Diah Fatma Sjoraida, Dede Mariana, Rully Khairul Anwar

Abstract


This study examines the processes of political education on the activities of the Regional Representatives Council in serving to channel aspirations of the people in West Java, Indonesia. West Java province is an autonomous regional authority to regulate and manage the interests of the public and government affairs based on the aspirations of society. This study uses a qualitative approach for getting a natural setting in which there is many behaviors and events to discover. This study also uses institutional theory to lead the researchers to the structure, regulation and institutional procedures that could have a significant impact on public policy and should not be ignored in political education. Through education, the study finds that in order to carry out their functions as elected representatives, the members of the provincial council always make themselves available to the public. To that end, the members of the provincial council, among other things, absorb and collect the aspirations of the constituents through regular working visits; accommodate and follow their aspirations and grievances; and provide moral support and political accountable to the constituents. This is a political education for the community, especially the constituents and commoners.
