Abstract
The discourse on traditional leadership can be seen in the second decade post-reform in Indonesia, with the strengthening of regional autonomy the dominance of traditional power is even more powerful and widespread. The cultural capital used by traditional leadership is substantial. The Kerinci community, for example, does not only function as far as maintaining and caring for ancestral traditions, but can further influence the direction of government policy in presenting peoples welfare. Democratic mechanisms that provide equal rights for all citizens to aspire to become a means to legitimize the dominance of traditional power. Therefore, this article places traditional leadership as a variable that greatly determines the implementation of non-formal and formal government institutions. Indigenous peoples are decisive in initiating local government policies. They are involved in regional development planning, then develop policy issues within local communities, and can even make changes to policies in the formal government itself. So that the models and concepts in the local elite leadership are very much needed to look deeper into this study. This study uses a qualitative approach with techniques for collecting field observation data and interviews with indigenous communities and traditional leaders in Kerinci.

Abstract
The new phase of decentralization in Indonesia started in the reformation era in 2001 and was marked by Law number 22 of 1999 then replaced by Law number 23 0f 2014 regarding Regional Government. It is undeniable that Indonesia has made a lot of important progresses in the implementation of decentralization and local autonomy. However, lack of preparation, lack of organization and unprepared local capacity caused the implementation of decentralization to be marked by various delays. Hence, reinforcing local capacities is a vital element that should be undertaken by Indonesia government to support decentralization. This study should enable us to see the state of local government capacity building and inform us whether or not the local government is capable to govern bigger authorities. This research is conducted using the case study method. Primarily, the research focuses on the local government capacity in Sumedang Regency, which is located in West Java Province. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques of analysis employed in the study. Simple quantitative techniques are mainly used in calculating statistical data particularly in measuring the local governance capacity. Most of the research uses qualitative methods. As far as data collection is concerned, this research uses official data from sources such as the national, provincial and municipal government documents, official statistical year books, and development plans, etc. Based on the field observations, the local governance capacity improvement levels during autonomy implementation at Sumedang Regency has already shown a good improvement by the capability in setting the direction and policy of governance implementation and in reducing the dependence towards the central government in setting local policy. Unfortunately, this level is not fully supported with an implementation of accountability principals and proper transparency.

ABSTRACT This aims study to analyze the implementation of fiscal decentralization, especially on Subang regional Revenue from legitimate regional income sources. This study used descriptive qualitative method. The data taken is primary and secondary data. The data collected is by conducting in-depth interviews and documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques, data analysis, and tested its validity by checking, checking back and cross checking. The results showed that Subang Regional Revenue originated from local tax revenues with a growth rate of 25.83% from 2016-2017. However, in terms of the contribution of PAD to regional revenues, the average is only 15.69%. While the realization of regional revenues is more dominantly derived from the General Allocation Fund, an average of 53.98%. This shows that the moment of fiscal decentralization and financial independence of the Subang Regency area still depends on assistance from the central government Keyword: Fiscal Decentralization, Regional Finance, Regional Revenue, Government Transfer Fund

Abstract
The presence of migrants, especially ethnic Buton, Bugis, and Makassar in Maluku has been going on since the 16th century. Initially, they penetrated economic areas, through trade ventures and service servants, such as driver, laborers, city transportation entrepreneurs and so on. In line with state policies, through transmigration and spontaneous migration, the number of migrants, including fuel, has increasingly increased and influenced the composition of the demographics of the Maluku people. In 1999 there were conflicts with nuances of religion and ethnicity in Maluku. One argument states that migrants helped trigger the conflict. As a result of the conflict, some left Maluku, some remained in Maluku and continued to live their lives to this day, including participating in local political contestations. This phenomenon is very interesting to study more deeply through ethnographic research and literature review. In the current social dynamics, ethnic BBM, especially ethnic Butonese began to explore the political area. This phenomenon is interesting and is the focus of the study in this paper. There are two questions that will be answered through this paper, namely; First, what is the dynamics of fuel migrants in the Maluku islands? Second, how they are involved in local political contestation in Maluku. Using perspective, flexible citizenship, such as the introduction of Aihwa Ong (1993, 1999), this paper sees that the theme of local politics and decentralization and nationalism, does not have to be seen in black and white, but in citizenship formation, each ethnic has a strategy and access in public space, including participation in local politics.

