Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) is an independent state institution, formed based on Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning waqf. The main objective of its establishment is to become a coordinating institution of existing nazhir (waqf managers) in managing and supervising waqf assets and funds. This paper aims to critically analyze the implementation of good governance adapted by the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) in sustaining its waqf fund. A qualitative method approach was employed using primary and secondary sources. The primary data was collected through the interview session with BWI officers, while secondary sources were collected through published regulation and reports, journal papers, and articles. The content analysis approach was adopted to analyze the data gathered from this study. The findings showed that the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) was given huge responsibility by carrying out various functions whether as a motivator, facilitator, regulator and other supporting roles. The huge responsibility and the overlapping functions of the BWI have pros and cons in sustaining its waqf fund. This study is expected to provide the current condition of waqf governance in Indonesia and the sustainability of waqf funds managed by the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI).

AbstractSince 2009, analyses of Iran have stressed the centralizing takeover of the country's economy by a single state institution, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. At the same time, however, Iran's factionalized political elite uniformly advocate for rapid privatization of state-owned enterprises. Underneath this puzzling contradiction is a complex shift of economic ownership away from the state toward a variety of parastatal organizations including banks, cooperatives, pension funds, foundations, and military-linked contractors. The result is not a praetorian monolith but a subcontractor state. This article draws on interviews conducted in Iran during 2009 and 2010, primary data from parliamentary and governmental reports, and secondary sources to show how intraelite conflict and nonelite claims have structured the process of privatization. Framed comparatively with privatization outcomes in other middle-income countries, Iran's subcontractor state can be seen as a consequence of the way in which politics and society shaped the form of capitalism that has taken root in the Islamic Republic.

This study is an analysis of the nature and pattern of intra-party conflict in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic with specific reference to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Intra-party conflict has been the norm in Nigerian politics leading to crises, setback and failure of many parties to forge ahead for proper democratisation in Nigeria including the ruling parties in many instances. The problem is the way in which intra-party conflict is becoming the bane of democratisation and good governance in Nigeria for many decades and despite the previous experiences, the phenomenon continued unabated. The study investigated the new dimension of intra-party conflict in Nigeria taking the All Progressives Congress as the case study. The study used a qualitative method of data collection and analysis. Primary and secondary sources of data were used. The primary data involved an in-depth interview with some selected informants from the relevant institutions and agencies related to the APC and the crises such as the national party executives, senior officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and academicians that are experts in the area of study. The secondary sources include books, journals, newspapers, internets and other documented materials. The data obtained were discussed using content analysis where thematic analytical interpretations were used in the discussions. The research discovered that, the intra-party conflict under the APC has taken a new dimension where the members of the ruling party constituted an opposition and a stumbling block for the party’s progress and governance. The work recommends that intra-party conflict of APC and other Nigerian political parties can be resolved through constitutional reforms, institutionalisation of party ideology and principles and strict sanctions from the national leaders of the party.

 Responding to demands from a group of parties to formalize Islamic law, the Counter Legal Draft Compilation of Islamic Law (CLD KHI) team has compiled a pluralist, democratic, humanist, and gender fair Islamic law text.This manuscript reaps pros and cons during society because it is considered not in line with the values contained in the Qur’an and hadith.Because of the discrepancy between the opinions of most jurists in general with the contents of the CLD-KHI, of course, it will result in the absence of legal certainty in the future. The object of this research is only focused on the concept of walimujbir. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, data is collected openly according to what is obtained from primary and secondary sources. The results of this study indicate that the presence of a guardian in a marriage is positioned as a pillar of Marriage. In contrast, in the CLD-KHI formulation, a guardian is not required in a marriage. The formulation of Islamic family law reform offered by CLD-KHI is based solely on public logic, local wisdom, and on several perspectives such as democracy, pluralism, human rights, justice, gender equality, and western ideology. In matters of marriage, especially regarding guardians of mujbir, the ideas of CLD-KHI are different and even contradict the common understanding of principles of Islamic teachings and practices.
