Islamic Social Movements, Political Reform, Secular GovernanceAbstract
This study investigates the influence of Islamic social movements on political reform in Indonesia, focusing on how these movements interact with the country's democratic processes. Through a qualitative methodology that includes case studies, comparative analysis, and content analysis, the research highlights the diverse strategies employed by various Islamic organizations, such as Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia. Findings reveal a complex landscape where moderate movements advocate for welfare and pluralism while conservative factions push for stricter adherence to sharia law. The study further examines regional variations in the impact of these movements and the role of demographic factors in shaping public support. Government responses to these movements, ranging from collaboration with moderates to restrictions on radical groups, illustrate the ongoing tensions between religious influence and secular governance in Indonesia. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between Islamic movements and political reform, emphasizing the need for inclusive policies that respect both democratic ideals and religious diversity.References