Abstract
One source of local revenue is derived from regional retribution, so to maximize it, the Pandeglang District Government has issued Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2011 concerning Business Service Retribution. This business service levy is regional retribution which is a potential regional levy to finance the implementation of regional government. Regional levies are collected as payments for certain services. This study uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach that aims to find out how the implementation of regional regulations on service fees in Pandeglang district is implemented. The technique of data collection is done by interviewing informants who have been self-determined by the researcher using a purposive sampling model, then direct observation of researchers at the Department of Transportation of Pandeglang Regency to better know the real conditions in the field, as well as study documentation as a complement to the data secondary in this study. Policy implementation is a complex activity with so many factors that influence the success of a policy implementation. Implementation of Regional Regulation No. 11 of 2011 concerning Business Service Retribution by the Department of Transportation, Communication and Information in Pandeglang Regency is the process of realizing the Business Services program by the Department of Transportation of Pandeglang Regency so that it shows the results in the form of Regional Original Income (PAD). In addition, the implementation of these regional regulations also if implemented properly, will affect public satisfaction and increase local revenue through the regional tax levy sector. The results of the study show that this regional regulation has been implemented well but is still not optimal. This can be seen from the lack of maximum service fees and business services carried out by the Department of Transportation, and the potential for retribution that is considered very potential cannot be fully maximized by the Pandeglang district government.

Abstract
Law Number 6 of 2014 about Villages states that the purpose of village regulation is to create an independent village. As an effort to achieve this goal, village management in Indonesia is carried out using a self-governing community system that requires apparatus that has good capacity. On the other hand, the existence of village officials in Indonesia still does not have the capacity needed to organize the government to become an independent village. Therefore, it is necessary to do a legal political reconstruction to find a solution to the inequality of expectations of village regulation and the reality of the quality of village officials like this. Political law functions as a bridge to the goals to be achieved and is strongly influenced by the social reality of society. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with the type of library research by reviewing data related to villages in Indonesia, especially village government. The results of this study revealed that only 5,606 (7.43%) were independent villages. This of course requires a solution through a series of solution policies so that the objectives of village regulation towards independent villages can be achieved so that the prosperous community can be achieved.

Abstract
Dynasty politics is a growing political phenomenon in Indonesia where Banten is one of the best cases. If at the beginning of regional autonomy, dynasty politics was only dominated by one family, now dynasty politics were formed in almost all regencies / cities in Banten. The elections should be a means of showing local leaders democratically trapped in the interests of pragmatism of political parties that tend to build party cartels. In the 2018 Concurrent Local Election, 3 out of 4 regions were filled by single candidates. The 2019 legislative elections are also a means for families who have strong positions in Banten to fill positions in the legislature at all levels: Regency / City Parliament, Provincial Parliament, Regional Representative Assembly and House of Representative. This study using social network analysis found that the 2019 Legislative Election became an arena for the formation of a new pattern of dynastic politics at both the Provincial and District / City levels. Political dynasties maintain, strengthen and expand their grip on local politics by making political parties as vehicles and elections as momentum. The circulation of local politics in Banten is threatened to become increasingly elitist and further away from the essence of democracy.

Abstract
Governance has become a mainstream since the 1990s, which is widely accepted as rapid as the unstoppable democratization and globalization all around the world, including Indonesia. Although it has been formally adopted since the 1998-s national reforms, new values in the governance paradigm are still not effectively internalized in the practice of governance in Indonesia, especially in Banten Province. A number of pathological symptoms in the praxis of local governance indicates not only the ineffective government but also the poor governance. Based on the background above, this study aims to explore qualitatively about the praxis of local governance in Banten Province, which is analyzed within the framework of Rondinelli and Cheema (2007) which focused on the interaction among local governance actors namely: regional government elites, private sector, and civil society. This research has exploratively succeeded in uncovering the pseudo-governance praxis, which is characterized by the lack of transparency, accountability, participation, public trust, and respect for democratic processes; the local leadership malfuction, the dominant role of the private sector in politics and government; and interactions among governance actors which appear to work normally, but are actually corrupted by various forms of structured and systematic penetration. Recruitment of democratic and accountable politics, the presence of an effective control system, and effective and non-discriminatory law enforcement are essential preconditions to realize authentic democratic governance, not a pseudo-governance which is so manipulative that distort the effectiveness of local government and development as well as peoples welfare.

Abstract
My most recent research has focused on the province of Bangka Belitung, Indonesia. This province has been an important global tin mining center since the 18th century, but tin has been depleted in recent years and there is a big demand for new industries to replace tin mining. In recent years, the province has begun to focus on tourism development to replace tin mining, and tourism in the province, especially in Belitung Island, is attracting attention in Indonesia. Although ethnically, the Melayu people are in the majority, other ethnic groups such as Chinese have flowed into the region as tin miners since the Dutch colonial era, which is why this province is a multi-ethnic/multi-cultural area . In this time I will talk about how local government try to develop tourism in this region by using local power. Using Informal interviews and collecting data in Bangka-Belitung islands and Jakarta, I found that the role of central/local government and local residents in tourism there. We can see how local government try to make the region more attractive by seeing some movements such as holding cultural event and supporting local residents with commodities, and so forth. Interestingly there are some differences between Bangka and Belitung regarding to the conditions of tourism development. However, both islands are now trying to use multi-cultural characteristic, like Melayu culture and Chinese Indonesian culture, in each touristic event or spot to show how their province is "unique" and attractive.Also, the mine site itself has the potential to be a regional cultural resource. Recently there are some local residents who struggle to construct a new leisure spot near the tin mine. I believe that these results provide new insight into our understanding into the development of tourism in mining area which have various ethnics in Southeast Asia.

