CONTENTIOUS POLITICS: STRATEGI INTERNAL DAN EKSTERNAL MOBILISASI GERAKAN SOSIAL DALAM KOALISI

Khalis Asyifani

Abstract

Social movements are one of the civil society entities that play an essential role in triggering elite responses to fulfill their responsibilities for the welfare of citizens. We can call various collective activism carried out by these social movements as a contention. This research analyzes internal and external strategies in the dynamics of movement mobilization by the Koalisi Serius Revisi UU ITE, which can create contentious political episodes. Several previous researches in Indonesia have outlined the internal and external strategies that influence the success of a single movement. However, no one explained that movement collaboration is vital in creating sustainable conflict. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. This research chose five key informants by purposive sampling and did in-depth interviews, and supplemented with secondary data by documents and literature. The data obtained was elaborated using Sidney Tarrow's contentious politics perspective and resources mobilization by Edward, McCarthy, and Mataic. The first research finding is related to the importance of internal strategies with resource expansion, and external strategies with the management of threats and opportunities in the process of mobilizing social movements. The second finding shows that collaboration in social movement networks can strengthen the quality of collective contention and encourage the formation of contentious, sustainable political episodes.

Abstrak

Gerakan sosial merupakan salah satu entitas masyarakat sipil yang berperan penting dalam memantik respon elite untuk memenuhi tanggung jawabnya atas kesejahteraan warga negara. Berbagai aktivisme kolektif yang dilakukan oleh gerakan sosial tersebut bisa disebut sebagai bentuk pertentangan atau contention. Penelitian ini menganalisis strategi internal dan eksternal dalam dinamika mobilisasi gerakan oleh Koalisi Serius Revisi UU ITE, yang berpotensi menciptakan episode contentious politics. Beberapa riset terdahulu di Indonesia telah menguraikan strategi-strategi internal dan eksternal yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan aksi dari sebuah gerakan tunggal. Namun belum ada yang menjelaskan tentang pentingnya kolaborasi gerakan untuk menciptakan pertentangan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, menggunakan purposive sampling untuk menentukan lima informan kunci yang diwawancara secara mendalam, ditambah dengan data sekunder berupa dokumen dan literatur dari koalisi. Data yang diperoleh dielaborasi menggunakan perspektif contentious politics dari Sidney Tarrow dan resource mobilization oleh Edward, McCharty, dan Mataic. Temuan penelitian yang pertama terkait dengan pentingnya strategi internal dengan perluasan sumber daya, dan strategi eksternal dengan pemanfaatan ancaman dan peluang dalam proses mobilisasi gerakan sosial. Temuan kedua menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi jaringan gerakan sosial dapat memperkuat kualitas pertentangan kolektif dan mendorong terbentuknya episode contentious politics yang berkelanjutan.
