“…Although the open and fair elections had encouraged of broad political participation since the 1999 election, primordial tendencies remained salient. It is obstructing a meritocratic political system and highlighting traditional political figures (Singh 2003). Fair and open elections did not necessarily produce a rational or progressive political system.…”

The development of increasingly accessible digital media has resulted in reasonably intense dynamics of political behaviour and articulation. However, the influence of the internet and social media use on Indonesian political culture has not been much discussed. This article explains changes in contemporary Indonesia’s political culture that align with the proliferation of new digital media by considering socio-political conditions and modernization. In its analysis, this article employs a historical-comparative method with an interpretive approach. The results of this study demonstrate that the traditional conception of power relation has historically influenced Indonesian political culture. In the post-Suharto era, the direct electoral system and primacy of television media promoted popular voter preferences that degraded traditional charismatic figures. The rise of the Internet and social media then had democratizing implications by increasing online public discussion. However, subsequent development of new digital media also illustrated counterproductive trajectory to democratic values as online frictions triggered ethnic and religious-based regrouping. Finally, this article considers that although widespread usage of the Internet and social media inspire democratic implications to Indonesian political culture, longstanding and deep-rooted traits, such as primordialism, persist within this more digitalized society.

“…(Baswedan, 2004). The abangan class in the reform era may be identified with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) consisting of the nationalist, leftist-socialist, and Christian component (Singh 2003). However, according to Liddle and Mujani based on opinion surveys in the 1999 and 2004 elections, the aliran politics no longer relevant to explain the voter behavior in the reform era because it is more determined by the leader figure than the party identification factor and sociological background.…”

“…Pada era reformasi, Megawati Sukarnoputeri mendirikan PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) yang menolak tunduk kepada Suharto. Di era reformasi, partai yang paling dikenal berhaluan sekular dan dekat dengan gagasan kiri adalah PDIP karena sejarah mereka yang merupakan penggabungan partai-partai nasionalis, sosialis, dan Kristen (Singh, 2003). Sementara kalangan priyayi sulit untuk diidentikkan dengan partai tertentu.…”

ABSTRAKArtikel ini berupaya menjelaskan bagaimana keterlibatan sentimen agama dalam ranah politik praktis dapat menciptakan persepsi ancaman keamanan di Indonesia pasca 2014. Beberapa pertanyaan yang akan coba dijawab antara lain mengapa pergesekan politik yang didorong oleh isu agama menjadi krusial pasca 2014? dan bagaimana persinggungan sentimen agama dan persaingan pemilu turut membentuk persepsi ancaman keamanan nasional? Penjelasan tulisan ini dibangun berdasarkan studi kepustakaan dan analisis berita seputar aksi protes di Jakarta sepanjang 2016-2017 dan dampaknya terhadap kemunculan isu-isu politik terkait RRT. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa isu politik dan agama pada 2016-2017 menjadi krusial akibat kulminasi dari pergulatan ideologi politik yang memanfaatkan pembelahan basis sosial berdasarkan ideologi. Peralihan poros kekuasaan pasca pemilu 2014 yang menempatkan kalangan nasionalis sekular di puncak kekuasaan membangkitkan kembali sentimen politik berdasarkan isu-isu agama. Menguatnya kekhawatiran tentang bangkitnya komunisme dan kedigdayaan Republik Rakyat Tionghoa (RRT) di Indonesia merupakan indikasi kuat bahwa pergolakan politik memantik kesadaran kolektif yang telah lama terkubur. Meskipun analisis politik aliran telah dianggap tidak relevan akibat menguatnya unsur kepentingan dalam pemilu, tetapi peristiwa friksi politik pasca 2014 menjadi indikasi bahwa politik aliran, dalam batas tertentu, masih berlaku di Indonesia.
