Local Government Budget

State budget management is tightly related to how the existing state law regulates fiscal relationship between the central government and the regional-local governments.  The authority granted to regional-local government to manage their own budgeting more or less autonomously in practice results in mismanagement, misuse of available financial resources and even corruption.  Unfettered and unchecked financial leakage at the regional government level may and have resulted in failure to realize and implement projects much needed by society.  In light of this situation, a justified need arise for state intervention to monitor-control planning and realization of regional-local government budget. The author proposed the expansion of the Audit Board of the Republic Indonesia’s authority. They should not passively wait for financial reports to be submitted but actively assist regional-local government in planning their own budget, monitor the spending and realization of it and lastly, provide assistance in drafting the final report.

Centralization And Decentralization

The analysis is given on the correlation of state power and local government within the public power system of Russian Federation. The authors note that the interaction of relevant elements can be described as a dualistic model, based on a combination of centralization and decentralization principles. It is maintained, that the principle for interaction between state authorities and local government, especially in light of recent constitutinal amendments, should rest in clear delineation of functions and powers, excluding their arbitrary and unreasonable redistribution. It is also noted that for the effective functioning of local government, interaction between central and local authorities is important, based on the support of the latter by the state. State intervention implies the concept of rational centralization, which envisages strengthening state role in the implementation of both organizational and functional foundations of local government in strictly limited cases and without violating Art. 12 of the Russian Constitution.

The Village

ABSTRACTThis article explores how, in the village of Glendale in KwaZulu-Natal, residents and local government officials – including councillors and municipal technicians – ‘see’ the post-apartheid state. I show how residents of the village regard the government – despite extensive state intervention – as inadequate, complaining especially of their ‘invisible’ and ‘impersonal’ character. Indeed, for them, democracy has brought anything but ‘direct rule’. And yet, while chiefly rule is sometimes invoked as a favoured alternative, I argue that people's estrangement from democratic government is not the desire to return to ‘culture’ but rather an expression of structural difficulties central to South Africa's increasingly tenuous experiment with participatory democracy. I suggest that these difficulties are also not reducible to state failure or corruption but point towards contradictions in contemporary citizenship.

Agrarian Transition

States play a central role in systematic studies of agrarian changes in East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. However, due to China’s belated agrarian change, agrarian studies on China have only begun recently, and the role of the state is still relatively undiscussed. First, we review the history of state intervention on agricultural development. Then we focus on fiscal policies of the state’s intervention that have been implemented since the taxes and fees reforms, which involved a large number of state agricultural projects. Such state intervention is aimed at promoting food security and agricultural modernization and, in practice, is typically accompanied by land transfer promoted by local government. The local governments’ intervention has directly resulted in the emergence of capitalized family farms and the flow of industrial/commercial capital to the countryside, both of which constitute main aspects of China’s agrarian transition. Based on a case study of a county in Hunan Province, focusing on examples of the food security project and the agricultural vertical integration project, combining with the process of land transfer promoted by local government, we analyse the role of the state in the emergence of capitalized family farms and capital flow to the countryside, as well as connections between state interventions and capital accumulation. Then, we present the general development of capitalized family farms as well as the flow of agro-capital to the countryside based on provincial data, and interpret how agrarian transition evolves at a different pace among regions against the backdrop of state intervention. We emphasize the internal mechanism between state intervention and agrarian transformation based on the operation of specific agricultural projects and the local governments’ promotion of land transfer.

In an assessment of representative democracy in Australian local government, this paper considers long-run changes in forms of political representation, methods of vote counting, franchise arrangements, numbers of local government bodies and elected representatives, as well as the thorny question of constitutional recognition. This discussion is set against the background of ongoing tensions between the drive for economic efficiency and the maintenance of political legitimacy, along with more deep-seated divisions emerging from the legal relationship between local and state governments and the resultant problems inherent in local government autonomy versus state intervention.
