| dc.description.abstract | Roots and spirit of decentralized state administration has been older than the age
of the Indonesian state. It can be seen in the fact that some of the kingdom 's
history in the nusantara archipelago before implementing a confederation such as
Simalungun kingdom, Raja Ampat, etc. Along with the dynamics of the state, then
the interpretation of the pattern of organization of the state in Indonesia has
always adapted to the ruler’s interpretation. When the faucet of reformation is
open, it demands to put the principle of decentralization in synergy with the
political system that magnifies the application of the principle of representation of
society in areas more likely to be realized. One of the areas of the division in
Indonesia is factually Pakpak Bharat also has the similar problem. Therefore the
study of the representation of Pakpak Bharat society becomse relevant in the
local/regional Parliament to do. In general, the problem to be solved through this
research is; (1) What is the condition of development or inlet dynamics of ethnic
representation in this case represented by a local clan groups in local political
institutions?, (2) what are the things that directly affect the representation of the
clan groups in local political institutions (local parliament) ? And (3) How does
the prospect of the establishment of equilibrium in the local political institutions
associated with the representation of the elements of society, including clan
groups in Pakpak Bharat?. To examine these issues, researchers used a type of
qualitative research. The data collection process fully using observation,
interviews and document research. Each of these data collection techniques are
expected to be able to answer the problem of perpetually clear and detailed. The
results showed that in addition to identy and sentiment of clan groups, other
identities also play in the political arena in Pakpak Bharat is a religious identity.
This fact indicates that the balanced pattern formation of the clan groups
representation in political institutions more or less associated with religious
identity. Pattern representation of Pakpak Bharat elements of society in Political
institutions, especially in the Legislative Council/Parliament of Pakpak Bharat
Regency is still moving toward equilibrium. In order to avoid the adverse effects
that arise in the process of transformation of existing clan group representation in
political institutions, then the efforts to encourage all the elements including each
clan group to be actively involved in any political activity and becomes a very
important political moment . | en_US |
