Abstract: The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC (the Communist Party of China is referred to as CPC in this paper) Central Committee stressed that the focus is on improving the Party's leadership and long-term governance capacity, innovate and improve the mode of leadership and governance, deepen reform of the system for Party building, and optimize the system for seeing party self-governance exercised fully and with rigor. This is a strong response to Xi Jinping's speech on July 1st that "it takes a good blacksmith to make good steel" and the report of The 20th CPC National Congress emphasized "the Party's self-revolution." It highlights the significance of full and rigorous Party self-governance and the value and orientation of building the ranks of party cadres. In the new era, to carry out the Party building in government organs and ensure the construction of cadres, this study focus on the "high-quality" under the "full and rigorous Party self-governance". That is, the historical starting point and the theoretical quality of the guiding ideology of Party building is "high-quality", and the "evaluation criteria" of Party building promotes the responsibility of The Times, the quality and ability.

Implications Of Filling The Position Of Attorney General By The President On The Independence Of The Prosecutor's Office In Carrying Out The Functions Of Judicial Power

The research results show that The implementation of the mechanism for filling the position of Attorney General who is appointed and dismissed by the President has two consequences. Firstly, it opens up opportunities for intervention in the law enforcement function by the President, carried out with various motives and interests, thus affecting the independence of the law enforcement function of the Prosecutor's Office. The two positions of Attorney General were then held from non-Prosecutor professions and even held by political party cadres which influenced the impartiality and professionalism of the implementation of law enforcement functions by the Prosecutor's Office

Narrating Recruitment Model for Legislator Candidates: Is It Fair?

This research analyzes the problems of democratic and aspirational recruitment models and mechanisms for legislative candidates by political parties, aiming at formulating cadre-based recruitment arrangements that best represent democratic ideals. Using normative legal, conceptual, statutory and comparative approaches, this article argues that there are two principal recruitment problems. First, legal arrangement pertaining to methods, procedures, and requirements for the recruitment is generally absent from the statutory regulations. Second, the internal process of decision-making within the political party is generally undemocratic, owing partly to the pragmatism and power-oriented calculation of the elites within the party. Recommendation for ideal recruitment arrangements is thus proposed to ameliorate these problems. Among others, the recruitment by political parties must consider aspects of representativeness, ideological consistency, internal political party flow, development of career path-based cadre systems, and quota fulfillment. Additionally, political party cadre needs training to boost their skills in carrying out main duties and functions as a member of the Board People's Representatives

The Strength of Figures and Characteristics of Political Party Leaders in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Election in Indonesia

This paper projects that the figures and characteristics of leaders are needed in the power of political parties, especially in contesting simultaneous regional elections in Indonesia. In the 2014 and 2019 elections, Jokowi and Prabowo Subianto, respectively, were two central figures in each party. Analysis of survey data for eight Indonesian elections shows that party leadership and identity are the most important determinants of party votes in legislative and presidential elections. Political parties must correctly place a central figure in their respective parties. The central figure serves as a booster, navigator, and inspiration for party cadres. In addition, figures can also be public reference material to choose one political party, when it is difficult for people to distinguish ideology between one party and another. Nevertheless, the system, traditions, and regeneration process must run as it should. Because only systems, traditions, and regeneration will be the foundation of the future. Political parties as a large organization are certainly not enough to rely on only one individual. There must be a regeneration of leadership within the party. So, if the central figure is no longer in the party, the party can still survive to maintain its existence in society.

Reining in the Behemoths for the Common Good? An Analysis of State Control of State-Owned Enterprises and the Pathway to Better Governance in China

AbstractThe state-owned enterprise (SOE) is the most significant business form in China. In the planned economy era, the state employed SOEs to implement economic policy and to provide employment opportunities. After entering the marketization era, the state still expects SOEs to preserve the state assets and fulfill political goals, notwithstanding the governance issues facing SOEs. SOEs do not generally perform as well as private corporations worldwide and the existing literature attempts to explain the reasons for poor governance problems from many different perspectives. SOEs in China have many distinctive characteristics compared to their counterparts overseas. The ways in which the state exercises its control over SOEs are the primary reasons for creating the vital distinctive characteristics that invite SOEs’ poor governance problems in China. The three most significant problems are discussed here. First, over-politicization and bureaucracy lower SOEs’ operational efficiency. Second, the board of directors (BOD) fails to perform its traditional role in corporate governance in serving the corporate interests. Third, the comprehensive involvement of the Communist Party in China (CPC) needs to be regulated and the accountability of internal organs should be extended to the party committees within the companies. We submit that the existing SOE supervision and control methods need to be changed to clarify the for-profit purpose of SOEs. The BOD needs uninterrupted business management power and the party activities should follow party rules and company law to make party cadres accountable for their business decisions.

