The discussion about development discourse in a country talking about how an idea affect economic policies. In Indonesia, the development discourse continues to change depending on the ruling regime. After the reformation, the dominant discourse is a neoliberal one that minimizes the role of the state in development. During the reign of Jokowi-JK, however, the role of the state strengthened. The government plans to build a massive infrastructure of the physical economy. The government legitimized its choice of action as the implementation of the Pancasila and Trisakti ideologies. Using the theories of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, this article argues that the state legitimizes its policies as implementing ideology by building infrastructure development discourse, but covers only pragmatic practices that occur. The practices themselves are pragmatic because the government ignored the fate and rights of citizens affected by infrastructure development.

The growth of central government debt in Indonesia is the subject of endless discussion for both economists and experts in other fields. Although the government uses this debt in order to increase Indonesia's competence through infrastructure development, there are problems in the form of previous accumulated debts. This accumulative debt is known as the concept of “debt stock” which is assessed through Indonesia's fiscal resilience (APBN) to measure the repayment capacity of new debts that will be made in the future. This ability will be seen using long-term data from 1990 to 2016 which is reflected in the variables of central government debt, government spending and revenue so that it is known that Indonesia's central government debt can still be said to be sustainable and the Indonesian government should prioritize productive expenditures in order to increase government revenues.

This chapter analyses the role of government initiatives in tourism competitiveness, using data collected from suppliers operating in a distressed tourist destination. The government’s involvement in the process of tourism development, especially in developing countries, is critical. The role and participation of governments in tourism development vary from minimal to a high level of involvement. Developing economies with ongoing political and economic challenges like Zimbabwe have not been comprehensively researched, especially on the nexus between competitiveness and government initiatives. Using qualitative data from a convenience sample of 15 hospitality and tourism managers in Zimbabwe, it was found that the role of government is important for enhancing tourism competitiveness. The study concludes that a higher level of government involvement is needed for Zimbabwe to enhance competitiveness. The government should play a greater role, especially in providing an enabling environment for improved competitiveness while reducing corruption.

Advocates for ending child marriage in Indonesia face an uphill battle. The practice of child marriage is rooted in broader structural problems such as poverty and gender inequality which are intertwined with people's views on marriage, sexuality and morality according to religion and tradition. In this regard, the practice of child marriage must be understood in various fields such as religious norms on marriage, morality around premarital sex, people's views on gender and the role of children and parenting, which are not all pro-women. The views on child marriage, how child marriage is practiced, the rules and enforcement are different and often contradictory between actors and institutions, however it is girls who suffer the most as a result of the practice of child marriage. This study discusses the government efforts that have been made in protecting women and underage marriages and sees to what extent these actions can eradicate and protect. Abstrak Advokasi untuk mengakhiri pernikahan anak di Indonesia menghadapi perjuangan berat. Praktik perkawinan anak berakar pada masalah struktural yang lebih luas seperti kemiskinan dan ketimpangan gender yang saling terkait dengan pandangan masyarakat tentang perkawinan, seksualitas, dan moralitas menurut agama dan tradisi. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, praktik perkawinan anak harus dipahami dalam berbagai bidang seperti norma agama tentang perkawinan, moralitas seputar seks pranikah, pandangan masyarakat tentang gender serta peran anak dan pola asuh yang tidak semuanya berpihak pada perempuan. Pandangan tentang perkawinan anak, bagaimana perkawinan anak dipraktekkan, peraturan dan penegakannya berbeda-beda dan seringkali kontradiktif antara aktor dan lembaga, namun anak perempuanlah yang paling menderita akibat praktek perkawinan anak. Penelitian ini membahas upaya pemerintah yang telah dilakukan dalam melakukan perlindungan terhadap perempuan dan pernikahan di bawah umur dan melihat sejauh mana tindakan ini dapat meberantas dan melindungi.
