This study attempts to explore the disparity in Bangali and ethnic political cultures in Bangladesh. Methodologically, Barishal Sadar and a village under this Upazila and a para of Rakhine community at Kalapara thana in Patuakhali district were taken as a case study to conduct an analysis of the disparity of political cultures between ethnic and Bangali communities in Bangladesh. It is observed from the analysis that there is a huge disparity between Rakhine and Bangali political cultures except in certain cases. In every case, Bangali people behave subjective and participative in communication with political issues, whereas Rakhine people behave parochially except on the question of objectives of the government, political parties and political rights in this regard. It is also observed that no specific political culture exists in Bangali communities, but the Rakhine community behaves parochially in every case. Therefore, in the case of Rakhine community, the concept of civic culture is not applicable but in the Bangali communities, there are no distinct political cultures, but rather a mixed one, which is termed as a civic culture. The causes of the parochial political culture of Rakhines are their dearth of education, backwardness, scarce of mobility as well as apathetic political communication.

Televised political advertising appears in very different national political communication contexts. Sweden is an interesting case study. For many years, political ads on TV were not allowed at all. However, with the transition from analog to digital terrestrial television the public service obligations of the “hybrid” channel TV4 were dismantled. In the 2010 national election campaign, all Swedish parliamentary parties bought advertising time on TV4. This article intends to shed new light on political TV ads as a new campaign feature in a rapidly transforming political communication environment. The study relates to the concept of hybridization of election campaigns and intends to increase knowledge about hybridization processes by focusing on a critical case where one of the most adopted campaign practices worldwide is finally implemented within a specific national context and deviating political culture.

This paper examines how the dominant political parties in a corruption-prone political system have been struggling for survival (and legitimacy) based on anti-corruption crusades and the attendant supports. The study has in the process, interrogated what may constitute the core concerns of the leading political parties, in such corruption-bedeviled polities. The investigation is fundamentally, a case study of the Nigerian state. Accordingly, the central research questions of the paper are as follows: How are the two dominant political parties in Nigeria brawling for survival? Attendant to the wrestles, what is the fate of good governance in the country? The study finds that while the two dominant political parties are engaged in the scuffle to survive, a national vacuum is in contradiction, created in the area of general political mobilization. It has been posited in the paper that political parties’ legitimacies are never constructed on single societal agenda. It is finally recommended in the work that while the government (in power) may be wedging wars against the debilitating sleaze in the system, the political parties (in order to survive and retain legitimacy) must continously engage in the articulation and aggregation of politically complementary programmes and actions. This would not only lead to the survival of the parties as political entities but in a generic dimension, lead to the critically desired national growth and survival in such countries, where corruption still presents the overriding national challenge. The methodology of the paper is logical argumentation.

PurposeThe paper illustrates how accountability of collaborative governance was constituted in the context of disaster managerial work carried out by the Government, local authorities, and Maori community organisations, after the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand.Design/methodology/approachA case study detailing the communitarian approach to disaster recovery management by a nationalised Maori earthquake response network is contrasted with the formal emergency management infrastructure's response to the Canterbury earthquakes.FindingsCritical analysis of the effectiveness and failures of these approaches highlights the institutional and cultural political issues that hinder the institutionalization of collaborative and accountable governance in the fields of disaster risk reduction and emergency management.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper contributes to the accountability research and practice in general and disaster accountability in particular by addressing a more multifaceted model of ‘accountability combined with collaborative governance’ as a way to build on and critique some of the seemingly more narrow views of accountability.Originality/valueThe study presents rare insights on the interactions between formal and community level accountability and collaborative governance in the context of New Public Governance (NPG).

This article provides an analysis of Dutch election posters in the period from 1946 to 2006. Based on the literature on the professionalization of political communication, several hypotheses are formulated regarding changes in textual and visual elements of those posters. These hypotheses focus on over-time changes in the presence and prominence of the party leader and party logo’s as well as references to specific political issues and ideology in these posters. In total, 225 posters for 23 parties in 19 elections are analyzed. Results reveal that changes in visual elements are in line with the hypotheses, with an increased use of party logo, an increasing presence and prominence of the party leader, and a decreasing focus on ideology. The textual parts of the posters, however, show no or opposite trends. The results call for a more nuanced scientific treatment of the consequences of the professionalization of political communication and demonstrate the necessity to analyze both visual and textual elements of political parties’ communication.

