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.

This study attempts to explore the involvement in graft and corruption among elective barangay youth officials in a city inSouthern Philippines. Using a qualitative research design employing a case study method, 10 informants were included in thisstudy and were selected using snowball sampling technique. The findings indicated that the informants were aware of the formsof graft and corrupt practices stipulated in the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act in the Philippines (RA 3019) and other legaldocuments. However, despite this, most of them admitted to have been involved in any of the follow-ing irregular acts while inpublic service: malversation of public funds, evasion of public bidding in the purchase of supplies and equipments, forgery,bribery, making ghost projects and payrolls, abuse of powers, among others. It was known also that corruption was causedmainly by bureaucratic dys-functions especially in the delay of budget releases and political socialization with older and corruptbarangay officials who passed on the techniques of corruption to the young leader informants. The policy implications of thestudy demands further strength-ening of governmental structures and processes that would ensure observance of goodgovernance among public officials both at the barangay ( local) and national levels.

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.

The damage to Brantas River Basin (Watershed) has been increasingly critical due to forest encroachment and land use ignoring the rules of soil and water conser- vation. This study aims to examine the problems in the management of upper Brantas Watershed in Batu City, Indonesia. The method used in this research was descriptive-qualitative and the data were collected using participative observa- tion in the field, in-depth interviews with the community of Brantas Watershed- Caring Farmer Group (Komunitas Petani Penyelamat Daerah Aliran Sungai Brantas- KPPDAS), discussion with experts, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). This paper succeeded in extracting information about the fundamental problems causing damage to Brantas Watershed in Batu City. Those fundamental problems con- sisted of pragmatic behavior and ways of thinking of land use in the upper wa- tershed of Brantas, government policies that were not aligned to the upstream conservation of Brantas Watershed, the low public awareness to actively partici- pate in the upstream conservation of Brantas Watershed. Therefore, the man- agement of upper Brantas Watershed needs to strengthen the cooperation (part- nership) among stakeholders to savejointly the upstream of Brantas River Basin or Watershed.

There are substantial amount of academic research regarding to how media do the framing on certain issue. However, empirical research on the framing interactions is still difficult to find. This study endeavors to fill the void by questioning the mutual influences between media framing and framing by politicians on a specific issue during the political campaign ahead of 2017 Jakarta Governor Election. Both quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods were employed in this research. First of all, textual data from the media and politicians were coded using Atlas.ti coding software in order to know the usage of five framing types: conflict, morality, economic consequences, responsibility and human interest. After that, the mutual influence was investigated by looking at their most dominant frames, their comparative trends in terms of framing quantity, and their textual interactions. This research then reveals a weak mutual influence between media framing and framing by politicians. It is indicated from their differences in using dominant frames. Conflict consistently dominated media framing, while economic consequences were generally dominant within politician’s framing. Besides, media and politicians produced different quantity of framing and presented different trends. Media and politicians also presented an insignificant textual interactions by sharing small number of similar keywords and mutual quotations.

This study aims to examine empirically the relationship between good public governance and national competitiveness. The motivation behind the study was the desire to answer a cosmic question regarding the association between the implementation of good public governance and the capability of a country to compete in the global market. An exploratory research design was applied in this study. Public governance and national competitiveness were treated as two in- dependent variables. Public governance was broken down into attributes, namely public accountability, government effectiveness, the quality of government regulation, government control toward corruption, the rule of law and a country’s political stability. The World Governance Index (WGI) was used to measure public governance. Meanwhile, the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) was adopted to measure national competitiveness. Bivariate correlation analysis was applied in this study and involved 140 countries that are officially listed as World Bank members. The findings concluded that public governance had a positive association with national competitiveness. All attributes of public governance showed a positive and significant correlation with national competitiveness. Statistical analysis using Pearson correlation indicated that all public governance attributes indicated a solid correlation (r 0.6, p 0.01) except for political stability (r = 0.585, p 0.01) and public accountability (r= 0.541, p 0.01). Although the results revealed that not all public governance attributes had a strong correlation with national competitiveness, the nature of the correlation has already been justified. The results imply that if the government implements good public governance practice, it might have a positive impact on the capability of the nation to create power to compete with other countries in the global market .
