Abstract

This study presents a critical review of research exploring the role of intermediaries in strategic public procurement, a sector transitioning from traditional cost reduction to long-term societal goals such as innovation and sustainability. As public organizations increasingly rely on third-party brokers to manage complex markets, there is an urgent need to evaluate how these hybrid governance models affect strategic capacity and traditional control structures. The primary objective of this review is to systematically analyze the influences of intermediaries on organizational accountability and long-term market dynamics. Using a critical literature review methodology, the research evaluates the methodological rigor, theoretical underpinnings, and empirical findings of existing scholarship, specifically focusing on a 2025 case study of the Swedish consultancy and medical technology sectors. The findings highlight several strengths, including a highly relevant research agenda and a holistic multi-stakeholder approach that incorporates diverse voices from purchasers and suppliers. However, the review identifies significant limitations: a narrow geographical and sectoral scope, potential self-selection bias in sampling, and a surface-level application of contingency theory that lacks analytical depth. Furthermore, the study notes that causal claims regarding intermediaries undermining procurement are not fully supported by the qualitative data. The review concludes that while the research provides valuable insights into implementation challenges and accountability tensions, its generalizability remains restricted, and practitioners require more evidence-based, actionable solutions to balance administrative efficiency with strategic public value.

Abstract

Indonesia  taken various efforts to achieve gender equality. One of them is in the political area, with an affirmative action policy related to the representation of women as members of legislature. It is to increase women's representation in decision-making institutions which will have an effective impact on solving women's problems in Indonesia. This research was conducted by literature review method with qualitative descriptive analysis. The studies conducted that there are two main approaches to create gender equality, namely the pragmatic approach and strategic approach. Pragmatic approach related to solving various cases of gender injustice and making legal policies. While the strategic approach as an effort to raise awareness and educate on gender equality and change the cultural structure for all levels of society. An affirmative action was just making policies and not completely solving the problem of gender inequality in Indonesia strategically and not effective enough in creating gender equality in Indonesia. Abstrak Indonesia menjadikan kesetaraan gender sebagai salah satu agenda penting pembangunan melalui berbagai kebijakan, termasuk penerapan kebijakan afirmatif dalam representasi politik perempuan. Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum mewajibkan partai politik mencalonkan paling sedikit 30% perempuan sebagai calon anggota DPR dan DPRD. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis sejauh mana kebijakan afirmatif tersebut berkontribusi terhadap terwujudnya kesetaraan gender di Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode kajian literatur melalui analisis kritis terhadap hasil-hasil penelitian terdahulu, regulasi, dan berbagai literatur yang berkaitan dengan representasi politik perempuan. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan teori representasi politik Hanna Pitkin dan teori patriarki Joan Acker. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan afirmatif telah meningkatkan representasi politik perempuan, namun belum secara substantif mewujudkan kesetaraan gender. Efektivitas kebijakan masih dihadapkan pada berbagai kendala, antara lain keterbatasan kader perempuan yang berkualitas, lemahnya komitmen partai politik dalam proses rekrutmen dan penempatan calon, masih kuatnya budaya patriarki dalam organisasi politik, serta belum optimalnya kapasitas sebagian perempuan terpilih dalam memperjuangkan kepentingan perempuan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan afirmatif perlu disertai dengan penguatan kapasitas politik perempuan, komitmen kelembagaan partai politik, serta transformasi struktur sosial patriarkal agar tujuan kesetaraan gender dapat diwujudkan secara lebih efektif.
