The communal dynamics of the Aegean islands and the relationship of the islanders with their civil and religious leaders and the relationship between communal leaders and local and central authorities have yet to be told. Studies in the Ottoman-Turkish historiography, generally following a monolithic approach, focused on primarily on Muslim ayans, whereas ignored their non-Muslim counterparts (kocabaşı). In the present literature, kocabaşıs were regarded as equals of ayans and as intermediaries between local people and central government and other Ottoman authorities. However, the economic, political and social conditions under which the non-Muslim counterparts of ayans -kocabaşıs- gained influence and power over local people in different regions of the Empire are not explored well yet. This paper, focuses on the role of the kocabaşıs in the island society and the relationship between kocabaşıs and islanders, and central government. Understanding the relationship among civil, religious local leaders and the Ottoman central authority will provide a better understanding of dynamics of power in the Aegean islands and help to answer the question how the local people were treated by their coreligionist local leaders and Muslim Ottoman authorities, both local and central.

Adanya desentralisasi fiskal diharapkan dapat menciptakan kemandirian daerah dan dapat mengurangi ketergantungan pemerintah daerah terhadap pemerintah pusat. Kemandirian keuangan daerah dicerminkan dengan perbandingan besarnya PAD terhadap total pendapatan daerah. Sejak 10 tahun dilaksanakannya otonomi daerah sesuai UU No 32 Tahun 2004, kemandirian keuangan daerah di Provinsi Jawa Tengah masih berada di level yang kurang baik dibandingkan dengan provinsi lainnya di Pulau Jawa. Jumlah pengangguran dan jumlah penduduk miskin di Provinsi Jawa Tengah juga masih terhitung tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan dari tingkat kemandirian keuangan daerah dan tingkat ketergantungan daerah terhadap tingkat pengangguran dan tingkat kemiskinan di kabupaten/kota Provinsi Jawa Tengah Tahun 2013. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Analisis Korelasi Kanonikal menggunakan bantuan program SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemandirian keuangan daerah mempunyi hubungan yang signifikan, kuat, dan tidak searah dengan pengangguran dan kemiskinan. Sedangkan hubungan antara ketergantungan daerah terhadap kemiskinan dan pengangguran mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan, tidak kuat, dan tidak searah. Peningkatan kemandirian keuangan daerah guna mengurangi tingkat ketergantungan terhadap pemerintah pusat dapat dilakukan dengan cara menggali dan mengelola sumber daya atau potensi daerah yang dimilikinya secara efektif dan efisien sebagai sumber utama pendapatan keuangan daerahnya.

An inevitability that natural disasters such as earthquakes will be perceived differently by different individuals within a community, some may perceive earthquakes as a natural occurrence plain and others perceive in transcendental meaning (the relationship of creatures and their Lord), namely the relationship causality between human behavior on the one hand as the cause and the punishment of God through the natural disaster on the other side as a result. This study aims to (1) determine how the perception of Gili Trawangan people to the cause of earthquake that has ever happened, (2) to determine the factors that affect the perception of Gili Trawangan people to the cause of earthquake.

The transformation of local leadership in Bali has implications for the emergence of various phenomena of the relationship of desa dinas (the official administrative village) and desa adat (the customary village) which both have autonomous rights. The authority of desa adat and desa dinas coincides with each other. With these conditions, various potential conflicts, poor communication patterns, and overlapping authority are very likely to occur at the local level. In this study, several issues will be discussed, namely: What is the model and process of transformation in local leadership especially in desa adat in Bali? What is the process and form of negaranisasi in local leadership especially in desa adat in Bali? What are the competencies and roles of local leaders in the local leadership process in Bali? What are the roots, the causes and solutions in handling horizontal conflicts in local leadership in Bali? Data were collected by interview, documentation and focus group discussion method to obtain sufficient data variance and validity. Furthermore, the data were analyzed qualitatively using interactive models from Miles and Huberman. The results of the study can be described, that the synergy of two (2) types of local leadership is needed. The capacity and competence of village officials and prajuru adat (customary officials) are obliged to be enhanced, strengthened and empowered, so that they are able to adapt in handling various problems that arise in rural communities in the era of modernization and globalization. For this reason, it is needed to build a synergic relationship model and leadership coordination system between desa dinas and desa adat, a model for developing the capacity and competency of village officials and prajuru adat, and developing a model for handling conflicts that have increasingly intense.