Национальные кадры в государственных и партийных органах власти в Нижне-Волжском крае (1928–1932 годы): подготовка, переподготовка и учет

The article examines the organization of the process of accounting, training and retraining of national personnel in the Lower Volga region during the period of the first five-year plan, when the success of economic, economic and political campaigns carried out in the country was largely determined by the intensification of efforts in the field of training personnel for the party and state apparatus. As practice shows, the authoritieswere ableto achieve asystematic accounting of personnel inthesystem of Soviet and party bodies only in 1929–1930 – inconditions of regionalization andsystemicmovements, itturned outto be difficultto generate data onthereserve of leading personnel. Aserious problem inthe process of organizing training and retraining of personnel was the low starting level of education of employees (the exception was the German and Ukrainian population of the region). At the same time, the campaign to eliminate illiteracy carried out in the region did not qualitatively change the situation – and at the end of the five-year plan, the percentage of simply literate Soviet and party cadres, often without special education, will remain high.

Dynamics of a Single Candidate for Regional Head Election in the Democratic System in Indonesia

As the 2024 regional head elections approach, strategies are needed to maintain the democratic system in Indonesia to anticipate the occurrence of single candidates. The trend of single candidates in regional head elections is a concern for the nation, as the world's third-largest democracy should be able to conduct competitive elections with at least two pairs of regional head candidates. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the causes of single candidates in regional head elections in Indonesia and to develop strategies to anticipate single candidates in the 2024 regional head elections. This research uses doctrinal/normative legal research methods. The results of this study indicate the factors causing single candidates in regional head elections are: the high cost of political campaigns, high thresholds for candidacy, and the significant power of incumbents. Strategies to anticipate single candidates in regional head elections include fostering political party cadres and encouraging public participation through independent candidates.

From Cadres to Managers: The Double-hundred Action Programme and China's State-owned Enterprise Reform

Abstract Reforming China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is a complex endeavour. Among recent initiatives, the double-hundred action (DHA) programme stands out for its ambition, especially in its aim to revamp corporate governance structures and management systems. A notable change is that top executive positions are now open to a wider and more diverse candidate pool and are no longer restricted to Party cadres. Based on fieldwork and interviews at a DHA-selected enterprise, this paper explores the DHA's impact on SOE functioning and governance. Our research reveals unanimous support among top executives for the policy, despite stringent performance appraisals and limitations on future promotion opportunities. The policy has significantly transformed recruitment, performance evaluation and remuneration within the enterprise under study. However, although top executive recruitment is no longer tied to Party membership, the Party still exerts its influence through key appointments on the board of directors.

Revitalizing The Regeneration System Of Political Parties In Building Pancasila Democracy

Problems with recruitment and regeneration systems and patterns that are carried out instantly can contribute to the community's negative perception of political parties. Political parties are more likely to recruit ready-made cadres rather than cadres who have been raised and have experienced the process of party life from a difficult period to the achievement of the party's goals, resulting in recruitment patterns and patterns of Cadre of Political Party Members who are less loyal and competent. This study employs normative juridical research. This study discovered that the decline in the quality of political party regeneration is inextricably linked to political parties' unclear ideology, problematic political party funding, and democracy that has been hijacked from the start because political dowries are viewed as political investments that must eventually be paid for with policies that are not beneficial to certain groups as capital providers. The revitalization of the Political Party Cadre System had implications for the development of the democracy of Pancasila, which includes the development of the constitutional life order as well as all aspects of life, including the establishment of economic, social, political, cultural, defense, security, and legal systems. An adequate political party cadre system includes political parties with a clear ideology, state direction in politics, an obvious curriculum and cadre, trainers, guidelines, and, finally, a system for tracking and assessing progress. Aside from that, the implications of the cadre of members of the candidate pair have 4 (four) impacts in the cadre system: the first is that party cadres have sufficient competence to carry out their duties; the second has devotion while being a party cadre and a good track record while active in the political party; the third has achievements, dedication, discipline, loyalty, and irreproachable (PD2LT); and the fourth meets the provisions required by law. The novelty of this research lies in the quality of democracy which is only placed on the electoral candidate pair or the power of the candidate pair's political dowry to be able to buy the electorate, but the quality of democracy needs to be placed on the ideology of the political party, the state's direction in politics, clear curriculum and cadres, and trainers as such. So political parties are expected to represent society in making choices in line with the development of Pancasila democracy

