Abstract

This essay examines the extent to which the village government is institutionally accessible in conveying development data to its citizens. Dervin (1973) defines institutional accessibility as the ability and willingness of public institutions to provide individuals with essential information. The easily accessible nature of such governmental entities would result in greater accountability and transparency in government administration, development, and community responsibility, which are constitutional obligations of state institutions. The authors describe the Rabakodo Village administration's level of public accountability in managing development operations, as evidenced by institutional accessibility to creating general information disclosure. This is a descriptive-qualitative study that uses focus group discussions and in-depth interviews as the primary methods of data collection. Public accountability may not have been fully implemented up to this point due to the lack of serious consideration given to the attempts to develop responsible village governance in Rabakodo Village. The lack of sincerity can be seen in the absence of adequate communication media to publicize the village development program while meeting the community's needs for information on specific development operations. The village government's failure to optimize the availability of different communication platforms and provide full access to village development information posed a barrier to increasing participatory democracy, inclusiveness, and public accountability. Such a low level of institutional accessibility steadily diminishes the possibility of confronting detrimental practices, non-populist policies, and the corrupt orientation of village-level state actors.

Abstract

This article examines the energy trilemma faced by Indonesia in the context of the nickel industry, focusing on three main aspects: the reliability of energy supply, environmental sustainability, and economic accessibility. With the global demand for nickel in electric vehicle batteries increasing, Indonesia, as one of the largest nickel producers, faces significant challenges in ensuring a stable, environmentally friendly, and affordable energy supply for nickel processing and extraction. The study uses data analysis from the mining and energy sectors to evaluate how current energy policies impact the nickel industry. It also explores the use of renewable energy sources in nickel mining operations and their impact on environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the article assesses the economic accessibility of the energy used in the nickel industry, considering the importance of nickel in the Indonesian economy. Findings indicate that despite progress in renewable energy utilization, challenges remain in production scalability and long-term sustainability. The article proposes strategies for optimizing energy resource management in the nickel industry, emphasizing the importance of technological innovation, supportive policies, and international cooperation. This research provides essential insights for policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders in addressing the energy trilemma in Indonesia, particularly in the context of the evolving nickel industry.

Abstract

Abstract:Political corruption refers to the misuse of public office for personal gain or the abuse of political power for illegitimate ends. It manifests itself in various forms, including bribery, cronyism, nepotism, embezzlement, fraud, and abuse of public resources. Political corruption not only undermines the rule of law and democracy but also weakens public trust in government institutions and hinders economic development.The detrimental effects of political corruption are far-reaching and can have a significant impact on society as a whole. It increases inequality and poverty, reduces public access to essential services, and deprives citizens of their fundamental rights and freedoms. Moreover, political corruption also distorts public policies, compromises public safety, and promotes political instability.Overcoming political corruption requires the implementation of effective anti-corruption laws and institutions that hold public officials accountable for their actions. Such efforts require a combination of political will, public participation, and international cooperation. However, addressing political corruption is an ongoing challenge, and continuous efforts are required to prevent its resurgence in different forms and contexts.Keywords: Corruption, Government officials, Political corruption.

Abstract

This article delves into the strategic model of political lies, highlighting the intricate nature of this phenomenon within a political framework. Politicians use various strategies to formulate and disseminate lies, ranging from positive campaigns to negative ones. In positive campaigns, lies create a more favorable public perception of politicians, while in negative campaigns, these undermine opponents' standing, instill doubt, and undermine their credibility. Politicians derive immediate advantages from political lies, such as increased popularity and favorable public perceptions, but must also consider potential future costs, including forfeiting public trust and political ramifications. The strategies employed to deal with political lies vary significantly based on political circumstances. Politicians navigate the delicate balance between short-term political advantage and upholding ethical principles in the political sphere. Political lies can quickly garner support and enhance popularity, but they can also undermine public trust, diminish political credibility, and have enduring consequences for a politician's image. Addressing the issue of political lying requires a multifaceted approach that tackles its root causes while safeguarding democratic principles. Voters are crucial to maintaining accountability by exercising their right to vote and assuming control over the democratic process.

