The book is a compilation of excellent and handpicked researches of my colleagues in the Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), scholars from other universities and students and alumni of UMY. In my lengthy years of being an educator, I have found the need to not only do research but to share my research to young and old scholars as it is through this that knowledge is enhanced and ideas are sharpened. It is through this book that researches are exposed into wider audiences and could find more potential to be used for further research and other educational purposes it may serve. It is the calling of an educator to find avenue for knowledge sharing to continually be ignited through the quest of doing research and publishing researches. It is through this that the social world is more questioned, analyzed, and more understood, but more to that, it is an intergenerational responsibility to the youth and the students to provide them an array of excellent and relevant works that could be food for their thoughts and could feed their cognitive and analytical appetite. I hope that this book could find its use in the academic sphere and could inspire more researches and more minds as there are more phenomena that needs to be analyzed and more issues to be delved in. v vi Contents Preface ........................................................................................................... v Contents ......................................................................................................vii Introduction: Is Indonesia Moving toward Democratic Governance? .................................ix Part One: Local Politics and Election .................................................... 1 Chapter 1 From Riots to Revolution: Seeing Democratization in Indonesia and Malaysia David Efendi ............................................................................. 3 Chapter 2 The Voice of Islamic Party tn Indonesia: The Case Of The Indonesia’s 2014 General Election Zuly Qodir ............................................................................... 35 Chapter 3 The Factors Determining Voter’s Participation in Bantul Regency Elections Suranto, Tunjung Sulaksono and Awang Darumurti ............ 57 Chapter 4 Resistance to Forest Management Policies: A Study on Orang Rimba in Jambi Province Muhammad Yusuf and Zuly Qodir ...................................... 71 Part Two: Public Service Reform .......................................................... 95 Chapter 5 Analysis of Community Satisfaction Index on Integrated Licensing Service Agency of Tegal Regency of Central Java Province, Indonesia Suranto, Rendra Setyadiharja, Arif Zainudin and Sri Sutjiatmi ..................................................................... 97 Chapter 6 The Implementation of Minimum Service Standards in the Field of Health in Baubau City Regional Hospital (RSUD): A Case Study of SPM Referral Services in Baubau City Regional Hospital Suranto, Dyah Mutiarin, and Rahmat Dedi Saputra .......109 vii Part Three: Governance and Leadership ...........................................131 Chapter 7 How Do Islam and Good Governance Address Public Issues?

Dyah Mutiarin and Queeny Pearl Tomaro Indonesia is the third largest democratic state in this planet after India and America. Today, it is nearly reaching two decades of its democratization wave since 1998. Applying Huntington’s (1991) theory on the democratization stage, Indonesia has passed the authoritarian regime and the installation of a democratic regime. Most scholars concur that the development of democratization in Indonesia today is going to move slowly towardconsolidation. It is deduced that it has a lot of progresses, but it is still fraught with many weaknesses (Hefner,2000; Abuza,2007; Abdulbaki,2008; Bünte and Ufen, 2009; Ufen,2009; Hefner, 2009a, 2009b; Mujani and Liddle, 2009; Hilmy,2010; Aspinall,2010; Liddle, 2013; Aspinall,2013; Liddle and Mujani,2013;Winters,2013; Suseno, 2013; Mietzner;2014).Other scholars gave different labels to Indonesia: “a normal country” (Ragame, 2007), “oscillating between a defective and an embedded democracy” (Hadiwinata and Schuck, 2007), “domain democracy” (Merkel, 2007), “low-quality democracy” (Mietzner, 2009) and “democratic state” in 2010 and “semi-democratic” in 2014 (Freedom House). These distinctive epithets denote to the fact that democracy in Indonesia is in the scenario of stability (Merkel and Croissant, 2004: 207-211) where it is unlikely to suffer a regression or rollback, but its developments have slow paces towardan embedded democracy for years to come. Nevertheless, Freedom House in 2010 already called Indonesia as the most consolidated democracy in Southeast Asia. In 2014, Indonesia is still a leading state for political rights category in Southeast Asia. In accordance with this, the political system within the country and its public management play a vital responsibility in underpinning governance processes. ix This book attempts to explain the development and dynamics of democratic governance in contemporary Indonesia whether in the national or local levels. In the national context, some articles elaborate on distinctive issues related with election, political parties, comparative democracy, disaster management and religious perspective in addressing public issues. Meanwhile, public management issues such as health, licensing, forest management, mayoral leadership, investment and e-procurement are also provided in this book and, of course, they are really appealing to be read and criticized further. The writers have great ability in presenting in- depth analysis and precise methods in different areas. In Java, the acticles also presented local cases in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta City and Tegal Regency. In the eastern Indonesia, one article can provided a local case in Baubau, a city in Southeast Sulawesi. In short, this book can represent national and local governance from different parts of Indonesia. More specifically, there are three main parts that are provided in this book. First is portraying the local politics and election. Second is explaining public service reform. Third is depicting on governance and leadership. All of the articles which are presented in this book are based on in-depth research with distinctive methodologies. Most of them are dominated by field researches. The writers are from academic environments. They are Indonesian citizens particularly lecturers and graduate students in Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), STISIPOL Nurdin Hamzah Jambi, STISIPOL Raja Haji Tanjungpinang Kepulauan Riau Province, Raja Ali Haji Maritime University Kepulauan Riau Province and Pancasakti University Tegal. The part one has four articles which analyze national and local politics in Indonesia. The explanation in this part is started by David Efendi with his article title on “From Riots to Revolution: Seeing Democratization in Indonesia and Malaysia”. The article depicts the development of the democratization wave in Indonesia and Malaysia where revolution and riots are still high within these two countries. It is important to note that Indonesia is politically developed, but economically less developed. Meanwhile, Malaysia has a growing economy, but political freedom and democracy are less developed.
