“…Dalam melakukan pencegahan konflik paska Pilkada, pemerintah memiliki pola bervariasi dalam mengatasi pencegahan tersebut (Niederberger, 2020). Pola yang dibentuk memiliki ukuran dari yang kecil hingga besar yang berkaitan dengan fasilitas dan netralitas birokrasi.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between the local elite power and the local government following the 2017 regional election of DKI Jakarta (Pilkada). The conflict phenomenon that occurs after the general election is an important issue to study. In line with Pilkada's high-intensity activities in many regions in Indonesia, a study of the power relationships between local elites and the local government is important in order to prevent social conflicts following elections. This research is qualitative research using interview data and secondary data from online media, journals, books and related materials to collect data. The technique of data analysis uses secondary data domain techniques. Results of this study stated that 4.3% of people whose friendship had been damaged by the presidential election in 2014 and 5.7% of their social relations affected the regional head elections in Jakarta in 2017. This will continue to increase if no precautionary measures exist other than handling post-election conflicts, which local political elites and local governments deliberately ignore. ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji relasi antara kuasa elit lokal dengna pemerintah lokal pasca pemilihan kepala daerah (pilkada) DKI Jakarta tahun 2017. Fenomena konflik yang terjadi setelah pelaksanaan pemilihan umum menjadi isu penting untuk dikaji. Seiring dengan kegiatan pilkada yang dilaksanakan di Indonesia di beberapa daerah dengan intensitas yang tinggi maka penting adanya kajian tentang relasi kuasa elit lokal dan pemerintah lokal dalam pencegahan konflik sosial pasca pemilihan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengambilan data melalui data wawancara dan data sekunder yang berasal dari media online, jurnal, buku dan dokumen terkait. Adapun teknik analisis data menggunakan teknik domain data sekunder. Hasil penelitian ini menyebutkan bahwa terdapat 4,3 persen masyarakat yang hubungan pertemanannya rusak karena pemilihan presiden tahun 2014 dan sebesar 5,7 persen hubungan sosialnya terdampak akibat pemilihan kepala daerah Jakarta tahun 2017. Kondisi tersebut akan semakin meningkat apabila tidak ada tindakan pencegahan selain itu pola penanganan konflik paska pilkada dinilai kurang serius dan sengaja dibiarkan oleh elit politik lokal dan pemerintah lokal.

How Expert Committees Become Group Agents: Self-Legitimation in the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

The UN human rights treaty bodies—groups of experts tasked with monitoring how states implement international human rights conventions—are increasingly portrayed as powerful collective entities with agency. This article focuses on one mechanism that helps collectives of individuals become group agents, namely internal self-legitimation. By internal self-legitimation, we mean practices such as narratives and rituals enacted by a group that ascribe legitimacy to it in the eyes of its members and are key to building common identification among them. We explore how self-legitimation facilitates group agency on the basis of a case study on the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), obtaining empirical evidence for the study from content analysis of CRPD documents and interviews with former and present members. We show that specific legitimation narratives—related to the moral value of the committee’s task and the moral integrity of its members, the fairness of the CRPD’s procedures, and the committee’s association with other presumably legitimate institutions—facilitated identity-building and helped the CRPD to develop the characteristics of a group agent and take decisions. Finally, we explore the conditions on which the findings might be applicable to other human rights treaty bodies.

Contested Facts: The Politics and Practice of International Fact-Finding Missions

International organizations (IOs) dispatch fact-finding missions to establish epistemic authority by objectively and impartially assessing contested facts. Despite this technocratic promise, they are often controversial and sometimes even fuel international disputes that challenge the epistemic authority of the dispatching organizations. Although the twenty-first century has witnessed a proliferation of United Nations (UN) commissions of inquiry, they have received surprisingly little attention in international relations (IR) scholarship. How can we explain this trend and the successes and failures of fact-finding missions, which sometimes even backfire on the IO authority? Drawing on IR theories of delegation, epistemic authority, and IO field operations as well as public international law scholarship on commissions of inquiry, this article develops an analytical framework for studying the delegation, implementation, and dissemination of fact-finding missions. It theorizes how and under what conditions international fact-finding missions close or widen credibility gaps and thus help to establish, maintain, or weaken the epistemic authority of IOs. The article illustrates this framework with a case study of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Human Rights Situation in Chile, sent by the UN Commission on Human Rights in 1974 to investigate allegations of human rights violations and torture. The conclusion outlines a comparative research agenda on international fact-finding missions for IR that contributes to the study of knowledge production in IOs and the enforcement of international norms.
