Abstract
The Indonesian Province of Aceh holds a special autonomy to have a local political party that is expected to promote the people’s interests in Aceh. In this sense, the privileged autonomy should have to have a good governance performance. Nevertheless, it has not yet impacted significantly the performance of legislation. After the 2017 local election, two major local political parties dominate Aceh’s provincial government, which discord with each other crucially that results in a divided government. This research aims to observe factors that take effect on the performance of legislation in the province of Aceh in the course of 2014 to 2018. This study employs qualitative methods. It reveals that in the legislation process, there is ineffective communication between the provincial government of Aceh and the local parliament (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Aceh/DPRA) to legislate a local regulation called qanun . This phenomenon is also triggered by the dispute over the parliament, which is split between two major local political parties. With ineffective communication between the government and the parliament, they did not work optimally to legislate many bills in every one-year term. Divided government leads to the vacuum or unproductivity of elements of the provincial government.
Highlights
Effectivity could be identified from the expected outcome and the real output that has been achieved (Mahmudi, 2010)
In Aceh, this has been planned in the Regional Legislation Program (Program Legislasi Daerah/ Prolegda), in which both institutions have to agree on the enactment of a certain local regulation in a certain period
This study aims to analyze the legislative process that is affected by the political situation under divided government
Summary
Effectivity could be identified from the expected outcome and the real output that has been achieved (Mahmudi, 2010). The realization of the agreement has been formalized in legal norms in the Law No 11 of 2006 on the Government of Aceh This is a special autonomy or privileged right in founding local political party that the other Indonesian provinces do not have. In Aceh, this has been planned in the Regional Legislation Program (Program Legislasi Daerah/ Prolegda), in which both institutions have to agree on the enactment of a certain local regulation in a certain period. The enactment of the draft of the local budget in the period of 2015 to 2018 demonstrates that it has not met the condition regulated by the law Even though this process has involved the executive and legislative institutions
