“SHAPING PUBLIC POLICY AND SOCIETY:” THE APPLICATION OF RATIONAL CHOICE THEORY IN INDONESIA AND TURKIYE
Abstract
Abstract
This paper examines how rational choice theory influences governmental decision-making and individual political participation in Indonesia compared to Turkiye. It analyzes the government's ban on nickel exports as a case study to illustrate the application of rational choice theory in policy-making. Employing qualitative research methods and a literature review approach, the study draws from a diverse array of scholarly sources, including academic journals, articles, news reports, and more. Additionally, it explores how this theory can explain voter behavior during elections. In summary, rational choice theory offers a valuable framework for understanding both governmental decision-making and individual political behavior in Indonesia. By considering rational calculations, incentives, and constraints, policymakers and scholars can better comprehend the dynamics of governance and democratic participation. This understanding can inform more effective policy-making and strategies to enhance political engagement among citizens.
