“…Partly as a consequence of this history, the major political parties that have competed in elections have been non-programmatic, differentiating themselves primarily by whether they are religious or nationalist (Aspinall, 2005;Mietzner, 2008;Tomsa, 2010;Ufen, 2008). In addition, several parties are dominated by Suharto-era elites; indeed, some of the newer parties were established by oligarchs as a means to defend their power and wealth (Robison and Hadiz, 2004;Winters, 2014). In fact, thus far, only one major party has tried to establish a labour base, and this effort was fleeting.…”

Under what conditions do trade unions in divided labour movements cooperate? Does cooperation in one domain increase the likelihood of cooperation in the other? Do institutions facilitate or discourage cooperation? We explore these questions through an examination of collective action across federation and confederation lines in post-Suharto Indonesia. Using a comparison of union cooperation in the policy and electoral domains, we demonstrate that tripartite wage-setting institutions have played a central role in facilitating collective action in the policy domain, encouraging unions to look beyond shop-level issues to policy issues identified by their respective national organizations as affecting workers. The relative absence of collective action across organizational divides in the electoral domain, meanwhile, can be explained by the institutional context, which creates higher barriers to unions working together.

“…Apakah kebijakan yang dibuat benar-benar berasal dari aspirasi masyarakat? Karena jika tidak terjadi demikian, praktik-praktik oligarki (Winters, 2004(Winters, , 2014Robinson & Hadiz, 2004), elitisme (Buehler, 2014) memang benar-benar terjadi didalam proses pembuatan kebijakan kita dari level nasional hingga daerah.…”

ABSTRAKPenerapan mekanisme Direct Popular Checks dinilai akan menjadi solusi bagi Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD) Kota Malang dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan penyerapan aspirasi maupun peningkatan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pembuatan peraturan daerah. Permasalahan DPRD Kota Malang diantaranya minimnya pengetahuan dan tingkat kehadiran masyarakat dalam reses. Dengan mekanisme Direct Popular Checks, masyarakat Kota Malang akan mendapatkan akses seluas-luasnya dalam pembuatan peraturan daerah, khususnya pada tahap perencanaan dan pengawasan. Hasilnya tentu saja adalah peraturan daerah Kota Malang yang responsif, bukan peraturan daerah yang bersifat otonom ataupun represif. Karena peraturan daerah yang responsif adalah peraturan daerah atau hukum yang langsung diinisiatif oleh masyarakat Kota Malang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan publik mereka sendiri.Pada akhirnya jika mekanisme Direct Popular Checks bisa diterapkan, maka DPRD Kota Malang bisa murni sebagai lembaga representasi masyarakat Kota Malang.Kata kunci: Direct Popular Checks, DPRD, Penyerapan Aspirasi dan Partisipasi Masyarakat.

The dynamics of women participation in legislative institution of Bangkalan was significantly degrading. The result of 2014 legislative election in Bangkalan was "zero" which means there were no women winning the votes, the only regency in East Java which does not have any women representatives. Culture, religious interpretation and understanding, pattern of leadership, and structured patriarchy become its cause. These results are not in line with the Law which has regulated 30% quota. This paper aimed to explains the regulation related to women participation in legislative institution and the strategies to improve it in Bangkalan regency. The method of this paper is using socio-legal approach by combining legal research and non-legal research (textual and contextual).
