Building Good Governance through Decentralization in Indonesia (Recognizing Some Inhibiting Factors in the Implementation Stage) (original) (raw)

This paper examines the relationship between decentralization and good governance in Indonesia, initiated in 1999, and identifies various inhibiting factors affecting its successful implementation. Despite improvements in governance indicators since decentralization, significant challenges remain, including political party dysfunction and the risk of corruption. Strategies for enhancing good governance through effective decentralization are proposed, emphasizing community role, anti-corruption measures, and leadership quality.
