Abstract

Political dynamics have played a crucial role in shaping the Democratic Party in Indonesia, where politics is deeply embedded in everyday life. The transformation of identity politics within the realm of Islamic Political Economy is a key narrative influencing the path toward the 2024 elections. This moment serves as a critical opportunity to implement the principles of Islamic Political Economy, which advocates for an inclusive political framework. This study examines the evolution of identity politics, particularly within the framework of Islamic political economy, by analyzing its implications for the political process leading up to the elections. Employing a socio-legal research method, this study integrates normative analysis with qualitative reasoning to derive conclusions. The findings highlight the complexities of identity politics in Indonesia and their impact on politics, the economy, and society. While Indonesia's social, cultural, and religious diversity is a strength, challenges in maintaining unity persist. Identity politics—shaped by nationalism and religion—plays a significant role in economic policy, particularly in the context of Islamic political economy, which emphasizes social justice. However, while identity politics can foster unity, its manipulation has the potential to deepen societal divisions
