POLITICAL DYNASTY AND PARTY INSTITUTIONALIZATION: A CASE STUDY OF PARTAI DEMOKRASI INDONESIA PERJUANGAN (PDIP) 1999-2015 BY SYIFAK MUHAMMAD YUS A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of requirement for the degree of Master of Human Sciences in Political Science Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences International Islamic University Malaysia OCTOBER 2016 ABSTRACT Political dynasty is a common practice in Indonesian politics. It is compounded by the dependency of political parties on their leadership figures. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) is considered as the biggest political party in Indonesia’s post-Suharto era. The existence of Sukarno’s political dynasty in PDIP is not only seen as part of their history but also as the identity of the party and becomes their uniqueness. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Sukarno’s political dynasty towards PDIP institutionalization and how it works with the existing liberal democratic system in Indonesia. This research is based on two theories: elite theory and party institutionalization theory. However, political dynasty theory as an extraction of elite theory is also used in the framework to provide better understanding of the concept. In this research, the PDIP institutionalization is measured by combining Levitsky’s (1998) model with the Mark Weatherall’s (2013) approach as well as Basedau and Stroh’s (2008) model. This research is a qualitative study that includes field research to seek information through observation and interviews. The results of the findings show that the Sukarno’s political dynasty has contributed to the institutionalization of PDIP. ii ﻣﻠﺨﺺ اﻟﺒﺤﺚ ABSTRACT IN ARABIC اﻟﺴﻼﻟﺔ اﳊﺎﻛﻤﺔ ﻫﻲ ﳑﺎرﺳﺔ ﺷﺎﺋﻌﺔ ﰲ اﻟﺴﻴﺎﺳﺔ اﻹﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻴﺔ، إ�ﺎ ﻣﺮﻛﺐ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻞ ﺗﺒﻌﻴﺔ اﻷﺣﺰاب اﻟﺴﻴﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﻟﺸﺨﺼﻴﺎ廬ﺎ اﻟﻘﻴﺎدﻳﺔ، إن ﺣﺰب اﻟﻜﻔﺎح اﻟﺪﳝﻘﺮاﻃﻴﺔ اﻹﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻲ ﻳﻌﺪ أﻛﱪ ﺣﺰب ﺳﻴﺎﺳﻲ ﰲ إﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻴﺎ وأﺳﺲ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻋﺼﺮ ﺳﻮﻫﺎرﺗﻮ، وﻻ ﻳﻨﻈﺮ إﱃ وﺟﻮد ﺳﻼﻟﺔ ﺳﻮﻛﺎرﻧﻮ اﻟﺴﻴﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﰲ ﺣﺰب اﻟﻜﻔﺎح اﻟﺪﳝﻘﺮاﻃﻲ اﻹﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻲ ﺑﻮﺻﻔﻪ ﺟﺰءًا ﻣﻦ 庎رﳜﻬﻢ ﻓﻘﻂ، وﻟﻜﻦ ﺑﻮﺻﻬﺎ ﻫﻮﻳﺔ اﳊﺰب ًأﻳﻀﺎ وﻳﺼﺒﺢ ﻃﺎﺑﻌﻬﻢ اﻟﻔﺮﻳﺪ، ﻏﺮض ﻫﺬﻩ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ ﻫﻮ دراﺳﺔ 庄ﺛﲑ ﻋﺎﺋﻠﺔ ﺳﻮﻛﺎرﻧﻮ اﻟﺴﻴﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﲡﺎﻩ َﻣﺄْ َﺳ َﺴﺔ ﺣﺰب اﻟﻜﻔﺎح اﻟﺪﳝﻘﺮاﻃﻲ اﻹﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻲ، وﻛﻴﻒ ﺗﻌﺎﻣﻞ ﻣﻊ ﻧﻈﺎم اﻟﺪﳝﻘﺮاﻃﻴﺔ اﻟﻠﻴﱪاﱄ اﻟﻘﺎﺋﻢ ﰲ إﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻴﺎ، ﻫﺬﻩ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ ُﻣﻄَّﻮرة ًاﻋﺘﻤﺎد ﻋﻠﻰ ﻧﻈﺮﻳﺘﲔ: ﻧﻈﺮﻳﺔ اﻟﻨﺨﺒﺔ وﻧﻈﺮﻳﺔ ﻣﺄﺳﺴﺔ اﳊﺰب وﻣﻊ ذﻟﻚ ﻓﺈن ﻧﻈﺮﻳﺔ اﻟﺴﻼﻟﺔ اﻟﺴﻴﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﲤﺜﻞ اﺳﺘﺨﻼﺻﺎ ﻟﻨﻈﺮﻳﺔ اﻟﻨﺨﺒﺔ وﻫﻲ ﻣﺴﺘﺨﺪﻣﺔ ﰲ إﻃﺎر اﻟﺒﺤﺚ أﻳﻀﺎ ﻟﺘﻮﻓﲑ ﻓﻬﻢ أﻓﻀﻞ ﻟﻠﻤﺼﻠﺢ، ﰲ ﻫﺬا اﻟﺒﺤﺚ ﻓﺈن ﻣﺄﺳﺴﺔ ﺣﺰب اﻟﻜﻔﺎح اﻟﺪﳝﻘﺮاﻃﻲ اﻹﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻲ ﻣﻘﺎﺳﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺧﻼل ﲨﻊ ﳕﻮذج ﻓﻴﺘﺴﻜﻲ (1998) ﻣﻊ ﻣﻨﻬﺞ ﻣﺎرك وﻳﺪرال (䚎 (2013ﻹﺿﺎﻓﺔ إﱃ ﳕﻮذج 䚎ﺳﻴﺪاو وﺳﱰوﻩ (2008) ﻫﺬا اﻟﺒﺤﺚ ﻫﻮ دراﺳﺔ ﻛﻴﻔﻴﺔ، ﺗﺘﻀﻤﻦ اﻟﺒﺤﺚ اﳌﻴﺪاﱐ ﻟﻄﻠﺐ اﳌﻌﻠﻮﻣﺎت ﻣﻦ ﺧﻼل اﳌﺮاﻗﺒﺔ واﳌﻘﺎﺑﻠﺔ، وﻗﺪ أﻇﻬﺮت ﻧﺘﺎﺋﺞ اﻟﺒﺤﺚ أن ﺳﻼﻟﺔ ﺳﻮﻛﺎرﻧﻮ اﻟﺴﻴﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﺗﺴﺎﻫﻢ ﰲ ﻣﺄﺳﺴﺔ ﺣﺰب اﻟﻜﻔﺎح اﻟﺪﳝﻘﺮاﻃﻲ اﻹﻧﺪوﻧﻴﺴﻲ.
