Abstract

Investment is an important component in regional economic development, but its realization in Garut District is still far from the set target. This research aims to analyze the role of the government in strengthening institutions to support the implementation of investment policies in Garut District. A qualitative method is used to collect and analyze data, with in-depth interviews involving approximately 18 informants, consisting of related services, investors, and the community, supported by a documentation study. The research results show that there is a significant gap between interest in investment and its realization in Garut District, mainly due to the government’s suboptimal role in strengthening institutions related to investment. The main challenges identified include inconsistent regulations, bureaucratic obstacles, and weaknesses in coordination and communication between executing institutions. This research emphasizes the importance of strengthening the institutional framework as a prerequisite for implementing effective investment policies at the regional level. From a theoretical perspective, this research contributes to the development of concepts regarding the institutional role in the implementation of investment policies. From a practical perspective, the results of this research can provide input for the Garut District government in formulating strategies to improve coordination, data availability, and the simplification of investment management procedures, thereby increasing investment realization and fostering regional economic growth.

Abstract

Digitalization of business administration in government is a strategic step in realizing a smart government that is more efficient, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the community. This study aims to analyze the role of digitalization in government business administration, identify strategies that can be applied to support the transformation towards smart government, and examine the challenges faced in the digitalization process. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, technology experts, and academics, as well as through analysis of documents and policies related to government digitalization. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles & Huberman method, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, as well as using data triangulation to increase the validity of the research results. The results of the study show that digitalization of business administration in government plays a significant role in increasing the efficiency of public services, reducing complex bureaucracy, and accelerating data-based decision-making. Digitalization of government is a strategy towards a smart government that is efficient, transparent, and responsive. With digital technology, governments can improve public services, speed up administration, and support data-based decision-making. The implementation of e-budgeting, e-procurement, and e-audit strengthens modern and accountable governance. However, challenges such as the digital divide, limited internet access, high costs, low digital literacy, and data security need to be addressed through strong digital infrastructure, education, and regulations. The success of digitalization depends on the readiness of the community and apparatus, as well as the inclusiveness of services, in order to create an effective, transparent government that improves public welfare.

Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates the role of change management and transformational leadership in implementing the BNN One Stop Service (BOSS), an e-government initiative by Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency. Drawing on the STOPE framework, the study analyzes data from interviews, document reviews, and observations at BNN's work units in Bali Province. The findings reveal that successful BOSS implementation requires both strategic leadership direction and comprehensive change management approaches. Key success factors include clear regulations, robust SOPs, effective communication channels, and targeted training programs. While leadership actively monitors implementation progress, collaboration with external stakeholders proves crucial for expanding service reach. However, varying e-readiness levels across work units pose implementation challenges. The study yields significant implications across multiple domains. At the policy level, it suggests developing differentiated implementation frameworks based on organizational readiness. For practitioners, it emphasizes establishing comprehensive change protocols before digital transformation initiatives. Theoretically, it extends the STOPE framework by demonstrating the critical intersection between transformational leadership and change management in e-government implementation. For public sector organizations, the findings indicate that successful digital transformation requires not only technological infrastructure but also leadership commitment, systematic change processes, and sustained stakeholder engagement. These insights particularly benefit developing nations pursuing similar public service digital initiatives.

Abstract

The growth of technology for sharing information and communicating has led to major changes in how countries manage their affairs and conduct foreign relations. This study examines how online rule-making and smart diplomacy act as new ways to manage state affairs, changing with global trends. This study uses a simple descriptive method using book reviews and text examination techniques. Indonesia's shift to digital administration is a key strategy to create an effective and inclusive government system using technology and to enhance its global reputation with smart diplomatic methods. Digital rules create fast services using data studies and smart diplomacy, combining tradition with learning and protection to keep digital conversations safe for state purposes. Cities across the border are joining in as local cities become more involved and Indonesia grows its soft influence. Collaborative efforts lay the foundation for Indonesia to address global issues with flexible, environmentally friendly strategies that support Indonesia's digital plan for 2045.

Abstract

This article critically re-examines how immigration is framed across five dominant global paradigms: security, economic utility, humanitarian obligation, cultural integration, and global mobility. Drawing on a critical interpretive synthesis of interdisciplinary literature, it unpacks the ideological, ethical, and policy logics embedded in each framework. While each paradigm offers distinct insights, the analysis reveals their internal contradictions, blind spots, and overlapping tensions. The paper argues for a pluralistic and ethically grounded approach to migration governance, one that integrates competing logics without collapsing complexity. By mapping these paradigms and their normative stakes, the study offers a conceptual toolkit for designing migration policies that are context-sensitive, morally coherent, and institutionally realistic. It contributes to a growing body of scholarship that challenges technocratic and securitarian approaches to migration, calling instead for frameworks that are attentive to justice, human agency, and global interdependence. In a world increasingly defined by mobility, inequality, and uncertainty, this article contends that rethinking immigration governance is not only possible but necessary. Through a nuanced engagement with diverse schools of thought, it seeks to enrich scholarly debate and inform principled policymaking that reflects both empirical realities and ethical imperatives.
