Abstract

Tax is one of the most crucial areas of government, especially in promoting national revenue and regulating the national economy. According to the current sociopolitical context, the effective use of tax is expected to overcome economic crisis and to reduce the local governments financial burden in implementing local autonomy. Based on empirical data, tax ratio in Indonesia is still lower than other neighboring countries, such as: Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Therefore Indonesia urgently needs to reform its tax organization (Direktorat Jendral Pajak). Besides that, the position of tax organization under the Department of Finance is improper due to the differingfunctions of the tax organization and the Department of Finance. The Department of Finance formulates national budget and maintains public asset while the tax organization collects money and ensures citizen compliance. This article argues about the importance of reforming the tax organization becoming a national tax agency directly under the President and thus having more autonomy and power, as well as a reduction of political intervention from other departments.

Abstract

Kebijakan pembangunan perumahan menjadi instrumen pemerintah untuk melakukan intervensi pembangunan di daerah. Namun pembangunan rumah layak huni (RLH) dapat dijadikan sebagai sarana pemberdayaan masyarakat. Implementasi kebijakan pembangunan RLH perlu mempertimbangkan pendekatan kombinasi, yaitu pendekatan atas-bawah (top-down) dan pendekatan bawah-atas (bottom-up), yang dikenal sebagai pendekatan hibrida. Paper ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi pembangunan RLH dengan pendekatan hibrida di Kabupaten Supiori dengan memperhatikan partisipasi masyarakat lokal dalam implementasi kebijakan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui observasi partisipan, wawancara mendalam dengan pemerintah daerah, pemangku kepentingan maupun masyarakat penerima dana bantuan sosial RLH, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembangunan RLH di Kabupaten Supiori telah dimulai sejak tahun 2012 dengan orientasi utama pemberdayaan masyarakat berpendapatan rendah. Pembangunan RLH ini dibiayai dengan dana bantuan sosial atau dikenal sebagai Bantuan Langsung Masyarakat (BLM) dari dana Otonomi Khusus. Perpaduan antara peran Pemerintah Kabupaten Supiori serta Kepala Distrik dan Kepala Kampung, dan peran masyarakat benar-benar sudah terlihat, yang merefleksikan pendekatan hibrida dalam implementasi pembangunan RLH. Masyarakat berpartisipasi aktif melalui tiga bentuk partisipasi, yaitu keterlibatan dalam sosialisasi dan musyawarah kampung, penyediaan material dan tenaga kerja lokal, serta manajemen konflik sosial akibat adanya kesan diskriminasi dalam penentuan prioritas penerima dana bantuan sosial pembangunan RLH. Dengan prosedur operasi standar yang dibuat, maka sulit bagi pemerintah daerah untuk berlaku dominan dalam intervensi masyarakat. Sebaliknya, prosedur operasi standar yang ada memungkinkan masyarakat berpartisipasi maupun mendampingi otoritas pemerintah daerah dalam melaksanakan kegiatan pembangunan RLH di masing-masing kampung prioritas.Implentasi Kebijakan Pembangunan; Rumah Layak Huni; Pendekatan Hibrida.

Abstract

This article concerns the efforts carried out by lower level bureaucrats in order to implement their decisions. Prior studies generally describe the decision of street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) as decisions that have already been implemented. There have not been many studies describing the efforts of SLBs in realizing their decisions. Thus, this study intends to examine the efforts undertaken by the lowest level bureaucrats to implement the decisions they have made. The main reference used to analyze this phenomenon is by using the structural approach and the DNA of negotiation. To describe this phenomenon, the study explored a case of program implementation on land redistribution in the Cipari District, Cilacap Regency in 2010. Study results show that power, strategy, and distributive negotiation tactic, as well as personal values are key elements in implementing decisions. The results indicate that discretion is not always applicable since there are times when discretion is limited and thus it must be developed. Because this study relates to the success or failure of policy implementation, knowledge about ways of developing discretion becomes a substantial part in optimally developing public policy.

Abstract

The inequality of human resource (HR) capacity among bureaucrats is an immense challenge confronted by the South Central Timor (SCT) regional government concerning the policy for recruiting and promoting bureaucratic positions. The strong ecological characteristics of the local community with its diverse and varying social, cultural, geographical, economic, and educational environments, coupled with salience of kinship and affiliation have set the backdrop for differences in the bureaucratic personnel’s capacity and performance. Such conditions make it difficult for regional bureaucracies to avoid the emergence of HR capacity disparity issues among bureaucrats. The current study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of bureaucratic position promotion and recruitment policy in SCT Regency. The post-positivist approach was employed in the research by using the descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through observations, literature study, document study, and in-depth interviews to obtain information, perspectives, and opinions from relevant sources. By comparing theoretical and empirical models, and using the construction of cultural and structural approach models, study results indicate that the merit system’s adaptation developed in recruiting and promoting SCT Regency’s bureaucratic officials tends to use rational representation. This means ethnic representation and native son priority are accommodated in the policy for recruiting and promoting SCT government officials as a manifestation of an achieved mutual consensus, although the process must be conducted through a professional system based on qualifications, competence, and institutional needs.

Abstract

This article explored the rent-seeking phenomenon in sugar imports at the Indonesia-Malaysia land border. The rent-seeking phenomenon in sugar imports involves many actors interested in importing sugar for business purposes. This study is intriguing because interest actors conduct rent-seeking through regulatory loopholes controlled by the bureaucracy on the border of the two countries. Therefore, this study focused on the actor's strategy to realise sugar imports through rent-seeking practices. This article applied the Rational Choice Institutionalism (RCI) theory as an analytical framework. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach in data collection, this article found that sugar imports for business purposes involve two networks of interest groups, namely communal networks and associational networks. These interest group networks import sugar for business purposes through rent-seeking practices. As a form of actor's choice of action, rent-seeking is a strategy in responding to obstacles and incentives from formal institutions to maximise profits from the reality of the gap in the sugar trade at the border. The variations in the strategies of interest actors in the two sugar import periods (2011-2014 and 2015-2018) have shown that rent-seeking is a form of a rational choice institution created within an institutional framework. This investigation suggests a review of the formal institutional structure, which is the rule of the game in sugar imports because reality demonstrates that formal institutional structures can become an arena of rent-seeking that interest actors exploit

Abstract

This article explores stakeholders influence in the policy formulation of anti-violence against women and children by using the stakeholder salience model as a conceptual framework. Stakeholder engagement in policy formulation is essential to achieving optimal policy practise and performance. However, the contestation of interests and imbalance of power between stakeholders in the policy formulation of anti-violence against women and children inhibit the development of policy alternatives based on problem solving, resulting in low policy performance. The research method used is qualitative research with a case study approach, and the stakeholder analysis method is applied to the data analysis. The research findings demonstrate that the policy formulation of anti-violence against women and children is dominated by dependent stakeholders with only power and legitimacy attributes, while the attributes of urgency are not available, reflected in their inattentiveness in providing a quick response to the rising cases of violence and their lack of knowledge on the issue of violence. This study concludes that stakeholders' influence in the policy process is limited. Stakeholders are only involved during public hearings, and the policy is only drafted and discussed by the policy elite, specifically Commission VI of the Aceh Legislative Council, an expert’s team, and the Aceh Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Unit. It indicates that stakeholder engagement is only to gain legitimacy for policy decisions. This research contributes to providing knowledge about stakeholder dynamics in policy formulation contexts and theoretical knowledge about the creation of the most powerful and influential stakeholders for maximising policy formulation and policy performance.
