Dynastic Politics: The Culture of Regent’s Appointment in the Past and Present Java, Indonesia
Abstract
ABSTRACT: This article studies on the dynastic politics in the appointment of Regents in past and present Java. The past means the era before Indonesian independence in 1945, while the present era is the era after Indonesian independence (1945-1968), especially the New Order era (1968-1998) and Reform era (1998 to date). A comparison will be made about dynastic politics from time to time. The method used is a historical research, including heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The result of this study is that in the era of pre-Indonesian independence (Dutch colonial government), dynastic politics was implemented by appointing Regent candidates from the descendants of Regents or other bureaucratic elite families. This policy was carried out in because it hoped the Regent candidates came from good descendants. They had been raised as officials, so that they can be accepted by the community. The candidates who would be appointed as Regents should have been suitable with the qualifications demanded by the modern bureaucracy. To execute, it was choosing candidates who were educated and experienced in the government bureaucracy. In addition, they must have come from reputable noble families. On the other hand, the dynastic politics at the era of post Indonesian independence (1945 to date) was not only based on descent, or blood relations, but also business networks and interest groups.
KEY WORDS: Dynastic Politics; Regents of Java; Past and Present Era.