Abstract
Changes in the mechanism of regional head elections from a representative system to direct elections gave rise to the dynamics of high political leadership succession in various regions in Indonesia, especially in West Sumatra compared to the previous period. If in the old order and the new order, the regional head starting from the governor, regent and mayor are determined by the central government, so since 2005 the head of the region has been determined directly by the people. Along with the change in mechanism, the emergence of the phenomenon of urang pandai in each agenda of regional head elections in West Sumatra. This article describes the involvement and role of "lack of intelligence" in direct regional head elections (Pilkadal) simultaneously governors, regents and mayors in parts of West Sumatra. Starting from Pilkadal 2005, 2010 and 2015. This paper will also analyze the relationship "urang pandai" in Pilkadal. This issue will be explained by a multidimensional approach, especially the branch of political-anthropology. In constructing this writing, it is built through historical methods. The role of "urang pandai" in the elections in West Sumatra was confirmed through various activities. His contribution to Pilkadal can be a spiritual advisor, political advisor and successful team. This is evidenced by the practice he did. Starting from giving guidance, spiritual advice, prayer, tahlilan, even ajimat and mass. Their relationship in Pilkada is more to accumulate social capital, cultural capital, and symbolic, compared to economic capital.

Abstract
Portal, the semi-permanent gate that usually closes at night is an object can be found in the corner of almost any kind of residential streets in Jakarta. One of the characteristics of these gates is that they proliferate in wealthy as well as poor neighborhoods. Although only a few have paid attention to the existence of the practice of gating itself in the city (Kim, 2002; Simone, 2014), indiscriminate spread of security zone in an urban setting is said to be caused by an increase in sense of insecurity that does not recognize class (Blakely and Snyder, 1995; Hishiyama, 2010), and particularly in Jakarta, riot in May 1998 is assumed as the trigger of the emergence of this fortress spatial patterns in all over the city (Colombijn, 2016 p. 15; Kim, 2002; Taddie, 2009). However, the emergence and the initiative behind this practice is still unclear in many aspects especially since such observation failed to recognize that the practice of gating is also closely related to neighborhood associations (RT/RW) that spread universally as a lowest administrative unit and may exercise informal authority over the matter of local security in their territories. This paper tries to shed a light on the hitherto unclarified trajectory of the proliferation of the Portals, which also predicated upon two distinctive yet parallel socio-political transformation in grassroots level, namely 1). the decentralization of local security that enable the dynamic formation of alley-level authority, and 2). the intensification of daily transportation in the city that bring the disruptive material and immaterial flows into residential realm.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the causes of incumbents in the contestation of 2015 regional head elections in the Central Hulu Sungai Regency of South Kalimantan Province. This research uses a qualitative method approach with an explorative descriptive type. In this study, informants were determined by purposive sampling technique. Data sources and data collection techniques carried out by interviews and documentations. Processing and analysis of data in this study through three activity lines, namely data reduction, data display and conclusions drawing and verification. The result of the research on the causes of incumbent are divided into two factors. The first factor is internal factors such as the lack of a solid team in collects support both at the campaign stage voting and counting, lack of relations or networks that are built up to increase public trust, inadequate fund campaign of incumbent candidate with the opposite candidates, the influence of the character or nature of the wife of the incumbent such as following the birth of policies in the government and the excessive position of herself as the wife of the head of the region resulting in a decrease in the electability of incumbent in the community. The second factor is external factors, factors that become a threat to incumbent candidates such as opposite candidates get support from religious leaders in the area. Most Hulu Sungai Tengah people in making political choices still adhere to the choice of the ulama and habaib. There was a negative issue made by the opposition about the incumbents leadership during his tenure. Based on this, the suggestion for incumbents who want to try again in the contestation of regional head elections not to allow the role of others in determining policies in the government and still maintain popularity and electability in the community while leading the region.

