Good governance principles are very important in the public sector because they aim to ensure that government institutions work effectively, efficiently, and responsively to the needs and aspirations of the community. Implementing good governance in the public sector not only helps increase efficiency and accountability, but also strengthens democracy and encourages public participation in the decision-making process. This research tries to discuss the extent to which the good governance principles are reflected and implemented in the recruitment and selection of candidates for civil servants. Taking the context of the recruitment and selection process in one of the districts in Indonesia, this research uses a qualitative methodology by collecting data in the form of semistructured interviews with 25 participants from the recruitment and selection committee and the candidates of civil servants. This research found that overall, the good governance principles are relatively reflected and implemented properly in the in the recruitment and selection of candidates for civil servants although there are some indications of a mismatch between the qualifications of prospective employees and the real needs of the government institution the candidates will work for. This research also found indications of a low level of transparency in the implementation of recruitment and selection, giving rise to opportunities for favoritism and nepotism.

The existing literature has predominantly focused on exploring how governance affects objective poverty measures; however, this study goes beyond by considering subjective poverty at the grassroots level, specifically in rural areas. Empirical analysis employing probit methodologies uncovers a positive and statistically significant correlation between governance quality and poverty. Notably, participation, accountability, public administration procedures, and e-government initiatives positively influence poverty levels. These findings highlight the importance of governance in improving the income and well-being of rural households. Furthermore, the study reveals that good governance practices have a positive impact on reducing the likelihood of poverty in rural areas, particularly among impoverished segments of rural communities. These results support the notion of a causal relationship between good governance and objective poverty, and shed light on the effects on subjective poverty. The study suggests several potential mechanisms through which this influence occurs, including the enhancement of e-government, participation, public administration procedures, and accountability. Districts with stronger village governance exhibit higher levels of participation and more effective decision-making processes that contribute to overall prosperity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Indonesian Constitution prioritises citizen welfare, intellectual growth, and a just society. Effective development and public services are key to this government. Government purchase of products and services is crucial to national and regional development. However, data transparency difficulties typically lead to procurement fairness conflicts, making government procurement openness difficult. This is addressed by Presidential Regulation Number 16 of 2018 and its revision. In addition, the Indonesian Information Commission has set public information disclosure requirements, including procurement exclusions. This research explains Indonesian government procurement transparency policies and their relationship to excellent local governance. This qualitative study examines government procurement information openness using normative legal literature and primary data from interviews and observations. Transparency in procurement processes promotes good governance, and community input in information disclosure exemption determinations is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indonesia is a country that adheres to a democratic system, the administration of its territory and its status as a nation-state as well as a state of law. As a constitutional state, Indonesia has many legal products ratified by legislators, one of which is the Deputy Minister. Deputy Ministers are regulated in law (UU) Number 39 of 2008 concerning State Ministries. The objective of Deputy Minister Position is to accelerate the performance of ministries that have excess workloads, by placing career officials who are competent in their fields. Although legally the position of Deputy Minister is valid, in the bureaucratic structure of the Indonesian government, this position is considered ineffective and inefficient. The existence of Deputy Ministers tends to be inefficient in the state budget, prolonging the bureaucratic chain, and often becoming a political bargaining power. This article is a normative research of literature study. Article writing is done through the method of collecting data from library sources as well as reporting in the mass media to written works. The results of the research show that Deputy Ministers in Indonesia are not rigidly regulated in laws and regulations. Based on investigations, the Deputy Minister's diction is only found in Law Number 39 of 2008 concerning State Ministries, Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 60 of 2012 concerning Deputy Ministers, along with the amendment regulations. In the study of Islamic law and constitutional practice in the classical period, a caliph's assistant or right-hand man was called a wazīr. The wazīr was authorized to appoint and dismiss regional chiefs, judges, and other government employees. However, in Indonesia, the issue related to the position of Deputy Minister becomes hot and sometimes invites post-election controversies or cabinet reshuffling. The best way to deal with this problem is to emphasize the redaction in Article 10 of Law Number 39 of 2008 concerning Deputy Ministers, which is regarding "workload that requires special handling".

