Abstract

This paper presents a rigorous comparative study of the Islamic Caliphate and the Vatican City State, which operates under the governance of the Roman Catholic Church. Both institutions are anchored in authoritative theological doctrine, yet their historical evolution, mechanisms of legitimation, and global reception have unfolded in sharply contrasting manners. The Caliphate, conceived as the apex of Islamic authority uniting political and spiritual oversight, underwent a sequence of crises, culminating in the formal abolition in 1924, resulting in an enduring contest over its contemporary significance. The Vatican, by contrast, has displayed remarkable durability, its papal leadership securing a distinctive role in secular diplomacy and international governance, sustained by a coherent apparatus that transcends the territorial confines. The core finding is that the Vatican’s enduring stability stems from its successful transformation of theological mandate into widely recognized diplomatic legitimacy and transnational soft power. This contrasts with the Caliphate’s decline, which was accelerated by its structural entanglement with territorial governance and military power, leading to perceptions of it as an anachronism. This study contributes a novel cross-civilizational analytical template, treating both entities as theocratic formations. It compares their historical processes, modes of theological authority, and patterns of political reception within their respective polities. The principal innovation resides in this comparative frame, which illuminates how religion is mobilized as institutional power and addresses the contrasting degrees of global endorsement each system receives.Employing a qualitative, descriptive-analytical framework grounded in a multiple case study methodology, this inquiry seeks to advance religious political theory by unraveling the nuanced interplay between religious institutions and the apparatus of the state.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the smart governance performance in the Papua and West Papua Governments in their current condition, especially on the website and platform X. The method of this study is qualitative with a case study approach. The data collected through the documentation technique based on the website and X account of the Papua and West Papua Governments, official government data, online mass media and previous studies literature. This study found that the smart governance in the Papua and West Papua Governments is not optimal and requires improvement in public service, transparency, and public participation indicators. Several challenges of smart governance implementation in both local governments are the infrastructure limitations, low digital literacy capability, and internet signal inclusivity. This study has several suggestions to improve the smart governance performance in the Papua and West Papua Governments. (1) The Papua and West Papua Governments must prioritize digital training for the bureaucracy to enhance digital literacy in the government. (2) The Papua and West Papua Governments are also required to improve their education curriculum to include digital skills for students. Further research is proposed to map the citizens sentimental perception about smart governance in both local governments by social media analysis

Abstract

Bureaucratic reform has become a strategic foundation for improving public service quality and strengthening governance in Indonesia. The city of Surabaya stands out as a leading case, achieving the highest Bureaucratic Reform Index in 2024 through consistent integration of digital innovation, human resource development, and participatory governance. This study analyzes Surabaya’s best reform practices including the Public Service Mall, the WargaKu complaint system, Surabaya Single Window, and Satu Data Surabaya and how they contribute to the realization of Good Urban Governance. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research draws upon secondary data from official reports, academic studies, and government evaluations. The findings show that these reforms have significantly improved efficiency, transparency, accountability, participation, and responsiveness, transforming Surabaya into a more citizen-oriented administration. Nevertheless, the reform process also faced challenges such as bureaucratic resistance, digital inequality, and inter-agency coordination gaps, which were mitigated through leadership commitment and multi-actor collaboration. The study contributes both practically by identifying replicable reform strategies for other cities and theoretically by illustrating how localized bureaucratic reform operationalizes the principles of good urban governance in developing contexts. Future research is recommended to assess the long-term sustainability and adaptability of such reforms across cities with varying administrative capacities. Surabaya’s experience demonstrates that sustainable governance is built not only through structural reform, but through continuous digital innovation, institutional learning, and citizen participation.

Abstract

Tax avoidance remains a persistent challenge in emerging economies, particularly within State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) that are expected to serve both commercial and public functions. This study investigates the influence of independent commissioners and institutional ownership on tax avoidance among SOEs listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2015–2023 period. The research adopts a quantitative approach with an inferential design, utilizing secondary data derived from the annual reports of 23 SOEs that met the sample criteria, resulting in 207 firm-year observations. Tax avoidance is measured using the Effective Tax Rate (ETR). The analytical method employed is Generalized Least Squares (GLS) regression, with the Random Effect Model (REM) selected based on Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. Data processing was conducted using STATA version 17, and the model's validity was tested through classical assumption tests, including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation. The results reveal that the proportion of independent commissioners has no significant effect on tax avoidance, while institutional ownership is negatively associated with ETR, indicating a positive effect on tax avoidance. These findings suggest that institutional ownership in SOEs may not effectively function as a governance mechanism due to political interference and agency conflicts. This study contributes to the corporate governance literature by offering empirical insights into the symbolic nature of governance structures in government-owned firms, particularly in the context of developing countries.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges of implementing the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) in Sabu Raijua Regency, one of Indonesia’s frontier, outermost, and least developed (3T) regions located in East Nusa Tenggara Province. The selection of Sabu Raijua as the focus of analysis is grounded in its representative status as a 3T area, which faces structural and contextual constraints in advancing digital governance. Employing a qualitative approach, the research involved in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis with 33 informants, including heads of local agencies, staff, and citizens as service recipients. The findings reveal four significant challenges in implementing SPBE for realizing digital bureaucracy in Sabu Raijua: (1) policy-related barriers, (2) institutional limitations, (3) inadequate infrastructure, and (4) weaknesses in application systems. SPBE enhances bureaucratic innovation and digital governance, thereby improving efficiency, accountability, and public participation. However, the implementation of SPBE in this region encounters unique challenges that demand innovative and adaptive approaches to ensure effectiveness and inclusiveness. Accordingly, the study highlights the need for locally tailored policies, adaptive and collaborative digital architecture, bottom-up approaches, and strengthening local bureaucratic capacity.

Abstract

Voting behavior is an important part of the democratic process which can investigate the factors that influence constituents in choosing leaders. The purpose of this paper is to find out how the voting behavior of indigenous minority communities in determining leaders. The indigenous minority community is the object of research, which means that the community is part of the indigenous ethnic element but because of its origin from another area, it is considered a migrant. The main argument of this paper is that Kampa people choose regional heads influenced by sociological factors based on the social environment. This research is a qualitative study using the Social Circle Theory by George Simmel. In this study, data was collected using primary data through direct interviews, and secondary data was collected through scientific journals and online mass media. The results of the study found that the voting behavior of the Kampa community was influenced by first, namely political preferences which vote based on considerations from traditional leaders, second geopolitics where geographically the area inhabited is the majority of Minangkabau tribes, and third based on socio-economic structures that influence rational reasons for choosing regional heads.
