Abstract

Accountability is a principle that ensures that government administration is accountable for a series of designed programs. This study aims to examine the influence of success factors in village government accountability in managing village funds, namely, village apparatus competence, community participation, utilization of information technology, organizational commitment, and internal government control systems. The type of research used is quantitative, using component-based or variant-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques with Partial Least Square (PLS) as a tool for conducting validity tests. Sampling using the method purposive sampling, thus obtaining 87 respondents with the criteria of village governments directly involved in administering village funds in Binuang District, Polewali Mandar Regency. The results of this study indicate that not all variables can influence accountability in village fund management in Binuang District. For example, village apparatus competence, community participation, information technology utilization, and internal government control systems have a positive effect on accountability in village fund management. However, organizational commitment does not affect accountability in village fund management. Therefore, accountability in village fund management has not been fully able to realize the achievement of good governance in Binuang District, Polewali Mandar Regency

Abstract

This article examines how customary legitimacy contributes to the reproduction of local political elite power in Bone Regency and how it is negotiated within formal state mechanisms. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the study analyzes 200 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2025, retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, and Garuda databases. The selected literature was screened through explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed using thematic coding supported by NVivo 12 Pro, complemented by bibliometric mapping with VOSviewer. The findings reveal that customary legitimacy manifested through aristocratic titles, Bugis values such as ade’, siri’, and lempu, and kinship networks functions as symbolic and social capital in local political competition. Local elites actively reproduce these customary symbols through electoral campaigns, ritual participation, and genealogical narratives to strengthen political authority. The review also identifies recurring tensions between customary legitimacy and formal state administrative mechanisms, particularly in the recognition and verification of aristocratic titles; however, these tensions are largely managed through negotiation and institutional adaptation rather than open conflict. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the transformation of customary symbols and aristocratic status into political capital within modern democratic institutions, highlighting a hybrid configuration in which traditional authority is strategically integrated into formal state governance in Bone

Abstract

This study examined the roles of social media, notably X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, in exposing political corruption and supporting justice advocacy in Nigeria. In a context where traditional media are constrained by censorship and political control, digital activism on these platforms has become central to holding public officials to account. Guided by Social Accountability Theory and the Digital Activism Framework, the study adopted a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design and a structured questionnaire comprising four Likert-type scales (five-point, from strongly disagree to strongly agree) that captured perceived roles of X and Instagram in corruption exposure, justice-advocacy strategies, challenges, and policy options. Using stratified random sampling, 500 Nigerian users of X and Instagram, journalists, and justice advocates were selected across the four strata and their responses analysed with descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The findings show that between 80.0% and 82.8% of respondents agreed that X and Instagram are effective for exposing political corruption and that scandals publicised on these platforms influence public opinion and can trigger investigations and legal action (mean scores around 4.0 on a five-point scale, standard deviations of about 1.1). Similarly, around four-fifths of respondents supported integrating social media into official anti-corruption efforts and improving platform algorithms to prioritise credible anti-corruption content (mean = 3.94–4.00). Government restrictions, algorithmic suppression, and misinformation emerged as major barriers to effective digital accountability. The study concludes that X and Instagram now function as critical infrastructures of social accountability in Nigeria and recommends institutionalised collaboration between anti-corruption agencies, digital activists, and civil society organisations, as well as investments in digital literacy, evidence-based regulation of misinformation, and greater algorithmic transparency.

Abstract

This study maps and diagnoses global research trends in local politics using bibliometric methods to clarify how the field has evolved and where it is heading. Its novelty lies in combining VOSviewer network visualization with Bibliometrix performance and thematic analyses on a large Scopus-indexed corpus, enabling an integrated view of intellectual structure, collaboration patterns, and emerging topics. The urgency of this work stems from the growing policy relevance of local governance amid decentralization pressures, democratic backsliding, and demands for accountability and citizen participation, which require evidence-based synthesis beyond fragmented case studies. We conducted a qualitative literature study supported by bibliometric analysis of 1,366 documents published between 2014 and 2023. Records were exported from Scopus, converted to CSV format, and analyzed in Bibliometrix, with VOSviewer used to visualize co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence networks. Results show a sustained increase in Scopus-indexed publications over the decade, indicating expanding scholarly attention to local politics as a dynamic arena shaped by governance arrangements, participation, accountability, and actor–policy interactions. This study contributes a replicable workflow and a trend map that can guide researchers in positioning future studies and help practitioners identify evidence clusters and gaps. A key limitation is reliance on Scopus only, which may underrepresent non-indexed and regional scholarship.
