Political Will Local Elites “Capital Locality, Legal System and Construction of Corruption Prevention in Sendang Village, Wonogiri District, Wonogiri Regency”

Abstract

The criminal law route is the most common route chosen by the Indonesian government to ensnare corruption suspects in Indonesia. But as a reality, sanctions or repressive criminal channels are not enough to have good awareness implications for corruptors. Therefore, this paper takes the point of view of capital locality and preventive corruption prevention construction as opposite sides. Taking the case study of Sentang village, Wonogiri District, Wonogiri Regency as an anti-corruption pilot village, this study wants to see the role and locality of anti-corruption village development capital. Using qualitative methods with data collection techniques such as interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), observations and documentation during April to June 2023, this study succeeded in finding that Sendang village as a progressive and processed anti-corruption village is the result of a meeting of capital locality and political will that support each other. As a process, the head and village officials work together in carrying out anti-corruption village political will. This political will is carried out by processing, fostering, growing and caring for the uniqueness of the four local capitals of sendang village (economic, social, cultural, and symbolic) through social construction and legal systems that include substance, structure and legal culture. Thus, this study has succeeded in showing the other side of handling corruption cases from a preventive angle. In addition, this study has also successfully revealed and offered a narrative of "the formation of a progressive anti-corruption environment through political will, legal system and capital locality". So that a more implication framework regarding handling corruption in Indonesia was also successfully illustrated by this study.
