Abstract

This study aimed to unravel how far the concept of leadership development for agility has gone into the curriculum of higher education institutions (HEI) as an indication of their preparedness for educating public servants in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) policy environment of today. A qualitative, systematic analytical method was adopted by referencing the public policy and administration schools of the world's top 100 ranked universities in The Times Higher Education World University Overall Rankings 2024. The results were categorized into three executive programs with the potential for leadership enhancement through customized arrangements, two executive programs with the label of "leadership," and one executive program that specifically addresses agility-relevant leadership development for the VUCA era. The study concluded that leadership development focusing on agility is still at an infancy/early stage of adoption by the world's public policy and administration schools. This study made a step forward by identifying where the programs are already running, down to the point where the university is running, and which public policy and administration programs. The practical implications of the study reside in its referential value for those governments and/or their professionals in identifying where services are provided.

Abstract

Studies on regional collaborative governance based on China's institutional context are abundant, but the leadership perspective behind regional collaborative governance has rarely been discussed in previous studies. Based on a review of relational leadership theory, this study adopts the grounded theory methodology to study the three cities bordering Guangdong, Hunan, and Guangxi provinces, condensing the components of relational leadership in regional collaborative governance and the general explanatory framework. The research found that relational leadership in regional collaborative governance is composed of mission-driven, social capital, governance resources, trust shaping, common learning, interaction mechanisms, and public value. Among them, mission-driven is the motivation, social capital and governance resources are the basic conditions, trust shaping and common learning are actions, the interaction mechanism is the carrier, and public value creation is the goal. At present, the main problem of regional collaborative governance is that the governance mechanism is "built but not run." It is necessary to build an effective network governance system through the relational leadership of leaders, improve the overall public leadership of regional governance, and promote a governance system to operate more effectively. This research not only explores the dynamic leadership process of regional collaborative governance, but also enriches the micro perspective of regional collaborative governance research, expands the theoretical space of collaborative leadership, makes up the "leadership deficit" in the field of regional collaborative governance, and has reference significance and practical enlightenment for further promoting the performance of collaborative governance in the cross-region context.

Abstract

This study examines the intersection of traditional legal services and technological innovation by employing an Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). Our primary focus is on the protracted dispute between the Korean Bar Association and the LawTalk legal service platform. Emerging legal service platforms, such as LawTalk, have disrupted conventional legal frameworks, resulting in substantial regulatory and ethical disputes as digital transformation accelerates, as was particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research examines the development of this conflict over a nine-year period, utilizing the ACF to analyze the roles and influence of the various advocacy coalitions involved. Our findings underscore the dual challenge of integrating new technologies within the rigid structures of traditional legal systems. The conflict, which is primarily focused on the legality and ethical implications of LawTalk's business model, is indicative of more general tensions between innovation and regulation. The critical role of neutral intermediaries in balancing stakeholder interests and adapting policies to technological advancements is underscored by the resolution process, which is mediated by policy brokers such as the Ministry of Justice. The case of LawTalk not only elucidates the intricacies of policy change in the digital era, but also provides valuable insights into the management of sectoral transformations that adhere to both established regulatory norms and innovation. This study elucidates the necessity of ongoing dialogue and adaptation in policy frameworks to accommodate technological change, thereby contributing to our understanding of policy dynamics in the legal domain.

Abstract

This study explores the complexities of political hoaxes on social media through the lens of multimodal forensic linguistics, focusing on integrating verbal and visual elements in the construction and dissemination of misinformation. By analyzing five prominent political hoaxes in the Indonesian context, the research applies a multimodal pragmatic framework, incorporating semantic representations of an individual mode, semantic representation of multimodal mode, and inferential meanings elaborated using post-truth escapism to examine the mechanisms of hoax narrative construction. The findings reveal how hoaxes use multimodal meanings across modes to manipulate public opinion and foster post-truth realities. The study highlights the critical role of multimodal elements, such as visual mode combined with emotive language in verbal mode, to reinforce hoaxes and shape ideologically biased narratives. It further discusses the implications of these findings for forensic linguistic analysis, emphasizing the need for refined methodologies that incorporate both verbal and visual modes in legal discourse. The study contributes to the growing field of multimodal forensic linguistics by offering a comprehensive approach to analyzing political hoaxes and their strategy for eroding trust in factual information.

