Abstract

This study focuses on the dynamics of political trust in the border region of Indonesia-Malaysia (North Kalimantan). This article outlines the survey results encompassing legal institutions, the executive, legislative bodies, political parties, mass media, and religious leaders. The survey results indicate variations in the levels of public trust in these institutions. For instance, the police institution garners higher levels of trust compared to the judicial system. Local governments receive higher trust levels than the central government. However, trust in legislative institutions and political parties remains relatively low. These findings reflect a democratic deficit that could threaten political stability in border areas. Trust in mass media is also low, while religious leaders enjoy higher levels of trust. This underscores the significance of communication and the role of religious leaders in border regions. In conclusion, understanding the factors influencing political trust in border regions is key to maintaining political stability and bolstering local democracy.
