Abstract Purpose: This study aims to determine and analyze the development of growth centers and hinterland areas in Bangka Regency, Indonesia. Research Methodology: The analytical methods used are scalogram analysis, centrality index, gravity analysis, and GIS (Geographic Information System) methods. The type of data is quantitative data. The data source is secondarily obtained from BPS of Bangka Regency. Results: The results of the scalogram analysis and centrality index showed that Sungailiat District had the first order as the center of growth. The other seven districts, namely Belinyu, Merawang, Mendo Barat, Pemali, Riau Silip, Puding Besar, and Bakam are hinterland areas. Sungailiat District as the growth center has the strongest interaction value with the hinterland area, namely Pemali District, and the weakest interaction value with Bakam District. Limitations: This research uses the descriptive quantitative approach in its calculations using simple mathematical calculations. Further research is needed to find out how much influence it has on the region. Contributions: This study is to provide alternative inputs to the government of the Bangka Regency in formulating policy planning and decision-making regarding growth centers and hinterland areas.

In the years 1975-1976 the Belgian government has given high priority to the restructuring of local government, resp. by the means of mergers of communes : the number of communes has decreased by that way from 2,359 to 596.In the decision-making emphasized were the initiatives taken by the Minister of the Interior as wel! on the domain of the elaboration of the proposals to delimitate the territory of the new communes as on the domain of the defining of the terms of execution with regard to the personnel, the finances, the transition of goods, etc.  About the proposals on the delimitation of the territory the local governmentscould only give advice ; they have been sanctioned by the legislative assemblees at the end of 1975 after rather difficult and heated debates.During this period an important resistance developed : on the one side from the communal milieu itself and on the other side from the opposition parties, esp. the Belgian Socialist Party not participating in the government that had made the drawing of the new map of communes according to a broad plan to its aim.Nevertheless, the decision-making also has to be seen from the fact that the opposition parties agreed with the principle of the mergers : they mainly contested the way in which the mergers were executed.The abolition of the federations of communes around the Brussels agglomeration, decided in the same context, has to be seen in the light of the typical Belgian problem of the coexistence of different linguistic groups.

A trustworthy government is one that keeps its promises (or has exceptionally good reasons why it fails to), is relatively fair in its decision-making and enforcement processes, and delivers goods and services. A legitimate government is one that appeals to widely accepted justifications for its selection, maintenance, and policies. Investigations across history and countries reveal that the more trustworthy the government, the more likely it is to evoke observation of its laws and acquiescence to policies. Less clear is the link between perceptions that government is trustworthy and beliefs that it is legitimate, at least in countries claiming or trying to be democratic. Being trustworthy in practices and outcomes may contribute to perceptions of government legitimacy. However, trustworthiness is, at best, a necessary but not sufficient condition for legitimating beliefs. This chapter explores the relationship between the trustworthiness of government and its legitimacy by considering cases from both advanced democracies and state-building efforts. It argues that current democracies may need to refashion their moral economies—the extra-market reciprocal rights and obligations that link populations, governments, corporations, and all the other various organizations that make up the society—if they are to reestablish strong grounds for legitimacy.

As the last country in Europe to overthrow the communist regime, Albania has much to achieve in the legal system to build a full democracy. A government should be relied upon to create the necessary reforms to move a country out of transition. The governmental structure can either accelerate or prevent the country’s transition towards a market economy. The other pillar of society that reflects institutional performance is the country’s citizens. Trust is a factor that connects citizens with institutions. The main purpose of this research is to identify causes for citizens to lose their confidence in public institutions. The analysis, supported by quantitative data, aims to show the level of trust that citizens bestow to the most important Albanian public institutions. An Institution for Democracy and Mediation poll and this study’s results of meetings with focus groups were used to illustrate the public’s confidence in the governmental institutions, and to explore the causes of the citizen’s attitude towards the public institutions and their service in Albania.

