The paper reviews the changes in the structure and role of provincial and sub-provincial governments in Indonesia since independence. Particular attention is paid to the process of splitting both provinces and districts (kabupaten and kota) into smaller units. The paper points out that this process has been going on since the 1950s, but has accelerated in the post-Soeharto era. The paper examines why the splitting of government units has occurred in some parts of the Outer Islands to a much greater extent than in Java, and also examines the implications of developments since 1999 for the capacity of local government units to deliver basic services such as health and education.

Gaps in biodiversity conservation management within the Conservation Area that are the responsibility of the central government and outside the Conservation Areas or as the Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA) which are the authority of the Regional Government, have caused various spatial conflicts between wildlife /wild plants and land management activities. Several obstacles faced by the Local Government to conduct its authority to manage (EEA), caused the number and area of EEA determined by the Local Government to be still low. At present only 703,000 ha are determined from the 67 million ha indicated by EEA. This study aims to overview biodiversity conservation policies by local governments and company perceptions in implementing conservation policies and formulate strategies for optimizing the role of Local Governments. From the results of this study, there has not been found any legal umbrella for the implementation of Law number 23/ 2014 related to the conservation of important ecosystems in the regions. This regulatory vacuum leaves the local government in a dilemma for continuing various conservation programs. By using a SWOT to the internal strategic environment and external stratetegic environment of the Environment and Forestry Service, Bengkulu Province , as well as using an analysis of company perceptions of the conservation policies regulatary , this study has been formulated a “survival strategy” through collaboration between the Central Government, Local Governments and the Private Sector to optimize the role of Local Government’s to establish EEA in the regions.Keywords: Management gaps, Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA), Conservation Areas, SWOT analysis and perception analysis

This chapter examines the function, status and qualifications of the men that served in the role of county coroner in Ireland in the first half of the nineteenth century. This remains an under-researched area when compared to other local government figures of authority. The history of the office exposes tensions within a politically polarised society and the need for changes in legislation. A combination of factors initially undermined the social standing and reputation of coroners. An examination of the legislation on coroners that the administration subsequently introduced suggests that the authority of the office in early-nineteenth-century Ireland was not strictly jurisprudential, but political and confessional by nature. By analysing the personal background, work experience, social standing, political alliances and religious patronage of coroner William Charles Waddell (1798-1878), the paper charts the wider social and political narrative that allowed this eminently respectable Presbyterian figure to secure the role of coroner of County Monaghan.

This paper traces the history of local government in England (as opposed to the United Kingdom) since the early nineteenth century, and explores five long-term trends in its evolution. These are path dependence; the occurrence of major structural change; the phenomenon of policy reversal; the treatment of urban areas; and resistance to regional government. The author concludes that throughout the period under study, policy towards local government has exhibited a ‘pendulum effect’, with two opposing emphases operating in a sequential, rather than a simultaneous manner.

This paper is concerned with examining the role of the English economist Arthur (A.J.) Brown in the 1950s debate surrounding the wage-change unemployment relationship. While the publication of William (Bill) Phillips’ 1958 paper, and the subsequent moniker of the “Phillips Curve” attracted a wealth of attention, Brown’s book on the subject, The Great Inflation, and his later work on inflation, has received much less. Here the focus is on redressing somewhat this situation by looking at Brown’s work to see how much it predates Phillips’ paper, and what differences there are to it. We also considers this within the changing institutional structure of English economic networks in the 1950s that led to a relatively rapid acceptance of Phillips’ analysis, and in many cases, to a strong, ordinal interpretation of the Phillips Curve that overshadowed Brown’s work.

This chapter discusses how major new theatres were funded in Britain between the 1950s and the 1980s. It considers the role of local government in promoting and subsidizing the construction of theatres, as well as the contributions made by individual benefactors, grant-giving trusts, and local fundraising efforts. Its focus, however, is the Arts Council’s ‘Housing the Arts’ programme, which was introduced in 1965 and survived into the 1980s. ‘Housing the Arts’ only ever part funded theatre-building projects, but its views carried particular weight. Based on the extensive archives relating to the programme, the chapter charts the origins and operation of the programme, and the difficulties that it increasingly faced.

This paper considers the Mike Figgis film Red, White & Blues as a history of blues music in Britain. The film was produced as part of a series celebrating the centenary of the blues, and not unnaturally its British focus begins with the 1950s and 1960s. The paper argues, however, that it is an incomplete history because it fails to consider how the British blues genre and scene developed subsequently. It also argues that the film focuses too much on the memories and performances of the musicians. It fails to consider the industrial context in which any ‘new’ genre can emerge, and pays almost no attention to the role of its consumers, the audiences and fans across the country that were an integral part of its development. The paper suggests that research into that aspect of the British blues scene would complement the various documentary accounts of the music and musicians.

The author wrote this essay during the 1950s for the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education, which at that time was encouraging historians to take a fresh look at history of education. Intended to stimulate discussion within the Fund's Committee on the Role of Education in American History, the essay,here condensed, was never published. In his attempt to broaden the range of research concerns for educational historians, Professor Storr explored the meanings of education as it contributed to the making of the American character. The author was asked to add commentary, set here in italics to distinguish it from the original text. Storr's reflections arc as pertinent to scholarship today as they were to the revitalization of history of education twenty years ago.

Mining of rock minerals in the sandstone and gravel type is a mining commodity owned by the people of Lombok East Regency which requires supervision by the local government. Unfortunately, there are still problems in monitoring mining activities of excavated rock materials, which are not in accordance with mining principles. This study aims to determine the role of the local government in the supervision of mining excavated rock materials as well as the factors that influence the existence of the activities in Lombok East Regency. This research uses an empirical legal method, which is a study examining problems according to facts that take place in the field. The results show that the Lombok East Regency Government no longer has the authority to supervise the mining since it has been taken over by the Provincial Government, starting with the issuance of Law No. 23 of 2014 concerning the Regional Government. The factor hampering the mining supervision and licensing process is that it is difficult for miners and mining companies to apply for permits whereas business owners are obliged to obtain mining permits from the Provincial Government. Given the great distance, this has been one of the factors causing many illegal mining activities to occur in Lombok East Regency.
