Role Of The Government

The Government Offices for the English regions were established in 1994 to coordinate the regional activities of three central government departments. A decade on, regional government in England is greatly expanded, and two other institutions of regional governance, the Regional Development Agencies and the Regional Assemblies, have also been created. In 2002 the Labour government proposed that this ‘triad’ of regional governance should be further reformed and strengthened, in some places being brought to democratic account. In this paper, we argue that academic research on the English regions has generally focused on the Regional Development Agencies and to a lesser extent the Regional Assemblies, to the exclusion of the Government Offices. This focus has led some to overstate the extent to which regional government represents the real decentralisation of power. Focusing on the role of the Government Offices, we argue that central government retains a great deal of power over the ‘triad’ institutions, which in their current form may be unable to challenge the structure of power in the English state.

This article looks at the emerging role of the regional chambers in England. Ostensibly acting as the first step towards elected regional government, these new partnerships have become an integral part of New Labour's pragmatic approach to English regionalisation. Providing a counterweight to the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), regional chambers are intended to provide an inclusive forum for the various local and regional stakeholder interests. The remit of these voluntary bodies will include monitoring the activities of the RDAs and providing strategic input into a range of regional policy initiatives. Focusing on developments in two English regions, the article considers whether regional chambers will be able to compensate for the democratic deficit that has long been an intrinsic part of the regional state apparatus in England.

Based on Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining began to open new horizons regarding the juridical aspects of mining management from its environmental aspects as well as being discussed about the independence of Indonesian mining. The role of the government in the formulation of environmental management supervisory policies must be optimized because natural resources have a very important role, especially in the context of increasing state revenue through clear and fair mechanisms of taxes, levies and profit sharing, and protection from ecological disasters.

Data analysis in this research is by qualitative analysis. Based on the contents of the discussion related to the supervision of environmental management in the mining sector based on Law no. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining covering environmental management, reclamation and post-mining including environmental management and monitoring in accordance with environmental management documents or environmental permits that are owned and have been approved; arrangement, restoration and improvement of land in accordance with its allocation; stipulation and disbursement of reclamation guarantee; post mining management; stipulation and disbursement of post-mining guarantees; and compliance with environmental quality standards in accordance with statutory provisions.

Over the past three decades, many nations have accelerated their efforts to develop academic research commercialization to help drive their innovation and productivity goals. Despite failure to achieve the desired results, surprisingly very few studies have examined how research commercialization initiatives are designed at the government level. This study reviews the historical role of the government and the interplay between significant shifts in research direction, funding and accounting that contributed to the development of academic research commercialization in New Zealand. The paper concludes that funding pressures combined with the government’s lack of early recognition and formal endorsement of research commercialization as a vital activity contributed to previous low levels of academic research commercialization. The important lessons to be learnt from the New Zealand case are that academic research commercialization requires a coherent long-term national strategy that is responsive, promises results and has funding incentives.

This study aims to determine how the Manado City Religious Harmony Forum from now on known as FKUB empowers the roles stipulated in Joint Regulations Number 9 and Number 8 of 2006 by the Minister of Religion and the Minister of Home Affairs. A qualitative approach was applied to this study using the literature review method. At the same time, perform data analysis in qualitative descriptions. This is because the policy's success depends very much on the role of the government, namely the government gives the authority to FKUB managers to act as a management team to deliver information on policies formulated by the central government to cities/regions. This structured accountability system is based on the bureaucracy's compliance with the upper-level bureaucracy or the designated level of bureaucracy. Is there a smooth routine procedure and whether there are problems and the expected implementation and implementation of all existing plans and plan targets—impact (benefit). Therefore, the policy implementation process's measurement is carried out to transfer information or news from a higher organization to a lower one.
