Political Recruitment Research Articles

Why and how did ‘voluntary’ mass immigration of South Korean nurses and miners to West Germany occur in the 1960s and 1970s?

ABSTRACT The year 1963 marked the beginning of the mass ‘voluntary’ immigration of the South Korean nurses and miners to West Germany under the Federal Republic of Germany’s Gastarbeiter (guest-worker) policy. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the South Korean government needed to bring in foreign currency, and the West German government needed a labour force. Thus, a bilateral agreement was formed for South Korea to transfer a labour force and for West Germany to offer economic aid. This article questions why the two governments needed to justify the exchange via a voluntary recruitment policy. Theoretical insights on the recruitment of men and women during the First and Second World Wars will be used to compare what aspects regarding political recruitment remained and changed after the wars. The central arguments are twofold. First, that this voluntary guest-worker policy was in every respect a political product of its time. Second, that it was guided and manipulated by and according to the global emergence of human rights following the two world wars. Ultimately, this case can be used to examine what impact the global emergence of human rights had on political recruitment approach worldwide, specifically regarding its methods, processes and outcomes.

THE ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS EFFORT TO SIMPLIFY THE NUMBER OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN INDONESIA

The number of political parties continues to increase from time to time. Ironically, the establishment of a political party is not based on the desire to carry out the functions of political education, political recruitment, and political regeneration.

This research aims to analyze the need to simplify the number of political parties and determine the ideal simplification design of political parties This research used normative juridical research with statutory, historical, and conceptual approaches. The results indicated that political party simplification is needed for creating effectiveness and efficiency, minimizing segmentation or the emergence of friction among Indonesian citizens, preventing voter confusion, and maintaining political stability. Meanwhile, the ideal design to simplify political parties that can be executed is through submitting the dissolution of political parties to the Constitutional Court (Indonesian: Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK)) by expanding the criteria for those who can propose for dissolution (legal standing), imposing strict sanctions, implementing a moratorium on permits for the establishment of new parties, and extending the authority of the government to unilaterally dissolve political parties, such as the power to dissolve banned community organizations.

Kegagalan partai politik baru di Provinsi Jambi 2019 dalam perspektif pelembagaan partai politik

The relationship between institutionalization of party and electoral is an important theme because the strength of institutionalization is demonstrated through party performance in elections. However, the tendency in strengthening party institutionalization can't be separated from the presence of inherent figures. Some literature highlights that institutionalization is a conflicting entity with the emergence of strong figures. This article specifically discusses and explains that the problems of institutionalization and figures can intertwine each other. Because the party's relationship with the electoral arena can't be separated, the need for figures as a reinforcing variable in terms of political contestation, especially new parties in Jambi Province. This article uses descriptive qualitative methods to analyze deeply the phenomena that occur by utilizing secondary and primary data from various informants. Various data is coded, analyzed interactively and confirmed its validity then presented systematically. The results showed that the institutionalization that had been designed by the new parties was not able to produce a significant vote gain. People is more familiar with figures within the party, thus voter preferences see figures more than parties. New parties need to increase their popularity by working with figures that are acceptable to the public. At the end, the author offers how figures can appear in new parties by carrying out a process of political recruitment that emphasizes the involvement of candidates who have the potential to compete in elections.

Disability and political representation: Analysing the obstacles to elected office in the UK

Around one-sixth of the European population have a disability, yet there are few self-declared disabled politicians. Despite scholarly and political interest in the under-representation of various social groups, little attention has been paid to disabled people. This article identifies and analyses the barriers to elected office faced by disabled people by drawing upon interviews with 51 candidates and elected politicians in the United Kingdom. It reveals barriers which occur throughout the political recruitment process, from initial participation to selection and the election campaign. They broadly fall into: (a) a lack of accessibility, including the built environment and documents; (b) a lack of resources to make events and activities accessible; and (c) ableism, including openly expressed prejudices but also a lack of awareness and willingness to make processes inclusive. While people with different impairments encounter some distinct barriers, all of them have similar experiences of obstacles and exclusion which go beyond those faced by people from other under-represented groups seeking elected office.

