Abstract

This study analyzes Malaysia's immigration policy toward illegal Indonesian migrants during the 2020–2023 period. While Malaysia implemented programs such as the Recalibration Programme to manage undocumented migration, these efforts are considered ineffective due to inconsistent implementation, weak inter-agency coordination, and the absence of comprehensive protection mechanisms for migrant workers. These policy shortcomings have contributed to serious negative consequences, including widespread human rights violations and labor exploitation. The formulation of Malaysia’s immigration policies is shaped by multiple factors, including economic pressures, domestic political considerations, and bilateral relations with Indonesia. The study identifies a shift in Malaysia’s policy orientation—from repressive measures such as mass raids and deportations toward more selective legalization and cooperation-based approaches. However, structural challenges remain, particularly regarding the protection of migrants’ rights and the regulation of recruitment practices. The findings highlight the need for a more integrated and humane bilateral framework to ensure safe, legal, and dignified migration. Strengthening collaboration between both countries and relevant international organizations is essential for achieving long-term regional migration governance.

Abstract

This study investigates the institutional and infrastructural challenges affecting the implementation of e government in Indonesia within the context of administrative decentralization. Over the past decade, Indonesia has significantly improved its E Government Development Index (EGDI), rising from 0.45 in 2016 to 0.72 in 2022. Despite national level progress, regional disparities persist, driven by institutional fragmentation, limited human capital, and uneven ICT infrastructure. The objective of this study is to examine these constraints and offer a conceptual framework for addressing them. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study draws on secondary data from UN EGDI reports, national regulations, and case studies such as North Barito and urban–rural comparisons. The research utilizes thematic and comparative analyses to identify patterns in policy disconnection, leadership gaps, and citizen participation. Findings reveal that institutional coherence, participatory governance models, and adaptive leadership significantly influence successful e government implementation. Integrated policy models, such as Whole of Government and Interoperable Digital Government Frameworks, improve alignment between national strategies and local applications. Additionally, participatory design and feedback loops are essential for increasing service quality and trust. The study concludes that Indonesia’s path forward requires not only technological investment but also structural and cultural reforms. This includes capacity building for public servants, equitable infrastructure development, and inclusive digital engagement mechanisms. The insights gained have broader implications for other decentralized states aiming to advance digital transformation through coordinated, participatory, and context sensitive governance models.

Abstract

This study explores Indonesia’s e government development between 2016 and 2024, analyzing its implications for administrative efficiency and public trust. It assesses trends in the E Government Development Index (EGDI), emphasizing the sub-indices of Online Service Index (OSI), Telecommunication Infrastructure Index (TII), and Human Capital Index (HCI). The research also examines regional disparities, digital participation, and the influence of service quality on citizen trust. The methodology combines quantitative analyses of EGDI scores with governance metrics and citizen trust indicators, supplemented by regional comparative analysis and case studies. Correlational and regression models were used to evaluate the impact of digital service quality on trust, while qualitative data from literature and case studies offered contextual insights into implementation gaps. Findings show that improvements in OSI, TII, and HCI have contributed to better public service delivery and enhanced public trust. However, regional disparities persist, particularly between urban and rural areas, affecting digital participation and service equity. Trust in government is significantly shaped by service reliability, transparency, and inclusiveness. While EGDI offers a useful performance proxy, it does not fully capture service satisfaction or governance responsiveness. The study concludes that to ensure inclusive and effective digital governance, Indonesia must integrate citizen centric service design, institutionalize transparency through open data, and bridge infrastructure gaps through policy harmonization. These steps are essential to promote democratic accountability, administrative efficiency, and sustainable public trust in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates the pervasive role of informal political institutions in Southeast Asian governance, focusing on the entrenchment of clientelism, political dynasties, and bureaucratic patronage. Drawing on comparative political economy approaches, the research demonstrates that despite formal democratic frameworks, informal systems significantly shape governance outcomes. The objective is to identify how institutional weaknesses, elite continuity, and fiscal populism reinforce informality, and to assess the prospects for reform through anti dynasty legislation and civil service improvements. Methodologically, the study integrates qualitative analysis of political networks and informal practices with quantitative insights from fiscal and electoral data across Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other Southeast Asian states. Findings reveal that weak bureaucratic systems allow informal networks to dominate service delivery and political access. Political dynasties benefit from institutional voids and economic inequality, consolidating power through electoral dominance and intergenerational succession. Fiscal populism exacerbates these trends by diverting resources toward short term patronage schemes. In contrast, countries like Vietnam, which have pursued fiscal reforms with strong oversight, illustrate pathways for weakening informalism through inclusive, formalized state interventions. The study concludes that while informal institutions remain deeply embedded, targeted reforms such as professionalizing civil service and legislating against dynastic politics can strengthen accountability and institutional performance. Long term success hinges on the alignment of reform efforts with cultural, political, and fiscal realities across Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Digital governance has become an increasingly critical dimension of contemporary governance, integrating digital technologies into decision-making, service delivery, and stakeholder engagement. This narrative review aims to identify opportunities and challenges associated with digital governance across public and corporate sectors. A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, employing keywords such as digital governance, public administration digitalization, corporate governance digital era, and platform economy. Inclusion criteria prioritized peer-reviewed studies published in the last two decades that address the intersection of governance and digital transformation, encompassing both theoretical and empirical contributions. Findings reveal that digital technologies significantly enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency through mechanisms such as open data, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence. Social media and digital platforms expand citizen participation and reshape administrative legitimacy, while corporate governance increasingly relies on artificial intelligence and data economics to strengthen accountability and sustainability. Smart cities illustrate the potential of digital governance in urban sustainability, though challenges remain regarding regulatory uncertainty and technological interoperability, particularly in the use of blockchain and NFTs. Despite these opportunities, disparities in infrastructure, digital literacy, and regulatory frameworks limit adoption in developing nations, reinforcing inequalities. The review concludes that robust policies, inclusive ecosystems, and cross-sector collaborations are essential to harness the benefits of digital governance. Future research should explore context-specific models and long-term implications to ensure that digital transformation advances inclusive, transparent, and resilient governance systems.