The sample in this study was cosmetic companies listed on the Main Board of the Indonesia Stock Exchange as many as 4 companies. The data source used is secondary data taking data from the IDX, the type of data used is quantitative data. The result of this research is bankruptcy prediction using the Altman-Z Score method showing that PT. Martino Berto, Tbk for 2016 is included in the Gray Area category while in 2017-2018 it is predicted to go bankrupt while for PT. Mustika Ratu, in 2016 - 2018 entered the Gray Area category while the other two companies namely PT. Mandom Indonesia, Tbk and PT. Unilever, Tbk from 2016 to 2018 is predicted not to go bankrupt. Meanwhile, using the Zmijewski method in cosmetics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2016-2018 is predicted not to go bankrupt. From the comparison between the Altman Z-Score model and the Zmijewski model, the Zmijewski model has an effectiveness of 100% compared to the Altman Z-Score model which has an effectiveness level of 50%.

To support the development of lagging areas (border areas), the Government of Indonesia has encouraged urban areas in the border to become strategic areas with certain development priorities. These specified areas could become a growth center for "transferring" the development outputs to the other areas. One of the border regency in West Kalimantan Province is Sambas Regency. There are two categories of "strategic areas" in this regency, that is Sambas District (the regency’s capital city) as a tourism strategic area, and border area (Temajuk and Aruk) as the National Strategic Activities Center. Expectedly, these two strategic areas could interact more balanced and equally in regional development. This research deals with preliminary exploration which aims to identify the tendency of regional interaction in the strategic areas. Interaction is considerably important for the lagging areas in the border to  distribute development outputs from other areas. This study applies the principle approach of network analysis by using different network types such as technical networks (infrastructure), transactional networks, and social networks. The results show that the interaction between developed and lagging areas has not been optimal yet. Sambas District is more attracted to the south closing to the provincial capital city while the border areas more attached to neighboring countries as well as other advanced (internal) areas next to the border.

Well-established results in the mainstream theory of economic policy show that under assessable risk and asymmetric information, selfish policymakers generate inefficiencies that are generally more harmful than market ones. Market failures are hence an insufficient condition to justify government activism. This conclusion motivates the article’s attempt to understand whether the same conclusion applies under fundamental uncertainty, where selfish policymakers cannot be conceived as maximising inter-temporal expected utility (or any other objective function) calculated by the use of objective probability distributions. After summarising the traditional literature, I stress the difficulty of employing the notion of Pareto optimality in this environment. I then argue that group decision-making and mutual monitoring support <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT0039">Forte’s (1967)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT0029">Demsetz’s (1969)</xref> early claims that no superiority of one institution (market versus government) over the other can a priori be established. The conclusion that the government cannot generally improve on market outcomes does not hence apply.

This chapter sketches the long-standing collision between traditional philosophical conceptions of liberty and equality, how campaign finance jurisprudence exemplifies this collision, and how the new principle of distributive autonomy avoids this collision. Distributive autonomy aims to achieve some congruence, fusion—perhaps even some synthesis—between the core constitutional values of liberty and equality in the touchy realm of first-order rights. Elections comprehend and profoundly shape autonomy, democracy, and distribution of power and wealth. Political campaigns erect the government, and government passes laws that routinely infringe on the autonomy of some and enhance that of others. Laws affect such first-order rights as political influence, privacy, and freedom from imprisonment, and lower-order rights involving the distribution of wealth and other matters. By permitting individuals to spend vast sums to influence political campaigns, the campaign finance cases shifted the entire paradigm of American democracy from decision-making based on participatory democracy to decision-making driven by donations.

In the era of the Information Technology-enabled society, heavy investment is not an afterthought of government. As there is a demand from both sides of the government system, i.e. citizenry and the government resulted in an increase of these projects at a rapid pace. On one hand, the government is increasing the investment but the time has come to show the justification of these investments. On the other hand, available literature is limited and hardly any concrete steps have been taken to investigate the justification and return on investment of these projects, as most of the returns are qualitative in nature. So, there is need for investigation into the issue. In this article, an attempt has been made to consolidate available literature, compare and justify using a multiciteria decision making tool, i.e. AHP and finally, a case discussion on e-governance in the education system of India.
