Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis praktik politik dinasti dalam kemenangan Intan Permata Sari pada Pemilu Legislatif Tahun 2024 di Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara serta mengkaji bagaimana praktik tersebut berpotensi menimbulkan ketidakadilan sosial di masyarakat. Fenomena ini menjadi penting untuk dikaji karena keterpilihan Intan Permata Sari tidak terlepas dari latar belakang keluarganya yang memiliki pengaruh kuat dalam politik lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan konsep politik dinasti serta teori State-in-Society sebagai landasan analisis. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dengan sepuluh informan yang terdiri atas anggota legislatif, elite politik, penyelenggara pemilu, partai politik, akademisi, jurnalis, tokoh masyarakat, dan lembaga swadaya masyarakat, serta didukung oleh dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik politik dinasti berperan dalam kemenangan Intan Permata Sari melalui keberlanjutan pengaruh keluarga politik, modal sosial, jaringan politik, serta legitimasi yang telah dibangun dalam masyarakat. Namun, hubungan kekerabatan bukan menjadi satu-satunya faktor penentu kemenangan karena masyarakat juga mempertimbangkan kapasitas, integritas, rekam jejak, dan kemampuan calon. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa politik dinasti berpotensi menimbulkan ketidaksetaraan kesempatan politik akibat perbedaan akses terhadap sumber daya politik, meskipun tidak menghilangkan mekanisme demokrasi secara formal. Dengan demikian, praktik politik dinasti memengaruhi kualitas kompetisi politik dan proses regenerasi kepemimpinan di tingkat lokal.

This study aims to analyze the practice of political dynasty in the victory of Intan Permata Sari in the 2024 Legislative Election in Southeast Aceh Regency and to examine how such practices potentially create social inequality within society. This phenomenon is significant because Intan Permata Sari's electoral success cannot be separated from her family's longstanding influence in local politics. The study employs the concept of political dynasty and the State-in-Society theory as its analytical framework. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten informants, including legislators, political elites, election organizers, political party representatives, academics, journalists, community leaders, and representatives of non-governmental organizations, supported by documentation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that political dynasty contributed to Intan Permata Sari's electoral victory through the continuity of family influence, social capital, political networks, and legitimacy that had been established within the community. Nevertheless, kinship ties were not the sole determinant of electoral success, as voters also considered the candidate's capacity, integrity, track record, and competence. The study further reveals that political dynasty has the potential to create unequal political opportunities due to disparities in access to political resources, although it does not eliminate formal democratic mechanisms. Therefore, the practice of political dynasty influences the quality of political competition and leadership regeneration at the local level.