Abstract
Indigenous Peoples (Masyarakat Adat) movement in Indonesia has been linking with dynamic of state regime and its government. While Soehartos felt down on 1998, Civil Society of Masyarakat Adat was responding by created the first congress of indigenous peoples of archipelagic on 1999. Then the Alliance of Indigenous Peoples (Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara or AMAN) was formed. In the first phase of their movement, AMAN was representing voice of indigenous peoples and tension relationship between AMAN and bureaucracy system occurred due to different interest on natural resources issues. Nowadays, after 20 years of movement, relationship between AMAN and the state, through Indonesia government has been dynamic, AMAN and other CSO more collaborative with government officer and their programe, especially related with customary forest (hutan adat) issues. In this situation there is question related to position of CSO with the state, are CSO still critical to government policy or part of government. Example from formation of The District Regulation (Peraturan Daerah) of Lebak, Banten related to recognize, protection and empowerment of masyarakat adat kasepuhan and recognition of hutan adat, I argue CSO see opportunity to realize their goals to have access on tenure system in the forest area and not captured by government ideas.

Abstract
This article presents a comparative political model of Islamic societies in Indonesia and Malaysia. The political model of Islamic development was primarily determined by the ideology and the leader-s thought and strategies, although the strategy is often meant as the preaching efforts. In Indonesia, the preaching of Muhammadiyah is different with Al-Washliyah. Muhammadiyah is the Islamic society that struggling the religion purification and modern thoughts without depending to the Maddhab, while the Al-Washliyah keeps using the Maddhab as the ideological thoughts. The both Islamic societies use a holistic preaching strategy and keep their political distance against the government. This is on contrary with the Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam Malaysia (Perkim), an Islamic society that has significant role in Islamic development and preaching activity in Malaysia. There is no political distance between the Perkim and government. In fact, most of the Perlim leaders are part of the government. Those difference in phenomena are interesting to analyze especially the difference in ideology and developmental politics through Forum Group Discussion (FGD) approach. The findings showed that the difference of political orientation and leader-s thought were the main factors of the difference of developmental politics in regard with the political distance against the government which was a part of strategic development. Differently, the absence of political distance between Perkim and the government indicates their poor political involvement, because it is merely focused on the Islamization efforts.

The authority of the district / city government is limited to population registration services, civil registration services, population data collection, utilization and presentation of district / city population databases. Meanwhile, the provincial government has only the authority to make a population profile in level province. The lack of authority and responsibility for carrying out the affairs of Population Administration and Civil Registration at the provincial government level made the reason for the Banten provincial government to unite the affairs of Population Administration and Civil Registration with two other affairs namely government affairs in the field of women and child protection and the field of population control and family planning (DP3AKKB). This condition has implications for the not yet optimal implementation of the duties and responsibilities of the provincial government in handling population administration as contained in Law 24/2013 concerning Population Administration and Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 100-1077 Dukcapil in 2017. DP3AKKB Institutional Strengthening is needed through fulfilling the need for human resources who have competence in the area of population administration, especially expert in Population Administrator Database (ADB), Banten Provincial Budgeting alignments and optimizing budget submissions sourced from the APBN

Abstract
As a result of recent political dynamic, particularly after the world most complicated simultaneous national elections, Aceh referendum discourse has been echoed by Acehnese local elite. This issue has become an interesting phenomenon to be investigated as Aceh has been granted by the central government by way of a special autonomy scheme to run its government. Is it true that the local Acehnese really want the referendum? Or is it just a discourse enacted by the local elite? The current referendum issue raised by the Acehnese local elite seems to be based on the disappointment of the result of national democratic contestation rather than military oppression and prolong economic resources appropriation by the central government as experienced by the 1999 former referendum. This paper traces the dynamic wave of asymmetric decentralisation in line with the dynamic of the Aceh local politics. First, in the 1956 Formation of Aceh Special Autonomy Province. Second, the Iimplementation of the 1999 law on Aceh Province as a Special Region. Third, the 2001 law on Special Autonomy for Aceh as Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam and the last wave on the birth of the 2006 Aceh Special Autonomy as a result of the MOU Helsinki conflict resolution signed by the Aceh Free Movement and the Indonesia Government. For sure the new wave of this local political dynamic has been ongoing as the dynamic of asymmetric decentralisation which gives a new space for the politics of bargaining position of the Jakarta national elites.

Abstract
This study based on the different understandings about political activities in the villages. This study aims to prove oligarchy in electoral process to elect village leader (headman) in Indonesia is different compare to other elections at the local and national level. By applying qualitative research method and looking at the case of Tanjung village, Pagu District, Kediri Regency. The study shows that all candidates have tried to maximize the benefit of both material resources and non-material power according to Javanese values. However, the use of money and formal institutions as the basic character of oligarchy as indicated by some scholars is not effective in gaining votes in the headman election. On the contrary, the application of non-material power used by the elected headman election candidates proves as more effective to attract more votes. The source of non-material power is parallel with Javanese power derived from mystical energy of -kesakten-, and it works effectively to increase contestants- confidence in embracing the headman election. Various forms of political strategy based on spiritual power are divided into six categories: Slametan ceremony at the village founders grave, pitou services come from religious leader and dukun, ownership of heirlooms, pulung as a legitimacy of power, petungan Javanese calendar system, luri son of the village head.
