue provides the first comprehensive overview of women opposition leaders and their performance. Setting the stage for a new research agenda, this editorial piece integrates theoretical and empirical insights at the intersection of three distinct research areas: political opposition, political leadership, and gender and politics. It discusses various notions of opposition leaders and identifies three main lines of inquiry: (a) career pathways and trajectories, (b) patterns of selection and de-selection, and (c) the actual and perceived performance of women’s oppositional leadership. Applying a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, this collection of original articles captures the diversity of women opposition leaders, their career trajectories, and their exercise of leadership across different political regimes and world regions.</p>

Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan mengenai adanya kecenderungan terbentuknya faksi di dalam partai politik Golkar di Kalimantan Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi literature dengan menggumpulkan data melalui media massa yang kredibel serta konkrit membahas mengenai konflik tersebut. Selain itu didugung dengan laporan dan google form untuk membuat persepsi masyarakat terkait konflik ini. Berdasarkan hasil temuan penelitian ini bahwa konflik yang terjadi di internal partai Golkar yaitu melibatkan faksi Golongan muda yang dipimpin Ketua DPD Golkar Kaltim, Rudi Masud dan faksi golongan senior yang direpresentasikan Makmur HAPK. Inilah yang menyebatkan kecederungan disebutkan adanya faksi dalam internal partai golkar, karena representasi golongan yang terlihat di publik memunculkan dua figur tersebut yaitu dari golongan muda dan senior. Konflik yang terjadi bisa dikategorikan dalam faksionalisasi kompetitif. Munculnya faksi bisa disebabkan karena adanya perebutan posisi kunci yang terbatas untuk menunjang politik karir dan ini biasanya tidak terlepas karena adanya pengaruh kepentingan elit-elit yang pragmatis. Selain itu penulis mengindentifikasi bahwa konflik ini juga muncul karena adanya motivasi kesejahteraan dalam dilemma kolektivitas partai vs individu. Jika kondisi partai yang buruk ini tidak dipulihkan maka berbagai bentuk kerja sama digantikan dengan perebutan yang mengancam stabilitas partai dan mengiring ke arah degeneratif.

“…The main problem with this approach is that scholars focus primarily on leaders' decisions, behaviour, and the changes they cause, avoiding questions about how leaders influence directly and indirectly their followers, how followers can control the leadership process, and what the consequences are of the leadership process for them. All in all, despite some refreshing exceptions (Campus et al, 2021;Elgie, 2011;Kane et al, 2009), political leadership studies remain overly leader-centric, and the lack of empirical research on political followers is notable.…”

“…The opposite pole of political science also falls short of satisfying this research interest. Political leadership studies recognised that leadership is more complex than the overromanticised idea of strong leaders (Brown, 2014) accepting the dark side (Helms, 2012) and collective (Campus et al, 2021) and distributed forms of political leadership (Elgie, 2011;Kane et al, 2009). Still, researchers are determined strongly by leader-centrism, and as Burns (1978: 1) stated, '[i]f we know all too much about our leaders, we know far too little about leadership' (italics in the original).…”

The missing link: Studying political leadership from the followers’ perspective

Recent political developments suggest that political followership has played increasingly vital roles in modern democratic politics. However, scholarship seemingly lacks proper conceptual and methodological tools for analysing why and how citizens follow their leaders, and what the role of this relationship is in personalised politics and political leadership. Addressing the research gap, this article turns to generic leadership studies for help and introduces its follower-centric models into the field of political science. This venture opens with a review and comparison of some of the different perspectives about political followers in the scholarship on political leadership and personalisation, taking account of their limitations. It then moves on to assess follower-centric models and their empirical results, focusing on observers’ perceptions about the characteristics and behaviours of leaders in the attribution of leadership. Based on these models, the article offers a balanced perspective about leader–follower relations. Recommendations for future research directions are presented in the concluding sections.
