Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the digital revolution on freedom of expression and civic space in Nigeria, particularly examining the role of social media regulation in the country's shift towards autocratization. Employing secondary data sources, the research focuses on key variables, including the government's approach to online content regulation, social media shutdowns, and capacity to regulate online content. The analysis reveals that the government's attempts to control the new media space go beyond silencing the press to outright repression, leading Nigeria towards authoritarianism characterized by reactionary tendencies. Moreover, the study finds that the combination of excessive social media regulation, a suppressed judiciary, and a weakened legislature may result in authoritarian rule in Nigeria. The paper concludes that disobedience to court orders and the use of state institutions against political opposition contribute to the erosion of democracy, highlighting the importance of a balanced approach to social media regulation to protect freedom of expression and maintain a democratic society.

Abstract

This study reveals a decline in democratic standards in G20 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for dialogue and collaboration to address these challenges. In this research, we employed a descriptive qualitative research design, involving data collection from various sources and analyzing trends in the Democracy Index scores of G20 countries between 2020 and 2021. Additionally, we conducted case studies and expert interviews to understand the pandemic's impact on democratic standards in G20 countries. The G20 Summit offers an opportunity to support democratic principles when addressing global issues, such as sustainable energy transition, digital transformation, and global health governance. Civil society organizations and C20 meetings play a crucial role in enhancing democracy in G20 countries by promoting transparency, accountability, and citizen participation. The research findings emphasize the importance of addressing the decline in democratic standards among G20 countries, with the G20 Summit in Bali serving as a platform to strengthen democratic values and develop more inclusive and effective policy responses.

Abstract

This article investigates the dilemma faced by the ASN in maintaining neutrality amidst political dynamics, particularly during regional head elections (Pilkada) in Indonesia. The study explores the ASN's susceptibility to being exploited for electoral purposes and evaluates how they maintain neutrality according to laws and regulations. Additionally, the article discusses the challenges ASN faces in adhering to the principle of neutrality and potential solutions to these problems. By examining data from the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN) and the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) concerning violations of ASN neutrality, the study identifies factors that contribute to ASN involvement in local political contests and the resulting neutrality breaches. The study also underscores the worrisome situation concerning the integrity and neutrality of Indonesia's ASN in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities. The three identified phenomena—position buying and selling, instant career pursuit, and kinship culture or spoil system—indicate political intervention in bureaucracy, resulting in the appointment of incompetent individuals and reduced public service quality. The concerning situation regarding ASN's integrity and neutrality highlights the need for further efforts in implementing bureaucratic reform and strengthening the merit system in Indonesia.
