Abstract

This article seeks to discuss a shift in paradigm in public service policy from full government responsibility toward the larger participation of civil society in public service provision. The dominant paradigm is that conventionally the government positions itself as the provider of services, whereas the people perceive themselves as the beneficiaries because as the tax payers they assume every right to enjoy the services. However this paradigm has been challenged by the fact that in recent development the governments in many countries have shown their inability to shoulder the full responsibility in public services and have rendered part of the responsibility to the communities. A number of studies conducted in these countries concluded that there is a tendency toward an increase in civic engagement in the forms of coproduction and synergy between the government and the communities in service provision. Recent government policies in several municipalities in Brazil that allow citizens’ participation in the planning, budgeting, implementing and monitoring many kinds of public services are provided as an example to show that a new paradigm is being adopted to replace the old one. In Indonesia, despite a longtime recognition of community participation in development in the form of swadaya masyarakat or community contribution in development, in most instances the government still perceives itself as the sole benefactor of public services. Some structural and cultural problems must be addressed before the new paradigm can be fully adopted in this country.

Abstract

This article is aimed at explaining the development of social capital theory and its contribution in addressing social problems. Despite its first introduction in the early 20th century by Lyda Judson Hanifan the term social capital has gained prominence in social science only since its reintroduction by James Coleman in 1988 and through the subsequent work of Robert Putnam. Social capital defined by Putnam as features of social organization such as networks, trust and norms of reciprocity that facilitate cooperation for mutual benefits, has inspired many social scientists to conduct studies on the conditions of social capital in various communities in many countries. Interestingly, some of the studies have contributed to the enrichment of the social capital theory by introducing new related concepts and methods of measurement. On the practical side social capital has gained wider recognition by international aid agencies, especially the World Bank, and has been used as a powerful concept for poverty alleviation through people empowerment in many developing countries, including Indonesia.
