Neoliberalism, Governance, & Capital Accumulation: A Study of Development Debates and Social Dynamics in Indonesia
Governance is a concept for the development of good government management. On the one hand, this concept seems to be a new breakthrough in providing public services and regional development. On the other hand, the concept of governance is said to be a concept that drives the neoliberal agenda for market development. The impact of this often causes environmental damage, social conflict and inequality. This article aims to portray the government development debate and social dynamics occurring in Indonesia. Theoretically, this article shows the debate about understanding the concept of governance and the various views that accompany it. Empirically, instead of the governance view being said to encourage improvements in public services with social development, it actually encourages market access for the benefit of capital accumulation in Indonesia. This article seeks to answer three basic questions. First, how does neoliberalism shape the concept of governance; Second, how does the concept of governance encourage capital accumulation; and Third, how development debates shape social dynamics in Indonesia. This paper uses a desk study by collecting several secondary manuscripts and tends to focus closely on theoretical debates. In the end, this article wants to conclude an argument that governance practices are closely related to the neoliberalism agenda which actually encourages opening up market access and wider capital flows. Such conditions will become a new problem in the development of community welfare
Exploring The Employee Perspective of Competency development Practices in the Public Sector: A Case Study of the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM)
Following the end of the New Order regime and reform initiatives promoted by the World Bank, the Indonesian government increasingly adopted New Public Management (NPM). With NPM, the skills and competencies of the State Civil Apparatus, as agents of bureaucratic reform, must be enhanced to meet organizational goals. However, these goals often conflict with employees' interests. Therefore, it is crucial to consider employees' perspectives when developing competencies. This research examines employees' views on competency development and the role of leaders. Using qualitative methods, 12 public sector employees were interviewed through an exploratory survey. The findings indicate that competency development is often linked to financial well-being, while other interpretations are overshadowed by different priorities. The practical implication is that the government should tailor its human resource policies and practices to achieve desired outcomes
The Effectiveness of the SP4N-LAPOR! as a National Public Service Complaint Management Application
The implementation of the National Public Service Complaint Management System-Online Aspiration and Complaints Service (or Sistem Pengelolaan Pengaduan Pelayanan Publik Nasional- Layanan Aspirasi dan Pengaduan Online a.k.a SP4N-LAPOR!) as a national public service complaint management application is still facing several problems. Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (or Kementerian Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi a.k.a KemenPANRB) as a national admin of the SP4N-LAPOR! carries out monitoring and evaluation duties at the national level and forwards the reports to each government agency, thus playing an essential role in the effectiveness of SP4N-LAPOR!. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing public service complaint management in the SP4N-LAPOR! by KemenPANRB in 2021. Qualitative and descriptive approaches as well as interview observation and documentation were used to collect data. The findings in the research show that the SP4N-LAPOR! has been planned and arranged according to applicable regulations. However, in practice, the implementation of SP4N-LAPOR! has not been optimal due to several factors: commitment, coordination, technical and operational capabilities, technology, and community involvement.
Stakeholders Reactions to Rebranding of Madiun City: Case Study in Indonesia
The Indonesian people have called Madiun City “Kota Brem,” “Kota Pecel,” and “Kota Sepur” since the Dutch era. In line with the Mayor’s leadership policy, the city branding of Madiun was shifted from “Madiun Kota Gadis” to “Madiun Kota Karismatik” and finally to “Madiun Kota Pendekar”. This study examines stakeholders’ reactions to the rebranding of Madiun City. This study uses qualitative research paradigms and case study methods. The primary data sources were obtained through extensive interviews and non-participant observations. Secondary data came from documentation. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman’s interactive model approach. The study found that the stakeholders are apathetic when responding to the city rebranding due to their low participation and lack of knowledge in the decision-making process. Differences of interest between the government and stakeholders result in a low response.
