Abstract

Agroindustry micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) occupy a strategic position in rural economic transformation because they connect agricultural production with processing, market access, employment creation, and local value addition. However, in many Indonesian regions, agroindustry MSMEs continue to face persistent constraints related to fragmented institutional support, limited digital readiness, weak quality assurance, insufficient access to finance, and uneven integration into competitive value chains. This article examines how local policy capacity can be strengthened to support sustainable agroindustry MSME development in Tanah Laut Regency, South Kalimantan. Using a qualitative document-based policy analysis, the study synthesises secondary sources, policy literature, and regional development perspectives to construct a governance framework for agroindustry value-chain upgrading. The findings suggest that sustainable agroindustry development cannot be achieved through production assistance alone. It requires an integrated governance approach that combines institutional coordination, capability-building, digital market integration, green production practices, quality standardisation, and inclusive financing. The article proposes a six-dimensional policy framework consisting of regulatory alignment, institutional orchestration, entrepreneurial capability, digital infrastructure, sustainability upgrading, and participatory monitoring. The framework is intended to assist local governments, higher education institutions, business associations, and community actors in designing more coherent interventions for agroindustry MSMEs. The article contributes to public administration studies by showing that agroindustry development is not merely an economic or technical matter, but also a governance challenge involving policy coherence, administrative capacity, and collaborative public value creation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of regional autonomy and decentralization in Indonesia and its impact on regional economic development. Regional autonomy, introduced in 2001, is intended to grant greater authority to local governments in governing and managing their territories. Decentralization is expected to enhance governance efficiency and the welfare of local communities. However, the implementation of these policies faces various challenges, including disparities in access to economic resources and low civil society participation in policy-making. A case study on the provincial expansion in Papua reveals the complexities in implementing regional autonomy, such as financial readiness, infrastructure, and resistance from some local communities. In conclusion, while regional autonomy and decentralization can bring significant benefits to local development, further efforts are needed to address existing challenges to ensure that these policies can be effectively implemented and positively impact communities.

Abstract

This article examines the comparative public administration of Brunei Darussalam and Saudi Arabia, two Islamic monarchies that share important institutional similarities while demonstrating distinctive administrative trajectories. Although both countries are characterised by centralised monarchical authority, Islamic legitimacy, and resource-supported state capacity, their administrative systems differ in scale, historical formation, legal-institutional configuration, and reform orientation. Using a qualitative descriptive method based on documentary analysis and comparative literature review, this study analyses four major dimensions: the form of state, the form of government, the governmental system, and the political system. The article is conceptually informed by comparative public administration and Fred W. Riggs’ administrative ecology, which emphasises the interaction between administrative institutions and their socio-cultural, political, economic, and historical environments. The findings show that Brunei Darussalam institutionalises governance through the philosophy of Malay Islamic Monarchy, which integrates Malay identity, Islamic values, and sultanate authority. Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, derives its administrative legitimacy from the Basic Law of Governance, Sharia, dynastic rule, and consultative mechanisms involving the Council of Ministers, the Shura Council, and religious authority. The study concludes that both countries represent centralised Islamic-monarchical administrative systems, yet Brunei tends to display a smaller-scale paternalistic administrative model, while Saudi Arabia demonstrates a larger, reform-oriented, strategically modernising monarchical administration under Vision 2030.

Abstract

This article develops a public governance framework for regenerative olive oil tourism in Jaén, Spain, and positions oleotourism as a territorial policy instrument rather than a narrow market product. Spain remains one of the world’s most visited tourism economies, yet national and European tourism policy increasingly emphasises diversification, deconcentration, environmental responsibility, digital transition, and social acceptance. In this context, Jaén has a distinctive strategic asset: an extensive olive-growing landscape, a strong agrifood identity, and a growing portfolio of museums, mills, routes, viewpoints, cycling facilities, culinary experiences, and heritage narratives connected to extra virgin olive oil. The central research question is: how can public governance convert olive oil tourism into a regenerative strategy for sustainable territorial development in Jaén? Using a qualitative document-based policy analysis, the article reviews international sustainable tourism principles, European transition policy, Spanish tourism strategy, UNESCO-related heritage discourse, regional tourism materials, recent public information on Oleotour Jaén, and academic literature on olive oil tourism, destination governance, and regenerative tourism. The analysis identifies four governance challenges: fragmented stakeholder coordination, uneven territorial distribution of benefits, insufficient integration of climate and biodiversity concerns, and limited institutionalisation of monitoring indicators. The article proposes an Oleo-Governance Framework built around five pillars: territorial public value, collaborative destination governance, circular and low-carbon visitor experiences, community capability building, and evidence-based adaptive management. The findings contribute to public administration and tourism planning by showing how a rural destination can use food heritage and landscape identity to advance economic diversification, cultural continuity, and ecological responsibility.

