The implementation of social policies for Concurrent Government Affairs in the Nias Archipelago Area, Sumatera Utara Province, is still experiencing inequality, especially from the aspect of budget allocation. This article aims to analyze these problems, using a qualitative descriptive method, data sourced from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia (2022). We use data analysis techniques through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that (1) out of 33 regencies/cities in Sumatera Utara Province, 5 regencies/cities in the Nias Archipelago Area, namely Nias Regency, Nias Selatan Regency, Nias Utara Regency, Nias Barat Regency, and Gunungsitoli City experienced significant imbalances in budget extreme allocations with 28 non-island (mainland) regions and below the provincial average. The lack of social policies will have a significant effect on the implementation of Optional Concurrent Government Affairs in the archipelago; and (2) Conceptually, it is important to pay attention to the principles of accountability, efficiency, externality, and national strategic interests in treating archipelagic areas through increased transfer funds – including the General Allocation Fund (DAU) and the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) - as specifically regulated in Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Local Government. It is hoped that the novelty of this research can become material for evaluating policies of the central and provincial governments. This research can have implications for accelerating development, especially in island areas.

The decentralization policy gives authority to local governments to design and implement programs that are in accordance with local needs, including the Family Hope Program (PKH) as one of the social protection instruments. PKH aims to improve social welfare through conditional social assistance that encourages poor people's access to education and health. This study contributes by revealing how decentralization affects the effectiveness of PKH implementation in urban areas, especially through the distribution of social assistance, and its impact on improving social welfare in Medan City. This analysis is expected to strengthen evidence-based policies in realizing equal social welfare in urban areas, especially Medan City. However, the effectiveness of this policy still requires further study to understand its specific impact on the community in Medan City. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Decentralization Policy and the Family Hope Program (PKH) on Social Welfare in Medan City with the Intervening Media of the Social Assistance Program. The sample used a purposive sampling technique to obtain respondents who were relevant to the study. The research method used was quantitative research, namely by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents from the Medan City community, North Sumatra who received Social Assistance and the Family Hope Program (PKH). The results of this study: 1) There is an influence of Decentralization Policy on Social Welfare in Medan City, North Sumatra with a value of 24.1%; 2) There is an influence of the Family Hope Program (PKH) on Social Welfare in Medan City, North Sumatra 45.7%; 3) The magnitude of the influence of the Social Assistance Program on Social Welfare partially is 2.5%; 4) The magnitude of the influence of the Decentralization Policy and the Family Hope Program (PKH) on Social Welfare in Medan City with the Intervening Media of the Social Assistance Program is: 67.5% + 2.5% = 70%.

Indonesia is experiencing a shift from a welfare state to a power state, where public policies are increasingly influenced by oligarchs and shadow governments. This study uses qualitative methods, namely: 1) Using descriptive-critical analysis to understand the phenomenon of public policy shifts; 2) Examining the role of political and economic actors in shaping state policies. This study analyzes the transformation with a qualitative approach through literature study and public policy analysis. The results show that the dominance of elite groups in decision-making hinders democratization, exacerbates social inequality, and reduces government transparency. The implications of this research are: 1) Theoretical Implications, namely: a) Development of State Theory and Public Policy; b) Criticism of Democracy and Welfare Theory; c) Contribution to the Study of Governance and Political Corruption. 2) Practical Implications, namely: a) Policy Recommendations for the Government; b) Increasing Community and Civil Society Participation; c) Improvement of the Legal System and Anti-Corruption Enforcement; d) Reform of Political Parties and the Electoral System. The solutions offered by the author are: 1) Increasing Transparency and Accountability of Government; 2) Strengthening Democracy and Community Participation; 3) Public Policy Reform for People's Welfare; 4) Suppressing the Domination of Oligarchs and Shadow Government; 5) Strengthening the Legal System and Rule Enforcement. With these solutions, it is hoped that the transformation of public policy can be oriented back to the welfare of the people, not only to the interests of the ruling elite.
