Abstract

The role of the Bretton Woods Institutions in Africa has been subjected to intense debate in the literature of International Relations. This is so particularly because of the implications of the Bretton Woods Institutions on the political and economic activities in Africa. The data for this study were collected from secondary sources such as textbooks and journal articles while content analysis was used to analyse the data collected. The "False Paradigm Model," propounded by Michael Todaro which is a variant of the Dependency theory, was used for this study. This study revealed mechanisms put in place by the Bretton Woods Institutions in its relationship with African states and it also undertook a critique of the Bretton woods institutional approach to Africa’s development using the false paradigm model. The study further revealed that in spite of experimenting with external development methods and initiatives by the Bretton Wood Institutions, African Economies have not advanced much in terms of development. It implies that African nations must turn within to find it rather than focusing on the Bretton Woods Institutions requirements.

Abstract

This study investigates the Indonesian government's strategies to safeguard its informal sector in Malaysia, which has experienced considerable human rights violations and exploitation. Such incidents breach both the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Law No. 18 of 2017 on the Indonesian migrant workers' protection. Utilizing the pro-people foreign policy theory and the citizen protection concept, this research explores the government's responses to these issues as a protective measure for its citizens. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data was gathered through library studies. The findings reveal that the Indonesian government, in its bid to protect indonesian women migrant workers in malaysia by 2022, has publicly criticized the Malaysian government, implemented a Moratorium, and pushed for immediate bilateral meetings between the two nations. Hence, the study concludes that these efforts have positively influenced the protection of indonesian women migrant workers in malaysia in 2022

Abstract

The idea of the policy and innovation network in the context of post-disaster governance refers to a set of rules, legislation, regulations, and guidelines that offer guidance for the efforts of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of policies and innovation networks on post-disaster rehabilitation in a specific geographical region. The research methodology employed in this study is qualitative in nature. The present study employed a diverse range of research data obtained from interviews and disaster management report documents. These data were subsequently subjected to analysis applying the Nvivo12 plus software. The findings of the research suggest that the post-disaster rehabilitation network involves a range of components, specifically the public policy network which comprises the central government, regional governments, associated institutions, and civil society organisation. The local government of Palu City adopted policy changes that prioritised the implementation of a land acquisition and resettlement action plan in the context of post-disaster rehabilitation and construction efforts.

Abstract

Globalisation, information, and communication technology have changed human communication. The internet gave birth to social media and a new communication trend. Digital, such as computer-mediated, communication replaces traditional communication. Face-to-face communication can now be done via social media, which blurs space and time. The benefit is that social media is not controlled by mainstream media, which decides what to publish. Social media lets any communication actor broadcast messages to the public at any time. Some communication actors are government officials, or political actors. Anwar Ibrahim, the prime minister, wants to build political trust and support through vertical and horizontal political communication. Anwar Ibrahim regularly uses Twitter to engage with residents, show his actions, and express his attitude, commitment, and government vision. Politicians must adjust to social media's power. This study uses Nvivo 12 Pro for social media analysis. According to Nvivo, Anwar Ibrahim's political communication concentrated on his actions, government matters, political affairs, and maintaining his relationship with citizens and the king.

Abstract

In recent decades, there was a fierce debate about whether Gross Domestic Product (GDP) accurately describe people’s welfare. This manuscript aims to prove, an impressive GDP does not mean that people live on welfare. This topic is important to be discussed, simply, because it shows the actual condition of the people during their impressive GDP growth, besides, theoretically, it also sheds light on the correlation between GDP and real welfare. Taking China between 1980-2014, when China experienced the highest GDP growth as a case study, this investigation used secondary data provided by previous empirical research documents and international organizations’ data such as UNDP, WHO, World Bank and other relevant sources. The data was analyzed by comparative research method for comparing China’s GDP rate with China’s achievement on five aspects of alternative economic development gauges: inequality rates, life expectancy, health quality, education attainment, and environmental impacts. This investigation figured out that the impressive of China’s GDP has no direct correlation to Chinese real welfare. Along with the impression of China’s GDP, the Chinese must deal with inequality, the low government budget for human resources development, and environmental issues. This finding might support the previous analysts who were pessimists about the accuracy of GDP in measuring people’s welfare and develop a new path for future research.

