Abstract of 1st Presentation:
Pemerintahan Jokowi – Maruf Amin memutuskan untuk memindahkan ibu kota negara (IKN) ke Penajam Paser Utara dan Kutai Kartanegara. Tekad ini semakin bulat sejak pertama kali dinyatakan di depan publik dalam pidato kenegaraan 17 Agustus 2019. Gagasan ini kemudian ditindaklanjuti dengan pengesahaan Undangan-Undang Ibu Kota Negara (UU IKN) setelah mendapat persetujuan para anggota DPR RI pada rapat paripurna ke-13 DPR masa sidang 2021-2022 yang digelar Selasa 18 Januari 2021.
Pemindahan IKN –yang diberi nama Nusantara– ini akan menjadi megaproyek terbesar pemerinah Indonesia dalam dua atau lebih dekade ke depan. Gagasan besar IKN dapat dilihat dari jargon ambisiusnya _locally integrated, globally connected, universally inspired. Presiden Jokowi punya dua tahun tersisa untuk meletakkan dasar dan memulai pemindahan IKN ini.
Paparan singkat ini bermaksud mengidentifikasi sejumlah prospek maupun tantangan utama dalam pemindahan IKN.
_Catatan: Paparan ini didasarkan pada tulisan Nugroho dan Adrianto (in review) _
Abstract of 2nd Presentation:
Bagaimana dinamika politik di Indonesia pasca dua tahun mengalami pandemi? Mungkinkah terjadi kejutan dua tahun jelang pemilu presiden dan legislatif 2024? Webinar ini akan menjawab dinamika politik di tingkat elite dan massa yang mempengaruhi peta persaingan politik ke depan. Pembicara akan mengulas konsolidasi politik Presiden Jokowi dan fenomena “partai tunggal” yang potensial membuat Jokowi tampil sebagai “king maker” pada 2024 nanti. Webinar ini juga akan membahas isu-isu mutakhir mengenai ambang batas pencalonan presiden (presidential threshold) dan gerakan penundaan oemilu untuk memperpanjang masa jabatan Presiden Jokowi hingga 2027. Webinar ini akan ditutup dengan sajian survei nasional terbaru mengenai kontestasi elektoral para bakal calon presiden dan tarik-menarik internal partai mengenai siapa yang akan mendapat tiket maju dalam pilpres 2024 nanti.