Sri Lanka saw an unprecedented degree of anti-Muslim sentiment followed by violence perpetrated by certain extremist elements in recent years. This article primarily examines the implications of anti-Muslim violence that occurred from Aluthgama to Digana and the causes behind the violence. The article shows that anti-Muslim sentiment is manifested in several dimensions: campaigns against Halal, Muslim attire, cattle slaughter, and attacks on mosques and Muslim-owned businesses. This manifestation has resulted in violence against Muslims, causing massive damages to their properties. The study argues that fear of growing Muslim population, economic competition with Muslims, Mahavamsa mentality, and exceptionalism to Buddhist clergies, fear of Islam, and formation of ethnic-based political parties are the causes of anti-Muslim sentiment which later culminated in the form of violence. Therefore, the government needs to enforce law and order equally on all citizens and ensure a policy of multiculturalism and tolerance is strictly maintained.

The implementation of simultaneous regional elections in Kediri district in 2020 was marked by the presence of a single candidate is interesting to study more, because it is new. The main question in this research is why there is phenomenon a single candidate in the Kediri district election and how is the configuration of political communication for the emergence of a single candidate. The purpose of this study was to determine the process of the phenomenon emergence of a single candidate in the Kediri district election and to determine the configuration of political communication for the emergence of a single candidate. This research uses a case study approach by describing political facts in the field. Research informants are consisted of election administrators, members of political parties, academicians and community leaders. The results showed that the occurrence of a single candidate in the Kediri district was because all political parties provided support for 1 pair of candidates. This political fact is marked by the configuration of political communication through the recommendation of political parties from the central leadership council (DPP). Even though there has been a selection of prospective pairs of candidates at the regional level (DPC DPD), the transactional communication by candidatos uses an approach with a number of political party officials both at the regional and central levels. The recommendation of this research is to change the regulations to avoid the single candidate appear in the next regional election., especially the minimum requirement for support from candidates and the proposal to be returned to the election by DPRD members therefore would generate truly regional representatives. Fenomena calon tunggal pada pilkada serentak di Indonesia telah terjadi sejak tahun 2015 dengan 3 pasangan calon tunggal. Pada tahun 2018 terdapat 18 pilkada dengan calon tunggal hingga tahun 2020 ada sejumlah 25 daerah yang memiliki calon tunggal. Pelaksanaan pilkada serentak di kabupaten Kediri tahun 2020 diwarnai dengan hadirnya calon tunggal sehingga menarik untuk dikaji lebih mendalam karena merupakan fenomena baru bagi proses demokrasi di kabupaten Kediri. Masalah dalam penelitian ini, mengapa terjadi fenomena calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri dan bagaimana konfigurasi komunikasi politik atas munculnya calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui proses munculnya fenomena calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri dan untuk mengetahui konfigurasi komunikasi politik atas munculnya calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus dengan mendeskripsikan fakta politik dilapangan. Informan penelitian terdiri dari penyelenggara pilkada, anggota partai politik, akademisi dan tokoh masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terjadinya calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri tahun 2020 karena semua partai politik memberikan dukungan kepada 1 pasangan calon. Calon perseorangan tidak mampu memenuhi jumlah minimal dukungan yang dipersyaratkan. Fakta politik ini ditandai dengan adanya konfigurasi komunikasi politik melalui rekomendasi partai politik dari dewan pimpinan pusat (DPP). Meski sudah dilakukan penjaringan bakal pasangan calon di tingkat daerah/cabang (DPC/DPD). Komunikasi trasaksional oleh calon menggunakan pendekatan dengan sejumlah pengurus partai politik baik ditingkat daerah maupun pusat. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini adalah perubahan peraturan agar tidak muncul calon tunggal pada pilkada selanjutnya terutama syarat minimal dukungan calon perseorangan serta usulan pemilihan kepala daerah dikembalikan kepada pemilihan oleh anggota DPRD. Rekomendasi ini diharapkan dapat memunculkan beberapa calon kepala daerah yang benar-benar merupakan representasi daerah.