This article investigates the role of community radio in fostering good governance at the local level in the setting of Indonesia. Using the example of PASS FM Radio, this article demonstrates how community radio has fulfilled the purpose and function of media as a public sphere. As a community radio station, PASS FM has not only succeeded in breaking down communication barriers between citizens and the local administration, but it has also presented solutions for optimising local potential. PASS FM Radio has also succeeded in partnering with the government to jointly serve the public interest and support the ideals of good governance, with the main features of transparency and public participation.

Bureaucratic reform is one of the government's efforts to realize good governance. This research discusses human resource reform carried out by the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia (ANRI) to realize Good Governance using qualitative research methods and case study approaches. The data collection technique uses primary data taken from observations and interviews with 5 informants as well as secondary data taken from the results of documentation and literature review. The results of this study can be concluded that in realizing good governance, ANRI has carried out reforms that involve overhaul, change, improvement, and structuring activities well, especially in terms of HR reform. The supporting factors of HR reform at ANRI are the support of the commitment of organizational leaders, organizational culture factors, HR management development factors, infrastructure, and budget to realize good governance at ANRI. However, until now ANRI does not have an assessment center for employees and there is no grand design rule on employee talent management. In addition, there is no legal umbrella or policy that applies to the implementation of rewards and punishment at ANRI. There is a strategy for overcoming obstacles to human resource reform carried out by ANRI by compiling a grand design in HR development to map competencies and organizational needs by the strategic plan to get an overview of future HR needs.

This study highlights the significance of professionalism in human resources within public administration to achieve good governance and improve employee and organizational performance. The research methodology used was library research, involving text and discourse analysis to gather data from relevant literature on the topic. The study's findings indicate that the implementation of good governance in government bureaucracy is crucial for enhancing both employee and organizational performance. To achieve this, professionalism in human resources within public administration is essential, and the North Kalimantan government has adopted an alternative technocratic concept to support it. This concept emphasizes professional orientations and expertise. To develop the capacity of public servants, the North Kalimantan government has initiated a capacity-building program in collaboration with various universities in Indonesia. The program targets three domains and levels: individual, organizational, and strategic policy systems. Leadership plays a critical role in the success of the capacity-building program.

Since 2014, Indonesia has enacted the Village Law, granting villages the authority to oversee the entire process of village development, aimed at fostering prosperous village communities. Despite this, research on achieving effective governance within village governments in Indonesia, through the combined lenses of Industrial Organizational Psychology (PIO) and Community Psychology, remains limited. To address this gap, our study investigates how the synergistic perspectives of PIO and Community Psychology contribute to our understanding of program strategies and governance within the Panggungharjo Village Government, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the welfare of its constituents. Employing a case study methodology, we analyze the data using Situational Analysis (SA). Data sources encompass in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs) involving key Panggungharjo village stakeholders, archival studies, and on-site observations. These diverse data are systematically coded and subjected to the principles of Situational Analysis (SA). This analytical approach not only seeks to uncover fundamental social processes but also illuminates the intricate relationships and interactions among the key elements operating within the field. The culmination of our findings takes the form of a "Relational Map" and a "Social World Arena," depicting the dynamic relationships and interactions observed in this study. Our research reveals that the success of the Panggungharjo Village Government in achieving good governance hinges on five strategic pillars and two governance reforms, blending principles of organizational development and community participation. This study offers valuable insights by demonstrating how the application of Industrial and Organizational Psychology in conjunction with community participation can pave the way for effective governance within village governments, ultimately benefiting the entire community.