Implikasi Pembubaran Partai Politik terhadap Organisasi Sayap

One of the privileges afforded to political parties is the establishment of affiliated wing organizations, which play a crucial role in fostering party cadre. However, the legal framework governing these Organizational Wings of Political Parties remains insufficient, primarily addressed in Article 12 letter j of Law Number 2 of 2008 concerning Political Parties. Conversely, within this legislation, provisions exist for the dissolution of political parties. Thus, it prompts inquiry into whether such dissolution also extends to the affiliated wing organizations of political parties. This research aims to explore the ramifications of political party dissolution on these Organizational Wings of Political Parties, employing a normative juridical method integrating statutory and conceptual analyses. The findings indicate that the dissolution of political parties inevitably leads to the dissolution of their respective Political Party Wing Organizations. This conclusion rests on several grounds. Firstly, the existence of Political Wings Organization derives directly from the political party itself. Secondly, the absence of clear-cut regulations pertaining to the Organizational Wings of Political Parties, limited solely to the Law on Political Parties, distinguishes them from Community Organizations. Thirdly, the regulations governing Wing Organizations are contingent upon the bylaws of political parties and align with the shared objectives and aspirations of a Wing Organization and its parent political party, centered around a unified vision and mission.

Analisis Strategi Partai Gerindra dalam Meningkatkan Elektabilitas Prabowo Subianto pada Pemilihan Presiden 2019 di Provinsi Aceh

This research aims to analyze the strategies employed by the Gerindra Party to enhance the electability of Prabowo Subianto in the 2019 presidential election in the Aceh Province, utilizing Organizational Theory, Social Exchange Theory, and Political Marketing Theory. The qualitative research method incorporated data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate the success of Gerindra Party's organizational strategy in Aceh, leveraging organizational structure and the committed performance of party cadres, motivating them to collectively support Prabowo Subianto. The effectiveness of the political promise strategy is evident through the signing of a political contract between Prabowo Subianto and 26 Aceh religious figures, aimed at developing Aceh Province and realizing the Free Port of Sabang to boost the economy of Aceh's communities. Furthermore, the identity politics strategy was implemented due to the majority of Aceh's population being Muslim. The Gerindra Party crafted an image of Prabowo as a devout Muslim leader who is consistent, pro-people, and engaged religious Islamic authorities in garnering support through Islamic boarding schools, mosques, and associations in the Aceh Province. This approach strengthens the relationship between Prabowo Subianto, the Gerindra Party, and the Acehnese community.

Unemployed vanguard: problems of employment of former workers of the CPSU apparatus (based on socio-political periodicals)

The article considers the problem of employment of the former party nomenclature of the CPSU as a political and social problem. The data of labor exchanges, which appeared in the public domain, materials of socio-political periodicals and a number of archival documents were involved. The legal basis for the dismissal of party cadres, strategies for finding a new social niche, the main points of social tension, as well as the opinions of contemporaries on this problem are considered. Attempts have been made to identify specific features of unemployment among party cadres, depending on age, position in the former party hierarchy. A separate problem was technical workers who were connected with the CPSU only by labor relations, but who also suffered from political decisions. It is concluded that the employment of former party workers was a political rather than a social problem, and despite the state's interest in neutralizing the political ambitions of the social stratum removed from power, the fundamental features of its former position gave rise to a number of problems, on the one hand, hindering normal employment, and on the other – leading to its close integration. in a new establishment, in a new, now economic role, which can also be seen as a destabilizing factor. It is concluded that the employment of former party workers was a political rather than a social problem, and despite the state's interest in neutralizing the political ambitions of the social stratum removed from power, the fundamental features of its former position gave rise to a number of problems. On the one hand, these peculiarities prevented the normal employment of a large part of this stratum, and on the other hand, led to the close integration of its minority into the new establishment, but now in a new, economic role.

