Abstract

This paper explained how harmful the implementation of good governance has been to the well-being of Indonesian people. The concept of good governance starts as a prescription from international finance institution to fix the economic condition of developing state and bring them towards prosperity. On recent developments, good governance has instead become an instrument of control to dictate the policy-making of developing state. This paper argued that good governance actually represents neoliberalism agenda which seeks to engineer the economic landscape of a certain country so it can be more compatible to the needs of global market. This would be proven by problematizing the concept of good governance as well as analysis on the definition of good governance provided by five of its main proponents: UN, UNDP, IMF, World Bank and OECD. Further evidence will be shown through case study in the implementation of Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development (MP3EI) which was made in the name of commitment to good governance principle. This paper found that the implementation MP3EI was only advantageous for businessmen and big corporates but tormenting the people of Indonesia. This was a paradox since good governance which is supposed to make a prosperous state instead tormenting the people that should be the state’s main constituent.

Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility of strengthening the theory of regionness through the concept of social capital. The urgency for this topic arises from stagnating trend of regionalism project across the globe and the lack of discussions in the role of social aspect in regionalism. According to Björn Hettne and Fredrik Söderbaum’s theory on regionness, the intensification of social interaction at the grassroot level will pave a way for the creation of a new entity they referred to as the ‘regional state’. However, the theory’s fallacy came from its reliance on an assumption that social interaction will always lead to convergence. As has been proven by the case of Brexit, sometimes social interaction can also cause divergence and the collapse of the regionalism project itself. This paper employs literature review method to argue that the concept of social capital can complement this theory. It argues that social capital, which is an immaterial resources created through social interactions, will be able to increase the degree of regionness in one region. Furthermore, this paper will also open up a possibility to include sociology study, namely the theory of social understanding, in complementing the theory of regionness and social capital. This paper concludes that regionness is a social capital brought to the regional level as part of a joint effort to create a new governance system unimagined by any individuals alone.