Abstract

The territorial dispute in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) has long been a significant threat to the peace and security of not only the Philippines but also of the broader Indo-Pacific region. Despite the emergence of other key global issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, tensions in the disputed islands have continued to escalate, compelling the Philippines to pursue various strategies to protect and promote its national interests. This research aims to analyze and compare the consistency and coherence of the foreign policy strategies pursued by the last three administrations, namely the Aquino, Duterte, and Marcos Jr. administrations, with regard to the WPS. It seeks to understand and evaluate the foreign policy of each administration through the lens of both international relations and public policy theories. To produce substantive qualitative research, the author utilized a variety of data sources, including relevant literature, interviews with Philippine diplomats, and official statements by the Presidents. Considering that the Philippines elects a new president every six years and a confluence of factors affect its foreign policy, this paper advocates for a consistent and coherent foreign policy that transcends presidential terms. Given that war is never an option for the country, the President, as the chief architect of Philippine foreign policy, must exhaust all diplomatic measures available to protect and promote the nation's interests.

Abstract

This paper discusses limited responsiveness of the public organizations to contemporary social norms. Bureaucracy is sometimes said to be slow and inadequate to accept new principles, but most preceding studies did not directly analyze its causes. This study takes the cases of the European Union and Japan and analyzes the intra and extra organizational impediments in the process of internalization of the gender norms into these personnel administration and draws a hypothesis of the cause(s) of bureaucratic limited responsiveness toward contemporary social norms by the method of agreement. In both cases, gender-related provisions existed in their regulation on staffing from its early days, but its effectiveness was enhanced only recently. In case of the EU before 2000, those responsible for the staffing were initially hesitant to incorporate gender criteria into its policy, and even after recognizing the importance of the norm, they had little idea on how to realize it. In case of Japan, effectiveness of legislation regarding gender equality has been incremental, which represented the practitioners' struggle on conflicting considerations on staffing. Through this analysis, the paper draws a conclusion that public organizations have developed and maintained its basic principles to strengthen its legitimacy and autonomy against its political control, but this bureaucratic practice paradoxically makes the organization less sensitive to newly emerged social norms.

Abstract

Digital sociocracy merges digital technology with sociocratic principles to improve participatory governance. This framework utilizes digital tools to enhance inclusivity, transparency, and efficiency across sectors such as urban management and energy systems. It advocates eight principles: Accountability, Equivalence, Consent, Transparency, Empiricism, Continuous Improvement, Digital, and Effectiveness to tackle governance challenges and support sustainable development. In Southeast Asia, the application of digital sociocracy encounters challenges such as digital literacy gaps and socioeconomic disparities. However, there are significant opportunities, as evidenced by initiatives that enhance governance quality and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Singapore has emerged as a leader in adopting digital tools for participative governance, while other nations have shown varied progress and obstacles. This research formulates a quantitative model to evaluate the feasibility of digital sociocracy by employing indicators from global databases, such as the World Bank and SDG dashboards. These findings underscore the potential of digital sociocracy to bridge governance gaps, enhance citizen engagement, and promote equitable development. This study offers a strategic framework for policymakers to address the complexity of digital governance in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This study examines at the role of digital talent in Japan's local governments amid the COVID-19 pandemic-induced increased drive for digital transformation (DX). As local governments work to standardize their information systems by 2025, a serious scarcity of digital expertise presents a huge obstacle. The study takes a mixed-methods approach, examining both qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys performed by the Japan Municipal Research Center, which included representatives from 815 municipalities, to evaluate strategies for acquiring and nurturing digital talent. The findings show that local governments typically use two strategies: acquiring experienced IT workers and building digital knowledge among existing civil servants through extensive training. The effectiveness of these strategies varies, with some municipalities successfully improving their digital capabilities while others continue to struggle due to insufficient alignment with organizational needs and a lack of understanding of local government functions among externally recruited professionals. The study shows that, while technical abilities are required, digital talent's ability to coordinate and integrate within the municipal environment has a substantial impact on the success of DX programs. Effective digital transformation necessitates not only the recruitment of persons with strong ICT abilities, but also the development of robust coordination and negotiating skills among digital staff in order to encourage holistic governance and combine digital plans with larger municipal duties. This approach emphasizes the importance of a diverse skill set among digital talent in navigating the intricacies of public sector digitization under Japan's bureaucratic norms.
