| Syamsuddin Haris | KOALISI DALAM SISTEM DEMOKRASI PRESIDENSIAL INDONESIA: Faktor-faktor Kerapuhan Koalisi Era Presiden Yudhoyono | Although the concept of coalition is only prevalent in parliamentary democratic system, but multi-party presidential system scheme which is applied in Indonesia necessitates the existence of coalition among its party. The presence of Coalition is necessary to minimize the risk of political deadlock in relations between President and Parliament on the one hand, and due to built effectiveness in the government as the outcome of general election. But in fact, political coalition do not guarantee effectiveness in government administration, even on the contrary it has become a “prison” for president because opposition comes from inside of The Parliament which also part of the coalition member in government. In the era of President Yudhoyono, there are three important factors that lead to fragility of the coalition; the coalition design factor, personality factor of the President, and character of the party in the parliament. In order to Built effectiveness in government which requires restructuring the coalition form, especially related to coalition base, political nature of the agreement and contract among the members of coalition, scope of material agreement, and internal mechanism in the coalition, in the future, the effectiveness is also going to be base on restructuring general election format to become national general election (to elect President and Vice President, and members of parliament) and local elections (to choose head of local government, province and district, and members of local house of representatives) |
| Al Muzzammil Yusuf | ASPIRASI RAKYAT DAN REFORMASI PARLEMEN | Survey shows that Indonesian citizens are not satisfied with the performance of their Parliament because the Members of Parliament do not do their function optimally in legislating, controlling and budgeting. It creates a democratic deficit. Therefore, a parliamentary reformation – based on aspiration and participation of Indonesian citizens – is very much needed. The Reformation will be done through Policy Products. Some of those policy products are including issuing Law that pro-citizen, strengthening public participation in controlling process of the Executive Board and using Media optimally as tools for political socialization and communication towards Indonesian citizens. |
| A. Bakir Ihsan | REKONSTRUKSI DAN REVITALISASI KOALISI DALAM SISTEM QUASI PRESIDENSIAL | Coalition is not merely a power sharing. Coalition requires shared commitment from all parties to consistently run the consensus in governing the executive branch of government through solidity of political party in parliament. Therefore, coalition actually can be a pathway (to stability) for government in implementing the mutually approved policy. It also can be a consistent balancer in controlling government. As a matter of fact, Indonesian democratic lives, coalition is based on power distribution which symbolized with position as ministry in presidential cabinet and any others structural position in government. But the coalition is built without support of shared vision and mission. Due to limited interest, coalition would only work temporary. Coalition like that seems to become the market which merely contain unstable daily political transaction. |
| Eva Kusuma Sundari | PEREMPUAN DI PARLEMEN: BERJUANG DI TENGAH KERAGUAN | Women representation in parliament has been determined 30% by law. The 30% gender quota is still considered ineffective in voicing out the problems and needs of women and other marginalized groups. One of the root cause of the ineffectiveness is the domination of patriarchy value and norms over women in which stands that men are better handling political issues rather than women. This domination of patriarchal values can be traced back to political parties, through their commitment in giving or not giving proper and right political education, and equal opportunity to both men and women to fill in the seat of political arena, which is still disadvantage to women |
