The One

The provision of water services has traditionally been considered a responsibility of the state. During the late 1980s, the private sector emerged as a key actor in the provision of public services. Mexico City was no exception to this trend and public authorities awarded service contracts to four private consortia in 1993. Through consideration of this case study, two main questions arise: First, why do public authorities establish partnerships with the private sector? Second, what are the implications of these partnerships for water governance? This article focuses, on the one hand, on the conceptual debate of water as a public and/or private good, while identifying new trends and strategies carried out by private operators. On the other hand, it analyzes the role of the state and its relationships with other actors through a governance model characterized by partnerships and multilevel networks.Spanish La provisión del servicio del agua ha sido tradicionalmente considerada como una responsabilidad del Estado.

La ciudad de México no escapa a esta tendencia y en 1993 las autoridades públicas firman contratos de servicios con cuatro consorcios privados. A través de este estudio de caso, dos preguntas son planteadas: ¿Por qué las autoridades públicas establecen partenariados con el sector privado? ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones de dichos partenariados en la gobernanza del agua? Este artículo aborda por una parte, el debate conceptual del agua como bien público y/o privado, identificando nuevas tendencias y estrategias de los operadores privados. Por otra parte, se analizan el rol y las relaciones del Estado con otros actores a través de un modelo de gobernanza, definido en términos de partenariados y redes multi-niveles.French Les services de l'eau ont été traditionnellement considérés comme une responsabilité de l'État.

Teaching is understood to be a highly stressful profession. In England, workload, high-stakes accountability policies and pupil behaviour are often cited as stressors that contribute to teachers’ decisions to leave posts in the state-funded sector. Many of these teachers leave state teaching to take jobs in private schools, but very little is known about the nature of teachers’ work in the private sector. This research addresses this gap in knowledge and compares the sources of stress experienced by 20 teachers in the state sector to those of 20 teachers in the private sector. The paper is based on qualitative data from a larger study. It analyses data collected in interviews and focus groups with classroom teachers and middle leaders working in mainstream primary and secondary phase education in England. The results emphasise state school teachers’ acute distress in relation to workloads driven by accountability cultures. In comparison, private school teachers report less intense experiences of work-related stress, but some identify demanding parents as a concern. The research’s novelty lies in this comparison between sectors and these sector specific insights may help to focus school leaders’ efforts to improve teaching conditions in both sectors.

The Decision of Constitutional Court No.85/PUU-XI/2013 (The Decision of CC 2013) has canceled Law No. 7 Year 2004 on Water Resources (Law on WR 2014). The cancellation is a new hope for improving the management of water resources. During the implementation of Law WR 2004, there is mismanagement in the provision of drinking water. This paper has two focus issues, namely: first, how the low responsibility of the state for managing water resources impacts the fulfillment of drinking water for the citizens? Second, how are the improvements of water resources management expected to be realized through the Decision of CC 2013? From the discussion, the author has two conclusions. First, the negligence of the state caused that the role of the state in providing drinking water for the citizens was  lost by the role of private sector. For example, a year before judicial review (2012), the number of consumers of drinking water supplied by the national sector in in the counting unit of household level is only the part of 11.79 percent. The number was lost by the supply of private sector covering 38.85 percent of households nationally. Second, the Decision of CC 2013 brings a new hope. Some basic thought are the improvement of state’s responsibility for managing water resources, termination  on the private’s monopoly and termination on commercialization of water value.

Ruling Party

The 14th general election (GE 14) reveals that Pakatan Harapan (PH) had become a ruling party (2018-2020), but they failed to get any parliamentary or state assembly seats in Kelantan. The failure of PH to expand their influence in Kelantan is due to several traditional factors that are difficult for PH to break it out. This study is a qualitative study and reference materials that are physical and online are used as reference sources. In addition, information regarding political scenario in Kelantan also obtained through interviews with some respondents live in Kelantan. Therefore, this research found that the desire of PH to expand their influence in Kelantan was blurred. This is because PAS wisely set up a long-term political strategy by strengthening the education system under YIK, producing many hardcore supporters or fanatic followers, controlling the ‘surau’ and the mosques according to their needs and control of the state administration. Furthermore, PH needs to make concrete reformations to the party’s management such as producing talented young leaders and fostering a spirit of cooperation among members of the PH coalition if they are still interested in power in Kelantan.

