O artigo analisa a reeleição de prefeitos no Brasil. Tem como objetivo principal compreender os determinantes do resultado eleitoral daqueles que almejavam à reeleição em 2016. O fenômeno é explorado a partir de três dimensões analíticas: (1) os aspectos do desempenho administrativo; (2) do contexto municipal (político, econômico e demográfico); e (3) características individuais dos candidatos à reeleição. Para investigar o efeito multivariável dos três agrupamentos (as variáveis independentes) sobre a reeleição dos prefeitos em 2016 (a variável dependente) optou-se pela técnica de regressão logística da família binomial. Os resultados indicam que os aspectos que mais impactam as chances de reeleição são aqueles relacionados às dimensões política e sociodemográfica do município.
Menerapkan teori poskolonial pada dua karya sastra yang ditulis oleh dua pengarang yang berbeda nasionalitasnya dan ditulis dalam kurun waktu yang berlainan tetapi merepresentasikan kehidupan masa kolonial Hindia Belanda adalah hal yang menarik. Bumi Manusia (BM, 1980) karya Pramoedya Ananta Toer dan De Stille Kracht (DSK, 1900) karya Louis Couperus menghadirkan kehidupan pejabat/pegawai Hindia Belanda, pribumi, dan nonpribumi, antara akhir abad ke-19 dan awal abad ke-20: BM memandang dan mengritik pendidikan dan hukum kolonial Belanda, sedangkan DSK memandang dan mengritik perilaku pejabat pribumi yang dipenuhi pemikiran mistik dan pelanggaran tugas. Kedua novel yang berakhir dengan kehancuran keluarga tokoh mengungkapkan pendapat bahwa hubungan yang tak setara, penjajahan, sampai kapan pun hanya menghadirkan perlawanan dan kesengsaraan. Abstract: Applying the postcolonial theory towards two novels, which were written by two authors from different nationalities and periods, representing the life of Dutch colonial period, is an interesting work. Bumi Manusia (1980) by Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Indonesian author, and De Stille Kracht (1900) by Louis Couperus, Dutch author, tell about the life of Dutch government officials ( indigenous and non-indigenous ) on the end of the 19th century until the early of the 20th. Bumi Manusia views and criticizes education and the Dutch colonial law; De Stille kracht views and criticizes indigenous government officials with their mystic thought and violation of duty. Both novels, which end with broken families of the main characters, reveal the opinion that the non-equal connection, colonization just brings struggle and suffering forever. Key Words: postcolonialism, representation of colonial periode, mystic and education, laws and violation