Comparing the disclosure of public information regarding the dissemination and publication to the public of newly enacted rules, setting Indonesia and the Netherlands as parameters is interesting as the legal cultures of both countries are intertwined and legal perspectives are constantly evolving. Despite differences in the rule of law, both countries have similar regulatory frameworks. This research uses a normative juridical writing method with a literature study to analyze the relationship between good governance and public information disclosure, including definitions, indicators, objectives, and important factors that influence the concept. The aim is to serve as a comparison parameter for a more efficient information disclosure mechanism. In Indonesia, the role of DPRDs is closely related to the issue of public information disclosure, as DPRDs have a dominant role in authority. Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, the local government takes the lead in setting regulations. Nonetheless, both countries emphasize the importance of checks and balances through the establishment of RvD and KIP, to oversee and integrate the aspirations of the community. The results of this study suggest that public information disclosure is important in both Indonesia and the Netherlands, as demonstrated by regulations that prioritize transparency, accountability, public participation, responsiveness, and the rule of law in governance. This commitment to openness aims to bridge the gap between public expectations and government actions. And in conclusion, the harmony between the process of forming regulations involving the DPRD as a representative of the people's voice and information disclosure is interrelated in public services towards the achievement of good governance.

This article discusses how the permit simplification for upstream oil and gas operation in Indonesia is conducted. In doing so, the authors utilize two perspectives, namely development administration and good governance. This research is inspired by a condition where there are many regulations apply and required to obtain permits for upstream oil and gas operation in Indonesia. The current problem nowadays are related to the type of the permits, the regulations and procedures to follow, as well as permit issuers to deal with are too many submissions. This have caused handicaps for the industry to grow competitively. Meanwhile, Indonesia still has a high dependency on Oil and Gas Industry for State Income reason and Energy Resilience. Even though the reformation has been started since 1998 however the change of old bureaucratic system and mentality of the bureaucrats into the new paradigm of good governance is still very less and tend to be progressing very slowly. Therefore, this qualitative research is interested in viewing the implementation of the ongoing simplification. This research is qualitative in nature and utilizes secondary data related to the permitting system of the upstream oil and gas activities. This research concludes that the current system is not in line with the principles of development administration and good governance. Second, the findings conclude that the simplification is urgently needed for maintaining State Finance, Energy Resilience, and Multiplier Effect to the Economic Growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

All citizens have the right to information about all state policies. Transparency is a mandatory thing that must be provided to the public, especially document information that regulates people's lives in general so that good governance can be realized. This study aims to analyze aspects of transparency in archive management at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of South Sulawesi Province. This study uses qualitative methods with data sources from interviews with informants. Data analysis used an interactive analysis model. This study found that the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia has provided the SRI KANDI (Integrated Dynamic Archival Information System) application to realize transparent governance. However, the office of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, South Sulawesi Province, is still unprepared to provide access to archives for those in need due to the lack of human resources who master the application. Therefore, competent human resources are needed in the field of archives as special operators who handle archives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to determine the form of public services provided by the government in an effort to facilitate investment and service to the community. The phenomenon of Bureaucratic Reform that occurred in Indonesia seems to provide a new color in the realm of public services, especially licensing issues with the existence of one-stop services. The research was conducted to find out how this one-stop government service is, whether it is really in accordance with the form of public service that the community wants. Using the normative jurisdictional research method based on the study of legislation and public administration. The researcher wants to reveal from the point of view of government regulations. The results of the study explain how the one-stop service procedure and that one-stop service itself still needs evaluation and strategic programs to be more accepted in the community. The human resources of the apparatus are also not fully capable of supporting one-stop services. The form of this service must really be adapted to the circumstances and conditions of the Indonesian people. Do not let those who enjoy these services are some of the stakeholders who have an interest, not the wider community. The solution is that the one-stop service must return to the provisions of the legislation, the grand design of the 2010-2025 bureaucratic reform and the implementation of the use of technology such as blockchain and other digital technologies to prevent corruption and transparency in public services.

