“…Mengikuti tren tersebut, studi-studi mengenai populisme juga mulai menjamah Indonesia (i.e. Hadiz & Robison 2017;Hadiz 2014;Mietzner 2014;Pratikno & Lay 2013;Okamoto 2009;Hamid 2014). Kecenderungan ini bukanlah hal yang mengejutkan mengingat dalam sejarah Indonesia, populisme telah muncul dalam berbagai bentuk, bahkan sudah ada sebelum era reformasi.…”

Populisme bukanlah fenomena baru di Indonesia. Gerakan perlawanan populisme dalam sejarah Indonesia muncul dalam berbagai bentuk, sejak masa Orde Lama hingga pasca-Orde Baru. Pada masa Orde Lama, muncul gagasan Nasakom (nasionalisme, agama, komunisme) yang digagas oleh Soekarno sebagai upaya melawan kolonialisme. Di akhir masa Orde Baru, muncul gerakan perlawanan mahasiswa yang menentang kekuasaan rezim otoritarianisme, dan bahkan berhasil menjatuhkan pemerintahan Soeharto. Pasca-Orde Baru, populisme hadir dalam bentuk munculnya figur-figur yang dianggap populis dan juga kebijakan-kebijakan populernya. Pada tahun 2016-2017, fenomena yang terkait dengan populisme juga terjadi, namun kali ini dalam bentuk aksi massa yang terkait isu keagamaan, yaitu Aksi Bela Islam (ABI) yang dimotori oleh Gerakan Nasional Pengawal Fatwa Majelis UIama Indonesia (GNPF-MUI). Rangkaian Aksi Bela Islam ini melibatkan banyak elemen untuk menuntut keadilan hukum bagi Ahok yang dinilai telah menistakan Alquran. Beberapa argumen menjelaskan bahwa fenomena Aksi Bela Islam merupakan kompetisi antarelite oligarki, atau bagian dari Islamisasi yang lebih luas, seperti mengubah konstitusi menjadi hukum Islam atau sekadar bagian dari upaya merusak proses kampanye dalam Pilkada DKI Jakarta 2017. Mengacu pada argumentasi Vedi Hadiz terkait populisme Islam, Aksi Bela Islam yang menggunakan simbol Islam sebagai pemersatu dan landasan mobilisasi diyakini akan mengarah kepada terbentuknya populisme Islam di Indonesia. Namun, studi ini menunjukkan bahwa walaupun Aksi Bela Islam memperlihatkan adanya unsur-unsur populisme Islam, seperti aliansi multikelas dan narasi satu ummah, namun gerakan Aksi Bela Islam ini lebih merupakan populisme Islam semu (pseudo Islamic populism), daripada populisme Islam baru yang diargumentasikan oleh Hadiz. Studi ini menemukan bahwa hanya sebagian saja unsur yang dipenuhi. Aliansi dari mereka yang terhimpun tidak bertahan lama, serta pemaknaan terhadap ummah beragam di antara peserta Aksi Bela Islam sendiri. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan pendekatan tertentu dalam membangun konsep populisme Islam telah membuat konsep tersebut kurang mampu menangkap fenomena populisme di dalam konteks masyarakat Muslim.

“…These programmes were complemented by using Rudy's unique position -he was a charismatic figure, the leader of the Surakarta branch of PDI-P, and had broad, stable networks -to connect Jokowi to the grassroots. Both men were also skilled at effectively utilizing existing political linkages between the government and citizens' groups (Pratikno and Lay 2013).…”

This article discusses the phenomenon of volunteer organizations supporting Joko Widodo – better known as Jokowi – in Surakarta and the surrounding area during Indonesia's 2014 presidential election. This research is important because, although volunteerism has been commonly replicated since Barack Obama's victories in the 2008 and 2012 American presidential elections, profi les of volunteers (their identities, motivations and self-defi nitions of their activities) and their activities (how they organize carry out and fund them) are still largely unknown. The article aims to address this lack of research within both the context of political transformation in Indonesia as well as the broader context of volunteerism, and to show how it contributes to democratization in Indonesia. This article reveals that volunteerism as a movement crosses class, age, ideological and gender boundaries, while its organizational form at the local level seems to be based on class, gender and/or age. Through their organizational models, activities, approaches and motives, volunteers have restored activism and volunteerism to Indonesian political processes. Nonetheless, this article cannot be certain of the movement's contribution to the development of Indonesian democracy.

“…Soon after his (first) election, Joko Widodo adopted the tourism-oriented branding, Solo: The Spirit of Java, which effectively created a sense of 'togetherness' under which to expand his political basis." [7]. This phrase describes 'Mayor Joko Widodo's holiday fiesta'.…”

The making of populism in Surakarta city had almost been a tale. Mayor Jokowi was supposedly a humble, confident and broadened minded leader. Humble, that he was a person who had the willingness to listen to inputs from citizen. Confident, in a sense that he had necessary capacities to decide policies contrasting to others who often trapped in hesitance causing good policies hooked in their drawers. And broadened CSOs and local fora. Despite CSO's influence, there were two challenges left. They are populism that had gained its champion and some ironies so-called discrepancy and poverty. Connecting the two, this paper argues that alternative actor presence had been influential in democratic space but not strong enough that it could spur to linking populist programmatic politics to a better life for the poor. A space to facilitate democratic actors work together again is about an imperative to make democracy again on the march at Solo city.
