In developing countries, the government faces many problems related to good governance. Also, there is a lack of understanding of good governance innovation. Thus, this study focuses on the local context. In practice, many developing countries take the notion of good governance for granted, therefore it without critical views. This situation leads to the gap between expected outcomes and realization, which cause the sub-optimal implementation of good governance. Of these, the present paper argues that the implementation of good governance innovations by considering the theory or ideology context. The design of this study is a qualitative study through systematic literature review analysis. Two factors are influencing the success of good governance innovations, namely leader and leadership in Javanese culture. The result of this study found that the success of good governance innovation is supported by the existence of leaders and leadership style which conform to Javanese culture and philosophy. In conclusion, the output embodies the notion of good governance; the process is a unique combination of good governance and local wisdom, which is Javanese philosophy.

The literature has repeatedly emphasized that citizen participation is requisite for good governance. Indeed, when citizens participate in various public activities, they can voice their demands, they can invite the government to respond to their demands, and they can keep government accountable. In other words, in the presence of citizen engagement activities, voices can be raised to governments accountable. While the literature has clearly established this link, less is known about the levels of citizen engagement in rural areas in developing countries like Tanzania; precisely areas where good governance is most needed to secure some progress along the developmental path and take the population out of poverty. Using an original dataset comprising of 1,265 respondents, we find that citizen participation in rural Tanzania varies across various types of activities. We also find that that the participation rate for men is higher than that of women and that the participation rate for older people is higher than it is for younger ones. Given the fact that Tanzania’s population is largely youthful, and women are slightly more than men, we recommend for the removal of barriers that women and youths face as far as their civic rights to participate in developmental activities is concerned.

Good governance is inextricably linked with development. That is why any government which is genuinely concerned about good governance makes the issue of development its central focus. However, the governments of many developing countries experience capacity deficit in the area of the requisite institutions, funds and capacity to foster comprehensive socio-economic development. This makes it imperative for the state to engage in collaborative relationship with civil society which can help to fill up the lacuna created by the lack of state institutional and technical capacity. The critical role of civil society in development is aptly appreciated by some donor institutions and western countries which channel their Official Development Assistance (ODA) to developing countries through civil society organisations for effective implementation.  This research therefore, undertakes an analysis of the way and manner which civil society organisations can complement the development efforts of the state. What makes this research crucial is the belief in some quarters that the state and civil society are often mutually conflicting and perpetually locked in zero sum game. However, this paper discovered that both the state and civil society are mutually reinforcing entities and that development is enhanced when there is collaborative efforts, rather than contestation  between them.

Health problems that exist in the community, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia are influenced by two factors, namely physical aspects and non-physical aspects. Physical aspects such as health facilities and treatment of diseases, while the second is non-physical aspects that involve health problems. The construction of health facilities is an effort to fulfill one of the basic rights of the people carried out by the government to provide health facilities that will be used in helping the community to be healthy. So the purpose of this study is to group villages / kelurahan that have health facilities quickly and effectively. Describe the number of villages / kelurahan that have health facilities using the K-Means method, in order to find out whether the constraints faced by the government in grouping villages / kelurahan that have inadequate health facilities based on the provinces in Indonesia, require a long time to group them. It is expected that using this method can produce clustering which is proven to be accurate in the case of the number of villages / kelurahan that have inadequate health facilities based on the provinces in Indonesia.Keywords: Health Facilities, Datamining, K-Means

Various efforts have been made in order to create good governance so that it can lead to professional, productive, and innovative bureaucracy system. Government institutional becomes the main ditch to achieve respectable governance. Innovation will be convenient if government institutions give adequate spaces toward the roles of other stakeholders and community. The government, another stakeholder, and community are supposed to work together to carry and implement innovation programs in all sectors.

In a recent publication of the IIAS entitled The World We Could Win (Fraser-Moleketi, 2005), Professor Werner Jann aptly concluded: ‘The moment when somebody declares the ”end of history” or indeed ”end of discussion”, on the ground that all has been said and all the problems of governance have been resolved, we shall all be in deep trouble’ (pp. 156-7). We have been in some trouble for more than 20 years, precisely on this account. Developing countries, especially, have been victims of one-dimensional thinking which was sold to the world as the definitive answer to public sector reform. The ‘market model’ of governance sought to convert the government to private sector ways and ‘hollow out’ the State. A salient trait of this model was technocratic claims and scientific pretensions. The model, in effect, purported ‘to develop a science of administration with principles of universal validity’ (Heady, 2001: 391). Both in theory and in practice, the outcomes of this mind-set have been very mixed at best. As this article will show, it tried to root its claims in the myth of global convergence. It thus sought to legitimate ‘coercive isophormism’, that is to say solutions imposed on developing countries without any regard to the institutional context and administrative capacity in each particular case. Backed by political clout, the resulting ‘policy transfers’ have arguably contributed to arresting the development of innovative approaches consistent with the culture and needs of the countries concerned. They have exacerbated the problems of corruption, decline of public trust and the erosion of public service.

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.

The effort to put good governance in development in Indonesia is basically not new. Since the Reformation, the transformation of closed government into an open government (inclusive) has begun to be pursued. Highlighting the conflicts in the land sector that tend to strengthen lately, there are some issues that have intensified conflicts in the field, such as the lack of guaranteed land rights in various legal and policy products. In this paper, a descriptive method is considered important in identifying the applicable issue and methodological framework for addressing governance issues in Indonesia. To reduce such agrarian conflicts between farmers and the government, and as an effort to increase farmers' income, all farmers are incorporated into agricultural cooperatives. Agricultural cooperatives are structured down to the National Level. Thus, farmers participate in good access to the marketing of agricultural produce.Keywords:good governance, agrarian conflict, agricultural cooperative
