Civil society is one of the three important sectors of society, along with government and business. Civil society is one of the important elements of the democratization process in Indonesia. In accordance with the problems formulated above, the purposes of this discussion are to find out the description of civil society in Indonesia, and to find out efforts to strengthen civil society as a logical consequence of the realization of Good Governance in Indonesia. The development of civil society involves all aspects and dimensions of life. Therefore, efforts and commitment are needed to strengthen the community. Cooperation is needed because no party, organization, institution or anything even the government can carry it out alone. The relationship between civil society and good governance is symmetrical between the two. This is because the two concepts were born from the concept of democracy that upholds the values of justice, freedom, individual and group rights. Furthermore, democracy requires the state in carrying out its activities to be open to the public. Strengthening civil society in the flow of democracy must be realized as an absolute necessity for the implementation of a 'strong' and 'clean' government. The weakness of civil society in Indonesia is marked by widespread rejections of state/government policies by the people and these rejections have not received a meaningful response from the state/government. In the process of determining policies, the government bureaucracy still feels that citizens are used as objects of policy. This kind of narrow view will make the government anti-suggestions from citizens in determining policies.

Relevance thought Raja Ali Haji to the governance system in Indonesia today, among others, can be seen from the criteria of an ideal leader: first, fulfill the requirements according to Islamic law, namely; Muslim, male, puberty, intelligent, fair/ not wicked (consistent in implementing the rules of Islam), able to carry out the mandate and leadership. Second, the power to make the country independent/ self-reliant. Third, make the security of Muslims in this country is the security of Islam. Fourth, implement Islam simultaneously and comprehensively. Fifth, preventing disintegration and unify the territories of Muslims that have crumbled, not only in Indonesia, but in the whole world, so that Muslims are strong and united in one force. Seeing the condition of the state government system in Indonesia at this time, although different from the form of government desired by Raja Ali Haji is sufficient in accordance with expectations, if we refer to the leaders elected to run the government, ie those who have been entrusted by the people as leaders. Elected leaders are expected to voice their concerns, so that the well-being and comfort can be felt. It is true there is no doubt that the concept of rule by Raja Ali Haji, there are some that do not conform with the concept of governance in Indonesia. Because, in Indonesia, although the majority of the population are Muslims, but also non-Islamic religions grow and develop properly in the spirit of tolerance is high. While the concept of rule by Raja Ali Haji ideal is based on Shari'ah. If this is implemented, the existence of discrimination against other religions.

It is proposed that government, being the tangible expression of the legitimate authority within an organised society, has undegone a long transformational journey since its very emergence. The various evolutionary forms and features of the government have been the product of its meaningful and viable responses to the changing expectations of the people as well as to the challenges they faced in an ever-changing environment. The exclusive domain of the state over the period became a shared space with inclusion of other actors and stakeholders, and an era of governance was ushered in since the 1980s. The much celebrated success of the liberal democracy and its market-led open economy heralded as an era of good governance. However, the universal model of good governance fails to take into account the local constraints of a society. Thus, the idea of good governance has to face various types of challenges in the developing as well as underdeveloped societies.

AbstractFrom a regulatory perspective, philanthropy in China has been officially modernized. Since the government established a legal framework in 2004 based on models from overseas, the number of private foundations in China has grown more than six-fold. Drawing on a nationally representative survey of 214 private foundations conducted in 2012, we present a landscape view of these new philanthropic institutions, discussing both who begins foundations and how their monies are used. We find that despite the rise of new private wealth in China and the adoption of the private foundation form, government priorities are structuring the field of Chinese philanthropy in key and consequential ways. We conclude with some considerations of the implications of these findings for the development of broader civil society.

The state has a central place in the political system. Through its structure and positioning the country has the strength to be a unifier of society against its overall division of the various classes and layers, ethnic, cultural and other groups. The legitimacy of all these processes is given by laws that determine the trajectory of all processes and the conditions under which the processes take place. The state, by adopting the highest legal acts such as: the constitution and the laws, achieves one of its most important functions, which is the management of society. The state directs society to promote development, but also punishes and sanction infringements and mistakes. Depending on who exercises power in the state, i.e. whether it belongs to the people, to an individual or to a powerful group, the political system can be determined. The political system in itself includes the overall state relations, the relations in society and the guidelines for the conduct of the policy of the state. A state in which the government is elected by the people through direct elections certainly fulfills the basic requirement for the development of a stable civil society. The political system is one of the sub-systems of the entire civil society. The political system is specific in that all the activities and relations of which it is composed are directed to the state and its functions. The structure of the political system is composed of political and legal norms, political knowledge, political culture and political structure. These elements confirm the strong relationship between the state, the law and the political system. Developed democratic societies can talk about a developed political system that abounds with political culture and democracy. It is the aspiration of our life. Investing in democratic societies we invest in the future of our children. If we separate the subjects of the political system, we will determine that the people are the basis of the political system. All competencies intertwine around people. Political systems are largely dependent not only on the political processes that take place in them every day, but also on the economic performance and the economic power of the states. Economic stagnation or regression in some countries often threatens democracy and its values. We often forget that we cannot speak of the existence of a functioning and well-organized democratic political system without its strong economic support. In conditions of globalization, it is necessary to pay special attention to international positions as the main factor of the political system, for the simple reason that the functions of the state in this process are increasingly narrowing.