Abstract

Personality plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's behavior in different situations, including in the realm of public sector employment like the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). The objective of this research is to make a significant contribution to our comprehension of the interplay between ASN personality and performance. This study examines the influence of personality traits, particularly Extroversion, Introversion, Neuroticism, and Agreeableness, on ASN in the public sector. The primary objective is to comprehend the impact of the interplay among these dimensions on communication aptitude, collaboration, the ability to handle stress, and proficiency in fulfilling ASN responsibilities. The methodology employed is a comprehensive review of existing literature. The research findings indicate that this distinctive amalgamation of personalities plays a substantial role in team dynamics, adaptability to change, and efficacy in handling stress and pressure. ASN communication and collaboration skills are influenced by extroversion or introversion. Comprehending these dynamics enables management to create well-rounded teams, leveraging the strengths of extroverts in fostering connections and networking, while capitalizing on the introspective nature of introverts to offer profound insights. The findings suggest that managers should consider implementing training programs and human resource management strategies that specifically target the development of communication, collaboration, and stress management skills in individuals with ASNs. To summarize, an in-depth understanding of personality dimensions is crucial for attaining success in the dynamic work environment of the public sector.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of technological innovation on the transformation of public administration through the implementation of e-government in Indonesia. The main objective of this research is to analyze the extent to which the implementation of e-government has contributed to efficiency, transparency, and community involvement in the delivery of public services. The research methodology involves a case-study approach to e-government implementation at various levels of government in Indonesia. The results of this research highlight the positive impact of information and communication technology (ICT) innovation in the transformation of public policy, especially in Indonesia. The digitalization of public services, increasing transparency and public participation through social media, efficiency and cost savings through process automation, and efforts to increase data security are key points that support the transformation of public administration. The implementation of e-government in Indonesia, driven by central government policy, reflects efforts to improve services, efficiency, and community involvement. However, challenges such as the digital divide, resistance to change, legal and regulatory issues, and the need for inclusive public participation are things that need to be considered in implementing ICT innovation in public policy. Taking these challenges into account, this research concludes that ICT innovation can be a significant driver in achieving positive transformation in public administration, provided that it is necessary to overcome the obstacles that arise.

Abstract

Under Jokowi’s presidency, the BRI project was able to further strengthen the bilateral ties between Indonesia and China. This study aims to analyse and focus on: first, the pros and cons of Indonesia's interests in the BRI projects under Jokowi's presidency; second, the political leadership of Jokowi in managing and implementing BRI projects in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach to gather comprehensive data through a literature review. As an analytical tool for this research, the author used the political leadership theory by Kalevi Jaakko Holsti. The finding showed that, first, those who are pro-BRI will provide full support, supervision, and evaluation from year to year. Meanwhile, there are several cons to the BRI project due to fear of the debt trap, the influx of Chinese workers, the environmental damage, the overlapping maritime claims, anti-communist sentiment, and the image of Chinese products. The negative sentiment towards the BRI project can be eased with a soft-infrastructure approach that touches community (people-to-people) bonds. Second, regarding Jokowi's eight-year leadership, Jokowi's type of political leadership is more directed as a conciliator, especially in the China BRI project. It is based on Jokowi's record of making China a good partner and big brother.

Abstract

Bandung is the 3rd metropolitan city and one of the main tourist destinations in Indonesia, which provides various benefits, such as opening up employment opportunities because there are various business fields that are developing. It also increases cultural preservation because increasing tourism interest can provide incentives to preserve the heritage, culture, and history of an area. However, despite these various benefits, the high number of tourists often makes traffic jams worse. Therefore,  at the end of 2021, the government launched “Teman Bus” programme with the Buy the Service (BTS) scheme as a new breakthrough that is expected to not only be able to overcome traffic jams but also reduce pollution, supports reform in the transportation sector and can be a means of changing people's behaviour from one that tends to be conventional to one that is more digitally literate. However, the fact is that up to the time the research was conducted, there were still many Bandung residents who had not chosen to switch from private transportation to mass transportation services, so the researchers tried to take an approach using the six implementation variables proposed by Van Meter and Van Horn to find out what factors influenced the course of this policy.

Abstract

The government is very interested in maintaining price stability and the availability of food, especially rice, which is the staple food for almost all of Indonesia's population. One of the efforts made is to organize a cheap SPHP medium rice market operation with the hope that people, especially those with low purchasing power, can meet their needs. This study examines the effectiveness of cheap market operations organized by the Bandung City Government in situations of rice price spikes. The study was conducted using qualitative methods and took cases from three sub-districts. Data was collected through interview techniques, observation, and documentation, and then analysed using an interactive model. The results of the study show that cheap market operations are not an effective strategy to overcome the spike in rice commodity prices. After the implementation of the low-cost operation, the price of rice on the market continues to exceed the highest retail price (HET), and it is difficult for people to obtain rice at an affordable price. To overcome fluctuations in rice prices in the market, implementing market operations is considered more appropriate, and through this policy, the government intervenes in the market with rice from government food reserves managed by Perum BULOG. Apart from ensuring the availability of rice, market intervention can stabilize prices more quickly, have a longer impact, and cover a wider area.
