According to Law Number 23 of 2014 and Law Number 6 of 2014 the model of regional government returned to the traditional conservative centralized model. This model is not in accordance with the model of local government initiated by the founding fathers and norms of Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution and norms of Article 18, 18A and 18B of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (after amendment). According to this problem, text research is conducted. The purpose of this study is to compare the models of local governance practiced since the colonial era until now with the model of local government conceived by the founding fathers and the 1945 Constitution. This research is a normative research with content analysis method. The result of the research is that the current system of local government deviates from the founding father conception (Muhammad Yamin, R. Soepomo, and Mohammad Hatta) and the 1945 Constitution.

Public Policy Making

This article is taken from the research to study local democracy dynamic in regional autonomy transition, especially after the enactment of Law No. 32 of 2004 concerning on Regional Government and Law No 10 of 2004 concerning on Legislation Making. These laws have influenced the process of public policy making at field. This research analyse the implementation the word ’berhak’ (right to) as stipulated under article 53 of Law No. 10 of 2004. From this point of view, this continues by mapping the development strategy in making legislation at regional level, mainly by searching to what extend public participation processes would contribute at that level. In local political context, the research aims to study how political participation at local level fully involves citizen to take decision, especially connected to: First, economic democracy which is a participatory magement all citizen in productive assets and collective property rights. Second, politic pluralism democracy which is an understanding and sensitivity over pluralistic and locality aspects of the needs and aspirations any citizen in public policy making. The research method uses a non-doctrinal legal research, especially by emplying sociology of law and political economy of law. The result is written in descriptive-analytic model. The research only limits on the development of public participatory method, so then it would have critical points in reforming law and institution, especially to guarantee public participation rights. The recommendations are: First, the needs of key action and more participative for reforming all policies at regional level, by emphasizing through (1) state institution reconstruction which more guarantees citizen political participation; (2) the shifting from ‘top-down’ to ‘bottom up’ processes; (3) the empowerment of people (capacity building) and local institutional strengthening. Second, strengthening legal framework for public participation, either at legislation or regulation levels. The public participation initiative through regional regulation or to improve parliament mechanism order are important to develop public participation methods in local regulation making. Furthermore, The research needs to be followed up by studying deeply about how the legal framework to secure better should be formulated, especialy in responding public participation, either better procedural control or substantial control from public. This research contributes partly in providing possible models and [legal] formulations which are more responsive to the people needs and justice, also to strengthen democratization processes in local governance system.Keywords : Public Participations, Local Autonomy, Local Regulations

Stakeholder Integration

This paper presents a case study of a transdisciplinary scenario planning workshop that was designed to link global challenges to local governance. The workshop was held to improve stakeholder integration and explore scenarios for a regional planning project (to 2050) in Blekinge, Sweden. Scenario planning and transdisciplinary practices are often disregarded by practitioners due to the perception of onerous resource requirements, however, this paper describes a ‘rapid scenario planning’ process that was designed to be agile and time-efficient, requiring the 43 participants from 13 stakeholder organizations to gather only for one day. The process was designed to create an environment whereby stakeholders could learn from, and with, each other and use their expert knowledge to inform the scenario process. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) was used to structure and focus the scenario planning exercise and its subsequent recommendations. The process was evaluated through a workshop participant survey and post-workshop evaluative interview with the regional government project manager to indicate the effectiveness of the approach. The paper closes with a summary of findings which will support those wishing to conduct similar rapid scenario planning exercises to inform policy planning for complex systems.

This article examines the interaction between the representatives of Bolsheviks and Left Social Revolutionaries in the regional government branches during the first half of 1918. The subject of this research is the ideological conflicts that emerged between the members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Left Social Revolutionaries in their joint activity. Considerable attention is given to classification of the ideological conflicts, as well as to identification of their causes and consequences for interaction of the representatives of both parties on the local level. These conflicts were an integral part of the Soviet bipartite system. Their manifestation began since dissolution of the government coalition of Bolsheviks and Left Social Revolutionaries. Based on the analysis of archival documents and published sources, the author describes the interaction between Bolsheviks and Left Social Revolutionaries in the local soviets. The novelty consists in classification of the conflicts between Bolsheviks and Left Social Revolutionaries, as well as in introduction into the scientific discourse of certain archival documents. The conclusion is made that despite the joint activity of the two parties aimed at strengthening of the Soviet regime, the ideological conflicts demonstrated a different perspective of Bolsheviks and Left Social Revolutionaries upon the political course of the country, as well as the methods of local governance. The escalating antagonism between the two Soviet parties eventually led to instability in the bipartite system and its collapse.

The Ideal

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaturan tentang pemerintahan daerah terkait dengan asas desentralisasi asimetris sehingga lebih leluasa mengurus rumah tangga sendiri. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian konseptual berupaya menemukan konsep-konsep hubungan pusat dan daerah menurut UUDNRI Tahun 1945. Berdasarkan hasil pembahasan yang ada, hasil penelitian ini sebagai berikut: pertama, konsep desentralisasi asimetris ini sudah lama dicari formatnya karena amanah konstitusi perlu interpretasi lebih jauh sehingga benar-benar menemukan konsep ideal bagi Pemerintah Indonesia. Kedua, kehadiran Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintah Daerah memang sudah menggunakan prinsip otonomi seluas-luasnya sehingga ada keluasaan untuk mengatur daerahnya sendiri. Namun peneliti berupaya mencari format baru, yang peneliti tawarkan ialah desentralisasi asimetris bagi semua daerah Indonesia walaupun hal ini terkesan sulit namun hal itu apabila dilakukan secara bersama maka akan mudah untuk dilaksanakan. Ketiga, terkait desentralisasi asimetris untuk Indonesia ini sudah diterapkan terhadap empat daerah yakni DKI Jakarta, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Aceh dan Papua namun ke depan Indonesia akan dengan mudah melakukan perubahan lagi terhadap Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintah Daerah. Keempat, terkait dengan kewenangan daerah yang nanti menjadi sangat luas tentunya metode pengawasan akan jauh lebih diperketat dari pada sebelumnya karena desentralisasi memperkenankan ke level kekuasaan pemerintahan yang lebih rendah atau di bawah untuk menentukan sejumlah isu yang langsung mereka perhatikan.This study aims to understand the local governance arrangements in relate to asymmetric decentralization principles which allows them to take care of their own concerns more freely. This study is a conceptual attempt to discover the concepts of central-region relations by The 1945 Constitution of Republic of Indonesia. Based on the discussions available, the results of this study are: first, the concept of asymmetric decentralization has long been sought for its format as a constitutional mandate needs further interpretation to find the ideal concept for the Government of Indonesia; second, the presence of the Law no. 23 year 2014 about Regional Government has already used the principle of broad autonomy so there are discretions to manage their own regions. Yet, the researcher is willing to find a new format, in this case is asymmetric decentralization to all areas of Indonesia. Although it seems difficult to implement, in fact it can be easier to be applied together; third, asymmetric decentralization in Indonesia has actually been implemented to four regions (Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Aceh, and Papua), but the researcher is expecting more that in the future Indonesia will be easily made further changes to the Law no. 23 year 2014 about Regional Government; fourth, related to the regional authority which will be more comprehensive, the monitoring methods will automatically be much tighter than before. That is because decentralization allows lower government power level to determine the issues they directly notice.
