This study aims to explore the characteristics of political leaders in Africa through the perspectives of international students originating from the continent. The characteristics of political leadership in Africa are often influenced by complex historical, social and economic contexts. In this study, the authors use a qualitative approach with interviews and surveys to collect data from international students from various countries in Africa. The main aim of this study is to understand how students view the characteristics of political leaders in their home countries, including attributes such as charisma, communication skills, accountability mechanisms, transparency and good governance. This study also examines how these perceptions can help shape a broader understanding of political leadership in Africa, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by political leaders in the region. It is hoped that the findings from this research will contribute to the development of political leadership theory in Africa and provide deeper insight into political dynamics on the continent.

This study aims to analyze the impact of neoliberal political economy in the context of higher education, precisely at Universitas Hasanuddin. The main focus of the study is to explore how the marketization process of higher education affects the accessibility and quality of education. The approach used in this study is qualitative with data collection methods through semi-structured interviews with 30 students and documentation studies related to the policies implemented at Hasanuddin University. The results show that the application of neoliberal principles in higher education management, such as an emphasis on efficiency, commercialization of educational services, and adapting the curriculum to market needs, has a significant impact on the accessibility of education for students from low economic backgrounds, as well as affecting the quality of education received. Apart from that, this marketization also has the potential to create inequality in the distribution of resources and create a gap between universities that have more funds and those that have less. It is hoped that these findings will provide deeper insight into the impact of neoliberal political economy on higher education and propose policies to improve access and quality of education at the state universities in Indonesia.

This study examines the impact of decentralization on governance and political accountability in Madagascar, where reforms aim to bring government closer to citizens and enhance service delivery, participation, and accountability. Despite these intentions, concerns persist about the practical effectiveness of decentralization at the local level. Employing a qualitative approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews with 40 participants, comprising 20 citizens from various regions and 20 political actors, including mayors, parliamentary assistants, and local officials. These perspectives reveal that decentralization has improved physical access to government structures and opened limited avenues for citizen engagement. However, its implementation remains weak and uneven. Key challenges include limited financial and technical resources, low administrative capacity, and ineffective accountability mechanisms. In many instances, responsibilities have been devolved without adequate support, leading to frustration among both citizens and local authorities. The findings suggest that meaningful decentralization requires not only the transfer of authority but also robust institutional frameworks, sustained capacity-building, and inclusive governance practices. By highlighting the lived realities of both citizens and officials, this study provides practical insights for policymakers and development partners seeking to enhance the effectiveness of local governance and strengthen democratic accountability in Madagascar.

This study investigates the role of technology in school resource management in public elementary schools in Madagascar. The study adopts a qualitative research methodology, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation as primary data collection techniques. The key informants for this study are 10 school principals from various public elementary schools across Madagascar, selected based on their experience and administrative roles. The findings of this study highlight three critical aspects: first, technology plays a significant role in enhancing school management efficiency, allowing for better planning, communication, and monitoring of school resources. Second, it contributes to the improvement of school archives, with digital records providing easy access, security, and long-term preservation of important school documents. Finally, the study reveals several challenges to technology adoption, including limited digital literacy among staff, inadequate infrastructure, and financial constraints that hinder the full integration of technology in resource management. The study concludes by recommending targeted training programs for school staff, enhanced funding for technological infrastructure, and the development of a clear digital resource management policy tailored to the needs of public elementary schools in Madagascar.

This study explores key dimensions of governance in developing countries, with a focus on the factors that influence government effectiveness, institutional integrity, and public accountability. Using a qualitative approach methodology, the study uses documentation analysis as its primary method, drawing on secondary data from reputable sources such as World Bank reports, government documents, and publications by international organizations. The findings highlight persistent challenges faced by developing nations, including weak institutions, limited civic participation, inefficient service delivery, inconsistent regulatory practices, and systemic corruption. Despite numerous reform efforts, progress has often been hindered by lack of political will, inadequate resources, and entrenched power structures. However, the study also identifies examples of best practices and emerging innovations such as digital governance tools and community-based accountability mechanisms that offer potential pathways for improvement. By analyzing these governance dimensions, the study provides a nuanced understanding of the structural and contextual factors that influence governance effectiveness in developing contexts, offering insights for policymakers, development partners, and scholars seeking to promote more inclusive and accountable governance systems.

This study explores drivers’ experiences of traffic police corruption in Madagascar, focusing on operations within the National Police and Gendarmerie. Using qualitative research methods, the study conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 30 drivers from diverse socio-economic backgrounds who regularly interacted with traffic authorities in urban and rural regional in Madagascar. The interviews aimed to explore drivers’ perceptions, personal experiences, and coping strategies for navigating traffic encounters caused by corruption. The results indicate that drivers face frequent bribery demands from traffic police, especially in cases of minor infractions, where bribery is considered an effective means to avoid legal penalties. The study also highlights the role of power dynamics and lack of accountability in these corrupt practices. Informal networks of drivers and police contribute to a cycle of mutual reinforcement. Drivers’ responses also reveal a widespread erosion of trust in both the national police and gendarmerie, which are seen as a barrier to effective policing and public safety. The study underscores the need for reform of law enforcement practices, enhanced oversight, increased public awareness, and highlighting the critical role of the government in reducing corruption and improving traffic law enforcement in Madagascar.

This study explores bullying prevention and intervention strategies in five public and private elementary schools in Sakaraha, Madagascar. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, the study employed three data collection methods: observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and school principals, and documentary analysis of school records and policies. The primary aim was to investigate the prevalence and types of bullying, the awareness of bullying among students and staff, and the effectiveness of current prevention programs. Findings revealed that bullying, particularly verbal and social exclusion, is prevalent during unstructured times such as recess and transitions between classes. While teachers and principals expressed awareness of bullying issues, their responses varied in consistency and effectiveness, with some schools having more active prevention measures than others. School policies on bullying were generally available but lacked detailed, practical guidelines for addressing the issue. Triangulation of data from the three sources confirmed the need for more consistent implementation of anti-bullying practices, clearer communication of policies, and greater student involvement in prevention efforts. The study highlights the importance of a cohesive, school-wide approach to bullying prevention, emphasizing the need for teacher training, student empowerment, and ongoing evaluation of intervention outcomes.
