A retrospective look at the first 100 days of the Prabowo-Gibran administration also serves as a crucial moment to assess the new direction of Indonesia's politics and development. During this period, public expectations for tangible change and national advancement continue to rise, aligned with the policy programs proposed by this new leadership duo.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This working paper is a compilation of scholarly articles that critically examine public aspirations, work programs, challenges, and opportunities faced by the new administration, utilizing current perspectives and theories in political sociology. Furthermore, this book aims to provide an in-depth understanding based on aspirations gathered through direct interviews with professionals from various fields, conducted by students of Sociology at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Atma Jaya University Yogyakarta (FISIP UAJY), particularly participants of the Political Sociology course. This political sociology research workbook serves as a critical reflection on the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities that characterize the early phase of the Prabowo-Gibran administration, highlighting various aspects through the lens of contemporary political sociology theory.</p> Stefanus Nindito Copyright (c) 2025 Working Papers https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/12771 Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700 https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/12772 <p><em>This mini-survey aims to describe public expectations for the post-2024 election government through the perspectives of online motorcycle taxi drivers. Using a qualitative approach, the mini-survey interviewed ten informants aged 21-51 in Yogyakarta and Surakarta. The informants came from diverse educational backgrounds and worked for online transportation companies such as Gojek, Maxim, and Shopee. The interview results indicated that the primary expectations of these online motorcycle taxi drivers were economic improvement, lower prices for basic necessities and fuel, legal protection for informal workers, equitable distribution of education and healthcare, and support for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM). They also highlighted issues such as corruption, development inequality, and the effectiveness of major programs such as free lunches (makan siang gratis) and the relocation of the national capital. Within the framework of Robert D. Putnam's theory of political participation, online motorcycle taxi drivers can be categorized as a politically interested public. They actively observe national issues but are not directly involved in formal politics. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding the voices of workers as a representation of public aspirations in the democratic process.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p> </p> Lintang Joanita Prahastuti, Selvina Pepina Erika Asah, Debora Devinda Kevas, Mayang Brilian Prasetyo, Valentinus Dhemas Kusuma Dewa Copyright (c) 2025 Working Papers https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/12772 Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700 https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/12775 <p>This study examines rickshaw drivers' expectations for the new government following the 2024 elections. Through in-depth interviews with ten informants in Yogyakarta, it was found that they hope the new government will be clean, just, and pro-poor. The informants highlighted the importance of developing the tourism sector, supporting micro-enterprises, and continuing the social-aid programs of the previous regime. They also proposed digitizing rickshaw to adapt to the digital transportation market. Furthermore, regarding the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045, although most were unfamiliar with the concept, they tended to be skeptical of it. The still-worrying economic and educational situation was the reason for their skepticism. This study emphasized the need for more inclusive political socialization.</p> Fransisca Kiki Lisa Lisa, Agnes Shella Rusmawati, Riani Yosefani Gultom, Estadila Tiariza Copyright (c) 2025 Working Papers https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/12775 Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700 https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/12776 <p>This study attempts to describe the views of parking attendants, as representatives of lower-class communities, regarding the new government after the 2024 elections.

The essence of democracy, namely “from the people, by the people, and for the people,” is one of the main reasons why democracy is seen as the system that best meets the expectations of the majority of people globally. Through democracy, everything carried out by those in power or the government is meant for the benefit of the people who elected them as leaders. The ultimate goal of a government is to provide prosperity and well-being for its citizens. To achieve this, leaders trusted by the people are required to make it a reality. These leaders, who will run the government on behalf of and in the interest of the people, are chosen through regular general elections.<br />General elections are one of the essential principles of democracy, aiming to rotate power so that it is not concentrated in the hands of one or a few individuals for an extended period, thereby preventing abuse of power. The winners of elections in a democratic country are those who gain the authority to exercise power on behalf of the people. Such authority carries strong legitimacy because the votes that determine the victory of a candidate or a pair of candidates come directly from the people. In democracy, it is acknowledged that the voice of the people is the voice of God (vox populi, vox dei).</p> Lucinda Copyright (c) 2025 Working Papers https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/12781 Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700
