dent and vice president were elected. IRE Yogyakarta sup- ported by KSI in 2014 conducted a series of activities that led
to the effort in response to the issues.
The first was monthly discussion activities with varied themes in response to current issues.
1. Opening 2014, the theme of IRE’s monthly discussion was “Mewujudkan Indonesia yang Berdaulat, Bebas
dari Korupsi” Realizing Indonesia Which Is Sovereign, Freed from Corruption. The theme of discussion was
chosen because it seemed relevant to the socio-political dynamics at that time. In 2014, Indonesia would enter
the year of politics in which the legislative election and the presidential and vice presidential election would
be held, while in 2013, people were shown the drama on the battle between KPK Corruption Eradication
Commission and the police institution. The speakers of the discussion were Busyro Muqoddas the former
a candidate for the Commissioner of KPK, Suparman Marzuki The Commissioner of KY and Arie Sujito A
Researcher of IRE Yogyakarta.

bulanan ini turut mewarnai media massa sehingga cukup banyak pesan yang dapat disampaikan kepada publik dalam
rangka penguatan demokrasi substansial, baik di tingkat lo- kal maupun nasional.
Rekomendasi
Transformasi kehidupan berdemokrasi secara formal prose- dural sudah saatnya menuju ke perikehidupan demokrasi
yang subtantif. Diskursus pendalaman demokrasi yang telah dipelihara IRE sejauh ini, sepantasnya berlanjut menjadi dis-
kursus publik yang lebih luas dan berpengarh secara nyata dalam proses pembuatan kebijakan yang lebih berpihak
pada kepentingan masyarakat dan penguatan demokrasi di Indonesia.