The Impact of the Makassar Recover Program on COVID-19 Response
The spread of COVID-19 in Makassar City has increased the death rate, affected people's behavior, and crippled the economy. Various efforts have been made to mitigate it, including by implementing the Makassar Recover policy.

The Determinant of Trust in Telemedicine: A Systematic Review
Telemedicine is a form of utilizing technology in the health sector that has been rapidly adopted globally, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine has the potential to be a solution to overcoming the problem of access to health services. Despite its great benefits, telemedicine also encountered obstacles in its implementation, and among them that are fundamental is trust. Trust in telemedicine is unique and different from electronic services because it involves personal and sensitive data. This study examine the role of trust in telemedicine and the factors that determine trust in telemedicine services through a systematic review. This study uses a systematic review method of related publications from 2012 to 2022 derived from the Scopus database. A selection process was carried out based on the eligibility criteria set for 1196 related publications, so 17 articles were obtained, which were analyzed in this study. Based on a literature review, trust in telemedicine is multi-dimensional and is shaped by various factors of trust that influence each other. The main factors are trust in the care organization, trust in the care professional, trust in the treatment, and trust in the technology. Another factor that determines trust in telemedicine is individual’s characteristics, such as age, gender, level of education, technological literacy, income, type of disease, health condition, frequency of use, and experience. Moreover, there are factors external from the individual characteristics that can also determine trust in telemedicine, such as family support, living area, community, and social media, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the existence of policies and regulations that support and enforced
Governance for Sustainable Development for Nickel Project in Indonesia
The paper investigates the governance and administrative process in the nickel project in Indonesia and offers suggestions to apply governance for sustainable development concept for creating an eco-mobility industry in Indonesia. This paper is a case study using qualitative methodology and governance for sustainable development theoretical framework. In applying qualitative methodology, this paper is supported by previous research publications, local press publications, and interviews. The governance for sustainable development is used as a strategic guideline in mining project to develop Indonesia’s eco-mobility industry further. This paper has three findings. First, the nickel project in Indonesia is part of bilateral cooperation between Indonesia with the National Strategic Program and China with the Belt and Road Initiative program. Thus, the concept of governance is not only applied in domestic policy but also bilateral cooperation. Second, non-technical issues have been identified during the governance and administrative process of nickel project in Indonesia. The governance concept must be applied to resolve the project’s non-technical problems and make it sustainable. Third, all the governance stakeholders in the nickel project must adopt a sustainable governance development framework. Indonesia should avoid further setback and refrain from the previous oil-booming phenomenon in the 1970s. The governance sustainable development concept requires all the stakeholders in the mining project to cooperate inclusively. It comprises extraction, production, recycling-waste management, e-vehicle industry, social acceptance, and rehabilitating the environment (land, air, water, and the living beings) affected by mining activities. This paper highlights Indonesia’s experience in creating an eco-mobility industry, using the nickel project as the key driver under investigation

Human Trafficking: A Systematic Review and Future Research Agenda
This study aims to examine the topic of human trafficking (HT) to outline the definition and typology of HT, stages of HT, research themes, and future research directions in HT studies. This study used a systematic literature method to analyze 229 articles from the social sciences category from the Scopus database. This study found that the definition of HT is complex. Thus, to define HT, scholars need to be specific about the context, characteristics, and typology of trafficking. There are many internal and external factors in mobilizing the victim's choice of victim's immigration into this crime's vortex. Hence, policymakers need to know the critical issues of victim preference in the HT stage. Ultimately, there are three primary themes in the HT topic. They are: (1) developing models and strategies for dealing with more effective ways to combat HT around the world, (2) exploring and further comprehending the social and cultural factors underlying HT in different regions, and (3) capacity-building countries and implementation of more effective policies to protect and assist trafficking victims. Our integrative literature review may be the most recent study to provide detailed information about each research stream of HT literature in the social sciences discipline. The results of our review are limited to HT publications in the social sciences field, which stemmed from Scopus
