Dampak dari arus globalisasi yang sedemikian kuat, sudah seharusnya diantisipasi sebaik mungkin. Dimana administrasi publik dengan nilai-nilai modernitas model barat (western) yang berkembang saat ini, terkadang membuat kita silau akan kemajuan sehingga melupakan identitas nilai-nilai kearifan lokal yang kita miliki. Padahal administrasi publik yang beridentitas sesuai dengan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal tak akan kalah hebatnya jika dibanding dengan administrasi publik model barat.

Sebuah pengkajian ulang dan pendeskonstruksian ide, konsep dan teori terhadap Government dan Governance. Thesis utamanya adalah bahwa tidak selamanya praktik administrasi model barat mampu menyelesaikan masalah administrasi publik dan berhasil dilaksanakan diberbagai daerah dalam merespon budaya lokal.Kata Kunci: Administrasi Publik, Kearifan Lokal, Indigenous

This paper aims to highlight the role of applying good governance standards in reducing corruption and achieving sustainable development in Yemen, since good governance represents the core of the development process of countries and societies. Good governance is based on the principle of transparency, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness in order to raise the capacity and efficiency of the state and make it more capable and effective to achieve sustainable development. Corruption in all its forms is one of the biggest obstacles to sustainable development in Yemen, and a major reason for wasting state resources and limiting foreign investment, and thus the expansion of poverty, the poor, and other effects related to the failure to achieve sustainable development. Yemen is one of the most Arab countries facing major challenges in the field of implementing good governance and combating corruption in order to achieve sustainable development and achieve its goals at all political, economic, social and environment. This paper concluded that Yemen suffers from a lack of implementation and enforcement of good governance standards, as well as a rampant corruption, which has led to an expansion of poverty and a significant decline in development rates. Key words: Good Governance, Corruption, Sustainable development.

Since the early 1990s, discourse on ‘good governance’ has become more prevalent. What ‘good governance’ means and entails, however, and when we can speak of ‘good’ governance in this discourse, is not always clear. Many scholars in public administration and other social sciences writing about good governance have used visual interpretations of good governance from centuries ago to illustrate their case in point. Here, we also use pictures from the past – Lorenzetti’s Sienese frescoes to be more precise – yet, not as an illustration, but as the core of the argument. Our main research question is: how can Lorenzetti’s frescoes of Good Governance inspire our modern-day conception of good governance? We conclude that good governance is governance by good governors, and good governors are governors guided by benevolence. We end with a discussion of what that entails for modern-day governance practice. Points for practitioners Governance without integrity violations is not necessarily good governance. Benevolence is needed for that.

Abstract This article presents selected findings on India relating to the effects of international investment agreements (IIAs) on national governance. Our research used ethnography-inspired methods to explore the often-voiced hypothesis that IIAs induce good governance reforms in their state parties. Our findings demonstrate that the good governance hypothesis is too sweeping and lacks subtlety, but they also bring forward new conceptualizations of the impact of the international investment regime on national governance. Our research shows that governance actors use IIAs selectively in order to advance various agendas and interests. The Indian case study shows that rather than acting like a monolith when reacting to the experience of IIAs, the state is instead a site of struggle between different actors with different motivations, agendas, and interests. In such context, IIAs produce various formal–institutional as well as ideological–discursive effects that have not been captured by the existing literature. First, IIAs lead to the simultaneous practices of internalization through external adjustment and internalization through accommodation. At the same time, these modes of internalization lead to rearrangements by internalization within the public administration. Second, governance actors resort to various narratives about IIAs, which we present in this article. Importantly, the deployments of various narratives about IIAs are context-dependent and are used by governance actors tactically as convenient tools in internal political struggles within the public administration. These findings have important consequences for the design and reform of international investment regulation, should such regulation have ambition, as it does, to promote good governance.

The Anthropocene presents formidable governance challenges, not only in terms of the large uncertainties that surround the impact of humans on the biosphere, but also because it is occurring at a time of profound transformations in international politics. This article builds on the recent literature on complex systems and international environmental politics and identifies some of the core elements of thinking about governance in the Anthropocene. After a brief reminder of the characteristics of a complex system and the challenges that this poses to some of the existing doxa, it proceeds with a discussion of key elements of the system, of aspects of its operation, and of the goals that one should pursue in terms of system dynamics. Approaching the governance of the Anthropocene as a complex system allows us to shape much of current research in IR into a coherent whole, as well as identify the contours of a global international governance system of the environment that takes advantage of the dynamics of the system rather than courting failure by attempting to simplify it.

