Over the last decade, Indonesia has achieved remarkable progress in promoting transparent andinclusive development through implementing open government principles. This research investigatesone of the open government projects in Indonesia- One Data Indonesia (ODI), a one-stop opengovernment data portal that provides accurate, reliable, and interoperable single-reference datafor the public to use and redistribute without any limitation. The study aims to highlight thecurrent updates on open data implementation in Indonesia and the challenges that may hinder itsapplication in future. The study is an action research, conducted through the participation of theauthor in a three-month internship programme at the Executive Office of the President Republic ofIndonesia. Data on the portal’s engagement was based on Google Analytics. This study finds thatthere is disengagement in open data implementation, which is reflected by a small percentage ofavailable datasets and an imbalance in user access across Indonesia. This study argues that thedisengagement is due to several factors, including irrelevant and uncertain regulatory frameworks,confusion over setting priority goals, inadequate data infrastructure, and limited digital-literatehuman resource. Despite high investment and expectations from the portal, the benefits and civicengagement it has generated so far remain questionable.

The effort to put good governance in development in Indonesia is basically not new. Since the Reformation, the transformation of closed government into an open government (inclusive) has begun to be pursued. Highlighting the conflicts in the land sector that tend to strengthen lately, there are some issues that have intensified conflicts in the field, such as the lack of guaranteed land rights in various legal and policy products. In this paper, a descriptive method is considered important in identifying the applicable issue and methodological framework for addressing governance issues in Indonesia. To reduce such agrarian conflicts between farmers and the government, and as an effort to increase farmers' income, all farmers are incorporated into agricultural cooperatives. Agricultural cooperatives are structured down to the National Level. Thus, farmers participate in good access to the marketing of agricultural produce.Keywords:good governance, agrarian conflict, agricultural cooperative

This paper reviews the progress of banking reforms in China. Since 2002, the reform strategy has relied on publicly-financed bailouts, implementation of international best practices in bank governance and regulation, and listing of major banks in Hong Kong. The three largest banks have been stabilised, but we find little reason to expect this to be sustainable. Prudential indicators are comparable to international averages, but this is an outcome of bailouts and ongoing credit boom. Reforms of bank governance and regulatory frameworks that would alter banker’s incentives are implemented in a selective manner; principles that concentrate key powers in the centre are implemented vigorously, whereas those that require independent boards and regulators are ignored. Selectiveness of institutional reform means that the largest banks remain under state control and can be used as means of development policy for the better or the worse.

Moving beyond algorithms and big data as starting points for discussions about privacy, the authors of Privacy After the Agile Turn focus our attention on the new modes of production of information systems. Specifically, they look at three shifts that have transformed most of the software industry: software is now delivered as services, software and hardware have moved into the cloud and software’s development is ever more agile. These shifts have altered the conditions for privacy governance, and rendered the typical mental models underlying regulatory frameworks for information systems out-of-date. After 'the agile turn', modularity in production processes creates new challenges for allocating regulatory responsibility. Privacy implications of software are harder to address due to the dynamic nature of services and feature development, which undercuts extant privacy regulation that assumes a clear beginning and end of production processes. And the data-driven nature of services, beyond the prospect of monetization, has become part of software development itself. With their focus on production, the authors manage to place known challenges to privacy in a new light and create new avenues for privacy research and practice.