Public services in recent years become a central issue has forced all parties, both state and public institutions to perform again in its implementation regulations. Although the provision of public services is an obligation that must be done by the government as the organizer of the state. However, the obligation to provide such services are still not able to give satisfaction to the user community. To realize good governance requires the synergistic partnership between agencies both within and outside the government bureaucracy. The agencies include the private sector and civil society. Partnerships must be built in an environment that is transparent, which is built with good communication, especially in any decision-making. This meant that the policies are formulated to meet the expectations of society. Thus, the partnership between government, communities and businesses are expected to promote the establishment of governance, development and public services more democratic and more professional.Pelayanan publik dalam beberapa tahun terakhir menjadi isu sentral telah memaksa semua pihak, baik negara dan lembaga publik untuk tampil lagi dalam peraturan pelaksanaannya. Meskipun pelayanan publik adalah kewajiban yang harus dilakukan oleh pemerintah sebagai penyelenggara negara. Namun, kewajiban untuk menyediakan layanan tersebut masih belum mampu memberikan kepuasan kepada masyarakat pengguna. Untuk mewujudkan tata pemerintahan yang baik membutuhkan kemitraan sinergis antara lembaga baik di dalam dan di luar birokrasi pemerintah. Badan-badan termasuk sektor swasta dan masyarakat sipil. Kemitraan harus dibangun dalam lingkungan yang transparan, yang dibangun dengan komunikasi yang baik, terutama dalam pengambilan keputusan. Ini berarti bahwa kebijakan yang diformulasikan untuk memenuhi harapan masyarakat. Dengan demikian, kemitraan antara pemerintah, masyarakat dan bisnis diharapkan untuk mendorong terwujudnya pelayanan pemerintahan, pembangunan dan publik yang lebih demokratis dan lebih profesional.

Public trust in government is crucial for good governance, encompassing economic and social development of the region in a representative democratic setup. This study uses India Human Development Survey (2004–2005 and 2011–2012) data to examine the changing pattern of household confidence in state governments in India. Using a logit model analysis, we examine how the level of household confidence in the state government changes with households’ socioeconomic status, personal experiences, and benefits received from government programs and direct social benefit schemes. We find that households with a low socioeconomic status (such as Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, and low-income and less educated households) are more likely to trust the state government. In addition, households that have had a positive experience or have received benefits from a government program and/or social scheme are more likely to exhibit high levels of trust in the state government. We also find that residents of less developed states are more likely to have high levels of trust in their state government than residents of highly developed states.

The Welfare State

The research entitled "Implementation of the Government's Discretionary Authority and Accountability in the Administration of Government" has five problem formulations. First, how is the implementation of discretionary authority in the administration of Government? Second, there are obstacles in the exercise of discretionary authority. The third is how to overcome obstacles. Fourth, the limits of discretion in decision making. Fifth, Government Instruments. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the five problem formulations above. This research is qualitative descriptive The results of this study indicate that the exercise of discretionary authority in the administration of Government is a logical consequence of the welfare state where the welfare state government is a state power that is given the task and responsibility for the welfare of its citizens. In contrast, discretionary authority does not mean that it can be used freely. However, it must follow the rules written in Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning Good Governance and Principles of Good Governance (AAUPB). The implementation of discretionary authority in the administration of Government also has several obstacles that cause the Government to be less efficient and less effective. Efforts to overcome these obstacles are not easy because they must involve all parties, namely legislative power, executive power, and judicial power. This is also, of course, requires the role of citizens. These things are to ensure the implementation of discretionary authority in the administration of Government so that it is efficient and effective in realizing people's welfare.

This chapter highlights Dr Singhvi’s views about small states particularly the state of Uttranchal (now Uttarakhand). He states that the newly formed small states would bring good governance in the country as the elected government would be in a better position to administer the government machinery as per the people’s needs. There is no doubt that the idea of smaller states represents a sensitive response to the issue of cultural, linguistic, and developmental identities. A small state can relate and respond to the people and their demands more effectively. The size of a state is obviously an important factor in the efficiency of administration and in the redress of public grievances.

This chapter discusses the colored vote in the South, presenting the reason for the sanguinary revolution which resulted in the overthrow of the Republican state government in the state of Mississippi in 1875. What was true of Mississippi at that time was largely true of the other reconstructed states where similar results subsequently followed. When the War of the Rebellion came to an end, it was believed by some and apprehended by others that serious and radical changes in the previous order of things would necessarily follow. But when what was known as the Johnson plan of reconstruction was disclosed, it was soon made plain that if that plan should be accepted by the country no material change would follow, for the reason, chiefly, that the abolition of slavery would have been only in name. It was the rejection of the Johnson plan of reconstruction that upset these plans and destroyed these calculations. The Johnson plan was not only rejected, but what was known as the congressional plan of reconstruction, by which suffrage was conferred upon the colored men in all the states that were to be reconstructed, was accepted by the people of the North as the permanent policy of the government and thus made the basis of reconstruction and readmission of those states into the Union.
