Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how legislative oversight is translated into performance accountability across selected strategic economic institutions in Indonesia, focusing on the oversight relationship between Commission VI of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) and the Ministry of Trade, state-owned enterprises and Danantara Indonesia, BP Batam, and state-owned banking institutions. Design/methodology/approach – The study employs qualitative document analysis and structured secondary-data triangulation. The empirical corpus comprises parliamentary records and communications, institutional performance reports, laws and regulations, official institutional releases, and reports from established news agencies. The analysis applies a public-governance framework comprising four oversight functions: information acquisition, performance interrogation, corrective direction, and follow-up accountability. Evidence is examined across financial, operational, governance, public-value, and adaptive-performance dimensions. Findings – Legislative oversight strengthens performance accountability when scrutiny systematically connects resources, targets, implementation problems, institutional outcomes, and public consequences. Effective oversight extends beyond procedural compliance to examine relationships among budget inputs, organizational outputs, service quality, economic outcomes, and public value. However, accountability is constrained by fragmented indicators, inconsistent performance definitions, information asymmetry, limited follow-up, and tensions between political responsiveness and managerial autonomy. These challenges are particularly evident in the emerging governance architecture of Danantara and in BP Batam’s simultaneous achievement of strong investment outcomes and exposure to scrutiny over budget efficiency, land governance, and transparency. Originality/value – The study develops the Oversight-to-Accountability Conversion Framework (OACF), which explains how legislative scrutiny generates public value when information demands are converted into verifiable commitments, corrective actions, and systematic follow-up. The framework integrates legislative oversight, performance management, hybrid governance, and public-value perspectives.

Abstract

Legislative oversight of law-enforcement and judicial institutions must combine democratic answerability with safeguards for legality, independence, due process, confidentiality, and operational integrity. This article examines how Bovens’s actor–forum public accountability framework can illuminate that challenge in the oversight environment of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives. It uses a conceptual review design and a theory-focused narrative literature review with a theory-to-practice orientation. Six documented Scopus search runs produced 1,135 raw records; after removing 132 duplicates, 1,003 unique records were screened. Full text was sought for 60 articles, nine were unavailable, and 51 Scopus-identified journal articles were verified and included. Bovens’s primary framework article was verified separately through citation chaining, producing an analytical corpus of 52 full-text journal articles. Qualitative-interpretive synthesis reconstructed the actor–forum relationship, compared legislative and justice-sector applications, examined accountability deficits, overloads, and boundary conditions, and traced domain formation. The synthesis shows that formal powers, hearings, disclosure, and sanction threats do not by themselves create meaningful accountability. Consequential oversight depends on mandate and role alignment, usable evidence, active and capable forums, traceable follow-up, and proportionate safeguards. These findings are translated into five domains: mandate and role alignment; information and evidence architecture; deliberative scrutiny and forum capability; consequential follow-up and inter-institutional handoffs; and safeguarded accountability. The contribution is conceptual and translational rather than theoretical, and the framework remains a diagnostic guide whose effectiveness requires contextual field validation.

Abstract

Indonesia’s industrial downstreaming agenda depends on the government’s capacity to coordinate policies across ministerial, sectoral, territorial, and public–private boundaries. This study examines how policy implementation and inter-institutional coordination can be understood in Indonesia’s industrial downstreaming governance from a public administration perspective. The study uses qualitative document analysis combined with a purposive, theory-led integrative literature synthesis. The documentary corpus comprises Indonesian industrial laws and planning instruments, selected policy documents, and peer-reviewed scholarship on policy coordination, policy integration, collaborative governance, policy capacity, and implementation. The synthesis identifies six interrelated analytical findings: strategic–instrument misalignment, mandate multiplicity, coordination treated as episodic rather than infrastructural, capacity asymmetry, fragmented accountability, and insufficient adaptive learning. These six findings are subsequently consolidated into five dimensions of the Integrated Strategic Industry Coordination (ISIC) Framework: strategic alignment, institutional role clarity, coordination infrastructure, implementation capacity, and adaptive accountability. Fragmented accountability and adaptive learning are combined because monitoring becomes consequential only when performance information generates institutional learning and policy adjustment. ISIC is presented as an integrative diagnostic framework rather than a new causal theory or an empirically validated model. Its contribution lies in translating several established public-administration perspectives into a sector-specific diagnostic architecture for identifying where cross-institutional implementation may break down. The study offers implications for executive coordination, policy implementation, and legislative oversight while explicitly limiting its empirical claims to industrial downstreaming governance and the documentary evidence analyzed.

Abstract

Indonesia established the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in 2025, creating an institutional transition in which transferred mandates and multilevel, cross-border service arrangements must be integrated while services continue. This article asks how the Wu–Ramesh–Howlett policy-capacity framework can inform that transition without presuming an existing capacity deficit. A Conceptual Review Article was conducted through a Theory-Focused Narrative Literature Review with a Theory-to-Practice orientation. Six final documented Scopus search runs, executed on 17 August 2026, yielded 298 records and 255 unique records after deduplication. Full text was sought for 58 sources; 11 unavailable records remained discovery-only, and 47 peer-reviewed journal articles were verified in full and synthesized. The review reconstructs policy capacity as analytical, operational, and political competences across individual, organizational, and systemic levels. Applications and criticisms show that capacity is configurational, demand-dependent, dynamic, and relational rather than a direct proxy for policy success. The synthesis translates the original nine-cell taxonomy into five domains: Evidence, Learning, and Service Intelligence; Mandate-to-Delivery Mobilization; Integrated Domestic and Cross-Border Orchestration; Legitimacy, Accountability, and Stakeholder Authorization; and Adaptive Readiness and Demand-Capacity Fit. The resulting framework offers conditional diagnostic questions and practice options for ministry management and parliamentary oversight. Its contribution is conceptual and translational, not a new or empirically validated theory, and it does not establish current ministry weaknesses or predict intervention effectiveness.

Abstract

Land-status uncertainty can obstruct local development planning when incomplete or contested records, unclear claimant recognition, and overlapping authority prevent proposals from moving through planning, authorization, budgeting, and implementation. This article examines that public-administration problem using the verified planning concern in Sembakung Atulai Subdistrict, Nunukan Regency, Indonesia, as a bounded phenomenon. It asks how the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework explains the relevant actors, rules, information conditions, and decision mechanisms; what applications and criticisms reveal about the framework’s conditions and boundaries; and how the synthesis can inform context-sensitive administrative options. A theory-focused narrative literature review used five documented search runs in Scopus restricted to English-language articles and reviews in journals at final publication stage. From 568 exported records, 130 duplicates were removed and 438 unique records were screened; 40 verified full-text journal articles formed the corpus. The synthesis shows that land-status uncertainty is best understood as a configuration of linked action situations in which information becomes consequential only when rules-in-use and competent authority connect evidence to reviewable decisions. It also shows that baseline IAD requires explicit attention to institutional plurality, power, linked arenas, administrative capacity, and feedback. The article translates these findings into five connected domains: land-status information and verification; claimant recognition and dispute routing; cross-level coordination and decision integration; rule operationalization and administrative capacity; and power-aware accountability and adaptive review. The contribution is conceptual-translational; the framework is a procedural diagnostic and neither determines legal land status nor establishes causal effectiveness.
