CC BY-NC-ND ; The purpose of this study is to describe the granting of village autonomy and the implementation of participatory democracy in Indonesia by observing the practice of village planning and budgeting in the Southeast Sulawesi province. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method alongside the data collection techniques of document study, observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The results of the study show that, firstly, decision-making in village development planning is dominated by the village elite and the government. Second, the village budgeting process is closed, elitist, low-accountability, inefficient, and off-target. There are four things that cause village autonomy to fail to realise participatory democracy: weaknesses in regulatory aspects; overlapping institutions; budget dependence; and the low competence of village communities and civil society in supervising the implementation of autonomy. The implication of this research is that autonomy that is practiced in a smaller scope does not fully realise democratisation and citizen participation in its implementation.

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi praktek dinasti politik di Sulawesi Tenggara. Pemilu yang semestinya merupakan kontestasi demokrasi yang sehat, justru menjadi ajang para elit lokal di Sulawesi Tenggara untuk membangun dan memperkuat dinasti politik sejak Pemilu 2014. Para anggota legislatif terpilih pada Pemilu 2019 di Sulawesi Tenggara banyak berasal dari keluarga politik—keluarga bupati, walikota dan ketua partai. Sebanyak sepuluh kepala daerah dari tujuh belas kabupaten/kota di Sulawesi Tenggara, sukses meloloskan keluarga mereka sebagai anggota legislatif mulai dari DPRD Kabupaten/Kota, DPRD Provinsi, hingga DPR dan DPD. Keterpilihan kerabat elit politik lokal ini menjadi ancaman dalam mewujudkan demokrasi yang subtansial, kompetitif dan berkualitas. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan studi kepustakaan dan pengamatan. Hasil penelitian ditemukan, dinasti politik berkembang di Sulawesi Tenggara dalam dua model yaitu dinasti yang tumbuh dari keluarga governing elite dan keluarga non governing elite. Keberadaan dinasti politik ini ditopang oleh empat hal: pertama, pragmatisme dan praktek oligarki partai politik; kedua, tumbuh suburnya politik uang dan politisasi birokrasi; ketiga, lemahnya pengawasaan Bawaslu dan jajarannya; keempat, budaya politik yang kolutif dan paternalistik.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the relationships amongst career patterns, neutrality of the state civil apparatus, and organizational performance of the local government in South Konawe District, Southeast Sulawesi Province in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachData were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to investigate the relationships between variables through direct and indirect influence testing.FindingsThe findings reveal that career patterns influence neutrality and organizational performance. Neutrality of the state civil apparatus in politics mediates career patterns and local government organizational performance. The findings indicate that, first, promotions most significantly influence the organization's neutrality and performance. Second, demotions have the least influence on the organization's robustness and performance.Originality/valueThis paper is among the first to examine the relationships amongst career patterns, neutrality, and organizational performance. Recommendations are provided to improve neutrality and organizational performance, that is, the need to increase promotions and reduce demotions.

This article describes budgetary reform policies in the era of the Covid 19 pandemic and the local government's response. This article aims to answer how the regional budgeting mechanism is in the pandemic era and the response of regional apparatus organizations to budgeting reform. The data sources in the article use the literature study method and documents sourced from the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial government and media coverage. This article finds that the Indonesian government issued a policy of budget refocusing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This policy applies to all ministries/agencies, including local governments, where local government responses are divided into two groups. Namely, some do budget refocusing, but local governments also do not refocus their budgets. The Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Government took the attitude of refocusing the budget by issuing Governor Regulation Number 10 of 2020; this shows that the regional government is responding to the direction of the central government. However, this policy of budget refocusing does not appear to have the full support of the Regional Warfare Task Force (SKPD) or the bureaucracy, which is subordinate to the governor. This can be seen from several SKPDs that maintain their budgets so as not to experience a significant reduction. This finding shows that although budgeting reform during the pandemic was carried out quickly, each regional apparatus organization's content, minor, and budget scope did not experience much change.

This research examined the role of power in increasing the choice of women legislative candidates. Women's electability has increased in the four election periods (2004, 2009, 2014, 2019) in Southeast Sulawesi. The interesting thing on the results of the 2014 election found that eight of the nine elected women legislators are the wives of four active regents, three former regents, and the governor during the election process. They are the 'new face' in the politics and previously have never become a legislative member, except become the Chair of the Dharma Wanita who are accompanying their husbands as regional heads. The reasons for women's electability in the legislative underlie this research. Through a qualitative approach, this study found that the power resources were owned by their families (money and bureaucracy) and personal abilities were also the factors of choice. In the context of Southeast Sulawesi, this study found a change in the vote mobilization strategies. Ethnic mobilization (locality) that characterized the local politics of Southeast Sulawesi had a smaller impact on the election, whereas money politics (economic resource) and bureaucratic politicization (normative) had a strong impact on the voters. This study enriches the findings in the vote mobilization strategies, namely the combination of locality/friends-neighbors (ethnicity), money and bureaucracy as the factors of politicians' electability.

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi keterkaitan antara interaksi kekuasaan (power interplay) kepala daerah dan perubahan suara partai politik di tingkat lokal. Tulisan ini mengambil kasus perubahan suara Partai Nasional Demokrat (NASDEM) di Kabupaten Muna Barat, dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) di Kota Kendari pada pemilu 2019. Tulisan ini bertujuan menguraikan praktek interaksi kekuasaan kepala daerah, serta menjelaskan dampak interaksi kekuasaan terhadap perubahan suara partai politik. Tulisan ini menemukan kepala daerah melakukan interaksi kekuasaan untuk mempengaruhi aparat sipil negara (ASN), mempengaruhi masyarakat, mempengaruhi camat, lurah dan kepala desa dan mempengaruhi partai politik. Permainan kekuasaan yang diperankan kepala daerah sangat efektif dalam meningkatkan jumlah kursi dan memenangkan partai politik pada pemilu 2019. Partai NASDEM Kabupaten Muna Barat yang didukung oleh Bupati berhasil memenangkan Pemilu dan meningkatkan perolehan kursi legislatif dari 2 menjadi 9 kursi (kenaikan 350 %). PKS Kota Kendari yang dipimpin Walikota Kota Kendari berhasil memenangkan Pemilu dan menaikan perolehan kursi dari 4 menjadi 7 kursi (kenaikan 75 %). Peningkatan suara dua partai ini berhasil mendudukan kadernya sebagai Ketua Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah, jabatan yang belum pernah diraih sebelumnya. Pencapaian ini merupakan prestasi yang sangat spetakuler.
