Rastra is one of the social aids organized by Indonesian government to help the poor reduce their burden on the household. However, in 2017 the government amended this polic, called Non-cash food Assistance (BPNT). This new policy was operative based on 5 benchmarks of the alteration in attitudes and the behavior of the public and members of the bureaucracy, the alteration in leadership style, the efficiency of using sources, and the reduction of legalistic approaches. This research was commenced in November 2018 and aimed to analyze the transformation of Rastra Policy into BPNT, especially in Kalisat village, Jember district. The author revealed that this change had aimed to manage the stock of rice and the price because the government shared the aids once a month.

PKH is a program launched by the government in the context of accelerating poverty reduction while at the same time improving the quality of human resources, especially in the very poor community groups throughout Indonesia. This program is specialized in two components, namely education and health. However, the program which is expected to create a quality of life for the poor, especially in the field of education and health, still has problems in implementing it in the field. The problem is that in practice there are still things that are not in accordance with the procedures that apply to the PKH general manual. The first problem is the uneven number of poor people who get aid funds from PKH. To  find out the results of the 2019 program, that is by evaluating using six indicators. Through this type of qualitative research with descriptive research type, the researcher determines that this informant consists of key informants and key informants. Data collection techniques in this study used observation, interview and documentation techniques. This study aims to determine the results of the implementation of the PKH in Batu Raja Village, Pondok Kubang Sub-District, Central Bengkulu Regency by evaluating the implementation of the program in 2019. From the research and analysis of data conducted, it shows that the implementation of the program has run effectively. This is based on evaluation indicators done by the researcher.

Effectiveness Index

The index of government effectiveness captures perceptions of the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and the degree of its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the credibility of the government's commitment to such policies. These perceptions are the main attributes of Government Effectiveness Index. The majority of the OIC member states remained negative on Government Effectiveness Index till 2014. What are the Islamic thoughts on these attributes of Government Effectiveness Index? How the government effectiveness can be improved according to the Islamic economic thoughts? These questions are dealt with in this exploratory paper. In the Muslim world, most of the countries are with low income and tax collection is less. This less collection creates a budget pressure to co-brand with government expenditures. The religion Islam not only confesses to the state to take of the poor but to the wealthy people also have a responsibility to take care of the poor. This Islamic thought will support the government to mark some strategies to motivate the wealthy for participating in poverty reduction programs.===============================================Atribut Efektivitas Pemerintah: Suatu Pemikiran Ekonomi Islam - Indeks efektivitas pemerintah menangkap persepsi kualitas layanan publik, kualitas layanan sipil dan tingkat independensinya dari tekanan politik, kualitas formulasi kebijakan dan implementasi, dan kredibilitas komitmen pemerintah terhadap kebijakan tersebut. Persepsi ini merupakan atribut utama dari Indeks Efektivitas Pemerintah. Mayoritas negara anggota OKI tetap negatif pada Indeks Efektivitas Pemerintah hingga 2014. Apa pemikiran Islam tentang atribut-atribut Indeks Efektivitas Pemerintahan ini? Bagaimana efektivitas pemerintah dapat ditingkatkan sesuai dengan pemikiran ekonomi Islam? Pertanyaan-pertanyaan ini dibahas dalam makalah eksplorasi ini. Dalam dunia Islam, rata-rata negara mempunyai pendapat dan pungutan pajak yang rendah. Hal ini mengakibatkan tekanan anggaran yang tidak bisa mengimbangi pengeluaran pemerintah. Agama Islam tidak hanya mewajibkan negara untuk mengurus orang, tetapi juga dibebankan kepada orang-orang kaya. Pemikiran seperti ini akan mendukung pemerintah untuk menciptakan strategi agar orang-orang kaya termotivasi untuk berpartisipasi dalam program pengentasan kemiskinan.

Purpose of the study: This study on poor community empowerment focuses on poverty which is becoming the target group of developers in the Majalengka district. The main problem in poverty reduction is the large number of people living in poverty. Methodology: This study uses social capital approaches and theories. Also, a qualitative descriptive method is used. Main Findings: The results show that the program can be carried out with significant changes in community empowerment and proves useful based on the social capital approach. Moreover, the social capital study can enrich social capital applications by strengthening solidarity, relationship and networks. Although the network is still very premature, efforts to develop it are still being made by community groups. The community empowerment program developed by the government is for assistance in the agricultural sector. Applications of this study: Social capital convergence in community empowerment can be a force to improve welfare and overcome poverty. This study on social capital proves can make an academic contribution to the empowerment of the poor. Novelty/Originality of this study: To eradicate poverty, the Indonesian government has carried out a variety of methods including The Hope Family Program, hereinafter referred to as PKH and The Urban Poverty Reduction Program as P2KP along with other Central and Regional government programs. However, unfortunately, these programs have not been able to reach all regions, so there are still many areas needing such solutive treatments from the local government. Therefore, the empowerment of poverty requires institutional efforts and togetherness between parties with the poor (integrated approach) as an effort to empower the poor. This paper critically analyses the poverty reduction programs and highlights the problems associated with them.

