Abstract
This article discusses the phenomenon of family politics in Lamongan, regarding the role of bureaucrats, politics, and various organizations related to family politics. Direct elections of regional chiefs (pilkada) and proportional electoral systems with the most votes have provided greater opportunities for political families to obtain and increase their abilities. Therefore, the number of family members occupying political offices is increasing. The focus of this research is the emergence of political dominance by the Fadeli family in Lamongan Regency. The data show that the family can utilize formal and informal political forces through clientelism strategies, which can lead to family dominance. The resources of family political dominance are the important element in interpreting family politics, based on Assako, Dal Bo, and Querobin [1]. This is also combined with the concept of clientelism strategy from Aspinall and Berenschot
