Abstract Backgrounds: This study analyzes Indonesia's readiness to balance its role in responding to its internal and external health system situations, including the capacity of health advocacy and diplomacy in providing health services to the refugees. The analysis aims to provide recommendations to the government from the perspective of human rights and health security. Methods: Triangulation through observations, interviews with experts, and related literature and news searches were carried out using a qualitative approach to obtain thematic phenomena to validate data. Interviews were conducted using content analysis to get thematic phenomena based on structured interview guidelines to obtain the expert judgment. The selected informants are the main stakeholders in the health sector who meet appropriateness and adequacy principles. They also meet Tremblay's ideal informants' criteria, namely, role in community, knowledge, willingness, communicability, and impartiality.Results: Stakeholders have inadequate lines of communication, resulting in a lack of proper coordination between agencies. The Port Health Office (PHO) in Kupang was not involved in handling refugees despite its crucial role in preventing the entry and exit of potential disease outbreaks. The government of Indonesia established Presidential Regulation No. 125 of 2016 to deal with refugees abroad. However, the law has not been appropriately implemented. The city government of Kupang has not maintained an optimal balance between human rights and health security. Conclusions: Health advocacy and diplomacy capacity are needed to strengthen health resilience in preventive measures while recognizing the refugees' right to health as part of human rights.

<p><em>In recent years, with the rapid development of the media, an increasing number of corporations and even government agencies are using the new format known as the micro film as a means of advertising</em><em> and</em><em> marketing. In this study, we </em><em>took</em><em> the micro films produced by the Taipei City Government </em><em>as objects of analysis to</em><em> investigate the image of the city as constructed in and produced by these films. Furthermore, </em><em>in this study, </em><em>the symbol of image in </em><em>three such micro films </em><em>was </em><em>studied: Love@Taipei, My Micro Tour of Taipei, and Happily Ever After. It was found that in these films, the characteristics of the city of Taipei have </em><em>been </em><em>presented accurately and successfully </em><em>by means of</em><em> the [appropriate selection of] celebrity performers, the romance narratives used, and the lively presentation of these films. Therefore, these films have foregrounded </em><em>an</em><em> image of Taipei that is free, friendly, diverse, and progressive; furthermore, they have successfully conveyed the idea that “Taipei is a city that is positive and capable of outstanding achievements”</em><em>.</em><em> These films, designed to attract audiences, have been made with great skill and portray little elements of the government-run campaigns they are actually part of, thus making them even more entertaining for viewers.</em><em></em></p>

This research depicts the dynamics of street vendors’ resistance to the city government’s policy. The research applied qualitative approach with research strategy of case study. The research result showed that street vendors’ strategies in dealing with the city government were devised in various ways, both covert and open ones. Covert resistance tended to be put up when street vendors were already in a weak position. However, when street vendors were in a firm position, they tended to choose open resistance. The theme of resistance was adjusted to the situation and policies imposed by the government. When eviction was carried out, street vendors’ resistance was focused on the effort to ask for space for trading. When relocation was carried out, street vendors’ resistance was put up to obtain strategic locations and empowerment programs. When the zoning system was applied, street vendors attempted to intervene in the criterion of green, yellow, and red zones.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the role of electronic governance (e-governance) in enabling asylum seekers’ access to public services in the city of Durban, South Africa. Because of COVID-19, the government scaled down its operations, limiting access to public services, including among migrants. Design/methodology/approach Because of COVID-19-related restrictions, a systematic review was conducted of the relevant academic literature as well as the information portals of relevant government departments, municipalities and research reports on migration and refugees in South Africa. A total of 320 peer-reviewed research articles were identified. These were filtered and 68 relevant articles were selected. Findings The study found that asylum seekers have limited access to public services via information communication technology-enabled mechanisms. Whilst the city government has embraced e-governance, it is still in its nascent stages. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to a desktop one because of COVID-19 restrictions and it focused exclusively on asylum seekers. Therefore, its findings can only be generalised to this category of people. Practical implications Future studies on this subject should gather data from all categories of migrants to gain in-depth perspectives. Social implications All spheres of governance in South Africa should recognise asylum seekers as a constituency that deserves access to public services. E-governance can facilitate easier access to these services, and policies need to be aligned with this reality. Originality/value This study examined the efficacy of e-governance in enabling access to government services by asylum seekers during COVID-19. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no other study on this subject was conducted during this period.

There is a wide variety of universities, university campuses and university courses in Australia available to those interested in pursuing a higher education degree. This paper examines the impact of increasing competition for entrance to university on the educational outcomes for students from the government school sector. Using Melbourne as a case study, the research shows that, over a four-year period of increased competition, entry to some of the more academically accessible university campuses in the city became more difficult and this disproportionately affected the opportunities for university entrance among some groups. Despite the fact that there was no noticeable change in the academic standards achieved by government school completers, the rate at which government school students gained access to these universities declined noticeably during this time. These findings show how changes in supply of university places from year to year can have a profound effect on the opportunities of secondary-school completers—particularly those in more educationally disadvantaged settings.

The research method used is normative legal research method supported by interview and field data. Based on the analysis that the BOT agreement between Bogor City Government and PT Pancakarya Grahatama is a valid and binding agreement between both parties and can not be canceled unilaterally by Bogor City Government, although there are new regulations that change the authority of terminal A Baranangsiang become the authority of Central Government . The Agreement may be canceled if it violates Article 1320 of the Criminal Code or violates the subjective and objective terms of the validity of the agreement. When the agreement is mutually agreed upon by both parties, the agreement must continue and act as a binding law as regulated in Article 1338 of the Criminal Code.

The research will focus on actor relationships taking place between actors involved in capital partnerships as a recipe offered by Good Financial Governance.

For this study, the claim is completely wrong. The results of this study found that good financial governance actually gave birth to a new problem that is Exclusivity Actors. Exclusivity of actors as a consequence of the unequal amount of capital on actors involved in Good Financial Governance. Exclusion of Actors Governance impact on the limits of power between governance actors to be biased, depending on the composition of capital in partnership.Keyword : Exclusivity of Actor, Good Financial Governance, Capital Governance