In 2015, the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) Report ranked Indonesia 107th out of 180 countries surveyed, and Transparency.org ranked Indonesia 89th out of 180 countries surveyed. Many studies have been conducted on corruption in Indonesia, but few articles have linked corruption to good governance for development in the country. Corruption can be addressed by strengthening good governance as a starting point for eradicating corruption, followed by anticorruption policy reform. The goal of this research was to look at corruption cases in Indonesia through the lens of good governance. This study was a policy-oriented study using a literature search of journal articles on corruption, with data from a variety of sources including the Indonesia Corruption Watch, Corruption Eradication Corruption (KPK), World Bank, and Transparency International. Focus group discussions were also conducted. The Spradley model was used in the data analysis through domain analysis, componential analysis, and theme analysis. The outcomes demonstrated that corruption is a unique crime that is difficult to eradicate. As a result, since good governance is not widely practiced in Indonesia, it must be emphasized. Strengthening good governance is recommended as a key to eradicating corruption in Indonesia, such as by strengthening law enforcement with the law structure as an example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To achieve globalization and modernization, public organizations must implement good governance in order to respond to and meet community expectations. One of these expectations is land transportation management, which in Indonesia is handled by the Land Transportation Management Center (BPTD). Good governance should be implemented in BPTD in the hopes of improving performance and, as a result, community satisfaction, and resolving problems with ground transportation. BPTD still has a number of issues to deal with, including the state of the transportation infrastructure for road, urban, river and lake transportation and crossings, transportation safety, and administrative issues. This study examined how four principles of good governance have been implemented at BPTD: accountability, transparency, openness, and the rule of law. The study focused on BPTD Region IX in West Java Province, BPTD Region IX in Central Java Province, and DIY provinces. This study employed qualitative descriptive methods. According to the findings, BPTD has implemented the principles of good governance, but it still has room for improvement by sharpening its performance indicator targets, making LAKIP more widely known, measuring community satisfaction, and pursuing independent innovation.

Good governance is an approach to creating good organizational management founded under the principles of transparency, equity, and accountability to achieve organizational goals. The rising public demand for good governance has encouraged the central and local governments to apply transparency and accountability in their administration. Public distrust of the government in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic through the vaccine program can be affected by the level of education, age, political affiliation, religion, and perceived experience. The community assumes that every action decided by the government always involves political and economic interests; the government takes advantage of the momentum amidst the calamities suffered by the community. The purpose of this study is to examine the trust factor, political party, and level of education in correlation with the influence of the variable level of public trust in the Covid-19 vaccine program as an embodiment of good governance. This study is descriptive quantitative research. The primary data used derives from questionnaires distributed via Google Form with a total of 391 respondents. The results from the analysis and discussion indicated that all utilized variables in this study for both the independent variable of public trust and moderation variables (religion, political affiliation, and education level) affect the transparency of good governance in the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine program. It is also known that the moderation variables consisting of religion, political affiliation, and the latest education level are considered partial moderation because the magnitude of the direct influence is greater than the indirect one, meaning that the independent variable can directly influence the dependent variables without going through or involving moderation variable.

