Abstract

In the last two decades, the global development paradigm has shifted towards a bottom-up approach that emphasizes the active participation of people in public policy processes. However, in Indonesia, such participation is still often a formality and does not have substantive advocacy power. This research aims to analyze the conceptual model of participatory advocacy in collaborative governance and identify the supporting factors, obstacles, and impacts on the legitimacy of development policies. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines by analyzing 50 selected articles from the Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, and Garuda databases using a thematic analysis approach (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The results of the study show that participatory advocacy involving state actors, civil society, and non-governmental organizations is able to strengthen transparency, accountability, and the effectiveness of public policies. However, its success depends heavily on political legitimacy, social capacity, and regulatory support. The findings also highlight the emergence of new challenges in the digital age, such as disinformation and digital literacy inequality, as well as the need to integrate local values in strengthening advocacy legitimacy. This research contributes to the development of collaborative governance and empowerment theory, and offers a new direction for participatory policy reform in Indonesia. Going forward, follow-up studies are suggested to explore the role of digital technology and the dynamics of non-traditional actors in the context of hybrid politics and post-pandemic society.
