Abstract

Regional proliferation is a policy to improve governance of local governments upon decentralization taken into effect since 2001 in Indonesia in order to get public services in touch to the locals as well as further increases of prosperity level, but it is not necessarily proven as the matter of fact. This article gives a try to critically rethinking problematic situation of governing new municipalities upon proliferation, taking cases from Singkawang City and Bandung Barat Regency, to confirm previous theories. The study uses positivism approach by employing combining qualitative and quantitative method of inquiries through in-depth interviews to various actors, statistical analysis of conditions in comparison between those at the time of proliferation and recent progress, as well as content analysis of important documents. It suggests that regional proliferation in two municipalities implies double-edged impacts; they are opportunities to grasp local development on one side but counterproductive results of much dependency and stagnancy in local service delivery on the other side.

Abstract

Departed from the innovative programs during the period of Joko Widodo in Surakarta that are still made as the model of the local public service reform, this article aims to discover and analyze the innovations of the Municipal Government of Surakarta (as known as Solo), the revitalization of the traditional market and the management of the street vendors, under the leadership of Joko Widodo (known also as Jokowi) as the mayor (2005 – 2012) by using to Sound Governance Model. The research uses positivist approach through several data collection techniques, such as, in-depth interview with the program performing actors in the local government and the beneficiary actors; observation; and literature review. The data was collected throughout 2012 – 2013 after Joko Widodo is no longer the incumbent Mayor, in order that the information of the innovations sustainability can be noticed. The outcome was analyzed as univariate and descriptively towards the dimensions of Sound Governance Model. The study suggests that there is a novel approach in running the innovative program of the traditional market revitalization and the street vendors management through an adaptive environmental development without discarding the orientation toward society-empowerment in Surakarta. Even so, the manifestation of the sound governance has not been related to the refinement of the positive impact for the stakeholders like traders, due to lack grounded from their substantive needs, poor performance management, and also the lacking stakeholder engagement in the program monitoring and evaluation. In contrast to previous existing reports, this research also suggests that the coherence between leadership and administrative capacity is inevitable for the sustainability of the innovation practices.

Abstract

Amidst fluctuate central-local governmental relations, extended decentralization policy to village level prompt discourses as to whether the policy could exploit local wisdom within which villages are supposedly develop. This article aims at explaining implications of centralized local development in Indonesia and which ways the village governments and communities exploit local wisdoms to implement localized central arrangement under the 2014 Village Law. A qualitative case study in two villages in two special autonomous provinces in Indonesia representing rich traditional culture-based tourism respectively is conducted. Data is gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews with some key informants and document analyses. Following that, the article argues that reciprocal relations between local wisdom and practices of village autonomy are lacking, whereby organic and traditional values are not compatible with modern and formal bureaucratic nature of village governance. Village apparatuses has rather sought for satisfying local development accountability than incorporating existing local wisdom therein. While the 2014 Village Law requires each village to integrate local wisdom living naturally in villages, its standardized procedures render them to shift their accountability from supposedly held to local people to municipal governments. This makes centralization of local development happened by and within local governments under localized administrative arrangements imposed by the central government.

Abstract

Promising industrial profiles of Southeast Asian emerging economies have met their developmental limits in the face of the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s. However, following the crisis, they have not been successful in upscaling the technological competitiveness of their industries. By applying the national innovation system approach originally developed in advanced western economies as an institutional mechanism of policy innovation in light of developmentalism, I seek to explain these persistent developmental limits in Malaysia and Indonesia. My qualitative research examines literature discussing policy coordination mechanisms in innovation policies and policy documents containing coordination mechanisms involving firms, universities, and government agencies; then, how these issues implicate innovation policies in the two countries. I employ a comparative institutional analysis between them focusing on institutional characteristics of the national innovation systems, specifically their institutional obstacles occurring within development paths amidst prevailing political environments. I suggest that persistent developmental limits in Malaysia and Indonesia result from systemic failures of achieving developmental aims regardless of their politico-administrative regimes. Existing institutional frameworks of the national innovation systems, entrenched in the socio-economic prevalence of the two countries, have not fit the nations’ developmental aims pursued upon innovation upgrading.

Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan pada eksaminasi kesesuaian agenda kebijakan sertifikasi pelayanan publik dengan mempertimbangkan kinerja pemerintahan daerah saat ini. Studi dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data secara intensif yang menimbang spesifikasi konteks lokal menurut kebijakan desentralisasi yang menjadi arus utama reformasi struktural tata kelola pemerintahan di Indonesia. Meski standar pelayanan publik diberlakukan berdasarkan peraturan-peraturan turunan Undang-Undang Pelayanan Publik No. 25 Tahun 2009, upaya lebih lanjut oleh pemerintahan daerah tak pelak diperlukan. Studi ini dijalankan secara kualitatif di Surabaya, memperhitungkan posisinya pada papan atas pemerintahan daerah yang reformis dan inovatif. Studi ini terdiri atas analisis dokumen kebijakan dan wawancara mendalam untuk pengumpulan datanya. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa implementasi sertifikasi pelayanan publik sekiranya bisa mengarah pada penyesuaian struktural. Terlepas dari kategorisasi layanan pemerintah menurut karakternya masing-masing, berbagai penyesuaian struktural diperlukan menurut konteks masing-masing daerah. Pelibatan berbagai komunitas lokal perlu pengembangan lebih lanjut sebagai cara standar memastikan bahwa sertifikasi tidak hanya relevan tapi juga menjadi bagian integral dari strategi peningkatan pembangunan daerah. The article aims at examining the suitability of the policy agenda of public service certification for the prevalence of local governments' performance. I conduct qualitative approach with intensive data collection, considering of local context specificities upon which decentralization has been mainstreaming in the state structural reform in Indonesia. Although the public service standard takes into effects based on certain regulations derived from the Public Service Act 25/2009, efforts made by local government is deemed necessary. To make the study manageable, I conduct a case study qualitatively in Surabaya considering its prominence in local bureaucracy reform and innovation. I conduct a series of policy document analysis and in-depth interviews for data enquiry. I suggest that the implementation of public service certification is likely to lead to various adjustments towards strengthening the standards to be applied. Apart from categorizing the government services according to the different characteristics of each type of service, various structural adjustments are necessary according to the local context of each region. The local community involvement mechanism still needs improvements as standard enforcement in all regions so that public service certification is not only relevant but also an integral part of the local development improvement strategy.