Focusing on the specifics of the Scottish context, the analysis centres on the work of Salis Daiches in relation to the discussion about the relationship between London and the provinces. The Chief Rabbi’s authority was not so tangible in this northernmost nation and the need to keep alive his hegemony in all halakhic matters was a prominent concern in Hertz’s dealings with Daiches and Jewish religious leaders in Glasgow. Daiches was the best educated rabbi in Scotland at the time, was trusted by the Chief Rabbi, which, alongside his public profile as a representative of Jews and Judaism to non-Jewish society, placed him in a prominent position in the Scottish Jewish communities. The chapter argues that Daiches’s ambition for leadership in Scotland was useful to the Chief Rabbi whose authority was upheld through Daiches, while it resulted in tension with Jewish leaders in Glasgow. Daiches’s own clashes with the Chief Rabbi meant that his career did not flourish the way in which he had hoped. Daiches died in Edinburgh in 1945, broken by the murder of his fellow Jews in Europe, and the impossibility of the synthesis of Jewish and secular culture he had championed all his life.

This study aims to analyze and find the ideal legal design of the relationship of authority between the central and regional governments in order to strengthen synergy in public services. In essence, the granting of autonomy to the regions is directed at accelerating the realization of public welfare, through the implementation of government affairs. Concurrent government affairs as stipulated in Law no. 23/2014, is a governmental affair that is divided between the central government, provincial government and district/city governments. In practice, when problems occur in the implementation of concurrent affairs which fall under the central authority, the regional government is in a powerless position. This research uses normative legal research methods with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. The results of this study indicate that: the absence of a legal instrument that accommodates and bridges central and regional authorities causes problems that occur in the community to continue and do not immediately find solutions. It is necessary to have legal instruments in the form of government regula-tions in bridging the authority of the central and regional governments to build synergy in public services, especially to resolve conflicts that occur in society so that government administration can run effectively.

The concept of the relationship of authority between central and local governments within the unitary state of Indonesia in the context of the widest possible autonomy based on the Constitution of 1945. Whereas, the Republic of Indonesia as a state of law is based on constitutional system so that in every action of law concerning the concept of the relationship between central and local authorities should be established through legislation, whereas in juridical manner of authority is a right and legal authority of government. So, in the concept of the legal state (rechtstaat) all of government action that came from their authority should be based on legality principle. Therefore, the authority which is one form of power has legitimacy (validity), which will be the relationship that authority has a legitimate power. In the legislation related of the division of authority between central government and local government that regulated in Law Number 23 of 2014 on local government is clearly not reflect autonomy broad. Keywords:Authority, Local Government, Autonomy

This entry examines the relationship of religion and politics in Africa in the context of Democratization over time, with particular focus on the roles of religious leaders. Two main issues form its focus. The first is the relationship of senior religious figures to the state in Africa and the role of the former in the region’s recent attempts to democratize in the 1980s and 1990s. The second aim is to examine a more recent development: Islamic militancy in Africa in the 2000s, and its relationship with politics, political change, and democratization. During the 1980s and 1990s Africa experienced something it had not seen for decades: widespread popular calls for democratization, part of a wider package of demands for improved economic and political, including human, rights. Demands for democratization had both domestic and external roots. Domestically, demands for reform reflected an awakening—or reawakening—of an often long dormant political voice for various civil society groups, with trade union officials, higher education students, businesspeople, civil servants, and religious (mostly Christian) figures initially leading and coordinating popular demands for reform. Professional politicians later made such demands integral parts of their programs for election. The widespread expectation was that popular efforts would force long-entrenched, often venal governments from office. A second factor was that Africa’s democratization was the ‘road map’ for political change preferred by key external actors: Western governments who provided Africa with the bulk of its foreign aid. In sum, demands for democratization in Africa in the 1980s and 1990s are best explained through the interaction of domestic and international factors, with the former of most importance. During the 1980s and 1990s, religious figures, notably Christian leaders, added their voices to the clamor for fundamental political changes in Africa. Leading Catholics were frequently involved in national conferences on the political way forward in a number of French-speaking, mainly Christian, countries, including Congo-Brazzaville, Togo, Gabon, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), and Chad. In addition, in South Africa, apartheid rule came to an end in 1994 and a democratically elected government followed. And in Muslim-majority Niger and Mali new political leaders and democratically elected governments emerged. In sum, during the 1980s and 1990s involvement of religious leaders, including Catholic leaders in national democracy conferences and other means of democratization, reflected the fact that many religious figures became convinced of the need for democratically elected government in Africa.
