Dalam perkembangan politik hukum kontemporer, keputusan politik dalam pembentukan regulasi sering dihadapkan pada dua persoalan sekaligus yang saling berhadapan. Konfigurasi politik dalam pembentukan Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017, partai politik di parlemen tidak hanya merepresentasikan kepentingan politiknya, tetapi juga dihadapkan pada keharusan mengakomodir putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 14/PUU-XI/2013 sebagai koreksi keputusan politik yang otoriter. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif dengan metode kualitatif, studi ini menitikberatkan pada pemahaman komprehensif yang meliputi interaksi politik dan hukum dalam terciptanya konfigurasi politik hukum pemilu. Hasil studi ini dapat menjelaskan kepatuhan partai politik terhadap hukum dalam menciptakan konfigurasi politik di parlemen, namun di sisi lainnya lemahnya partai politik dalam membangun koalisi dalam mewujudkan sistem pemilu demokratis justru menjadikan keputusan politik yang dipilih menjadi otoriter dalam pelaksana teknisnya. Kehadiran hukum dalam perkembangan konfigurasi politik kontemporer, dapat menjadi paradigma baru dalam terciptanya konfigurasi politik demokratis yang pada akhirnya terbentuknya hukum pemilu yang demokratis.In the development of contemporary political laws, political decisions in regulatory formation are often confronted with two issues at once facing each other. The political configuration in the Law No. 7 year 2017, political parties in parliament not only represent political interests but also face the necessity to accommodate the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 14/ PUU-XI/2013 as a correction of authoritarian political decisions. This research is normative juridical research with qualitative method. The results of this study can explain the compliance of political parties to the law in creating the political configuration in parliament. Yet on the other hand, the weakness of political parties in building coalitions in realizing the democratic election system makes the selected political decision become authoritarian in its technical execution. The presence of law in the development of contemporary political configuration can be a new paradigm in creating democratic political configuration which ultimately the formation of democratic law of elections.

Gender Quota

This paper intends to explore the “backlash“   impact of gender equality policies such as gender quotas in the shape of the resistance, provoked by male parliamentarians against their female colleagues. Such resistance exists in different shapes, such as sexist remarks, intimidation, or harassment. It is important to understand the nature and the motive behind such violence, and the effect of this violence on the performance of women legislators. The study is primarily based on semi-structured interviews with 15 female members of the National Assembly of Pakistan. It is evident from the findings of the paper that patriarchy, socio-economic structures, and the political power configurations are key elements that lead to this type of violence and it is not peculiar to only women elected on reserved seats.

Political parties are considered gatekeepers for women’s access to political positions, as they play an important role in institutionalizing women’s inclusion in politics. Ensuring that political parties in Sudan play an active role in the advancement of gender equality and the enhancement of women’s political participation is particularly important as Sudan prepares for its transition to democracy. This Report examines political parties’ internal policies and structures and their impact on women’s access to positions of power and decision-making at all levels, starting from within the political parties themselves. By scrutinizing parties’ constitutions, manifestos and various policy documents, the report highlights how women participate in political parties and the extent to which political parties support gender equality.

 Resumen. La desigualdad existente en el acceso de mujeres y hombres a los cargos políticos, tanto institucionales como en el seno de los partidos políticos, hace necesario plant­earse las causas de la situación para analizar las posibles vías de mejora. Tradicionalmente, se ha puesto el foco de atención en las políticas y medidas tendentes a la democracia paritaria, mejorando las condiciones de acceso a la política institucional y estableciendo cuotas de gé­nero en las instituciones. Sin embargo, a pesar de que la situación mejora tímidamente, no es el único problema con el que nos encontramos para alcanzar la igualdad en este ámbito. Porque el problema ya no es sólo que las mujeres no llegan a los espacios de poder político, sino que cuando llegan no permanecen en ellos.Una de esas posibles causas puede ser derivada de las resistencias que las mujeres en­cuentran al acceder, o intentarlo, a cargos políticos y que se manifiesta a través de una forma específica de violencia contra las mujeres: la violencia o acoso en el ámbito político.Para tratar esto, será necesario atender a la experiencia que nos llega desde América Latina, donde se viene trabajando esta forma específica de violencia desde hace varios años y puede aportarnos datos de interés y resultados que deberemos tener en cuenta para abordar la cuestión.Palabras clave: política, instituciones, violencia, acoso, mujeres.Abstract. The existing inequality in the access of women and men to political positions, in the institutions and in the political parties, makes necessary to consider the causes of the situation, in order to analyse the possible ways of improvement. Traditionally, the focus has been on policies and measures aimed at parity democracy, improving the conditions of access to institutional politics and establishing gender quotas in institutions. However, even though the situation improves timidly, it is not the only problem that we face to achieve equality in this area. Because the problem is not only that women do not reach the spaces of political power, but when they arrive they don’t remain.One of these possible causes can be because of the resistances that women find when they access, or attempt, to hold political charges and manifests itself through a specific form of violence against women: violence or harassment in politics.To study this, it will be necessary to address the experience that comes to us from Latin America, where this specific form of violence has been worked for several years and can pro­vide us with interesting data and results that we must take into account to address the issue.Keywords: politics, institutions, violence, harassment, women.

Considering the development of various regional regulations in West Sumatra, there are some things that need to be noted. First, the desire to make regional regulations consuisting sharia is more dominated by the desires of certain political parties. It is not supported by other government agencies in the form of existing local regulation follow-up even though the political party always claims that the regulation is the desire of the wider community. Consequently, it is difficult to reject the impression that the presence of these regulations is solely for the political interests of parties, or the interests of heads of government. Second, the emergence of these regulations is highly determined by the figures driving the emergence of these regulations. So, when they are no longer in their positions, then the attention to the implementation of these regulations is reduced or nonexistent. Third, there are differences of opinion or understanding among regional leaders that overcoming the problem of poverty, problems in education and the economy is far more important than just making sharia regulations. As a result of the accumulation of these three things, the momentum of the emergence of the need for sharia regulations often appears and then disappears and then reappears following certain events in the community; like in the month of Ramadan or other Islamic celebrations.

Chapter 1 introduces the concept of violence against women in politics and considers why violence against women in politics has remained hidden for so long. Testimonies from politically active women point to four reasons. Some women normalize violence as part of the political game and thus simply do not perceive it as a “problem” (a cognitive gap). Others recognize that violence is not an acceptable cost of political engagement, but nonetheless remain quiet to protect their political careers and/or their political parties (a political gap), or to avoid scorn or blame from others for purportedly bringing the abuse upon themselves (a receptivity gap). A final group would speak out but feels there is no one to tell or no adequate language to describe their experiences (a resources gap). The chapter concludes with an overview of the volume.