The Legal Politics of Recall Right of Political Parties Relevance with the System of Popular Sovereignty In Dynamics of the Constitution of Indonesia

The existence of regulation of recall rights of political parties as regulated in Law No. 17 of 2014 and Law No. 2 of 2008 bring a great influence on the position of legislative members. Based on these rules, legislators may be dismissed from their positions if proposed by Political Party. This certainly brings a polemic for the people as the sovereign owner, who have chosen their representatives through the electoral process, but when chosen representatives of the people can be dismissed from his position by a political parties through the mechanism of the right of recall. This research was done by doctrinal method approach as well as the use of the statute, historical, and conceptual approach. This results showed that the legal politics of recall right of political parties is actually only used as an instrument of the political parties in controlling its members in parliament in order to always adhere to the party's policy direction. This makes the recall right political party is legal products that characterized conservative or orthodox. The existence of a political party's recall rights order gives a great authority to the political parties to negate the result of the people's choice as the holder of sovereignty for the sake of the political party. The function of political parties as a means of political recruitment in the process of filling political office in this case as members of the legislature, should have been completed after the people chose their representatives through electoral mechanisms. Therefore, it is necessary for the reconstruction of the ideal and relevant recall rights arrangement to the people's sovereignty.

The big wave of the women's movement in the world, apart from demanding rights and equality between men and women, also encourages women's representative participation in decision-making process. Previous studies often analyze women's representation based on cultural and institutional barriers without specifically showing the role of political parties in carrying out the gatekeeping activities, especially in women's candidacy. This article uses Pippa Norris' theory of political recruitment with descriptive qualitative analysis methods to analyze the increase in women's representation from Nasdem Party in the 2019 general elections. The results are (1) general election rules and political parties affect the increase in women's representation, (2) representation and women's interests have not become the main criteria in the political selection process of Nasdem Party, (3) the survey culture in the balancing of women's candidacy in addition to providing opportunities for female candidates also fostering kinship politics, (4) Nasdem’s commitment to women's representation and interests is still untested, and the most obvious is (5) as a political commodity where an increase in the representation of women with kinship political backgrounds contributed to the increase in the votes of Nasdem Party in the 2019 elections.

Do Elites Discriminate against Female Political Aspirants? Evidence from a Field Experiment

AbstractDo elites exhibit gender bias when responding to political aspirants? Drawing on theories of gender bias, group attachment, and partisan identity, I conduct the first audit experiment outside the United States to examine the presence of gender bias in the earliest phases of the political recruitment process. Based on responses from 1,774 Canadian legislators, I find evidence of an overall gender bias in favor of female political aspirants. Specifically, legislators are more responsive to female political aspirants and more likely to provide them with helpful advice when they ask how to get involved in politics. This pro-women bias, which exists at all levels of government, is stronger among female legislators and those associated with left-leaning parties. These results suggest that political elites in Canada are open to increasing female political representation and thus should serve as welcome encouragement for women to pursue their political ambitions.

Women candidates, women voters, and the gender politics of India’s 2019 parliamentary election

ABSTRACT Gender quota campaigns to increase women’s parliamentary presence in India have been ongoing for more than twenty years. Meanwhile, each general election results in the slow growth of women MPs, partly due to political parties nominating few women. The 2019 election was no different in this respect –women still make up fewer than 15% of lower house MPs. Incidents of gendered violence against women candidates also contributed to a characterisation of 2019 as a ‘toxic’ election, and will likely further discourage women’s entry into politics. One positive development, however, was two regional parties’ implementation of voluntary party gender quotas in their parliamentary candidate nominations. This article focuses on women’s political participation as candidates and voters in the 2019 parliamentary election. Parties are scrutinised as key gatekeepers for women’s political recruitment. The article also discusses the new narrative of the growing power of women voters in India, exemplified by closing gender gaps in voter turnout, and representing another aspect of women’s political engagement, potentially influencing parties’ responsiveness to women voters. The article concludes by discussing the broader implications and significance of the 2019 election, areas for further research, and prospects for women’s participation and representation in the new parliament.
