Cross-sector Partnerships Models in Corporate Social Responsibility to Implement Poverty Reduction Initiatives in Indonesia
No full textIn order to effectively align corporate social responsibility (CSR) with the poverty reduction agenda, corporations need to be more inclusive and collaborative with other actors. Cross-sector partnerships in the implementation of CSR have been an emerging approach and practice, as promoted by public administration scholars. Key actors in the partnerships may come from the government, civil society represented by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and corporations. However, designing successful effective partnerships that are relevant to cross-sector dynamics and political contexts has been proven to be particularly challenging, especially in emerging economies and new democracies, such as Indonesia. This paper provides key characteristics of effective cross-sector partnerships that have been derived from an examination of three case studies in Indonesia and Tanzania. They represent cross-sector partnerships with differing scope and depth. Throughout this paper, one can observe and extract key characteristics of effective partnerships based on three case studies of which a model for each is described. In particular, characteristics utilized for assessing the effectiveness of the models include ownership, alignment and synchronization, accountability, reduced dependency, resource sharing, along with representation and legitimacy
Transformational and Transactional Leadership Understanding How Leadership Cultivates Democratic Citizenship in Panggungharjo, Bantul, Yogyakarta
Get PDFLeadership is essential in promoting democratic citizenship; this is also true at the village government level. Using the experience of Panggungharjo Village, Bantul, this paper tries to understand the role of leadership in supporting the fulfillment of citizens’ rights within the context of Law 6/2014 on Villages. Based on interviews and field observations conducted between October and November 2016, this paper finds that transactional and transformational leadership approaches, conceptualised by Burns (1978) and applied in Panggungharjo, influence the effective provision of public service and welfare. When used complementary and strategically, the two leadership styles determine the effectiveness of village leadership and reform initiatives. Indeed, there is an issue of power that is crucial to take into account. In comprehending this important aspect, Lukes’s (1974, 2005) concept of power dimensions is helpful. His diagram of power consists of tangible power engineering (First Dimension), a new system of procedures that create barriers for potential political opponents (Second Dimension), and the enactment of new norms (Third Dimension). In Panggungharjo, the village head’s leadership, approach has been widely recognised as one of the success stories in Indonesian village governance. Nevertheless, the findings suggest that this effective and functioning government has led to leadership practice that has created citizens who are “beneficiaries” rather than “shapers and makers” (Cornwall & Gaventa 2001; Gaventa, 2002, 2004). This outcome may not optimally underpin active citizenship, as active citizens are a prerequisite to promoting democratic citizenship
Muslim Ban during Trump’s Presidency through the Target Population Framework
Get PDFOne of the controversies that defined Donald Trump’s presidency was his travel ban policy, which targeted immigrants from many Muslim-majority countries in 2017. While researchers have analyzed the rhetoric, discourse, and indirect speech acts of President Trump and American politicians to fully understand the enforcement of the travel ban, the number of studies investigating how politicians utilize the social construction of immigrants to support or oppose the travel ban is limited. Hence, it is crucial to thoroughly study how political actors socially construct immigrants to justify their policy positions on the travel ban. In this article, we contextualize the travel ban policy within the literature on the social construction of target populations, one of the prominent theories of policy processes. To that end, we examine four types of data sources: legal documents, relevant tweets posted by politicians, think tank publications (op-eds, releases, and commentaries), and news articles published during the travel ban debates. In light of our analysis, we find that not only policymakers but also members of the judicial system, news media sources, and think tanks construct immigrant identities in a way that justifies their policy positions on the travel ban. Our findings underscore the need for a nuanced and well-rounded debate on travel restrictions concerning the reconstruction and reimagination of immigrant identities by various actors. We also contend that future research could greatly benefit from analyzing the social construction of immigrants by different policy actors in a comparative fashion

Agar tanggung jawab sosial dan lingkungan (TJSL) perusahaan semakin relevan dengan agenda pengurangan kemiskinan, perusahaan perlu lebih inklusif dan kolaboratif dengan aktor-aktor lain. Kemitraan lintas-pihak (cross-sector partnership) dewasa ini telah menjadi tren pendekatan dan praktik TJSL, sebagaimana dipromosikan para ahli administrasi publik. Aktor-aktor kunci yang potensial sebagai mitra perusahaan bisa berasal dari elemen pemerintah, dan masyarakat sipil yang dalam hal ini organisasi non-pemerintah. Meski demikian, mendesain kemitraan yang efektif dan relevan bagi suatu konteks dan dinamika politik ternyata merupakan tantangan tersendiri, khususnya bagi Negara seperti Indonesia sebagai kekuatan ekonomi dan demokrasi baru. Sebagai upaya menjawab tantangan itu, artikel ini membahas karakteristik kunci kemitraan lintas sektor yang efektif, yang dielaborasi dari dua studi kasus di Indonesia dan satu kasus di Tanzania. Ketiganya mewakili model kemitraan dengan jangkauan lingkup dan kedalaman keterlibatan yang berbeda. Dalam tulisan ini, karakteristik kunci dari kemitraan yang efektif ditelaah dan diperas dari pembahasan tiga studi kasus tersebut. Hasilnya adalah karakteristik-karakteristik kunci yang meliputi rasa kepemilikan, keterkaitan dan sinkronisasi, akuntabilitas, berkurangnya ketergantungan, pembagian sumber daya, serta representasi dan legitimasi. Kata kunci: kemitraan lintas pihak, pengurangan kemiskinan, tanggung jawab sosial dan lingkunga
