Corruption Accusations and Bureaucratic Performance: Evidence from Pakistan

The number of accusations seems to reduce the incidence of bureaucratic corruption.

Birokrasi digital membuka peluang untuk memperbaiki kinerja birokrasi serta membuka kesempatan selebar-lebarnya bagi masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi. Namun ternyata masyarakat Indonesia tidak sepenuhnya siap untuk berpartisipasi dalam birokrasi digital. Hal ini dikarenakan masih saja tampak di beberapa daerah masyarakat yang lebih memilih menggunakan cara konvensional dalam kegiatannya yang berkaitan dengan birokrasi. Padahal pemerintah sedang gencar-gencarnya menginisiasi dan meluncurkan birokrasi digital. Pembahasan dalam artikel ini mencoba melihat bagaimana kondisi kesiapan masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi dalam birokrasi digital, dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif dan menggunakan data sekunder. Dari beberapa faktor yang ada, yang cukup mempengaruhi ketidaksiapan masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi dalam birokrasi digital diantaranya yakni faktor budaya adopsi teknologi yang tidak merata, kualitas SDM yang masih rendah, dan adanya ketimpangan infrastruktur. Untuk menekan semua faktor penghambat partisipasi masyarakat dalam birokrasi digital, penting kiranya untuk memastikan kualitas pendidikan, memperkuat e-literacy, melakukan sosialisasi secara intensif, serta mengusahakan pendistribusian infrastruktur teknologi.Bureaucracy is an important element for a country. The essence of bureaucracy performance is related to fulfilling the desires of the citizen. Digital bureaucracy opens opportunities to improve bureaucratic performance and opens the widest possible opportunity for people to participate. Therefore, citizen participation is needed here. But in fact, the citizen is not truly prepared to participate in the digital bureaucracy because some citizens still use the conventional methods in their activities related to the bureaucracy. Even though the government is intensively initiating a digital bureaucracy, this article discusses how citizens' condition is to participate in the digital bureaucracy using qualitative-descriptive methods and secondary data. Of the several existing factors, the cultural factors of uneven technology adoption, low quality of human resources, and the existence of infrastructure inequality are the factors that influence citizen unpreparedness to participate in the digital bureaucracy. To suppress it all, it is important to ensure the quality of education, strengthen e-literacy, conduct intensive socialization, and seek technology infrastructure distribution.

Beyond state capacity: bureaucratic performance, policy implementation and reform

There is a broad consensus that state capacity is central to economic and institutional development. But while the concept originated as a tool for macro-historical and comparative analysis, its success has led the term ‘capacity’ to become a default metaphor for discussing the quality of government bureaucracies. This paper discusses the limitations to conceiving of narrower questions of bureaucratic performance and policy implementation through the lens of the broad, aggregate concept of capacity. Whereas capacity refers to bureaucracies' hypothetical potential, this usually differs from their actual actions due to internal information and incentive problems created by bureaucracies' collective nature, and the constraints and uncertainty imposed by their multiple political principals. Capacity is a convenient shorthand term and is appropriate for some purposes, but it achieves this convenience by abstracting away from the mechanisms that determine bureaucratic performance and policy implementation. To advance the study of bureaucratic quality, researchers should seek to understand the implications of bureaucracies' collective nature, engage with contextual specificity and contingency in policy implementation, and focus measurement and reform efforts more towards actual performance than hypothetical capacity.
