Abstract

Inclusive governance typically denotes an ethical framework that assures jointly, participatory, and culturally sensitive policy-making, especially in the execution of urban child protection initiatives. This research digs into and discusses the public discourse around the Indonesian Kota Layak Anak (Child-Friendly City/KLA) policy, examining the different media narratives on how they emancipate, legitimize, obfuscate, or thwart the principles of inclusive governance. By using a corpus-assisted discourse analysis (CADS) method, the authors carry out an analysis of 136 articles from different national and local media that were published between 2011 and 2025, and talk about the KLA implementation in Surakarta. The analysis operationalizes inclusive governance along system (collaborative, multi-level governance), actor (accountability, deliberative participation), and culture (community-driven governance) dimensions. The findings reveal that community narratives and cultural narratives prevail discursively and that these heavily draw on local traditions, communal involvement, and symbolic activities. Conversely, accountability and institutional collaboration are practically absent from media scrutiny, often mentioned in passing or in gratuitous terms. The media appears to portray KLA more as a ceremonial success rather than an arena for structural policy reform. The article proposes a discourse analysis framework for understanding how these narratives support or undermine inclusive governance. The study thus contributes to the literature of governance evaluation, policy framing, and discourse analysis by designing a replicable method to assess how the public narration mirrors or masks multi-actor urban policy realities.

Abstract

Leadership style has a significant impact on the development of Indonesia bureaucratic structure. In 2024, under the administration of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming, the number of ministers and deputy ministers increased significantly compared to previous administrations. This phenomenon is in line with Parkinson Bureaucracy theory, stating that a bureaucratic structure extends beyond practical necessity, resulting in inefficiency and possibly ineffectiveness, contrary to the principles of good governance. Bureaucratic growth often leads to unnecessary expenditures and budgetary waste due to overlapping responsibilities, preventing effective governance and service delivery. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the development of Parkinson Bureaucracy in the cabinet of Indonesia and analyze the effects on efficiency, reform in governance, and public service delivery. A systematic literature review method was used to analyze previous studies, policy analyses, and relevant data with a focus on determining the extent to which administrative structure are consistent with governance principles. The results showed that the enlarged cabinet structure contributed to increased inefficiencies and, concomitantly, greater coordination challenges and higher administrative overhead costs, limiting funds for public welfare investments. These structural inefficiencies underscore the urgent need for rightsizing and reforms aimed at optimizing roles, minimizing redundancies, and fostering accountability as well as transparency. Simplifying bureaucratic structure is important to improve responsiveness, decision-making processes, and efficiency outcomes in governance. Therefore, under the ideals of good governance, Indonesia must place priorities on reforms that increase the efficiency of public service orientation and structural complexity. This study emphasizes the urgent need for actions towards Parkinson bureaucracy.
