E-procurement was a new model of muamalah applied in the procurement in several countries in the world. Indonesia was implemented from 2010, but the implementation was not maximal. Proven there were still doubts to use this modern muamalah model. So, this research aimed to find information on how e-procurement was implemented in Indonesia. Data were obtained from a questionnaire containing a list of structured and open questions provided to government agency procurement officers, provider staff, and secondary data from e-procurement research in several local governments in Indonesia.  The results showed that the implementation of e-procurement reduced fraud. Benefit (maslahah) e-procurement was proven to be more than the risk (mafsadat). There were still doubts about sharia in the implementation of procurement due to a lack of information. The implementation of e-procurement still needs the attention to strengthening the quality of procurement officials, regulations, supervision, and internet support so that e-procurement success.

The article examines both civil society initiatives that seek to address the mass violence of 1965 and 1966 and the state's responses to them. Unlike other political-transition contexts in the world, a transitional justice approach is apparently a formula that state authorities have found difficult to implement nationally for this particular case. The central government has, through its institutions, sporadically responded to some of the calls from civil society groups and has even initiated policy reforms to support such initiatives. Nevertheless, these responses were not sustained and any suggested programmes have always failed to be completed or implemented. Simultaneously, however, NGOs and victims are also voicing their demands at the local level. Many of their initiatives involve not only communities but also local authorities, including in some cases the local governments. In some aspects, these “bottom-up” approaches are more successful than attempts to create change at the national level. Such approaches challenge what Kieran McEvoy refers to as an innate “seductive” quality of transitional justice, but at the same time these approaches do, in fact, aim to “seduce” the state to adopt measures for truth and justice.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of the policy of the Governor of Nusa Tenggara Timur regarding the quota of beef cattle exports to areas of a national beef consumer toward the development of the Bali cattle population on Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara. Determination of the location by purposive sampling based on physical criteria (land area), biology (availability and population of Bali cattle), and socio-culture (policy) so that the sampling locations representing the agroecosystem of plantations in Kupang district. The material used was 57 Bali cattle and involved 107 respondents of Bali cattle farmers. Respondents were interviewed using a questionnaire of reproduction status of Bali cattle. In addition to interviews, field observations were also conducted to measure the response of Bali cattle production. This research uses primary and secondary data. Data analysis is done by building a dynamic system using Powersim and interpreting simulation results for the next 30 years.The results showed a significant decrease in the population of Bali cattle over the next 30 years due to the high mortality of calves and female parent, low reproductive status of the female, and the export of cattle from uncontrolled agroecosystems. The results of this study indicate that the beef cattle export quota currently determined by local governments needs to be reviewed. The strategy to improve the quality of Bali cattle production in plantation agroecosystems to support cattle export quotas from Timor Island namely (1) farmers and local governments in striving to increase the population of Bali cattle in the agroecosystem of plantation can be done with a technical approach including prevention of death of cattle to the lowest level (<5% per year) and limitations on cattle exports according to the ability of the region; (2) improving the reproductive quality of Bali cattle through artificial insemination or controlled mating management so that it is more efficient; and (3) the government and stakeholders need to review the policy to determined cattle export quotas and improve the reproductive status of cattle in good breeding practice.

<p>International activities of local governments, also known in the literature as paradiplomacy, have significantly increased in the recent years. In Indonesia, local governments are allowed to conduct international relations or city diplomacy in supporting of central government. In doing so, multiple international agreements have been signed by Indonesian local governments, mostly establishing sister city relations. The most active actors on the international stage are big cities, such as Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Bandung, all situated in Java. This research aims to explore challenges faced by small city, in this case city of Padang in conducting city diplomacy. The authors interviewed public officers in city of Padang and collected secondary data on the topic based on literature study. this article argues that small city has challenges that are not faced by big cities.  The study found that small city cannot conduct city diplomacy as well as big cities due to the following factors: lack of awareness of city diplomacy, small number of staff with sufficient knowledge about international relations, and lack of information and idea about the implementation of sister city MoU or action plan and complex bureaucracy procedure in conducting an agreement which potentially less motivate staff in doing paradiplomacy. This article concludes that city of Padang is still working to obtain many agreements in term of sister city while creating many action plans to effectively the agreements.</p>

This study examined the influence of the auditors’ competency, independency, and experiences towards audit quality of financial auditing of the staff of inspectorate in Tomohon City as part of their supervision function. The finding of this study could be an important input for improving the quality of financial management of the local government since the policy of decentralization has given the local governments authority not only to manage natural resources but also their financial sector. However, as could be seen there are still a lot of problems related to financial management mostly caused by the poor knowledge and skills related to financial auditing of government offici als responsible for this specific task. It is common to find inconsistency in the financial report of internal auditor  ( inspectorate )  and external auditor, Supreme Audit Agency  ( Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan) .There were two variables in this study. Audit quality was the dependent variable  ( Y ) while the independent variables elaborated into three variables, namely: auditor’s competency  ( X1 ) , auditor’s independency  ( X2 )  and auditor’s experiences  ( X3 ) . There were 36 personnel of the Inspectorate’s Office of Tomohon City participated as the sources of this study. Thus, the population of this research is the Tomohon City Regional Inspectorate officers. Data used in this study were primary and secondary data, while questioner and indepth interview as well as document study used as the data collection methods. The first consecutive methods employed to obtain primary data while the last used for obtaining secondary data. Both data analyzed using the multiple linear regression techniques.This study found that the influence of independent variable which were competency, independency and experiences towards dependent variables which was audit quality was significant. The 0.645 value of coeficient determination showed the significant relationship between both variables. This means that the equation model used in this study found the significancy at about 64,5%. The remaining proportion which was 35,5% explained by the other factors which were not part of this model. After examining the hypotheses, it can be concluded that partially competency had positive influence but not too significant to the quality of the inspectorate officer. However, independency and experiences had a positive and significant influence to the auditing quality of the public servant working in the inspectorate’s office.This study recommends to improving the knowledge and skills of the public apparatus by conducting short courses and training in accounting and auditing.Keywords: audit quality, competency, independency and experiences

International trade has fundamental importance for all the countries and the analysis concerning international trade particularly concerning tariff barriers is high on the agenda of researchers in the field of economics, business and politics. Aim of the study is to assess the world tariff barriers of 158 countries. Overall design of the study comprises of a crisp literature review, data extraction and analysis. It is a study of one hundred fifty-eight countries that uses secondary data taken from World Development Indicators (WDI) 2020. It uses Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) as research methodology. Results of GRA show that Macao SAR, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Montenegro, Mauritius, Brunei Darussalam, Myanmar, Chile, Peru and Australia have relatively highest grey relational grades meaning thereby, low tariff trade barriers whereas Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Central African Republic, Nepal, Guinea-Bissau, Fiji, Gabon, Barbados, Djibouti, St. Kitts and Nevis have lowest grey relational grade meaning thereby, these countries have high level of tariff based barriers of international trade. Interestingly, all the member countries of European Union occupy the rank of 27 (i.e. all countries have the same rank) which can be explained in the perspective of their union of tariff. Since, they have uniformed tariff policy as against rest of the world, therefore, have same rank. It is a study based on reliable real time data set. The study has value for all stakeholders i.e. international community, local governments, society at large, policy makers, researchers and international institutions.
