For example, the Mayor of Pekalongan shared complaints from fishermen who felt that the existence of the state and government made it difficult because to apply for a fishing permit, you had to contact 17 different agencies. The problem centers on obstacles to improving public services through deregulation and the factors that cause overregulation in Indonesia. This research was conducted to determine the obstacles to public services and over-regulation. The data used is secondary data collected through literature study and analyzed qualitatively. This research concludes that the Government has made various efforts to improve public services, including through deregulation and enacting several laws and regulations that combine the material of various laws and regulations that were previously in effect. The over-regulation that occurs in Indonesia is due to the unclear division of authority between various institutions so there are still many overlapping laws and regulations in regulating various affairs so that the applicable regulations can be said to be too many. In this regard, there needs to be a firm policy in dividing regulatory authority so that there is no more over-regulation because there are no more overlapping regulations.

The research focused on the dynamic of the form of divided or unified government in the debate of the bill of local public budgeting (RAPBD) at local legislature (DPRD). Meanwhile, the locus of research is the Pematangsiantar government in the period of 2005-2010. Thesis of this research is �the dynamic of the form of divided or unified government in the policy making process of local public budgeting in a governmental period is caused by factor of the transaction of fee.� All this time, the studies of the form on divided or unified government were oriented to the United Nation of America�s political system which used arithmetical definition. This definition emphasizes that the form of divided or unified government depend on political party control at the two governments branch, namely president and congress. That means that...

Furthermore, how government strategies allocate resources to increase participation in e-government is essential to investigate. Nevertheless, scant literature debates how e-government can facilitate citizen participation as part of the government’s deliberative policy-making process. To fill the gap, this study uses social media, good governance, and trust to predict e-government participation and testing the hypothesis using PLS-SEM and fsQCA on 455 Indonesian participants who have experience with e-government. The results from SEM confirmed that trust in e-government is the principal predictor of achieving citizens’ participation. To achieve citizens’ trust in e-government, the government must consider perceived ease of use and usefulness as critical factors while spreading e-government-related information on social media. At the same time, transparency...

The focus of the research was on bureaucratic reform and changes in the paradigm of public services after decentralization in Indonesia in the period 2001-2010. Several regions carried out bureaucratic reforms in order to provide optimal services, but of the approximately 440 regencies/cities in Indonesia at that time, most did not do so. By using qualitative methods, the authors found the following results: post-decentralization, bureaucratic behavior in public services did not undergo a paradigm shift; and bureaucratic reform as an effort to develop better public services could be achieved through building bureaucratic capacity and accountability. Based on the results, the authors provide recommendations: first, the pattern of personnel recruitment must change to a merit system; second, work standards and a system of rewards and punishments need to be developed; and third, the regional head must reform t...

Focus of the study is the Law No. 5 of 2014 about Civilian State Apparatus or Indonesian Civil Service, especially Civil Servant. The choice of this policy is due to the civilian state apparatus which is central to the process of governance development, particularly the public service. Although Law No. 43 of 1999 has been set on the prohibition of civil servants to be members of political parties, but the ban of relationship between them is not clearly regulated. Using the methods of policy analysis and secondary data, the study found that: 1. Law no. 5 of 2014 has emphasized the importance of performance as a parameter in measuring the success of CSA and the organization. 2. This policy has been trying to limiting relations between the bureaucrats and political officials. 3. This policy also has eliminated the dichotomy of central government local apparatus through the elimi...

The research question is how the policy actors such as the official of Medan and Local Parliament (DPRD) make of local regulationof poverty alleviation? Using qualitative methods with a policy analysis approach, it was found that, both the technocratic level, as well as the political level, the perceptions and elite models were dominant in the making of local regulation of poverty alleviation. Public participation as a policy target lacks a role in its formulation. Based on these findings, policy recommendation that should be done is the need for a combination of elite and participative or deliberative models in the making of local regulation.

The poverty reduction policy that is the focus of this research consists of three Regional Regulations (Perda), which were only issued in 2019, after the district was established (autonomy) since 1999, namely: Regional Regulation No. 2/2019 concerning the Implementation of Social Welfare, Regional Regulation No. 10/2019 concerning Protection and Fulfillment of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and Regional Regulation Number policy formulation11/2019 concerning the Implementation of Elderly Welfare. This qualitative research concludes that the process and formulation of poverty reduction policies in Toba Regency took place technocratically and elitist. First, the three Regional Regulations are considered as "derived regulations", the operationalization of a higher level of statutory regulation...

The focus of the study is the decentralization policy as regulated in Law No. 22/1999, which was amended twice through Law No. 32/2004 and Law No. 23/ 2014 concerning local government. In addition, it also discussed Law No. 25/1999 concerning financial relations in the central-regional government. Using qualitative methods with a policy/program analysis approach and secondary data, this study found that decentralization policies do not link directly to poverty reduction. Out of 34 provincial regions, only 8 provincial regions have achieved a human development index (HDI) above the national average, while having a poverty rate below the national average. In contrast, there are 13 provincial regions that reached HDI below the national average and at the same time have poverty levels above the national average. Based on these findings, this study recommends, first...

This article used qualitative methodology. Data which was collected during the early phases of the research process was analysed by using several descriptive analysis techniques.The authors found evidence that showed that the formation of a unified government during Gus Dur-Megawati, Megawati-Hamzah Haz, SBY-JK, and SBY-Boediono regimes did not translate into an easy public policy making process. The same is expected to apply to Jokowi-JK government. The existence of a divided government during Jokowi-JK regime continues hampering the policy making process. The existence of a divided or unified government does not have so much influence on the policy making process rather the substance of the policy, the level of support the government can garner in the national assembly.