Abstract

E-government is a major transformation in public administration. It integrates information and communication technology to improve efficiency, transparency, and citizen engagement. This narrative review examines the implementation of e-government and its impact on public service transformation across diverse contexts. Literature was systematically collected from databases including Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed, using keywords such as e-government, digital governance, citizen engagement, public service transformation, and transparency. Inclusion criteria emphasized peer-reviewed studies from 2010–2024 focusing on digital governance and public administration. Studies were screened, evaluated, and synthesized thematically. Findings reveal that emerging technologies, notably artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and blockchain, significantly improve service delivery efficiency and data security. Case studies from Estonia and Russia highlight successful adoption models, while experiences in Indonesia and other developing countries reveal persistent challenges related to infrastructure, literacy, and governance capacity. Public trust and citizen participation were found to be critical determinants of adoption, shaped by digital literacy, data security perceptions, and cultural attitudes. The discussion emphasizes systemic barriers—political resistance, legal rigidity, and cultural mistrust—that impede adoption, alongside strategies such as strong digital leadership, adaptive legal frameworks, and investment in digital literacy. This review concludes that while e-government has substantial potential to transform public service delivery, its success depends on aligning technological innovation with systemic reform and citizen engagement. Future research should incorporate interdisciplinary approaches, citizen perspectives, and longitudinal analyses to better understand and sustain digital transformation.

Abstract

Decentralization and regional autonomy have become central themes in governance reforms worldwide, raising critical questions about their effectiveness in improving accountability, service delivery, and socio-economic outcomes. This narrative review synthesizes existing scholarship to evaluate the effectiveness of decentralization across fiscal, political, administrative, and developmental dimensions. Literature was collected from databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, using targeted keywords and applying inclusion criteria focused on relevance, methodological rigor, and empirical evidence. The review highlights three main findings. First, fiscal decentralization demonstrates potential to enhance accountability and service delivery, but its success is constrained by elite capture and dependence on central transfers. Second, political and administrative autonomy fosters policy innovation and conflict resolution when embedded in strong institutional and legal frameworks, but in weaker contexts it may aggravate corruption and inefficiency. Third, socio-economic outcomes show significant variation: while OECD and some Asian regions report improvements in education, health, and infrastructure, many African and fragile states experience uneven benefits. These findings underscore that decentralization is not a uniform process; instead, its outcomes are shaped by systemic factors such as institutional design, political culture, and legal guarantees. Effective policy interventions should strengthen local capacity, promote transparency, and establish balanced fiscal frameworks. Future research should expand to underrepresented regions and adopt longitudinal approaches to capture long-term impacts, ensuring decentralization reforms achieve sustainable governance and inclusive development.