The CAF is the European Common Assessment Framework for better quality in public administration, and it celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2020. The CAF improves public administration through self-assessment by the employees and executives of "their" organisation. The beginning of the CAF dates back to 1998 when the ministers of the European Public Administration Network (EUPAN) commissioned designing "general principles concerning the improvement of the quality of services provided to citizens". The CAF 2020 is the fifth version of the CAF, and it is designed to be the European guideline for good governance and excellence in public sector organisations. In four chapters, this book provides an overview of how the CAF is contributing to transform public administration. About 30 designated CAF experts from academia and practice offer insights into the impact of the CAF in different fields of public sector organisations, reflecting the powerful role of the CAF in navigating through challenging times. Furthermore, this book provides an overview of the institutional status of the CAF in Europe and internationally, and it shows the necessary steps for further strengthening the CAF as the number one tool for transformation and quality in the public sector. As a resumé of the book, it can be stated that the CAF initiates and accompanies the transformation of public administration, especially through: transforming the organisation towards change and organisational development; transforming public administration towards the Sustainable Development Goals; transforming the public sector towards effective governance, multi-level collaboration and comprehensive policy-field-thinking; making public administration and structural reforms successful; and driving states and societies towards European integration and European values.

Management is a business function that provides leadership support to organizations’ resources to realize strategic goals and objectives. While churches are not precisely business organizations tied with specific management practice as requirements including other complex legal requirements such as filing returns and payment of taxes, they engage in activities that require adequate planning and execution if they are to be successful and impact to the church's growth and development. Hence, there is a need for an effective governance system for churches that will ensure efficient and effective utilization of resources and management practices in the growth and development of Churches. This paper, therefore, aims at presenting an analysis of good governance, effective managerial strategies and church structure for church growth and development. This study will employ the use of content analysis of literature as the main components in the study in the areas of effective managerial practices, corporate governance and organizational structure and its impact on Church growth and development. The study will systematically answer various questions under the study which eventually contributes towards the establishment of good governance, effective management and Church Structure on the growth and development of Churches. The study will, therefore, unearth the relationship between good governance, church management and structure on the growth and development of churches. It will further recommend leaders of churches the elements of good governance, management and the structure of their church that have to be taken into consideration in their decision making.

Al Ma'soem pharmacy headquartered at Jl. Horse Race No. 46 Arcamanik Bandung, currently has 17 branches of pharmacies spread across several cities and regencies in West Java, including Bandung, Sumedang, Majalengka, Garut, and Cianjur. Good governance system makes Apotek Al Ma'soem grow and develop rapidly in several cities and districts in West Java. In the sales system has been supported with adequate information technology, so that drug sales services can be done effectively. The method used to assess the supply of drugs in pharmacies is to use the last price method. The impact of the application of the method of inventory value becomes unreal because the price used to assess the inventory is not the actual cost, but the last price entered. Likewise, the gross profit generated by the system becomes unreal because the gross profit generated by the system is not the difference between the selling price and the acquisition price, increment the difference between the selling price and the last price. This will certainly make it difficult for the financial section to calculate and make adjusting entries because there will be differences between cash flow reports with inventory reports, purchases and sales generated by the system.The purpose of this research is to develop inventory system using FIFO (First In First Out) model, which is to assess inventory according to its cost. The goal is to generate inventory reports and real gross sales income, making it easier for the financial section in preparing financial statements and minimize the occurrence of financial fraud. The system development method used is a prototype with the stages of collecting all the needs, building prototyping, prototyping evaluation, encoding the system, testing the system, evaluating the system, and using the system.The development of this system can result in reports of drug supplies and real gross earnings so as to minimize the occurrence of financial fraud resulting from the difference in nominal value of money with the value contained in the report, as well as facilitate and streamline the work of the financial section in loading financial statements.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to create a strong connection among the gender diversity literature in the stream of gender quotas in the international context and the main legislation on gender diversity – the Law 120/2011 “Golfo-Mosca” – in Italy requiring listed companies and companies under the public control to implement policies for increasing board diversity. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a structured literature review method to propose relevant issues on this topic applying an innovative analytical framework based on the “article focus.” Additionally, an interview to a CEO of an Italian Bank has been done. Findings In this step, results seem to underline the prominence of literature analyzing “woman in board of directors” promoting board diversity in the light of good governance. Additionally, this analysis is functional to the proposition of interesting insights from the Golfo-Mosca Law’s analysis in Italy emphasizing primary effects of its application during past seven years. Originality/value Findings of this paper are original, as it is the first time that a research connects results from the structured literature review on gender issues and the related Italian law to draft emerging and thrilling issues in the light of transparent and responsible corporate governance system.

In this article, an analysis is made that highlights the fact that the objective of developing the quality of public administration as a necessary condition for good governance remains relevant for the Republic of Moldova. Despite the fact that the public administration system of the Republic of Moldova has undergone a series of reforms in the last 20 years, its capacity to be at the service of the citizen and to support the economic growth of the country continues to be reduced. Lack of accountability for results, inadequate separation of roles between institutions, weaknesses in the organizational structure, general lack of incentives to attract competent and devoted people in the public sector and a high degree of politicization of public administration determine the poor quality of government. Added to these are issues related to the lack of transparency regarding the Government's ability to implement the recommendations received from organizations such as the World Bank and the IMF or to measure the impact of reform plans.
