“…In fact, female Klebun from both of the processes were not intended to be independent public representatives. As Wardani & Subekti (2021) and Watson (2014) explained, women in politics often used to build political dynasties and strengthen family positions in power. They are nominated based on calculating the chances of victory and administrative reasons rather than women empowerment.…”

2021

During the Indonesian reformation era, Madurese politics began to see a notable increase in women participation. One indicator is the increasing number of female village chiefs, locally referred to as Klebun, who occupies the highest leadership position within Madurese villages. An in-depth interview with two female Klebuns and three informants revealed that female Klebun in Madura represents women and extended kinship interests in continuing dynastic politics. The female Klebun experienced a subaltern form of relationship with the largely patriarchal system they find themselves in, marked by coercion, threats, pressure and lack of freedom in their candidacy and village leadership. The lack of any communicated objections from the female population over these repressive actions is due to the strong dominance of patriarchal culture in Madurese society. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The primary data used are the results of interviews with five informants. Secondary data used consist of relevant scientific journals, articles, and books. This research is conducted under the framework of postcolonial feminism.

“…Other research revealed that women's descriptive representation in government would become substantive representation (Norris & Lovenduski, 1989), but this is not always the case. Research on women in the 2019 elections in Indonesia does not show it (Wardani & Subekti, 2021). The background experience of the candidates will influence substantive representation.…”

Women’s Issues in the Campaign of Incumbent’s Wife in the Regional Head Election

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The representation of women in politics aims to deputize their interests. The problem is whether a female regional head candidate is more committed to women’s interests and represents women’s aspirations. What issues are raised in the campaign of a female candidate? This study aims to analyze women’s issues promoted by a female candidate in the 2020 Bengkalis Regional Head Election. The argument for taking the case study in Bengkalis is that a female candidate being the incumbent’s wife won the Regional Head Election, even though her husband had committed corruption and was sentenced to prison. Political family nominations are often based on popularity and family name, not on the candidate’s quality. This study analyzed women’s issues in the Regional Head Election with qualitative, descriptive, and NVivo analyses. The data were collected by documenting news in the media and the vision and mission presented by the candidate pairs. By taking the case of women’s issues in the political, economic, public service, social and legal sectors, the study results unveiled that all actors involved in the campaign, whether candidates, success teams, society, and public figures, were interested in women’s issues. Women’s issues becoming a concern in the campaign encompassed women’s economic empowerment, social security, health services, education, and domestic and children violence. Meanwhile, sanitation and the environment were not the issues in the campaign. The findings of this study reinforce previous studies that female candidates tend to raise issues related to social policy and redistribution and women’s services in the domestic sector.

“…In Indonesia, several studies have examined the factors of women's electability in political contestation, primarily regional and legislative elections, from various aspects. For example, From Social Capital (Wungu, 2022;Suhenty, 2020;Rahayu & Chairunnisa, 2021), from the political dynasty aspect (Fitriyah, 2021;Spary, 2020;Marwah & Catur Pratiwi, 2022;Wardani & Subekti, 2021), the right political strategy and communication (Iwan Satriawan, 2018;Salim, 2019). This article takes a different point of view because it uses three aspects at once, namely social capital, political capital, and symbolic capital from Piere Boerdiau as the key to Khofifah's victory in the 2018 East Java Governor Election, where this approach has never been studied before.…”

The dominance of the Muslim community in East Java and the existence of a patriarchal culture affect voter behavior, making it difficult for women to become governors. This study aims to reveal the success factors of women, namely Khofifah Indah Parawansa, to become Governor in East Java from the aspect of his modalities based on Piere Boerdiau's perspective. This research uses a type of qualitative research with narrative analysis. This research shows that Khofiah's victory is inseparable from the ability to maximize all types of modalities owned, namely social capital, cultural capital, and symbolic capital. All types of modalities were then packaged very well by the political public relations of Khofifah's winning team so as to win a lot of public sympathies and greatly contribute to Khofiah's victory.