Implementation of Village Government Governance based on Good Governance Principles in Indonesia. A village government is a government carried out by village officials who head a village. In realizing good and responsible governance, it is inseparable from the community's participation to support the implementation of the desired government. In the community, there is enormous potential and resources, if used properly, will make a real contribution to the progress of the community and the village. Various experiences show that governance and development without involving public participation will face serious problems. Therefore, government factors must realize that the community should be involved in every stage of the process of government and development programs. The community is a stakeholder that should not be ignored because they have a strategic role and potential for government and village development continuity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The United States is the most significant contributor to this study, followed by the United Kingdom and Indonesia. The International Review of Administrative Sciences has published the most papers on good governance. Our findings indicate that studies on good governance are mostly carried out in the field of social sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This quantitative study investigates the nexus between internal control, information system implementation, good governance, village performance accountability, and sustainable rural development in a specific geographic area. The research reveals a positive and substantial correlation between internal control and village performance accountability, with effective mechanisms enhancing accountability. Likewise, applying information systems positively correlates with village performance accountability, improving transparency and efficiency. Both internal control and information system application significantly impact sustainable rural development, contributing to improved resource management and decision-making at the village level. The study underscores the importance of reinforcing internal control practices, promoting information technology adoption, and fostering village performance accountability for advancing sustainable rural development. However, limitations, such as a small sample size and geographic focus, may affect generalizability. Future research should address these limitations by expanding the sample size and employing diverse data collection methods to enhance understanding of these relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Collaboration in governance has become a challenge for the Indonesian province of central Java. Lack of collaborative governance affects the planning of policies for good governance. This study will evaluate and analyze participatory planning from the standpoint of collaborative governance and assess the elements that influence it in Banyumas Regency from this perspective. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the descriptive method is used for the study. This study drew informants from various facets of local government, academia, business, and the community. Data analysis involves Data Reduction, Presentation, Verification, and conclusion. The research reveals that access to stakeholder participation is still limited for 2018-2023. In addition, the dynamics of collaboration on the dimension of moral involvement have not yet characterized the sustainable role of stakeholders. The government still dominates in identifying, defining, discussing, and establishing the RPJMD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The consistency between the planning and budgeting processes is a form of implementing good governance in the village. This study aims to analyze the inconsistency of village planning and budgeting in Regency. Good governance is very urgent to be realized in the administration of government and public services at the provincial and district / city levels considering that a lot of authority has been transferred to the government at these two levels. The regional position is very strategic in maintaining the integrity of the nation as well as being the vanguard to create a one and more prosperous Indonesia in a more concrete manner. The district / city and provincial governments are key figures in the realization of good governance, namely as a catalyst and coordinator for semi-government and non-government institutions to jointly form an effective collaboration to solve problems and meet community needs. The closest step that the provincial and district / city governments need to take in order to realize good governance is to make improvements to their own institutions and to treat the diseases they suffer from. It remains to be debated whether the public administration scheme offered by Law No. 2/2004 allows the creation of good governance at the provincial level and particularly district / city districts better than the scheme under Law No.22 / 1999.

This study investigates the effect of integrated firm's reporting on firm's performance. The integrated financial reporting contains of financial, good corporate governance (GCG) and sustainability reporting that shows company's responsibility to capital providers, environment and social. The important question is whether more disclosure indicates more informative for decision maker. Therefore, it is important to identify which reporting useful for primary users. This study examines 108 public comphanies that granted ISRA (Indonesia Sustainability Reporting Award) from 2013-2017 for firm's performance, GCG index, and sustainability index. The result shows that information for capital providers can be used for investment and credit decision. This finding indicates company faces agency conflict, so company's disclosure dedicates for primary users, namely creditor and shareholder. This finding also indicate that earnings more informative than good corporate governance and sustainability reporting. It may show the concentrated ownership in Indonesia encourages management to behave less aggressive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Developing taxpayer compliance behavior is still viewed as a key problem in the tax administration service system, and one that needs to be resolved immediately. This research article focuses on an analysis of the determinants of public trust and its effect on taxpayer compliance behavior. Some studies have been conducted to measure the influence of trust toward taxpayer compliance. However, there is scant research to scientifically identify the determinants of public trust in taxpayers. The target population involves all of the taxpayers in three areas: Makassar Selatan, Maros, and Palopo Municipality Government, consisting of a population of 12,000 taxpayers, both individual and corporate. The research sample size was determined using statistical methods, and the sample size was set at 20% of the population of the above areas (528 respondents). In this article, we propose the research framework of public trust and taxpayer compliance behavior that will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Ciliwung watershed is a national critical watershed which needs integrated management and restoration efforts. There are miscellaneous actors (government, private sector, and civil society), which create significant institutional complexity. To overcome this problem, a proper governance system to encourage an integrated approach to watershed ecosystems management and restoration (WEMR) is necessary. This research seeks to develop a proper multi-layered collaborative governance model for the Ciliwung WEMR using policy hierarchy theory and the life cycle of collaboration. This is a qualitative research and utilizes Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, literature study, and focus group discussions. Research results illustrates how a multi-layered collaborative governance runs in the policy level, organizational level, and operational level. The result helps to reconstruct policy hierarchy theory, in which the authors developed interlinkages to connect all policy hierarchies. The model also needs quick wins and small wins as adjustments to a "good enough" governance approach. The research concludes that political work intervention in the Ciliwung WEMR is substantially important, in addition to the processes of technical-managerial works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Good governance is a crucial issue in the performance of zakat institutions, as zakat institutions are non-profit public organizations that are trusted by the community. In Indonesia, the huge potential of securing zakat funds by zakat institutions is currently not optimized due to the lack of public trust. By utilizing a Confirmatory Factor Analysis model, this research aimed to examine dimensions of the principles of good governance namely, transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence and fairness practiced among zakat institutions. Data was obtained from interviews with leaders and staff of zakat institutions in Indonesia. Findings of the study suggest that the dimension of transparency contributed most to good governance followed by accountability, responsibility, and independence. It can be concluded that good governance in zakat institutions has been well implemented only in some aspects but not in totality. This research could be used to create guidelines on zakat management governance while serving as a reference for formulating policies related to the standardization of good governance in zakat institutions.