Abstract

This research aims to find a model for implementing local government innovation in Pekanbaru City. One of the Innovation Public Service Mall innovations with the highest score is SMART PETAKU (Pekanbaru City Government Land Asset Management System) with a score of 820. However, there are still several innovations with the lowest score, one of which is the E-Archive with a score of 0. Using the theory of disruptive innovation ( Yu Hang, 2010), the basic design of this study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach from primary data sources obtained from in-depth interview techniques and secondary data, namely passive observation techniques. The research findings show that first, the success of the internal perspective is determined by the indicators of visionary and innovative local government head leadership, the right organizational structure with the establishment of a Public Service Mall, an organizational culture that is not separated from the pathology of democracy, and employee competencies that require development. Second, an external perspective determined by supervision from the Pekanbaru City DPRD, community participation, and appreciation factors that have a significant effect on the performance of the Pekanbaru City Government. Third, the marketing aspect is supported by the existence of a dynamic website from the content and information presented. Fourth is the technological perspective, where the Pekanbaru City Government through the Public Service Mall applies the E-Gov concept with application designs for requests and complaints. The conclusion of the study found the IEMT model with internal, external, market, and technology perspective dimensions. Recommendations for further research are collaborative governance studies in service innovation with the private sector at Public Service Malls which are still disproportionate.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the policy process for dealing with COVID-19 in Indonesia; in the last two years, the Indonesian government have taken various policy for dealing with COVID-19. Currently, this field still lacks in demonstration of cross-sectoral policy in Indonesia. This research uses qualitative explorative systematic analysis focusing on cross-sectoral policies taken by the government. This study found that government policies dealing with COVID-19 take a long time to implement owing to the cross-institutional policy process and being inactive. These policy decisions are impacted by the state's capacity to handle policy concurrently so that the government has long-term policy alternatives. Nonetheless, this policy decision will have a long-term influence on how Indonesia handles COVID-19. In the instance of Indonesia, this study reveals two policy options: substantive policy and procedural policy.

Abstract

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been substantial scholarly interest in the roles of women in leadership positions. This multiple-case study explores the experiences of female political leaders during the pandemic, focusing on their roles, challenges, and resilience. The study encompasses ten women political leaders actively involved in pandemic-related activities in Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. The findings indicate that these women embodied exceptional compassion and courage in their efforts to curb the virus's spread within their communities. The research underscores that the attributes traditionally associated with femininity, such as empathy and nurturing, were beneficial during the pandemic. Rather than posing a challenge, femininity complemented their leadership roles, with the main obstacles being the risk of contracting COVID-19 and public skepticism regarding the pandemic's seriousness. The study highlights that these female leaders adeptly managed the pandemic's challenges through effective cooperation and collaboration with stakeholders, underpinned by a commitment to altruism. This research contributes to the field by demonstrating that the qualities associated with female leadership can enhance crisis management. It informs the international debate on gender and leadership, suggesting that women's distinctive attributes may be particularly advantageous in navigating global health emergencies. By emphasizing these contributions, the study advocates for a broader recognition of the value of female leadership in crisis situations and encourages further examination of gender dynamics in leadership roles globally.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze ethnic conflict management in Aceh (Indonesia) and Moro (Philippines) conflicts. The Aceh conflict was considered resolved after the signing of the Helsinki agreement, which was mediated by the Crisis Management Initiative (CMI), an international NGO based in Finland, on 15 August 2005 between Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, GAM). Meanwhile, the Moro (Philippines) conflict is still ongoing despite the TRIPOLI agreement signed and mediated by the OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference) between the Philippine government and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) on 23 December 1976 and also with the MILF in 2001. This research method uses a qualitative approach. Primary data was obtained through interviews with figures who were considered competent in the Aceh conflict and the Moro conflict. The results of this study show that CMI in Aceh has succeeded in changing the situation of ethnic conflict into a situation that can reduce and reduce escalation and direct conflict actors towards conflict resolution. Peacemaking, peacekeeping and peace building have been played well by CMI involving the international community such as ASEAN and the European Union to manage the conflict. Meanwhile, in Moro the OIC failed to bring the conflict actors to solve their problems. The Philippine government lacks a robust vision, framework, and the necessary political will to effectively address the Moro conflict, which is of concern to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

Abstract

This study investigates the constitutional legitimacy of the measures enacted by Tthe Iraqi government to prevent the COVID-19 spreading, which restricted the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Iraqi Constitution 2005. even though the epidemic is a health emergency, the House of Representatives has not declared an emergency state, as the Cabinet resorted to taking preventive measurement to curb the crisis spreading, that restricted constitutional freedoms and rights even though the Iraqi constitution explicitly states that the rights and freedoms cannot be restricted except by law or based on it,  however, this restriction was governed by administrative orders issued by a committee establish by council of ministers under  Diwani Order 55 of 2020, headed by the minister of health,  which  amended then to become headed by the prime minister, for that purpose we have followed the analytical approach to assess the decisions taken by this committee through interpreting constitutional and legal texts and examining many of their restrictive resolutions imposed for demonstrating its legitimacy or illegitimacy and through this analysis we concluded that the majority of its decision on rights and freedoms under the pretext to preventspread  of Covid-19 unconstitution even though the epidemi was serious it cannot be justified  for violating democratic values.