Abstract

Quantum technologies are increasingly moving from specialist laboratories into the strategic agenda of governments, industries, and international organisations. Quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing are expected to reshape cybersecurity, scientific discovery, industrial productivity, public infrastructure, and national competitiveness. Yet the same technologies also raise complex governance challenges, including cryptographic vulnerability, dual-use risks, technological inequality, workforce shortages, procurement uncertainty, and the concentration of innovation capacity in a small number of advanced economies. This article develops an adaptive public administration framework for responsible quantum technology governance. Using qualitative document-based policy analysis, the study examines international policy documents, responsible innovation literature, quantum technology roadmaps, post-quantum cryptography guidance, and emerging governance principles. The article argues that quantum technologies should not be governed only as technical artefacts or national security assets, but also as public policy objects whose societal consequences require anticipatory, inclusive, and institutionally coordinated governance. The proposed Quantum Public Administration Governance Framework consists of five interrelated dimensions: foresight and anticipatory intelligence, cybersecurity and cryptographic readiness, institutional coordination, responsible innovation and public value, and equity-oriented capacity building. The findings suggest that public administrations need to build quantum literacy, establish cross-sector coordination mechanisms, prepare digital infrastructure for post-quantum risks, support ethical and socially beneficial innovation, and prevent the emergence of a global and domestic quantum divide. The article contributes to public administration scholarship by translating the technical uncertainty of quantum technologies into a governance agenda that is relevant for policy makers, public managers, and emerging economies seeking to participate responsibly in the second quantum revolution.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how leadership in the digital era builds trust and encourages public participation, with a focus on communication strategies and the use of digital technology. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive design, to describe the leadership phenomenon in depth based on the perceptions and experiences of participants. The study was conducted in Bandung City as a location that is digitally and socially active. The population in this study were government officials and digitally active citizens, with a sample of 15 people consisting of public officials, social media practitioners, and community leaders, selected purposively. The results of the study indicate that effective digital leadership is characterized by information transparency, interactive engagement with the community, and the ability to manage reputation online. Public trust is formed from consistent communication and rapid response to issues. Participation increases when leaders open up a two-way dialogue space. Research recommendations encourage strengthening digital literacy for leaders, implementing participatory communication platforms, and developing digital ethics policies that protect the public's right to information and privacy.

Abstract

This study aims to examine a cooperative-based community empowerment model as a strategy for addressing poverty in Surabaya. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research explores how cooperatives can function as both economic and social institutions that empower impoverished communities through capacity building, access to capital, and the development of partnership networks. The findings reveal that the cooperative empowerment model is effective in improving members’ welfare, despite several challenges, including limited managerial capacity and uneven member participation. The study recommends strengthening the institutional capacity of cooperatives, enhancing community participation, and providing policy support and digital technology to ensure the sustainability of this empowerment model. This model is expected to serve as a sustainable solution for poverty reduction in Surabaya.

Abstract

This article examines the implementation of stunting reduction policy convergence in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) through a qualitative descriptive design grounded in Grindle’s policy implementation model and enriched by a collaborative governance perspective. The manuscript aligns with the dissertation evidence base by using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and analysis of national and subnational policy documents gathered across provincial, district/city, subdistrict, and village levels during the 2018-2023 policy period. The data were analyzed through thematic coding assisted by NVivo in order to trace the interaction between policy content, policy context, and the collaborative mechanisms that shape implementation outcomes. The findings show that DIY’s relatively low stunting prevalence does not eliminate substantive implementation gaps. The most persistent constraints are fragmented intersectoral coordination, limited data integration and interoperability, uneven institutional capacity across localities, and variation in the quality of collaboration among state and non-state actors. At the same time, DIY’s special governance arrangement, local leadership, village-level convergence forums, and pentahelix engagement create room for contextual adaptation. The article argues that convergence should be understood not merely as program alignment, but as an adaptive implementation process within multi-level governance. Empirically, the study explains why a comparatively successful province still faces structural coordination problems; theoretically, it refines Grindle’s model by emphasizing the importance of multilevel collaboration, policy learning, and local contextualization.

Abstract

This study examines the formulation process of Jakarta Provincial Regulation No. 4 of 2022 on the Fulfilment of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, focusing on the role of Disabled People’s Organizations (DPOs) in shaping policy outcomes. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations involving key actors across policy levels. The study applies the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and Collaborative Governance to analyze actor interactions, belief systems, and institutional dynamics. The findings reveal that policy formulation was significantly influenced by self-initiated collaboration among DPOs, challenging dominant assumptions that collaborative governance is state-driven. The study also identifies asymmetrical power relations and institutional constraints that shape participation and influence. This research contributes to theoretical development by contextualizing ACF and collaborative governance in the Global South and offers a model for inclusive policy formulation involving marginalized groups.

Abstract

Indonesia is a large archipelagic country. As the largest archipelagic state in the world, Indonesia is characterised by considerable diversity in terms of geographical location, population, culture, and politics. This diversity has shaped Indonesia into a democratic state, which upholds the principle of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. From this principle, it can be inferred that governmental actions in Indonesia originate from the people and are intended for the people. Equal rights to participate in governing the country are formally recognised within Indonesia’s political system. However, in practice, political life in Indonesia still reflects gender-based discrimination. Law Number 2 of 2008 on Political Parties and Law Number 10 of 2008 mandate the importance of political education that takes justice and gender equality into account. The purpose of this study is to analyse and examine women’s representation in political parties as an effort to promote gender equality. The study employs a qualitative research method, using a literature review as the data collection technique, while the data are analysed through data presentation and conclusion drawing. The research was conducted at the Regional People’s Representative Council of East Java Province. The findings indicate that women’s participation in politics today tends to be more positive. Nevertheless, the increasing number of female legislative members from one period to another has not yet been able to free women from the gender inequality they continue to experience.
