WOMEN AND POLITICS OF LAW: Affirmative Action for women’s political participation

Abstrack:

This paper aimed to discuss: 1) affirmative action for women’s political equality in the Act of ?Package of Politics?, and 2) find the fundamental weaknesses and implications of such affirmative action to raise women’s political equality. The study is based on analysis of documents, both primary (Act of Package of Politics) and secondary (supporting literature, whether books or mass media). Perspective used in the study on the portrait of women and Indonesia politics of law is feminist legal theory or feminist Jurisprudence. The results of study are as follow. First, the Act of Political Package contains affirmative politics for women to encourage the formal participation of women in politics: in the political superstructure institutions (MPR, DPR, DPD, and DPRD), the political infrastructure (political party), the organizer of the elections (KPU), and supervisor board of them (Bawaslu). Second, politics of law behind Act of Package of Politics deviates from the doctrine of neutrality and objectivity of law within the framework of justice principles (as believed by the school of legal positivism), instead, leads to the construction of feminist legal theory. Third, the construction of such laws does not necessarily guarantee political equality of women, even in some degree it is contradictive to respect of women. Fourth, there are fundamental weaknesses in regulatory form and systemic one as well. Some conspicuous weaknesses are the fragility of quota figure logics, the absence of firm enforcing offices, and the lack of imperative sanctions in those Acts for any violation against the provisions of women quota. Those would affect systemically to the whole form of respect to women. read more

GENDER AND VOTING BEHAVIOR: POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY ANALYSIS FOR VOTING BEHAVIOR IN INDONESIAN

Abstrack:

There are interesting developments of political psychology, particularly in the effort of women in politic arena. Until the mid-year 2007, at least 82 women were recorded following the elections in 232 provincial-level regions and districts level. Out of the above, 26 women (30.76%) registered as a candidate for the leader of region and 57 women (69.24%), registered as a deputy leader of the region, although only eight women who are successfully elected as the leader of region and 11 elected as deputy leaders of regional (Arifin, 2008). With direct elections as happened today, making the candidates should follow the “interest” of voters. Efforts to understand the voter?s behavior, feelings and thinking do not always easy. The old ways by making a donation of material deemed not affect voters more powerful. One possible solution is the assessment needs of the voter. Fullfillness of voter?s needs is not always easy because there are differences of character between communities, genders and individuals that influence their voting behavior. Voting behavior was defined as a voter in the decision to vote for certain candidates in both the legislative and executive elections. In political science, there are two kinds of approaches in analyzing the voting behavior. 1). sociological approach. Person?s background, gender, social class, race, religion, and ideology determine the decision to voting according the approach. 2). psychological approach. In this approach, value, personal qualities of the candidates, issues which developed by candidate and loyalty to the party are influence voter?s choice. Some research shows that there exist different patterns of voting behavior between men and women. Women are more conservative in determining her choosen than men (Inglehart & Norris, 2000). The study involved 90 students (45 women and 45 men). To take data used scenarios about election for leader of region (bupati). Than subyek choose Male or female as a leader, or not vote at all. Each alternative answer to the subjects was asked to give a reason. Analysis of data using qualitative thematic and cross tabulation. The results shown that subjects who choose a man as a leader as much as 68 people or 75.56%, and who chose women as leaders “only” 12 people or 13.33%. Subjects who abstained are 11 people or 11.11%. From these results also show that women’s voting behavior, are more likely to choose a man as the leader. This could occur because women are believe that the more entitled and deserve to be leaders are men, as seen from a variety of reasons expressed by respondents, such as the existence theorem ?Arrijalu Qawwamuna ‘Alannisa? that for those respondents meaning of the phrase is an indication for Muslims that the man was “better” than women, so men more creditable of a leader, and they also hold on to reason like all the other prophets were men and the prophets had a good lead with each group, the alternative answer to this emerged from the respondents from the Islamic university. In otherside college law student backgrounds, they are more likely to choose women, because women have the ability as good as men, and women are also more sensitive to the people. read more

Rolling-sliding Contacts and It’s Applications: A Review

Abstrack:

Tribology science is one of the applied sciences in mechanical engineering which focuses on the investigation of interacting surfaces in relative motion and its consequences. This science is related to the friction, wear and lubrication which control the lifespan of the contacting system. Some of the mechanical components such as: gears, wheels and rails, and roller bearings perform the rolling-sliding contact on their contacting surface. For example in the spur gears contact, the engineer should consider the contact pressure, deformation, and wear fundamentally in order to get the best performance. This paper objective is reviewing some rolling-sliding contact model and to choose the appropriate model to be combined with the developed ellipsoid contact model. The combination between rolling-sliding contact model with developed contact model will be applied in micro-scale contact on the real engineering surface. The stick-slip regions between the two contacted surfaces acts as the factor in determining the rolling-sliding contact situation. The finite element analysis (FEA) is used to compare one of the published rolling-sliding contact model. A good agreement is found one of analytical model, FEA model and the recent FEA results. The transient in rolling-sliding contact occurs at the start of rolling contact and it is followed with the steady state situation. read more

FOOD DYNAMIC FROM THE GENDER PERSPECTIVES: THE CASE OF INDONESIA

Abstrack:

Food as an essential element in human life is closely related to gender issues. Traditionally, food and kitchen are conventionally women?s ?world?. Kitchen is the place where women could extend their power, affection, and passion to their families. Women could do those duties through the selection and serving of food. In a more conservative view, men were required to work and earned money while women were required to nurture the household and be responsible to the feeding of the family. Nowadays, the kitchen is not merely women?s zone anymore as more and more men become involved in the cooking duties because more women work and pursue career outside. The idea of liberation and democratization come along with modernization. Consequently, they also influence the order of the formerly traditional society. Like clothes and other commodities that we purchase, food also holds an essential mark as an indicator of somebody?s class in the hierarchy of society. Food we buy and eat also brings symbols which enforce our position in the society. Eating habits also represent meanings and symbols. Food can be perceived as a series of meanings, such as symbolic meaning, economic meaning, cultural meaning, and religious meaning. Food carries a collection of symbols and codes. The exchange of cuisines among societies may result in the advent of the culture of glocalization or hybridization. The term ?glocalization? embraces this blending of local and global cultures. This blend could generate new kinds of cultural practices. Foods which are originally from distant culinary cultures have been adopted and embedded into the local culinary culture. Likewise on the smaller scale, the process of ?domestic glocalization? also occurs within the Indonesians. In Indonesian?s archipelagic context, people could migrate from one island to another island, meaning from one cultural entity into another one. On their migrations, they bring along their native culture with them or vice versa, including cuisine. This circumstance, as a consequence of intermingling and acculturation, stimulates the spread of cuisine to other parts of the archipelago read more