This study aims to explore the mediated effects of good governance and public service quality on the relationship between implementation of bureaucratic reforms and performance of the archival institutions in Indonesia. A total of 350 staff who are working at the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia (ANRI) in Jakarta and at the 34 Provincial Office of Libraries and Archives (ROLAs) in the country were selected as the respondents of the study using a multi-stage sampling technique. A 350 questionnaires were distributed and entirely returned by the respondents were then analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The study found evidence that bureaucratic reforms have a positive and significant impact on the implementation of good governance principles and the quality of public services. Bureaucratic reform has no direct influence on the organizational performance, but its influence was found to be positive and significant through the implementation of the principles of good governance and improving the quality of public services. These findings indicated that in order to improve good governance and the quality of public services, the implementation of bureaucratic reform needs to be enhanced in the archival institutions in Indonesia.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate forest fires and their relationship to prevention and mitigation strategies based on the empirical problems raised by this study. Public policy implementation (in this case, the policy of forest fire management) is influenced by the role played by government and by the participation of the public and stakeholders (in this case, companies), as well as the effects of good governance. Thus, from the empirical problems associated with theoretical problems and normative problems, this study raises the influence of the role of central and local government on the implementation of forest fire prevention policy in Indonesia, which is moderated by the good governance variable.Design/methodology/approach This study used a quantitative approach by adopting survey methodology. The study has aimed to assess both large and small population groups, by selecting and reviewing carefully chosen samples of the population to find the incidence, distribution and relative interrelation of the variables considered (Kerlinger and Lee, 2000). The survey was undertaken in areas of Indonesia that have a high level of vulnerability to forest fires. There are currently six provinces – Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan – that have the highest intensity of forest fires. The study population was taken from 105 villages in those six major provinces experiencing forest fires. Sample size precision was determined by using Slovin's formula with a precision of 10 percent and, thus, a sample size of 52 was obtained.Findings The central government's activities have no significant effect on regional forest fire prevention. However, the results found that there is a significant effect caused by the interaction between the central and local governments and their governance of forest fire prevention. Even though the direct effect is not significant, the interaction effect significantly influences the forest fire prevention governance variable, which is a pure moderator. This study found that the role of central government has no effect on forest fire prevention. If the role of the central government is high, it will not impact the effectiveness of forest fire prevention, which is reflected in the aspects of prevention and early warning, reward and punishment, the improvement and management of ecosystems by reviewing courts, law enforcement and national and regional synergy.Originality/value This is one of the few public administration science studies to have investigated the relationship between good governance and forest fire policy in Indonesia, particularly the combined roles played by central and local governments.

