OLIGARKI DAN KEKUASAAN OLIGARKI POLITIK: PERTEMUAN KEPENTINGAN BISNIS DAN KEPENTINGAN POLITIK DI KOTA BANJAR JAWA BARAT

Abstract

Political oligarchy occurs among business people who are directly involved in politics in Banjar City. There are political positions related to business people as mayor and deputy mayor, and the Banjar City Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD). Business people play a role in the administration of Banjar City government. This gives rise to business and political interests. Therefore, there is a question regarding the motives of business people who are related to politics, and whether political positions are able to grow business, and the public's views on business people who enter the political realm in Banjar City. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods. The results of this research show that one of the motives of business people is to expand their business, and it was also found that political positions are able to expand businesses by making it easier to build industries and companies, making business permits, auction guarantees and bank loan recommendations easier. Society has no problem with business people entering the political realm to expand their business, while being able to develop the region. However, in reality only the mayor and businessmen benefit, so development in Banjar city is less than optimal due to the lack of transparency in the development process.
