Abstract

Public policy addresses societal challenges, shapes governance structures, and enhances institutional performance. This paper critically reviews the stages of the policy process—formulation, implementation, and evaluation—by examining key theoretical frameworks, including the policy cycle, rational and incremental models, and evidence-based policy-making. While these frameworks offer valuable foundational insights, their practical application is often constrained by complex political, institutional, and socio-cultural factors. The analysis underscores how real-world governance dynamics frequently demand adaptive and participatory approaches that extend beyond the linear logic of conventional policy models. Drawing on a qualitative literature review, the study emphasises the growing relevance of Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) as a normative foundation for effective governance. SDG 16 advocates inclusive institutions, accountable decision-making, and equitable access to justice—principles closely aligned with effective public policy. By integrating governance-oriented considerations such as transparency, stakeholder engagement, and institutional resilience, the paper argues for a more flexible and context-sensitive approach to policy-making. The findings suggest that bridging the gap between theory and practice requires methodological pluralism and a commitment to institutional values consistent with the spirit of SDG 16. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of how public policy can strengthen democratic governance in an era of uncertainty and complexity.

Abstract

Poverty and political instability are two fundamental issues that continue to shape governance and public policy in many countries, particularly in the Global South. Despite the rapid growth of the literature on these issues, studies that systematically map conceptual relationships, research trends, and global knowledge structures remain limited. Existing research often treats poverty and political instability as separate or loosely connected phenomena, thereby overlooking the institutional and political mechanisms that link them. This article addresses this gap by examining how global research has constructed the relationship between poverty and political instability, with particular attention to the Global South. The study employs a bibliometric approach, analysing 706 Scopus-indexed publications from 2016 to 2025 using VOSviewer. The findings indicate a significant increase in academic attention since 2019 and reveal that poverty is predominantly framed in relation to governance, public policy, and health, while its direct linkage to political instability remains comparatively underexplored. The analysis also highlights persistent geographic disparities in knowledge production, with the Global North dominating publication networks despite increasing contributions from the Global South. These findings contribute to the literature by clarifying the structural positioning of poverty within contemporary governance debates and by identifying gaps in the empirical examination of political instability. However, this study is limited by its reliance on a single database (Scopus) and the constraints of bibliometric analysis in capturing contextual and causal dynamics. Overall, the study underscores the need for more integrative and context-sensitive approaches to understanding the relationship between poverty and political instability in the Global South.

Abstract

Zakat has the excellent potential to overcome social welfare problems. Baitul Mal Aceh (BMA) is a body that can maximize the benefits of zakat funds for the welfare of the poor in Aceh province; therefore, it is necessary to strive for better management of zakat to obtain better results. This study aims to determine the management of zakat in BMA in terms of a good governance approach. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with data obtained through interviews, observation, and document study. The research results show that the zakat management in Aceh is quite good. Management should be based on the principles of good governance, such as openness and transparency; societal participation; accountability; and effectiveness and efficiency. Hopefully, BMA can continue to maintain and even improve its performance in managing zakat, so that it can improve the welfare of zakat recipients in Aceh.

Abstract

ABSTRACTCOVID-19, which transmitted rapidly from China, has crossed all the lands in the world, infecting people in every corner. This phenomenon has shocked the public on a large scale, ranging from the mass media; government; to individuals. This study seeks to assess the perceptions of the Acehnese regarding government policy in dealing with COVID-19 in the local realm, especially related to the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). An online survey was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire using a non-probability snowball sampling technique to answer the abovementioned problem. Finally, the questionnaire distributed online collected as many as 264 respondents. In general, the results of the study report that respondents have a high level of compliance with the policies taken by the government in fighting the Coronavirus. Most of them claim to be ready to help their neighbors who have problems with loss of livelihood during the implementation of NPIs that require people to work at home. Interestingly, even though the community has shown willingness to follow government guidelines on quarantine and social distance, most people reject the call to worship at home. Therefore, in formulating the best policy, a comprehensive socio-economic study and cooperation from community leaders, especially religious leaders, are needed to equalize the public’s perception. Keywords: Non-pharmaceutical intervention, public policy, Covid-19, Aceh ABSTRAKCOVID-19 yang menular dengan cepat dari Cina telah melintasi seluruh daratan di dunia, menjangkiti manusia di setiap sudut. Fenomena ini telah menghebohkan publik secara besar-besaran, mulai dari media, pemerintah, hingga individu. Kajian ini berupaya mengkaji persepsi masyarakat Aceh mengenai kebijakan pemerintah dalam menangani COVID-19 di ranah lokal, khususnya terkait penerapan intervensi nonfarmasi (NPIs). Untuk menjawabnya, dilakukan survei online dengan menggunakan kuesioner semi terstruktur dengan teknik non-probability snowball sampling, dan akhirnya berhasil mengumpulkan sebanyak 264 tanggapan. Secara umum responden memiliki tingkat kepatuhan yang tinggi terhadap kebijakan yang diambil pemerintah dalam memerangi virus corona. Sebagian besar dari mereka mengaku siap membantu tetangganya yang bermasalah dengan hilangnya mata pencaharian selama penerapan NPIs. Menariknya, meski masyarakat telah menunjukkan kesediaan untuk mengikuti pedoman pemerintah tentang karantina dan menjaga jarak, kebanyakan orang menolak ajakan untuk beribadah di rumah masing-masing. Oleh karena itu, dalam merumuskan kebijakan yang terbaik, diperlukan kajian sosial ekonomi yang komprehensif dan kerjasama dari tokoh masyarakat, khususnya tokoh agama, untuk menyamakan persepsi masyarakat. Kata Kunci: Non-pharmaceutical intervention, kebijakan publik, Covid-19, Aceh

