Abstract

This study examines intergovernmental relations in Indonesia’s decentralized governance system by focusing on the continuing tension between regional autonomy and central government steering. Decentralization has expanded subnational responsibilities, yet subsequent regulatory and fiscal reforms have strengthened central coordination through authority allocation, fiscal transfers, planning, budgeting, regulatory supervision, and performance control. Using a qualitative document-analysis approach, this study analyzes statutory regulations, fiscal decentralization policies, planning and budgeting arrangements, and recent scholarly studies on central–regional relations. The findings demonstrate that Indonesia operates through a hybrid intergovernmental model rather than a simple centralization–decentralization dichotomy. Regional governments retain substantial responsibility for public service delivery and local development, but their discretion is conditioned by fiscal dependence, nationally defined policy frameworks, uneven institutional capacity, and sectoral regulatory intervention. Central steering can strengthen policy coherence and minimum service standards, but excessive control may weaken local responsiveness and innovation. The study concludes that effective decentralization requires clearer authority distribution, stronger regional fiscal capacity, adaptive coordination, institutional capacity development, and accountable multilevel governance.

Abstract

Sustainable tourism governance in Indonesia is shaped by complex relations among state authority, market interests, institutional arrangements, and community agency. This study examines these dynamics through a qualitative case-study approach based on documentary analysis and relevant scholarly literature. The analysis applies Foucauldian governmentality, collaborative governance, participation theory, political ecology, and tourism justice perspectives. The findings show that sustainability functions as a governmental rationality that structures policy priorities and institutional practices. Decentralisation expands local authority but also produces fragmentation and accountability gaps. Community participation remains uneven and often stops at consultation rather than co-determination. Local knowledge is selectively recognised, creating challenges for epistemic justice, while market-oriented tourism can reproduce unequal access to resources and benefits. At the same time, communities negotiate, reinterpret, and resist official tourism agendas through collective practices and local institutions. Sustainable tourism therefore requires stronger accountability, inclusive decision-making, recognition of local knowledge, and fairer benefit distribution across destinations.
