Abstract
This study aims to provide a descriptive analysis of ethnicity politics from the perspective of Glazer and Moynihan Beyond The Pot to expand Kotawaringin Province. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. The research data were obtained from observations, document searches and in-deep interviews. The results found that the desire to separate from Central Kalimantan Province made the five prospective regencies of Kotawaringin Province form a Pot. Melting Pot, which is meant here, is to be Kotawaringin. The Kotawaringin community is very heterogeneous, originating from not only one ethnicity but being able to unite for a common goal. In contrast to Glazer and Moynihan's Being America, which illustrates the pattern of ethnic interaction in New York City is eternal. In Kotawaringin, this ethnic identity is only temporary and impermanent. The collective identity of being an Orang Kotawaringin is built according to an instrumentalist perspective, namely: ethnicity is seen not only as a given value or as a result of a social construction but rather as used to obtain benefits, including federal benefits

Summary
This study aims to provide a descriptive analysis of ethnicity politics from the perspective of Glazer and Moynihan "Beyond The Melting Pot" to expand Kotawaringin Province. Sedikit berbeda dengan Kambo (2007) dan Qodir (2012) berhasil menjelaskan kebangkitan identitas etnik menggunakan perspektif konstruktivis.Melalui kedua hasil temuan penelitian tersebut nampak ada beberapa kelemahan yang dimiliki. Sementara Gustiana dengan perspektif konstruktivis nampak memiliki kelemahan pula yaitu kurang mampu menjelaskan peranan atau motivasi politik dan ekonomi dari setiap individu dalam mengkonstruksi etnisitas. Untuk menelaah masalah dalam penelitian ini tentu tidak akan mampu terjawab dengan maksimal apabila menggunakan perspektif primordialis dan konstruktivis. Maksudnya etnisitas dipandang tidak hanya sebagai sebuah nilai yang terberi atau pun hasil dari sebuah konstruksi sosial namun lebih kepada pemanfaatan untuk memperoleh benefit, termasuk benefit politik Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menelaah dan memahami secara mendalam fenomena politik etnisitas pada pemekaran provinsi Kotawaringin, benarkah ia dipandang sebagai instrumentalisme politik etnisitas
