Although the design of good governance through a new developmentalism framework has been implemented in rural Indonesia, village development still faces mixed results. Some villages are increasingly self-sufficient, while others are stagnant. This article proposes a framework to measure the capacity of the village government to find variations in effectiveness in village development. The framework focuses on governability to increase development effectiveness. This framework measures all community systems or activities from a governance perspective, starting from the variables of diversity, complexity, and dynamics, including properties such as resilience, vulnerability, risk, and others. The governance framework consists of three main components: the system-to-be-governed, the governing system, and governance interactions. Within this framework, the village development system includes a system to be governed (participation, deliberation, and social capital); a governance system (state, market, and civil society institutions that regulate this development); and the linkages between the two (all the interactions between those involved in village development). Together, these main components of governance form the theoretical basis for analyzing and assessing governance in village development in Indonesia. This article adds a more applicable discussion of governability by providing a framework for assessing governance in rural development.
