Abstract

DKI Jakarta Gubernatorial Election 2017 was characterized by the dimensions of direct violence which included clashes and beatings as well as dimensions of indirect violence which included heat speech, intolerance, manipulative and discrimination. This is different from the conditions in the 2007 and 2012 DKI Jakarta Gubernatorial Election based on rational choice. The concept of Hate Spin Cherian George states that the offense that has an impact on violence is deliberately mobilized by political entrepreneurs, which according to Clifford Geertz that identity factors play a role in the emergence of conflicts that either lead to violence or not. This case study was analyzed using a qualitative approach through the interview process, data collection and analysis. The assumption is that political violence in DKI Jakarta Gubernatorial Election is not only an agenda that is deliberately mobilized by political interests, but also grows as an individual and communal awareness of conditions that occur in DKI Jakarta and regardless of identity factors.
