This study is intended to examine the impacts of productive expenditures on economic growth on the 25 provinces found in Indonesia before fiscal decen- tralization (covering 1994–1997) and 33 provinces after decentralization over the period 2011-2015. The empiric approach has been implemented through a panel data approach and regression model estimated to follow the endogenous growth model of Barro (1990). The main findings of this research show that: (1) provincial governments’ productive expenditures in education promoted eco- nomic growth in the 25 pre-decentralization provinces; and (2) productive ex- penditures in the security and public order sector, health and education sector have promoted economic growth in the 33 post-decentralization provinces. From these results, it can be concluded that this study has contributed to economic literature by indicating that different types of productive government expendi- tures offer different impacts on economic growth. The policy implications which can be formulated from the results of this study are that provincial governments should promote and provide incentives for private investments in the public sec- tor because only the education sector (before fiscal decentralization) and the security and public order sector as well as the education sector (after fiscal decentralization) have a statistically significant role in promoting economic growth. This can be realized through public–private partnership, which has greatly in- creased the performance of public-sector investment around the world. Future research, using relevant control variables to estimate the effects of productive expenditures on economic growth, will provide a greater empiric contribution to the literature. fiscal decentralization; JEL Classification: H11, O40, H5

As the largest predominantly Muslim country of the globe, Indonesia nearly achieves two decades of its democratisation wave since the downfall of the Au- thoritarian Rule in 1998. Political parties, one of the crucial democratic institutions, have a signifi- cant responsibility to maintain the democratic system as they are the sole official representatives to create leaders and policies in the government. This paper portrays the trajectory of political Islam in Indonesia particularly Islam-based parties slightly under two decades since Post- New Order regime. Islam-based parties have a potential to be a moderate-offi- cial force in the government. It could be proven by the threefold indicator. First is the ripeness of Islam-based parties in coping with both internal and external stimuli such as the leadership change and elite conflicts, the constitutional re- form and the electoral result. Second is the role of Muslim political forces in the parliament particularly in addressing the policy making of controversial bills. Third is the involvement of Islam-based parties in the administration cabinet. To sum up, by applying the analytical framework on the party goal, political Islam in Indonesia has three distinctive features: As “the vote-seekers” in the election, as “the issue-advocates” in the legislature and as “the office-seekers” in the execu- tive. These denote to a normalised path of political Islam in reaching out the embedded democracy.

Innovation in technology brings tremendous impact in various areas, including the issues of democracy, politics and government. In this study, authors observe twitter as a digital medium to gather people from diverse background to com- municate each other. Conversation in twitter, known as tweet, could be a gate to represent various political issues. This study aims to analyze valence and arousal of Indonesia’s top political topics in twitter started from November 2015 until May 2016. Top political topics are collected with one primary keyword, jokowi. Each topic is represented with various tweets from different users. The data is collected by specialized computer software namely tracker developed by Provetic Lab. As an attempt to analyze tweets, authors used Algoritma Kata (AK) as the primary instrument to analyze valence and arousal contained in each topic. Re- sult shows when users talked about jokowi and kebanggaan (pride), the conver- sation contained positive valence and high excitement in arousal level. Whereas, when users discussed corruption and other scandal involving Government, the conversation turned into negative valence with different arousal level.

The study aims to describe the political party’s local elite in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Previous researchers found out that there were variation, relation and interaction among political elites at the local level. In Malang, a district of East Java Province, there are some local power of politics in practice namely Blater elite and Lora elite. Blater is a group of local strongmen who has strong collabo- ration with the elite oligarchy at the level local. Both of them have done unfair practice of nepotism in the field of politics to achieve power of Partai Amanat Nasional (PAN) at the local level. On the other hand, Lora elite is a group of local strongmen, working together in synergy with the democratic elite to have access to power of the political party. In short, both of the political elites have been competitive to get the power of PAN. The following are the findings of the research: 1) The existence of political party strongmen shows that the capacity of indi- vidual of the elites has the authority to determine various power context of the political party; 2) In the context of power, the existence of political party strongmen can limit and reduce the implementation of the political party regulation in the internal dynamics of the local inner circle of political party; and 3) Close relations depends upon a symbiotic relationship and the expression of mutual interest between the strongmen blater and the oligarchy so that patron-client relation could take place.

Public policy implementation network is a study that tried to accumulate all the stakeholders as potential resources to determine and implement a public policy. Fishermen community empowerment policy is the policy, which is complex be- cause it includes varied stakeholders. The main objective of this study is to develop a model of resources exchange in the implementation network of fisher- men community empowerment policy in Makassar City, which includes the avail- ability of resources and the rule of the game of resources exchange. This study uses qualitative design and case study strategy. Based on the pairing patterns technique, the availability of the resources needed by the fishermen group has not been sufficient to run his business. This is caused by a major source of fund- ing in this policy from the central government. Then, the fishermen community empowerment policy is still dominated by rule of the game of public bureau- cracy as the policy implementer in the resources exchange. Therefore, local gov- ernments need to develop the synergy with all stakeholders and establish a rule of the game based on the network-based organization.

This paper looks at the political family involved in the local politics in South Sulawesi, particularly the political recruitment mechanism and political party institutionalization from the intra-party democracy perspective. Based on qualitative analysis, the findings of this research show that, firstly, a large number of political families in Golkar Party at South Sulawesi are a product of the oligarchymeritocratic political recruitment. Political legacies such as activities in social and political organizations give more advantages for the political families both in the political recruitment process and the access to power. Secondly, the weakness of Golkar Party’s institutionalization is showed by the dependence of Golkar Party to the party’s elite and the existence of factionalization within the party. As a result of such weakness, several party leaders resign from Golkar Party, thereby strengthening the role of political families in the political recruitment process. 50% of the 2014 electoral vote for the Golkar Party in the South Sulawesi Parliament has been largely contributed by the political families. political family; ; political recruitment; political party institutionalization; intra-party democracy

Patronage politics has become a defining charac-teristic of the Philippine political landscape. Clientelism, a form of patronage, is often studied as disadvantageous in governance and democratic consolidation. While the patron-client framework remains the most influential among schools of thought that explain Philippine politics, transforma-tions in a clientelist exchange are evident given changes in political, cultural and economic settings. Using this frame of new clientelism, we look at and revisit the structure of patronage in the provision of housing welfare in the Philippines, focusing now on the roles of three important actors— the nongov-ernmental organization, the state through the local government and the recipients or beneficiaries— in an urban setting, thus deviating from the traditional conception of patronage and clientelist politics. This relationship of clientelist exchange is presented in our Accomplice-Principal-Accessory (APA) model ofclientelism, with the local government unit of Parañaque City as accomplice, the Gawad Kalinga (GK) as the principal agent, and the recipients or beneficiaries as accessories in the provision of hous-ing welfare.

The study establishes the individual of kiai as a determinant autonomous actor of shifting roles and political support ‘ assume ‘ that the problem of shifting roles and political support of kiai are problems related to the quality of the individual ( individual quality) kiai alone. While studies that put the structure as an autonomous actor explaining that problem of shift in the role and political support of kiai turns laced with systems or structures that surround the life of kiai. Kiai is no longer a mere accused or suspect. Compared with the two previous perspectives, the study which makes a link of kiai and structure as a determinant actor of crisis of political agency of kiai or shifting political roles of kiai from cultural broker to political broker either to political player in the reform era is look more able to explain the problem in a comprehensive manner. The explanation which is given is also open awareness that the problem of shifting political roles or crisis of political agency of kiai in the reform era was not only related to the quality of the kiai alone, but also by the growing structure and surrounding kiai life.
