This research is a field research that tries to discribe and map social relation between society and government and how society participation to government itself. Data collected by observation, interview and document then analyzed with qualitative approach with analytical descriptive method. The results of this study indicate that the wheels government are still full of manipulation by a group of elites who with its power make society as the object of policy. The power of elite creates dominance where society does not have sufficient access to influence or feedback on government policy. This happens because the government doesn't use democratic means, or doesn't become a "father" for the people in organizing the government. The government is only an administrator rather than a leader so that relations and participation between the community and the government is a relationship of dominance, pseudo-participation, manipulative and co-optative. Public participation becomes negative and the deterioration of social relations is a manifestation of society's disillusionment with the elite (elite in power) and the reality is exacerbated by insensitivity and lack of government attention to the objective conditions of society.Keywords: Relation, Power, Elite, Government, Participation

Tulisan ini bermaksud mengkaji tentang kebijakan publik pada masyarakat multikultural. Dalam beberapa kasus, meskipun kebijakan publik sudah disusun sesuai dengan prosedur yang ada, namun dalam tataran implementasi masih sering ditemui adanya resistensi dari masyarakat, terlebih pada masyarakat yang multikultural. Seting sosial masyarakat dalam tulisan ini adalah masyarakat Desa Rias Kecamatan Toboali Kabupaten Bangka Selatan Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung yang multi etnis. Dalam menyelesaikan tulisan ini, penulis menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, di mana data diperoleh dari hasil observasi dan wawancara serta sumber-sumber sekunder pendukung lain yang terkait dengan tema tulisan ini. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun secara prosedural pemerintah telah melaksanan proses perumusan dengan baik namun informasi terkait hasil dari perumusan itu masih menjadi informasi yang "langka" bagi sebagian besar masyarakat. Sehingga hasil kesepakatan tersebut tidak mendapat legitimasi yang kuat dari masyarakat. Belum tersedia ruang ekspresi yang memadai, dalam hal politik dan kebijakan publik sehingga resistensi dalam implementasi kebijakan masih seiring muncul. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan transparasi, akses dan ruang bagi masyarakat untuk dapat memberikan umpan balik terhadap kebijakan publik, yaitu ruang yang bebas intervensi, kooptasi dan intimidasi. Dengan begitu, partisipasi masyarakat akan menguat.

The tsunami disaster in December 2004 was the momentum of Aceh peace which resulted in the Helsinki MoU on August 15, 2005. After that, the political constellation and contestation in Aceh were not dominated by national parties but was influenced by the local dimension, namely the local party and former members of the movement who are involved in practical politics. Political stages as a new means of struggle to realize the ideals of post-peace produce satisfying results, former combatants and local parties succeed in winning Aceh political contestation. its means that the people of Aceh have high expectations to local parties to build Aceh. Thus, the decline of the national party since the 2009 election shows that public trust for the national party is very low. The victory of local parties in political contestation in Aceh would certainly be a signal for national parties to make changes to accommodate local interests and movement's actors in a composition of the party in Aceh.Keywords: Political Constellation, Local Party, Aceh

As a newcomer, the Perindo Party seeks to implement a specific strategy in order to compete with other parties that have already existed in the Indonesian political contestation. One of these is charity show programs. The high rating and concern societies watching the lives of poor people in various charity programs show besides creating profits also become a means of political communication. When political actors control the media, it is clear that there are interests also communicated, including the political powers of the funnel to get support from voters. When the Perindo Party is declared, the "scent" that HT and his party would use the media under their control is very clear. These signals can also be observed from the dominance of HT's trusted people in the MNC Group in the composition of the Central Management Board Center, the Assembly of the Union Party and the court of Perindo party. That mean a charity program not only gives a very big business profit, but also the political media communication, enhance social branding in front of audiences, and build a base of loyal voters from poor family beneficiaries. To finishing this paper, the author uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The data in this article sourced from observations, studies of literature, and other sources considered relevant and then analyzed by the exchange theory of Peter Blau.

This reflective paper aims to discuss the importance of using a cultural approach to resolve political conflicts and see the past as a learning space to create a civilization in the present and future. In the context of conflict, Aceh has become a medium for learning how the political conflict between GAM and the Indonesian government is resolved. The experience of past conflicts, a series of failed negotiations, and the cultural approach to the Helsinki negotiations, in parallel, serve as important lessons and evidence that "historical-humanism" does not work in a vacuum. This article illustrates that a cultural approach is a key to successful negotiations for a resolution. This is due to several things: first, building an estuary of peace with a cultural approach taking into account the representations and interests of the two conflicting parties, related to technicalities and mechanisms and matters of a substantive nature. Second, understanding and appreciating the perspective of others is important to know what messages and aspirations have not been conveyed properly so far. And third, acknowledging past mistakes and sins, then sincerely and boldly apologizing to those who were hurt, is a form of acknowledging regret for what has been done.AbstrakTulisan reflektif ini bertujuan untuk membahas pentingnya menggunakan pendekatan budaya untuk menyelesaikan konflik politik dan melihat masa lalu sebagai ruang belajar untuk menciptakan peradaban di masa sekarang dan masa depan. Dalam konteks konflik, Aceh menjadi media pembelajaran bagaimana konflik politik antara GAM dan pemerintah Indonesia diselesaikan. Pengalaman konflik masa lalu, serangkaian negosiasi yang gagal, dan pendekatan kultural terhadap negosiasi Helsinki, secara paralel, menjadi pelajaran dan bukti penting bahwa "humanisme-historis" tidak bekerja dalam ruang hampa. Artikel ini menggambarkan bahwa pendekatan budaya adalah kunci keberhasilan negosiasi untuk sebuah resolusi. Hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa hal: pertama, membangun muara perdamaian ...
