This article argues that good governance is a concern if a society is in possession of the political, legal, and administrative institutions which make it possible to enact and implement policies that can broadly be understood as public goods. It suggests that, in many cases, good governance does not only refer to certain qualities of government institutions, but also to governments' interaction with the various sections of the private sector, and that it can be produced by the government alone, but that in many cases there is a need for collaboration with business and/or voluntary organizations. The article concludes that good governance is based in a normative theory which gives some orientation for what should be regarded as good.

The term Good Governance (an-Nizam al-Siyasah) is an Islamic concept in the implementation of good governance according to the Qur'an and Hadith. This concept was re-emerged by UNDP in 1990 which was implemented by Umar bin Abdul Aziz during the Umayyad dynasty, in balancing a synergistic and constructive relationship between the state, the private sector and society, through the principles of good governance applied by Umar bin Abdul Aziz: 1. tawhid, 2. Trust, 3. Deliberation, 4. Justice and Law Enforcement, 5. Equality, 6. Brotherhood, 7. Human Rights (HAM), 8. Effective and Efficient, 9. Social Supervision. Umar bin Abd Aziz's principles of good governance are in line with Islamic values, such as: Allah as the highest caliph, trustworthiness, deliberation, justice, equality, brotherhood, human rights, and commanding good and evil. In comparison, UNDP and LAN Good Governance have the following principles: participation, law enforcement, transparency, equality, responsiveness, effectiveness, professionalism, supervision. The principles of good governance of Umar bin Abdul Aziz associated with maqasid sharia are; the principle of tawhid according to maqasid shari'ah in the field of muhafazah ad-din (maintaining religion), the principle of trustworthiness and effectiveness and efficiency, including the category of muhafazah al-mal (protection of property). The application of deliberation, including the category of muhafazah al-aql (preservation of reason) and brotherhood is included in the category of muhafazah al-nasl (maintaining offspring). Human Rights (HAM) are included in the category of muhafazah al-nafs (protecting the soul). in line with the maqasid shari'ah al-Syatibi. If tawhid is connected with Imam Malik's istislahi theory, then this principle includes daruriyyah (principle), while justice and law enforcement, deliberation, trust, equality, brotherhood are included in the hajiyyah category. effective, efficient, social supervision is included in the category of taksiniyah. Then how is good governance implemented and how is it related to UNDP good governance.

Konsep ini dimunculkan kembali oleh UNDP pada 1990 yang pernah dilaksanakan Umar bin Abdul Aziz pada masa dinasti Umayyah, dalam menyeimbangkan hubungan yang sinergis dan konstruktif antara negara, sektor swasta dan masyarakat, melalui  prinsip  good governance yang diterapkan Umar bin Abdul Aziz: 1. tawhid, 2. Amanah, 3. Musyawarah, 4. Keadilan dan Penegakan Hukum, 5. Persamaan, 6. Persaudaraan, 7. Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM), 8. Efektif dan Efisien, 9. Pengawasan Sosial. Prinsip-prinsip Good governance Umar bin Abd Aziz  sejalan dengan tata nilai Islam, seperti: Allah sebagai khalifah tertinggi, amanah, musyawarah, keadilan, persamaan, persaudaraan, HAM, dan amar makruf nahi munkar.  Sebagai bandingannya adalah Good Governance UNDP dan LAN memiliki prinsip sebagai berikut: partisipasi, penegakan hukum, transparansi, kesetaraan, daya tanggap, efektif, profesionalisme, pengawasan.

Natural hazards have evolved from being the responsibility of subnational governments—if the government intervened all—to become a core function of national governments. The cost of disaster losses has increased over time in states with developed economies, even as fewer lives are lost. Increasing losses are caused by an increasing number of extreme weather events, which wreak havoc on urbanizing populations that build expensive structures in vulnerable locations. Hazards governance attempts to use political and organizational tools to mitigate or prevent damage and bounce back when disasters occur. In large and developed states, authority for hazards governance is fragmented across levels of government, as well as the private sector, which controls much of the infrastructure and property that is subject to losses. The political consequences of disaster losses are mixed and depend on contextual factors: sometimes politicians, government agencies, and nonprofit and voluntary organizations are blamed for failures on their watch, and sometimes they are rewarded for coming to the rescue. The study of disasters has become more interdisciplinary over time as scholars seek to integrate the study of natural hazards with socio-political systems. The future of hazards governance research lies in improving understanding of how to manage multiple, overlapping risks over a period of time beyond next election cycle, and across levels of government and the private sector.

