Dualisme Kepentingan Joe Biden: Perhatian pada Sektor Lingkungan di Masa Kampanye & Hadirnya Willow Project 2023 setelah Terpilih [Joe Biden's Interest Dualism: Attention towards the Environment Sector in the Campaign Period and the Presence of Willow Project 2023 after Elected]
Abstract
This study aims to analyze President Joe Biden's dual interests regarding his focus on the environmental sector during his campaign and the decision to approve the Willow Project in2023 after being elected. Utilizing the concepts of national interest and public policy along with elite theory, this research highlights the discrepancy between Biden's pro-environment campaign promises and his policy decisions after taking office. A descriptive-analytical method is employed to identify and understand the reasons behind the approval of this controversial project. The findings reveal that the approval of the Willow Project was influenced by pressures from elite groups and the strategic necessity to balance broader national interests, despite conflicting with the environmental commitments made during the campaign. The conclusion of this study underscores the complexity of public policy decision-making, which often involves compromises between idealistic goals and political realities.
Bahasa Indonesia Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dualisme kepentingan Presiden Joe Biden mengenai fokusnya pada sektor lingkungan di masa kampanye dan keputusannya untuk menyetujui Willow Project di tahun 2023 setelah terpilih. Dengan menggunakan konsep kepentingan nasional dan kebijakan publik, bersama teori elit, penelitian ini menggarisbawahi ketidaksesuaian di antara janji kampanye Biden yang prolingkungan dengan keputusan-keputusannya setelah menjabat. Metode deskriptif-analitis digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi dan memahami alasan di balik persetujuan terhadap proyek yang kontroversial ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persetujuan terhadap Willow Project dipengaruhi tekanan yang datang dari kelompok elit dan kebutuhan strategis untuk menyeimbangkan kepentingan nasional, terlepas dari komitmen-komitmen terhadap isu lingkungan yang disampaikan semasa kampanye. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan kompleksitas pembuatan kebijakan publik yang kadang mengkompromikan tujuan-tujuan ideal terhadap realitas politik.
