Batas Usia Capres-Cawapres Dalam Keputusan MK No. 90/PUU-XXI/2023 Dan Implikasinya Terhadap Dinasti Politik Perspektif Fikih

The Regulation on changing the age limit for presidential and vice presidential candidates by the Constitutional Court (MK) No. 90/PUU-XVIII/2023 has drawn pros and cons, with some people supporting and some rejecting it because it is considered to have the potential to worsen political dynamics, especially regarding the practice of political dynasties. Based on this reality, this study aims to assess whether the Constitutional Court's decision is in line with the Islamic jurisprudence view and to explain the Islamic jurisprudence view regarding the potential for strengthening political dynasties that may arise as a result of this policy. This study uses a literature review approach. The main sources used are the Qur'an, Hadith, the at-turās pole, and the Constitutional Court's Decision No. 90/PUU-XXI/2023. The analysis was carried out qualitatively, with a comparative approach to compare the Islamic jurisprudence perspective on age as a leadership criterion with provisions in positive law. The results of this study show that from a fiqh perspective, the change in the age limit for presidential and vice presidential candidates in the Constitutional Court's decision is in line with Islamic principles in terms of implementing policies that are beneficial. However, even though the Constitutional Court's decision is legally valid, Islamic jurisprudence does not justify the existence of external factors behind the decision, especially those related to conflicts of interest that have the potential to strengthen the practices of political dynasties. The practice of political dynasties is contrary to the Islamic jurisprudence view, which prioritizes governance and is not centered on a handful of groups. Therefore, the government must ensure the existence of regulations that can prevent the dominance of political dynasties and guarantee the election of quality leaders.

PREDICTING LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS THROUGH THE TALENTS THAT REALLY MATTER

AbstractConchie (founder and president of Conchie Associates) and Dalton (partner, Conchie Associates) explain that they apply science “to the study, application, and development of leadership,” adapted from the research in their book The Five Talents Really Matter. They discuss their criteria for outstanding leadership and point to “over 58,000 top level leaders in our global database.” Their scientific “assessment of The Five Talents That Really Matter carries a disproportionate weight, greater than all the other factors thought to be important in leadership selection, in predicting top leadership performance.” The Talents “capture the broad variability of traits, dispositions, and characteristics the very best leaders possess, and, through the Executive Leadership Assessment built to measure these talents, we are able to use the results to help predict future leadership performance.” In their words, the Talents are Setting Direction (using modern GPS technology as a metaphor), Harnessing Energy, Exerting Pressure (“Debate and dissent, we’ve found, is what many leaders claim to value yet precious few succeed in delivering”), Increasing Connectivity (“The very best leaders…are straight shooters who deliver difficult messages with compassion,”) and Controlling Traffic (“Exceptional leaders responsible for business execution follow rigid rules with maximum flexibility.”)

Was Gerry Adams a transformational leader?

ABSTRACT Gerry Adams was the foremost Irish Republican leader in The Troubles (1968–1998). This paper analyses the extent to which he was a transformational leader, shifting Republicanism from armed struggle to politics. The paper analyses three texts by Adams at milestone points in the conflict. The first (1976) at the height of the armed campaign; the second (1986) as political engagement was increasing; and the third (2003), after the conflict had formally concluded. The paper uses four criteria to signify transformational leadership. The paper argues that, while Adams does not meet all four transformational leadership criteria equally, he transformed his organisation.

Leadership and Good Governance: Catalysts for Nigeria’s Economic Growth and Development

The economic development trajectory of Nigeria, since its transition to democratic governance on May 29, 1999, has witnessed sharp oscillations under different elected leaders. While some of the leaders, in the face of negative exogenous variables, leveraged the country’s abundant human and natural resources to positively advance it on the economic development ladder, others faltered in the selected performance indices. The observed differential in performance metrics seems to point to the pivotal role of quality leadership in the economic development process. To validate this view in the context of Nigeria’s democratic experience, this exploratory longitudinal study used an expost facto research design and qualitative research methodology which involved the review of existing literature and secondary data from Nigeria and Rwanda over a 24-year period spanning 1999-2022.

Accordingly, it recommends that the electorate in Nigeria should diligently appraise political office seekers based on universally acceptable leadership criteria of competence, capacity and character, rather than the subjective criteria of ethnicity, tribe, region and religion, before exercising their franchise as their choice has long term implications for the nation’s economic development. It also recommends a review of the country’s constitution to provide for independent candidates as the structures of existing political parties have tended to inhibit the emergence of credible candidates.
