<![CDATA[The implementation of Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government has brought about fundamental changes in the structure of authority between the central government, provinces, and districts/cities. This study examines the dynamics of governance in West Java Province, with a focus on challenges, institutional responses, and intergovernmental synergy strategies. The results of the study indicate that West Java Province faces various problems, such as institutional unpreparedness, weak cross-government coordination, fiscal limitations, and fragmentation of information systems. Meanwhile, institutional responses indicate efforts to adjust structures and innovate public services, but have not been fully integrated with districts/cities. As a novelty, this study offers a strategic policy framework based on equitable asymmetric decentralization, including the formulation of regional capacity indicators, integration of planning information systems, and strengthening cross-regional collaboration. This research is expected to be a theoretical and practical contribution in formulating a model of regional governance that is adaptive and responsive to the local context.]]>
