Changing Local Politics in the Democratized Indonesia

该研究项目旨在明确自1998年以来印尼民主化和权力下放的地方政治变化。特别强调收集和分析1999年和2004年大选中当选的地方议员的数据。该项目成功地收集了印度尼西亚全国近60%的地方议员的数据并收集了2004年从印度尼西亚100多个地方议会中选出的地方议员的数据。这一收集值得一提，因为在世界上还没有一项研究能够在民主化的印度尼西亚收集如此多的地方议员数据。基于地方议员数据库的分析结果已经公布。水野康介发表了一篇关于西爪哇省的文章，冈本正明发表了关于万丹省的文章，本那纯发表了关于三个省的文章。 ...更多信息 爪哇岛和南加里曼丹省的肯三市。白石隆、本奈纯、冈本正明等也发表了关于选举政治与分权的文章，三市健则论述了地方政治与伊斯兰复兴运动的关系。基于数据库的分析实际上涵盖了民主化后的印尼地方政治与分权的诸多方面。至少我们现在可以初步总结分析如下：1）来自商界的地方议员人数迅速增加。2)富人现在可以很容易地在地方一级的政治上崛起，并很容易获得政治和经济资源。事实上，这些政治上崭露头角的人中的许多人在苏哈托独裁时期就已经获得了政治和经济资源。3)一个高度支持实现基于伊斯兰伦理的纯洁和干净政治的政党是由受过教育的年轻一代主导的。（4）在专业集团党占主导地位的农村地区，年轻的潜在政治家倾向于选择没有资历制度的政党，而不是资历制度导向的专业集团党。少

This research project aimed to make clear the changing local politics in the democratized and decentralized Indonesia from 1998 on. The special emphasis was put on the collection and analysis of the data on the local parliamentarian that were elected in the 1999 and 2004 general elections.This project successfully collected the data of almost sixty percent of all the local parliamentarians all over Indonesia that were elected in 1999 and also gathered the data of local parliamentarians that were elected in 2004 from more than 100 local assemblies in Indonesia. This collection is worth mentioning because there has been no research in the world t could marvelously collect so many data on the local parliamentarians in the democratized Indonesia.The results of the analysis based on the data base on the local parliamentarians have been already published. Kosuke Mizuno published an article on the West Java province, Masaaki Okamoto on the Banten province, Jun Honna on three provinces of the … More Java island, and Ken Miichi on the South Kalimantan province. And also Takashi Shiraishi, Jun Honna and Masaaki Okamoto have already published articles on the electoral politics and decentralization while Ken Miichi wrote about the relationship between the local politics and the revival movement of Islam.The analysis based on the data base actually covered many aspects of local politics and decentralization in the democratized Indonesia. At least we can now tentatively summarize the analysis as follows : 1)The number of local parliamentarians from the business sector has increased rapidly. 2)The rich guys now can easily rise politically at the local level and have an easy access to the political and economic resources. Actually many of these politically rising guys already had access to the political and economic resources during the authoritarian Suharto period. 3)Apolitical party that highly espouses the realization of pure and clean politics based on the Islamic ethic is dominated by the younger and educated generation. 4)In the rural area where the Golkar party is dominant, the younger potential politicians tend to choose the political parties without seniority-system than the seniority-system oriented Golkar party.
