Incessant corporate failures have led to increasing governmental participation in the governance of the modern corporation. In this conceptual paper, we examine and propose that the role of government in the UK corporate governance system is four fold, namely: to enhance competitive advantage; to compensate for the failure of self-regulation; to prevent corporate scandals and restore investors’ confidence; and owing to significant public pressures and associated political undertones, to suggest to the public the government is still an effective overseer in the existing prominence of self-regulation. We contribute to the literature on corporate governance, politics, policy making and regulatory institutions, whilst raising important issues that are of practice and policy relevance.

The development policy in the reformation era gives priority to the paradigm of human development that puts people as the development actors and places local economy as a vehicle for community welfare. However, the government policy as stated in the national budget precisely contradicts with the role of government that should create the community welfare. This study uses the qualitative approach by using historical and verstehen methods. The management of the national budget shows the existence of the government's role in regulating the sources of general revenue and expenditure budget. The practices of the state financial management used for development purposes to create the public welfare have been conducted since the time of Prophet Muhammad. The management of the national budget in the reformation era uses performance-based budget structure that aims to improve the performance of government with good governance that requires the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and accountabilicy in its management. However, the abuse of the budget in the form of corruption still occurs in the management of this national budget. Key words: National Budget, Budget-Politics, Corruption, Islamic Economy.

What is the role of a government attorney who represents a government agency on judicial review? Most academic literature in the United States (US) advocates the ‘hired gun’ model in which the role of the government lawyer is no different from that of a lawyer who represents a private client (although some academics and government lawyers disagree). The prevailing view in Israel is that government lawyers are ‘ministers of justice’, who owe a primary obligation to the public interest rather than to the client agency. This difference is attributable both to fundamental differences in legal culture between the US and Israel as well as to unique features of the Israeli system of judicial review.