Abstract This paper discusses whether the social dependency mentality in Romania is a consequence of path (past) dependence (that is, the country’s cultural and historical inheritance), or of the failure of social protection policies implemented after 1990. By taking a deductive approach and using data from Eurobarometers and several international databases, as well as by conducting several statistical analyses, we first identify the socio-economic and institutional factors associated with social dependency mentality in former communist countries, today members of the EU. Drawing on the results obtained, we then characterize the situation in Romania and provide explanations on two levels: dependence mentality as cultural inheritance - hypothesis supported by sociological, psychological and cultural-anthropological studies - and dependence mentality as a consequence of the implemented social protection policies which did not solve the issue of poverty but rather speak about incoherence, lack of vision, populism etc. We conclude that social dependency mentality is associated with the burden of the past, but also with the level and quality of education and the government strength to implement policies and provide incentives for individual responsibility in a free market. The limitations in terms of data coverage do not allow us to establish the exact weight each of the factors has in explaining social dependency mentality and, consequently, further studies are necessary considering the importance this issue currently has in poverty reduction.

The impasse between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the governments in Nigeria (state and federal) manifested in a repeated ASUU strikes, having implications on students and society in the contemporary changing world. Hence the study examines the adverse impacts of the strikes on university students and the society that embodies the stakeholders. The study discovered that the strikes are orchestrated largely by the union quest to protect its members’ welfare and swift greeting of any perceived unfriendly steps by the government with strike actions while the government fell short in funding and entrenching a right legal milieu for negotiation and regulation of ASUU. With the secondary sourced data from journals, newspapers, journals, books and the internet while underpinning the research with the social contract theory, the study concludes that the public university students are exposed and tempted to indulge in social vices, have a sense of being disadvantaged unlike their private colleagues, and the society developmental agenda is threatened because of the poor quality of graduates produced from the Ivory Tower. It recommends that government and ASUU should renegotiate their agreements while the former should also ramp up the budgetary funding allocation to the University amongst others.

Health is the basic right for everybody, therefore every citizen is entitled to get the health care. In enforcing the regulation for Jaringan Kesehatan Nasional (National Health Supports), it is heavily influenced by the foreign interests. Economically, this program does not reduce the people’s burdens, on the contrary, it will increase them. This means the health supports in which should place the government as the guarantor of the public health, but the people themselves that should pay for the health care. In the realization of the health support the are elements against the Syariah principles. Indonesian Muslim Religious Leaders (MUI) only say that the BPJS Kesehatan (Sosial Support Institution for Health) does not conform with the syariah. The society is asked to register and continue the participation in the program of Social Supports Institution for Health. The best solution is to enforce the mechanism which is in accordance with the syariah principles. The establishment of BPJS based on syariah has to be carried out in cooperation from the elements of Social Supports Institution (BPJS), Indonesian Muslim Religious (MUI), Financial Institution Authorities, National Social Supports Council, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, the Social Supports Institution for Helath (BPJS Kesehatan) based on syariah principles could be obtained and could became the solution of the polemics in the society.

El artículo analiza la diplomacia pública del gobierno de Lázaro Cárdenas centrándose en su opción por publicitar la pobreza nacional en el extranjero, especialmente en Estados Unidos. Se plantea que se trató de una estrategia inédita, que accedió a poner en riesgo el “prestigio nacional” con el fin de justificar ante la opinión pública estadounidense la necesidad de implementar las reformas contenidas en el Plan Sexenal. Aprovechando la inusual empatía hacia los pobres en tiempos del New Deal, se construyó una imagen específica de pobreza que fuera higiénica y redimible. Ésta, sin embargo, no generó consenso entre los mexicanos. This article analyzes the public diplomacy of the government of Lázaro Cárdenas, focusing on the administration’s decision to publicize the nation’s poverty internationally, especially in the United States. This study suggests that this was an unprecedented strategy, putting “national prestige” at risk in order to explain the importance of implementing the reforms contained in the Six Year Plan, in the face of public opinion in the United States. Taking advantage of the increased empathy felt towards the poor during the New Deal, a specific image of hygienic and redeemable poverty was constructed. However, this strategy did not generate agreement among Mexicans.

Mental Defectives

Dr. C.K. Clarke (1857-1924) was one of Canada’s most prominent psychiatrists. He sought to improve the conditions of asylums, helped to legitimize psychiatry and established formal training for nurses. At the beginning of the 20th Century, Canada experienced a surge of immigration. Yet – as many historians have shown – a widespread anti-foreigner sentiment within the public remained. Along with many other members of the fledgling eugenics movement, Clarke believed that the proportion of “mental defectives” was higher in the immigrant population than in the Canadian population and campaigned to restrict immigration. He appealed to the government to track immigrants and deport them once they showed signs of mental illness. Clarke’s efforts lead to amendments to the Immigration Act in 1919, which authorized deportation of people who were not Canadian-born, regardless of how many years that had been in Canada. This change applied not only to the mentally ill but also to those who could no longer work due to injury and to those who did not follow social norms. Clarke is a fascinating example of how we judge historical figures. He lived in a time where what we now think of as xenophobia was a socially acceptable, even worthy attitude. As a leader in eugenics, therefore, he was a progressive. Other biographers have recognized Clarke’s racist opinions, some of whom justify them as keeping with the social values of his era. In further exploring Clarke’s interest in these issues, this paper relies on his personal scrapbooks held in the CAMH archives. These documents contain personal papers, poems and stories that proclaim his anti-Semitic and anti-foreigner views. Whether we allow his involvement in the eugenics movement to overshadow his accomplishments or ignore his racist leanings to celebrate his memory is the subject of ongoing debate. Dowbiggin IR.