The aim of this study was to examine how the transfer of the affairs of disabled people from the state to the municipalities had proceeded. The process of the transfer was examined and then the largest municipality, Reykjavík, was chosen for a closer examination on the policy and implementation concerning services for disabled people. A qualitative study was conducted in the autumn of 2012. Eight interviews were taken with key professionals who had been involved directly in the transfer or worked on the affairs of disabled people before or after the transfer. A specialist in the affairs of disabled people was interviewed at the Ministry of Welfare and at the Association of Local Authorities in Iceland. Furthermore, a key professional was interviewed in each of the six municipal services in Reykjavík. The interviewees believed that having decided on and gone through with the transfer was the right thing to do. They believed that services closer to the people who need it would be a better choice. The person that uses the services only needs to go to one place in order to receive it, instead of two as before. However, the interviewees had not seen a considerable improvement in the services as expected. A considerable additional funds are needed for the affair. The transition from the state to the municipalities was not sufficiently prepared. The affairs of disabled people requires a lot of interdisciplinary work as well, which the interviewees thought was proceeding well.

The State

  The State of Sabah is consist of multiethnic society in which each of the ethnics has cultural uniqueness that differs from one another. The acceptance of Islam caused an assimilation between the Bajaus traditions and Islamic teaching which then led to syncretism. Consequently, some of the practices are regarded as a part of Islamic teachings even though, these practices are actually inherited from their ancestors unrelated to Islamic rules provided in the al-Qur’an and prophetic traditions. The purpose of this study is to discuss the phenomenon of syncretism in their life cycle. Yet, the objective of this study is attempts to analyze the application of the wasatiyyah methodology in dealing with the phenomenon of syncretism. Accordingly, this is a qualitative study which adopts interviews and data analyze. The findings of the study shows that syncretism occured among the Bajau community. Moreover, in dealing of syncretism between tradition and the teachings of Islam, emerged two groups took a different approach to this issue. The first group are those who seek to practice Islam careful and condemn the heretical doctrine (bidaah) of the Bajau community practices that are not aligned with al-Quran and al-Sunnah. The second group are those who can accept the syncretism as a whole. Therefore, the methodology of wasatiyyah should be applied in dealing with the phenomenon to ensure a balance between idealism embodied in Islamic law with the reality of its implementation in the Bajau community. Keywords: Manhaj Wasatiyyah, Syncretism, Urf, Bajau, Semporna   Negeri Sabah mempunyai sebuah masyarakat majmuk yang dilatari dengan keunikan dan perbezaan budaya yang tersendiri dengan masyarakat lain. Pertembungan budaya dan kepercayaan agama telah melahirkan satu entiti hybrid yang menarik dan dikenali dalam khazanah disiplin ilmu fiqh budaya atau ilmu antropologi sebagai sinkretisme. Objektif kajian ini cuba membincangkan fenomena sinkretisme yang berlaku dalam amalan masyarakat Bajau di Semporna Sabah merangkumi aspek kepercayaan tradisi hingga adat kematian. Selain itu, objektif kajian ini cuba mengkaji dan menganalisis aplikasi manhaj wasatiyyah dalam menangani fenomena sinkretisme tersebut. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan metode pengumpulan data melalui temu bual dan analisis dokumen. Hasil dapatan kajian mendapati, terdapat banyak gejala sinkretisme yang berlaku dalam adat resam masyarakat Bajau yang sukar diketahui sama ada adat resam tersebut merupakan ajaran Islam yang tulen atau peninggalan tradisi silam pra-Islam. Selain itu, dalam menghadapi sinkretisme antara adat tradisi dengan ajaran Islam, muncul dua kelompok yang mengambil pendekatan berbeza dalam isu ini. Kelompok pertama adalah golongan yang berusaha untuk mengamalkan ajaran Islam sepenuhnya dan menghukumkan bidaah segala amalan masyarakat Bajau yang tidak sejajar dengan al- Qur’an dan al-Sunnah. Kelompok kedua pula adalah golongan yang dapat menerima sinkretisme secara keseluruhan. Oleh itu, manhaj wasatiyyah perlu diaplikasikan dalam menangani fenomena tersebut bagi memastikan keseimbangan di antara idealisme yang terkandung dalam hukum Islam dengan realiti perlaksanaannya dalam masyarakat Bajau. Kata kunci: Manhaj Wasatiyyah, Sinkretisme, Adat, Bajau, Semporna.