Abstract

Good governance has become an essential pillar of sustainable development, defined through principles such as transparency, accountability, participation, institutional effectiveness, and the rule of law. This narrative review aims to provide a comparative analysis of governance practices across global and local contexts, highlighting both consistencies and divergences in implementation. A systematic literature search was conducted using databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, with keywords such as “good governance,” “comparative analysis,” “public administration,” and “sustainable development.” Inclusion criteria emphasized studies offering comparative perspectives and empirical or conceptual analyses. Findings indicate that while transparency and accountability foster trust and reduce corruption, public participation remains uneven, influenced by socio-cultural norms and structural inequalities. Institutional effectiveness shows significant variation, with high-performing governance systems in developed countries contrasted by inefficiencies and corruption in weaker systems. The rule of law is critical for integrity and independence, though its entrenchment remains fragile in transitional democracies. Innovations such as e-governance, corporate social responsibility, and environmental, social, and governance frameworks demonstrate potential in enhancing governance outcomes, though their success depends on supportive infrastructure and regulatory consistency. These results underscore that governance is not a static construct but a dynamic process shaped by political, economic, and cultural systems. The review highlights the urgency of strengthening governance frameworks to meet sustainable development goals. Policymakers must adopt adaptive strategies integrating participatory practices, institutional reforms, and technological innovations. Future research should address comparative gaps in developing contexts and further explore cross-sectoral approaches to governance reform.

Abstract

This narrative review examines leadership, public ethics, and accountability frameworks in government institutions, aiming to synthesize current evidence and highlight research gaps. Literature was sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, JSTOR, and Google Scholar using keywords such as ethical leadership, public sector ethics, and accountability frameworks. Studies from the past decade were prioritized, covering both qualitative and quantitative evidence. Findings indicate that ethical leadership fosters integrity, strengthens accountability, and enhances public trust by modeling values that shape ethical organizational cultures (Demir et al., 2023; Wright et al., 2016). Accountability mechanisms—compliance-based, integrity-driven, and hybrid—are most effective when supported by political will, robust regulation, and participatory governance (Reddick et al., 2024; Sebastián et al., 2023). Organizational culture plays a central role in shaping ethical behavior, while gender diversity in leadership promotes inclusivity and public confidence (Mousa et al., 2021; Bastani et al., 2020). Despite these insights, research is constrained by reliance on case studies, self-reported measures, and limited comparative analysis. Political and cultural contexts significantly influence the effectiveness of ethics and accountability policies, yet cross-country and longitudinal studies remain scarce. The review concludes that integrating ethical leadership, accountability frameworks, organizational culture, and gender diversity is vital for resilient governance. Strengthening these areas can restore public trust, reinforce institutional legitimacy, and provide a foundation for sustainable and ethical governance in diverse contexts.

Abstract

This narrative review examines strategies, policies, and lessons learned in crisis management within public administration, focusing on institutional resilience, governance structures, communication, cyber resilience, and technology integration. The purpose of this review is to synthesize current evidence and identify the main factors influencing effective crisis responses. A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature was conducted using databases including Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, employing keywords such as crisis management, public administration, emergency response, disaster management, resilience, and risk communication. Inclusion criteria emphasized studies addressing governance, policy, and institutional practices in crisis contexts, while irrelevant or non-peer-reviewed sources were excluded. Findings reveal that institutional resilience, supported by managerial capacity, emergency planning, and adaptive responses, is essential for sustaining services during crises. Governance structures that balance centralization and decentralization, coupled with strong coordination, are more effective than rigidly centralized or fragmented systems. Transparent communication fosters citizen trust, as demonstrated in Taiwan and Singapore, while communication failures, such as in Brazil, undermine compliance. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of cyber resilience, with cyberattacks disrupting public services globally during COVID-19. The integration of advanced technologies, supported by administrative capacity, further enhances crisis responsiveness. However, disparities between developed and developing countries underscore the role of systemic inequalities in shaping outcomes. The review concludes that future policies should strengthen institutional capacity, promote participatory governance, and invest in digital resilience, while further research is needed on long-term and cross-context evaluations.