Governance is quite distinguishable from the government that deals with executive, its mode of appointment or election, state institutions and their functioning powers that are documented in constitution and laws there under while governance deals with policy, decision-making and government's effectiveness. Government has constitutional and legal duties and limitations in dealing with civil society, media, press and private sector. Government owes responsibility of the development of undeveloped areas and facilitates the residents to have equal opportunity, rule of law, standardized education and health services, employment opportunities, maintain security, law and order of the country. Whereas, governance deals with principles of solutions to the problems of the public and private sector. Good governance ensures socio-economic stability, rule of law, meritocracy and welfare of citizens through social services and developments.  Both government and governance work together to deal with political and administrative structures as well as establishment of cooperative network and connection between the different sectors of the state to resolve the shared public disorders, complications and problems however, good governance is the prerequisite for administrative, political, socio-economies solutions and human development. This paper will explore the elements of good governance and identify the issues of governance in Pakistan with conclusion of proposed solutions.

Public services in recent years become a central issue has forced all parties, both state and public institutions to perform again in its implementation regulations. Although the provision of public services is an obligation that must be done by the government as the organizer of the state. However, the obligation to provide such services are still not able to give satisfaction to the user community. To realize good governance requires the synergistic partnership between agencies both within and outside the government bureaucracy. The agencies include the private sector and civil society. Partnerships must be built in an environment that is transparent, which is built with good communication, especially in any decision-making. This meant that the policies are formulated to meet the expectations of society. Thus, the partnership between government, communities and businesses are expected to promote the establishment of governance, development and public services more democratic and more professional.Pelayanan publik dalam beberapa tahun terakhir menjadi isu sentral telah memaksa semua pihak, baik negara dan lembaga publik untuk tampil lagi dalam peraturan pelaksanaannya. Meskipun pelayanan publik adalah kewajiban yang harus dilakukan oleh pemerintah sebagai penyelenggara negara. Namun, kewajiban untuk menyediakan layanan tersebut masih belum mampu memberikan kepuasan kepada masyarakat pengguna. Untuk mewujudkan tata pemerintahan yang baik membutuhkan kemitraan sinergis antara lembaga baik di dalam dan di luar birokrasi pemerintah. Badan-badan termasuk sektor swasta dan masyarakat sipil. Kemitraan harus dibangun dalam lingkungan yang transparan, yang dibangun dengan komunikasi yang baik, terutama dalam pengambilan keputusan. Ini berarti bahwa kebijakan yang diformulasikan untuk memenuhi harapan masyarakat. Dengan demikian, kemitraan antara pemerintah, masyarakat dan bisnis diharapkan untuk mendorong terwujudnya pelayanan pemerintahan, pembangunan dan publik yang lebih demokratis dan lebih profesional.

Since 2004, the political situation in French Polynesia has been marked by chronic instability. Waves of electoral reform initiatives undertaken by the government in order to improve political life have not been successful. This is not surprising since these reforms have been adopted without appropriate consultations with the population and often against the wishes of the local assembly. As a result, these reforms have in fact accentuated the problems they were supposed to resolve. This situation, criticised by a large majority of Polynesian voters, is the result of the violation by the principal political actors in French Polynesia of the principles of good governance developed by the United Nations Development Programme in 1997 and by the Pacific Islands Forum in the Pacific Plan 2006-15. Yet, these are not unsolvable problems should the political actors show the will to tackle them efficiently.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis capaian program legislasi daerah dari aspek politik hukum. Program tersebut dilaksanakan setiap tahun lembaga eksekutif dan legislatif sebagai bentuk legal policy dalam menyusun suatu program, yang mana setiap program tersebut membutuhkan landasan hukum yang konstitusional. Hal ini juga menjadi salah satu indikator tercapainya good governance dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan daerah. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis empiris dan análisis data kualitatif, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa tingkat keberhasilan pembahasan Program legislasi daerah di Aceh hanya 24,66% per/tahun. Ada pelbagai kendala yang menghambat pelaksanaan program legislasi daerah di Aceh, diantaranya adalah anggaran yang minim, political will yang tidak kuat, terbatasnya sumber daya manusia dengan waktu yang tersedia, serta tidak realistisnya antara jumlah qanun usulan Prolegda dengan kemampuan penyelesaian. Pemerintah dan DPR harus lebih realistis dalam menetapkan jumlah target legislasi daerah tiap tahun.  Achievement of Aceh Legislation Programs This study aims to analyze the achievements of the regional legislative program from the political law aspects. The program is carried out annually by the executive and legislative bodies as a form of legal policy in developing a program where each of which requires a constitutional legal basis. This is also one indicator of the achievement of good governance in the administration of regional government. Using empirical juridical research methods and qualitative data analysis, this study found that the success rate of discussion of the regional legislative program in Aceh was only 24.66% per year. There are various obstacles that hamper the implementation of the regional legislation program in Aceh, including a minimal budget, insufficient political will, limited human resources and time, and an unrealistic number of Prolegda's proposed qanuns and the ability to resolve the proposal. The government and Parliament should be more realistic in setting the target number of regional legislation each year.
