Abstract

The National Health Insurance (JKN) program represents Indonesia’s core strategy toward achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), yet its implementation continues to face persistent structural, financial, and political challenges. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of JKN implementation using Peter S. Cleaves’ framework, which emphasizes four interrelated dimensions scarcity, apathy, political power, and policy problematique to explain how limited resources, weak public participation, and political dynamics shape policy outcomes. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review method, this research synthesizes findings from policy documents, academic studies, and institutional reports relevant to JKN implementation. The results reveal that scarcity is reflected in uneven healthcare infrastructure and financial deficits, apathy arises from low public engagement and bureaucratic rigidity, and political power influences decision-making processes that prioritize short-term populism over long-term sustainability. The study also identifies policy problematiques in the form of complex administrative systems and coordination inefficiencies between healthcare levels. These interrelated factors create implementation gaps that limit the achievement of equitable and effective health services. By situating these findings within Cleaves’ theoretical model, the study contributes to refining the understanding of policy implementation in developing contexts, emphasizing that technological innovation and participatory communication can mitigate structural and political constraints. The research concludes that enhancing institutional capacity, fostering citizen participation, and promoting digital inclusivity are key strategies for improving equity, responsiveness, and sustainability in Indonesia’s national health insurance system.

Abstract

This study examines the bureaucratic dynamics underlying the implementation of severance pay regulations under Indonesia’s Job Creation Law (Law No. 11 of 2020). The reform, designed to streamline labor policies and enhance flexibility, has raised significant debates concerning workers’ protection and the government’s administrative readiness. The research aims to analyze how bureaucratic communication, institutional capacity, and inter-agency coordination affect the effectiveness of the Job Loss Guarantee (Jaminan Kehilangan Pekerjaan or JKP) scheme. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and observation of coordination meetings involving officials from the Ministry of Manpower, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, regional labor offices, and labor unions. Thematic analysis based on Pressman and Wildavsky’s (1973) policy implementation model was applied to assess communication flows, resource adequacy, and structural mechanisms. The findings reveal that fragmented communication, uneven institutional capacity, and weak coordination have hindered consistent policy implementation across regions. Insufficient digital infrastructure and inadequate policy socialization further reduced administrative efficiency and worker awareness. The study concludes that effective reform requires integrated digital communication systems, continuous capacity building, and participatory coordination frameworks. Strengthening bureaucratic communication and institutional readiness is essential for translating the regulatory intent of the Job Creation Law into tangible improvements in worker protection and welfare.

Abstract

The prohibition of retail sales of subsidized 3-kilogram Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Indonesia represents the government’s effort to improve subsidy distribution efficiency and prevent misuse by non-eligible consumers. However, this study argues that the formulation and implementation of the policy reflect the phenomenon of bounded rationality in public decision-making. The purpose of this research is to analyze how cognitive, informational, and temporal limitations affected the design and execution of the policy, resulting in deviations from its intended objectives. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature review method, this study examines secondary data from academic journals, official reports, and credible media sources to understand the dynamics of policy implementation. The findings reveal that the policy, while aiming to ensure accuracy in subsidy targeting, inadvertently restricted access for low-income households and small traders, leading to economic strain and the emergence of black markets. Weak data verification, limited public communication, and poor monitoring further exacerbated implementation challenges. Viewed through the lens of bounded rationality, policymakers acted under fiscal and political pressure, opting for “satisficing” solutions instead of optimal decisions. The study concludes that future energy subsidy reforms must integrate digital data systems, enhance beneficiary verification, and strengthen participatory oversight to minimize irrational policy outcomes and ensure equitable energy access for vulnerable communities.

Abstract

Indonesia’s Job Creation Law (Law No. 11 of 2020) represents a major reform in national environmental governance aimed at streamlining bureaucracy and accelerating investment; however, it has simultaneously raised concerns about ecological accountability and public participation. This study examines how the top-down implementation of the law has reshaped Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedures and the broader structure of environmental governance. The research aims to analyze the implications of bureaucratic simplification, centralization of authority, and restricted public engagement for sustainable policymaking. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study collected data from legal documents, policy briefs, and interviews with governmental and civil society actors to explore institutional dynamics across central and regional levels. Findings indicate that while risk-based licensing and the Online Single Submission (OSS) system have improved efficiency and coherence in licensing processes, they have concurrently weakened preventive oversight, diminished local autonomy, and curtailed participatory mechanisms. The centralization of decision-making has standardized procedures but reduced flexibility and contextual responsiveness, leading to governance gaps between policy design and local execution. Moreover, the narrowing of public involvement in EIA processes has eroded transparency and legitimacy, undermining the principles of democratic environmental governance. The study concludes that the effectiveness of top-down implementation remains contingent upon institutional capacity, intergovernmental coordination, and inclusivity. It recommends adopting a hybrid governance model that combines hierarchical efficiency with participatory accountability to ensure that economic reform aligns with ecological sustainability and social legitimacy in Indonesia’s environmental policy landscape

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of sexual violence in Indonesia has posed a major governance challenge, prompting the enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (TPKS Law). Despite this progressive legal framework, its implementation at the local level, particularly in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), remains fraught with structural, institutional, and socio‐cultural obstacles. This study aims to analyze how the TPKS Law is implemented within the context of multi‐actor collaboration by employing Policy Network Theory as an analytical lens. The research seeks to identify key actors, map their relationships, and evaluate how coordination mechanisms influence policy outcomes. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study draws upon secondary data sources, including government reports, academic publications, and NGO documentation, which were analyzed through content and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of the TPKS Law depends largely on the strength of horizontal coordination among actors such as the Yogyakarta Regional Police, DP3AP2 DIY, NGOs like and local communities. While legal institutions provide authority and structure, NGOs contribute trust and community engagement, creating a complementary but asymmetrical network. The study concludes that successful implementation of the TPKS Law in Yogyakarta requires adaptive governance practices characterized by continuous learning, inter‐agency collaboration, and community participation.