Peran Mediasi Materialisme Pada Pengaruh Harga Diri dan Iklim Etika Terhadap Intensi Korupsi Kader Partai Politik

Corruption cases in Indonesia involving members of Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) asrepresentatives of society are still occurring. The elected DPR members come from political parties, whichare organizations where people have democracy. Previous studies have shown that self-esteem and ethicalclimate in organizations affect the intensity of corruption. In addition, materialism becomes a mediatorbetween self-esteem and corruption intentions. This research was conducted to determine the intensity ofcorruption in political party cadres from a new perspective. The data obtained from a sample of a politicalparty was then processed using a linear regression technique with the help of IBM version 22 software. Theresults show that self-esteem has an effect of -0.152 (p = 0.002) and ethical climate has an effect of-0.163 (p = 0.001) on corruption intentions. Meanwhile, materialism becomes a partial mediator ofthe influence of self-esteem on corruption intentions. Internal factors within party cadres play an essentialrole in reducing the intensity of corruption. Programs of training activities that can improve the ethical climatein political party organizations are also urgently needed, such as Politik Cerdas Berintegritas Terpadu (PCBTerpadu) organized by Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) together with political parties to realizeIndonesian politics with integrity.

The 2019 election has captured the interest of the majority of Indonesians, particularly the dynamics and escalation of the presidential contest, in which supporters criticize each other's presidential candidates. The political symptoms that were plainly obvious, especially during the pre-campaign period, were the strengthening of political propaganda such as identity politics, particularly those related to religion.

What is to be Done? How Radical Leftists Help to Solve the Problem of Personalist Party-Building in Latin America

Political leaders around the world increasingly rely on personalist parties to win elections and govern. While existing scholarship assumes that personalist parties do not build territorial organization, in fact they vary substantially in terms of organizational strength. In this paper, we move beyond existing structural explanations of party-building and focus on the role of party elites’ preferences to explain the source of this variation. Through a mixed-method approach combining process-tracing of the case studies of Venezuela’s MVR/PSUV and Ecuador’s Alianza PAIS and statistical analysis of Latin American parties, we find that party elites’ past political experiences shape whether personalist parties successfully invest in party organization. Party officials who were socialized in radical-left parties are more likely to advocate for party-building and their presence within party cadres is associated with stronger party organization.

The prevention of political corruption and implementation of the Political Party Integrity System in Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa

This paper focuses on examining the institutionalization of the Political Party Integrity System (SIPP) which was pushed by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as part of efforts to prevent political corruption in the National Awakening Party (PKB). Since the 2009, 2014 and 2019 elections, PKB's vote share has increased. The number of party cadres who were caught in corruption cases was relatively small compared to other parties. The main question to be answered is how the institutionalization of SIPP in PKB was initiated by the KPK as part of efforts to prevent political corruption? The theoretical framework used is O'Donnell's institutionalization theory. There are two stages of institutionalization; the spread of values (value infusion) and routine actions against these values (behavioral routineization). Data was collected through literature review and interviews. This research shows that the institutionalization of SIPP in PKB takes place through the stage of spreading SIPP values. This distribution is contained in Mabda' Siyasi, AD/ART, PKB Manifesto, and Party Regulations. It regulates the code of ethics, regeneration and recruitment, internal democratization, and financial governance. The next stage is getting used to the internal provisions of this PKB in carrying out party activities. PKB is one of the parties that welcomes the existence of SIPP. For PKB, SIPP is an acceleration to strengthen party integrity. Become a concrete step to prevent political corruption involving party cadres.

Conceptual Problems of Political Parties Cadre Management in the Reform Era in Indonesia

This study describes the dynamics and practices of political party management in Indonesia after entering the reform era. The hopes for the welfare of the Indonesian people towards the existence of political parties in Indonesia have not shown significant results. Political parties are still trapped by internal interests compared to the big goal of improving the welfare of society, even the party's reputation in politics tends to decrease in society because of practices that violate the norms of decency. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach From the existing data, factual problems of political parties were found. The political party cadre system is unable to build cadre capacity, there is no capacity standardization in cadre recruitment, cadre capacity shifts to financial capacity, personal motivation is still unstable and always changes when cadres have occupied legislative positions and regional heads. The organizational climate of political parties is periodic, only before elections, there is no integrated teamwork in political parties, political work in political parties still depends on the interests of cadres. The leadership role in the lower regions is not able to translate the vision, mission and policy directives of the top level leaders, the top level leadership is unable to absorb aspirations and communication from the lower level leadership. This research has a novelty that the management of political parties really needs the implementation of human capital. The human capital approach is currently still being applied to profit institutions and has never been tested in non-profit institutions, namely political party organizations. Keywords: political parties, cadre governance, reformation era, human capital, leadership
