[Skripsi ini merupakan hasil penelitian kualitatif dengan ragam studi kasus yang
mengidentifikasi praktik politik dalam arena sosial nagari Pasca Rezim Orde Baru.
Penelitian ini menggambarkan dinamika sosial dan politik yang terjadi di tingkat
lokal pasca diterapkannya kebijakan desentralisasi di Indonesia. Melalui analisa
sosiologi politik dan kerangka berpikir Pierre Bourdieu mengenai habitus dan arena
(field), penelitian ini melihat bagaimana pengaruh demokratisasi terhadap arena sosial
nagari dan bagaimana para aktor di dalamnya merespon perubahan tersebut. Hasil
penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa demokratisasi telah mengubah aturan main (rules of
the game) yang ada di arena sosial nagari, dari yang awalnya bersifat eksklusif
menjadi aturan yang bersifat inklusif. Inklusifitas ditunjukan dari terbukanya ruang
bagi masyarakat untuk melakukan mobilitas sosial, baik di internal nagari maupun ke
arena lain di tingkat yang lebih tinggi.;This Thesis is the result of a qualitative research in the form of case study which
indentifies the political practice of wali nagari in Post New Order Regime. This
research describes the social and political dynamics in local field after the
implementation of decentralization policy in Indonesia. Using political sociology
analysis and framework of Pierre Bourdieu?s habitus and field, this research sees the

actors against the changes. The result of this research show that democratization has
transformed the rules of the game of nagari?s social field; from exclusive to inclusive

mobility; not only in the internal of nagari but also in the other higher field., This Thesis is the result of a qualitative research in the form of case study which
