Pilpres 2019 menjadi panggung betapa populisme agama begitu terekpresi sebagai strategi menggaet pemilih. Baik Jokowi dan Prabowo sadar bahwa menonjolkan aspek religiutas melalui strategi politik yang tepat akan memperbesar peluang kemenangan. Tulisan ini berupaya melihat karakteristik penggunaan populisme Islam Jokowi dan Prabowo beserta hasil elektoral yang diperoleh. Dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitaif yang bersifat studi literatur., penulis mengandalkan data-data yang didapatkan melalui studi kepustakaan baik berupa buku, jurnal, koran, majalah, internet dan Website Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU) yang mampu memberikan informasi kunci mengenai operasionalisasi populisme Islam Jokowi dan Prabowo. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa populisme Islam Jokowi menang karena menguatnya dukungan Nahdatul Ulama (NU) dan kaum nasionalis sehingga unggul telak di Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur serta daerah-daerah mayoritas non muslim, diantaranya Papua, Papua Barat, Sulawesi Utara, NTT dan Bali. Sebaliknya Prabowo unggul telak di daerah dengan basis islam kental (puritanisme), seperti Aceh, Sumatera Barat, Kalimantan Selatan, Jawa Barat dan Banten. Pilpres 2019 menunjukan bahwa populisme agama cukup berkontribusi bagi kemenangan kandidat politik  sehingga sangat mungkin di masa depan sentimen identitas seperti ini terus diadopsi.

Covid-19 has severe implications for the emergence of negative stigmatization of specific individuals and community groups. Due to labeling and discrimination, mental attacks cause psychological distress so seriously that it requires proper handling. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a systematic literature review on articles on COVID-19 stigmatization. This paper used descriptive analysis that 248 articles are from the Scopus database obtained by keyword Covid-19 stigmatization in the 2020–2021 time span were then processed and visualized using the Vosviewer software. The results reveal the three most dominant concepts studied: anxiety, isolation, and knowledge. The Covid-19 stigma arises due to low public knowledge, widespread Covid-19 disinformation, and lack of trust in the government. This research contributes to a description of the root causes and adverse effects of stigmatization during Covid-19 to help formulate recommendations for preventive and treatment actions that can be taken. Meanwhile, the limitation of this research is that the articles reviewed are only sourced from Scopus, so they do not have comparative data. Therefore, future studies require using a comparative analysis approach that uses a Web of Science (WoS) database.

ABSTRAKTulisan ini secara spesifik melihat implikasi serius dari rendahnya Party-ID terhadap masivnya praktek politik uang di Indonesia. Prosesi demokrasi elektoral di Indonesia bekerja dengan logika padat modal sehingga kekuatan finansial menjadi salah satu faktor determinan dalam kemenangan kandidat politik. Hal ini beririsan secara bersamaan dengan terjadinya proses deideologisasi yang berlangsung secara masif ditubuh partai politik dan pemilih sehingga tingkatan Party-ID menjadi lemah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Data utama yang digunakan berasal dari jurnal, buku, maupun internet. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa gagalnya fungsi representasi politik (artikulasi dan agregasi kepentingan) yang ditampilkan partai politik membuat ikatan kedekatan ideologis (Party-ID) dengan masyarakat menjadi begitu rapuh. Hilangnya kohesi ideologis tersebut turut andil menguatkan tipologi floating mass yang seringkali harus diikat kembali melalui pendekatan politik uang ketika momen elektoral hadir (Pemilu dan Pilkada).

ABSTRACTThis paper specifically looks at the serious implications of the low number of Party-IDs on the importance of the practice of money politics in Indonesia. Electoral democracy procession in Indonesia works with capital-intensive logic so that financial strength is one of the determinant factors in the victory of political candidates. This coincided with the de-idealization process that took place massively in the body of political parties and voters so that the level of Party-ID was weakened. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach. The main data used comes from journals, books, and the internet. This research shows that the failure of the function of political representation (articulation and aggregation of interests) displayed by political parties makes the ideological bond (Party-ID) close to the community so fragile. The loss of ideological cohesion has contributed to the strengthening of the floating mass typology which often must be tied back through the approach of money politics when the electoral moment is present (elections and local elections). Strengthening the intermediary function of political parties through institutional reform and ideological-political work is one of the strategic solutions to break the money politics in Indonesia. PENDAHULUANTulisan ini melihat maraknya politik uang dalam proses elektoral di Indonesia yang disebabkan lemahnya Party-ID. Partai politik mengalami keterputusan relasi ideologis yang dalam CosmoGov: Jurnal Ilmu Pemerintahan