This study analyzes the role of good governance and its impact on the performance of regional governments in the three Indonesian provinces that showed the greatest progress in Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): DKI Jakarta, Aceh, and West Nusa Tenggara. This study was a narrative review, a critical appraisal of the chosen articles was done according to the method for preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). Based on government performance reviews according to the Indonesian Governance Index (IGI), DKI Jakarta is far above the national average score of 6.37. Overall the three provinces have implemented good governance based on good leadership, commitment, and integrity to public service. Poor internal control, partly caused by the lack of an accountable and transparent mindset, was identified as an obstacle in the implementation of good governance in the three provinces. Thus, the implementation of good governance is necessary for improving the quality of healthcare services. A correlation is evident between improved growth and development indices and good governance. The government plays an important role and need to adjust according to local wisdom should be further explored in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Good governance is a crucial issue in strengthening the performance of zakat institutions. This research aims at elaborating good governance from the perspective of Islam and analyzing factors contributing to good corporate governance in a number of zakat institutions in Indonesia. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is applied to measure the contribution of each indicator to five principles of Good Governance in Zakat institutions; namely, transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence and fairness. With the assistance of Partial Least Square (PLS), version 3, it is shown that the principle of transparency contributes 60.4 percent; the principle of accountability 4.82 percent; the principle of responsibility 6.41 percent; and the principle of independence 53.3 percent. Therefore, it can be concluded that good governance in zakat institutions has been well implemented in some aspects, but have not yet been implemented comprehensively. This research is significant in that it contributes guidelines on zakat management, it provides teaching materials for higher education and a reference for formulating policies and regulations related to the standardization of good governance in zakat institutions.

Scholars interested in the promotion of “good governance” and those interested in transnational advocacy networks both are concerned with the potential power of external actors to alter domestic political structures. This article analyses the networks promoting neo-liberalisation and democratic practices in Indonesia's forestry sector as rival transnational networks. The analysis finds that the Asian economic crisis and collapse of the Suharto regime provided a political opening for alliances between the two rival networks that helped to bring down the ruling oligarchy in timber, but the power of domestic oligarchs controlling the sector remains strong. In brief, there are limits to the power of both external networks vis-a-vis domestic power relations. Given the financial resources and constraints on non-governmental organisations, they may be unable to alter the deep structures of capitalist accumulation and distribution based in Indonesia's forest resources.

In the current era of globalization and transnationalisation of law, the continued vitality and revitalisation of tradition in legal systems seems paradoxical. Common explanations consider the renewed emphasis on tradition in law and religion as an indication of the failure or the imminent breakdown of the state or see it primarily as a rejection of dominant globalisation processes. In both approaches, tradition primarily figures as a relic from the past and attempts to revitalise it are seen as inward and backward looking. We argue that these explanations are unsatisfactory. Based on our research findings in Indonesia and Morocco, we argue, that a wide range of actors--from global players to local people--refers to tradition as a strategic tool in the legal repertoire in order to bring forward their respective interests in very different fields ranging from development goals such as sustainability. natural protection and good governance, to absolute hegemony in the religious field. Not conservatism but discontent with the distribution of resources and power motivate actors to look for alternative legitimisation of their claims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to analyze the application of good enough governance in considering the citizens' value propositions that shape smart city societies. This paper applied a quantitative method with cross-country comparisons. Survey data were derived from the World Values Survey. Malaysia was chosen as the main study area, and compared with Indonesia and other countries worldwide. The findings revealed that politics is the value of least concern across all samples. In terms of qualities for children to develop, respondents in both Malaysia and Indonesia were less concerned about imagination and unselfishness. As for materialist versus post-materialist, the ratios of Malaysia and Indonesia were slightly higher than the average; the post-materialist value of free speech was the lowest value chosen. In the long term, all countries are experiencing the trend of moving toward post-materialist societies. To be sustained under the Collective and Adaptive System of smart city societies, good enough governance in Malaysia and Indonesia should consider the cultural context of the Muslim majority, prioritize governance content that allows more space for political participation and free speech, and cultivate the imagination and unselfishness of children. The generated insights underline the critical role that smart societies play in establishing smart cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
