Parties, patronage and COVID-19 vaccination distribution in Indonesia/ Lila Sari, Edward Aspinall, Haryanto and Andi Ali Armunanto

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2023Subject(s): In: Contemporary Southeast Asia Vol. 45, No. 1, April 2023, pp.1-29 (19)Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, as Indonesia mobilized to deliver vaccines to the population, an unexpected phenomenon occurred: political parties became directly involved in the vaccine delivery effort. In this article, we draw on online reports and interviews to demonstrate that these campaigns acted as an extension of the patronage politics that dominate the country's political arena. The involvement of political parties had little effect on the national vaccination effort, as parties delivered a relatively small number of vaccines and often targeted areas that already had high coverage.