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the development of scientific literature related to creativity and innovation in the public sector over the past decade (2015–2024) using a bibliometric approach. Following a PRISMA-guided screening procedure, a final corpus of 244 articles was obtained from the Scopus database and analysed with VOSviewer software to map publication trends, the most frequently used keywords, the most productive authors and institutions, and patterns of international collaboration. The analysis results show a significant increase in the number of publications, primarily centred on e-government, digital innovation, and public service delivery. Authors and institutions from European countries, especially the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, lead scientific production in this field. The keyword analysis also reveals a shift in research focus from technological aspects to collaborative dimensions and innovative governance. In the Indonesian context, the results of this study demonstrate the importance of strengthening institutional capacity, bureaucratic leadership, and an adaptive innovation ecosystem to drive public sector transformation. This research makes a valuable contribution to the development of public innovation theory and provides an empirical basis for formulating evidence-based policies relevant to local and global needs.

Abstract

This research examines the implementation of free school meals policies worldwide. Based on the campaign promises of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka, this program is expected to address four main issues: stunting, improving nutrition, enhancing academic achievement, and alleviating extreme poverty. The research adopts a literature review approach, utilising Scopus-indexed sources alongside bibliometric and content analysis to examine global trends, impacts, and challenges associated with such programs. The findings reveal that free school meal programs make a significant contribution to students’ nutritional status, cognitive development, and socioeconomic well-being. However, challenges related to financial sustainability, equitable distribution, and food waste management remain critical obstacles to practical implementation. Lessons from various countries suggest that successful programs require strong political commitment, efficient resource allocation, and multi-sectoral collaboration. In the Indonesian context, implementing a large-scale free school meal initiative demands careful planning and stakeholder engagement to ensure sustainability and effectiveness. This study concludes that while the program holds substantial potential to address pressing social challenges, further research is necessary to evaluate its feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and long-term impact in Indonesia. A comprehensive approach involving policymakers, educators, health experts, and local communities is recommended to support the successful implementation of this initiative, ensuring that it aligns with national development goals and international best practices.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to look at government policies in realizing environmentally friendly public transportation, especially public transportation that is integrated with waste management. The research method uses a qualitative method with a case study approach on public transportation in the city of Surabaya. Based on the results of the study, to realize a sustainable city and reduce congestion and waste in the city of Surabaya, the government has made a policy of paying for public transportation using plastic bottle waste. The use of payments with plastic bottles greatly helps the government in breaking down existing waste and encouraging people to use public transportation in the city of Surabaya, especially for the Suroboyo Bus. In addition, to support and strengthen environmentally friendly public transportation, the Surabaya City Government has begun to replace the fleet with electric public transportation. The change in transportation modes from fossil fuels to electricity is also government support in realizing sustainable public transportation in Indonesia. The conclusion of this study is that the government has a policy to reduce waste and congestion problems, one of which is by paying for public transportation using waste. To strengthen this policy, the government also integrates all urban transportation in Surabaya, with the GoBis application. The integration of public transportation management is the seriousness of the Surabaya City Government in overcoming urban problems.

Abstract

The utilization of telemedicine, or remote consultation, has emerged as a pivotal innovation in enhancing primary healthcare, a shift significantly accelerated by the pandemic's push toward digital health adoption. In Indonesia, integrating telemedicine into public health governance remains essential, particularly within public health centers (Puskesmas) and under the national health insurance (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional [JKN]) scheme. This article examines the challenges and opportunities of implementing telemedicine within Indonesia’s primary healthcare ecosystem, focusing on policy design, regulatory frameworks, and administrative hurdles. Employing a qualitative narrative literature review approach, this study synthesized a total of 26 articles. The selected sources were evaluated using thematic and descriptive analysis to identify core implementation themes. The findings suggest that while telemedicine enhances healthcare access, administrative efficiency, and citizen engagement, critical governance challenges—such as digital inequality, data privacy concerns, and a lack of standardized implementation guidelines—persist. Government regulatory efforts during the pandemic only partially addressed these issues, meaning that long-term integration will heavily depend on strengthened institutional coordination and consistent policy frameworks. Ultimately, this research contributes to the broader discourse on public sector innovation and health governance by offering actionable policy recommendations to support the equitable and effective adoption of telemedicine across Indonesia Keywords: Healthcare policy, Indonesia, JKN, primary healthcare, public service

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing more rapidly than the institutional arrangements designed to govern it, creating a persistent governance lag. Although agile governance and AI governance address this challenge from complementary perspectives, they have largely evolved as separate bodies of scholarship. This study develops an integrative conceptual framework by examining their convergence through a narrative review based on a transparent multi-source search and thematic synthesis. The analysis identifies three dimensions of convergence: diagnostic convergence, reflected in a shared recognition of governance lag and the Collingridge dilemma, normative convergence, demonstrated by common commitments to transparency, accountability, participation, and continuous learning, and instrumental convergence, expressed through regulatory sandboxes, policy laboratories, anticipatory governance, and lifecycle-based AI oversight. The findings further conceptualize agile AI governance as the application of agile governance meta-principles to AI governance while distinguishing it from adaptive, anticipatory, experimentalist, and responsible AI governance. The review also reveals that the principal challenge lies in the structural tension between agility and accountability, driven by the mismatch between technological and institutional change. Drawing on the Indonesian context, the study argues that governance agility should be operationalized through measurable indicators, institutional safeguards, and continuous evaluation, and proposes a future research agenda for conceptual refinement, empirical validation, comparative analysis, and governance measurement.
