Vox Populi was first published in 2010 in a print edition. Initially, this journal was intended for lecturers, academics, researchers, and the general public. However, for one reason or another, this journal no longer publishes the next issue. Currently, Vox Populi feels the need to republish academic research works that are considered important for the public to know. Starting Volume 2 Number 1 June 2019, Vox Populi is available Online (OJS). On December 9, 2021, Vox Populi has been accredited with <a href="https://sinta.kemdikbud.go.id/journals/profile/8176" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>SINTA 5</strong></a> based on No. Certificate: 158/E/KPT/2021.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This journal aims to publish academic works whose main topic is Politics in the Southeast Asian Region, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, the scope of this journal includes, namely Islamic Politics, Democracy, Social Movements, Elections, Political Parties, Political Sociology, and Government.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">To improve the quality of articles and make it easier to edit manuscripts, the editor of Vox Populi still maintains the old template but changes the reference writing style to APA Style. This change began to be implemented in Volume 5 Number 2 of 2022. This was done by the editors to facilitate the work of the author and editors.</p> ILMU POLITIK UNIVERSITAS ISLAM NEGERI (UIN) ALAUDDIN MAKASSAR en-US VOX POPULI 2087-3360 <p>&nbsp;Vox Populi uses license CC-BY-NA-SA or equivalent license as the optimal license use for publication, distribution, use, and reuse of scientific works.

In the midst of the growing trend of the Hijrah movement at the national level, it is intriguing to comprehend the existence of local Hijrah movements, particularly those with movement bases in areas where Islamic sharia is applied, such as Aceh. This region is believed to have a political opportunity structure that optimally supports the continuation of movements whose central tenets are Islamic values. However, KGR shows the opposite fact. Using a qualitative approach consisting of in-depth interviews and documentation, the research reveals that although the existence of KGR is strongly supported by a conducive political opportunity structure in Aceh and the framing of Islamic values that encourage widespread social acceptance of the Acehnese people, its consistency in terms of resource mobilization is weak, making it difficult for this movement to maintain its existence. This is due to the KGR's excessive dependence on its founder, which makes the movement vulnerable without the drive of its most influential figure.</em></p> Rizkika Lhena Darwin Melly Masni Copyright (c) 2024 Rizkika Lhena Darwin, Melly Masni https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-09-10 2024-09-10 7 2 72 93 10.24252/vp.v7i2.51042
