| Research Abstract |
The fall of Suharto in 1998 has changed the politico-economic structure with the introduction of democratization and decentralization. This project has the aim to investigate this change, focusing on the local level. Each researcher has made researches on local politics in his own research area and the project has also collected the sociological profiles of local elites in collaboration with the Center for Political Sciences, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). By the end of March 2008, we have successfully collected the data on 3455 local parliamentarians in 95 districts/cities and one province out of 464 districts/cities and 33 provinces in Indonesia (around 20.5%). With the institutional change of local head election system from the indirect one to the direct one in 2004, it is assumed that the sociological profiles of local head have changed significantly, so we have collected the data on the candidates of local heads and local vice heads in 64 areas out of 297 local areas where the local head elections were implemented by early 2008. One thing that we can say cleare at the moment is the fact that the Islamist welfare justice party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera, PKS) rose its influence rapidly. PKS got the support from the urban middle class at first, but Later on the party successfully widened its political power base even to the rural area. This success is partly caused by their emphasis on the clean and good governance based on the Islamic ethics and partly by the proper selection of local head and vice head candidates. PKS chose famous and popular persons as candidates.
