This study aimed to examine the visit of bureaucratic officials to local head candidates who have been confirmed to win local elections, commonly known as sowan. The officials ignore the neutrality aspect of bureaucracy that should be strictly upheld. This phenomenon is explained by the concept of a new paternalistic bureaucracy. This study used a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. In-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and documentation was utilized as data collection methods for this study. This study's interview and FGD participants include local officials with knowledge of the sowan phenomenon and general civil servants in Banyumas, Purbalingga, Banjarnegara, Cilacap, and Kebumen. This study discovered that sowan in the perspective of bureaucracy signifies friendship, loyalty, approach, and negotiation. This research highlights the strength of paternalistic bureaucracy, which generally begins in the final phase of the democratic process of local elections. Conceptually, this study is useful to explain the sowan phenomenon concerning bureaucratic neutrality and democracy and provide practical insights on the importance of law enforcement to violators of bureaucratic neutrality. This study explains the new paternalistic bureaucracy in the era of democracy in local governments in Indonesia. This study recommends the importance of law enforcement for violators of bureaucratic neutrality without discrimination, the improvement of the relationship between political and bureaucratic officials that reflect better partnerships in the recruitment of career officials, and the importance of bureaucrats who are committed to maintaining the principle of merit in the selection of local officials.

Economic recovery policy in low-income communities is a priority of the government in tackling the tidal wave of the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to map the government's priorities and rapid action in its careful planning also implementation. The challenge is how society has a drive about a wide range of choices that have many possibilities, namely maximizing added value to the aid or fulfilling desires that approach irrational behavior. Therefore, encouragement is needed by every individual to choose choices that are in line with the government's policy objectives to eliminate or eliminate extreme poverty. The method used is an analysis of social science and behavioral science with circumplex strategy, which is further analyzed in correlation with quantitative methods using Kendall W. Test analysis and continued double regression. The results showed that encouragement had a positive and insignificant influence on the effectiveness of BLT policies; predictions of irrational behavior have a negative and insignificant influence on the effectiveness of BLT policies; And together, nudge and irrational predictably have a positive and significant influence on the effectiveness of Top Up BLT policies. Recommendations on the encouragement in improving the architecture of choice are the collaboration between the program implementation team and related stakeholders; irrational behavior predictions are anticipating irrational behavior tendencies by understanding the vulnerability of preconditions and conditions in the implementation of the program; the maintenance of the commitment of the central and local government and village government in enforcing regulations.

The discussion on the Travel Corridor Arrangement (TCA) between the Indonesian and Singaporean governments will continue in the future, but technically and practically, there are still certain issues that the Indonesian government has not addressed effectively. This demonstrates that we are technically still waiting for the correct judgement while the COVID-19 pandemic's case count declines. The goal of this article is to examine different research hypotheses on the elements that impact Indonesia's readiness for TCA with the Singapore government. The technique employed is a qualitative literature review. To bolster the literature review with secondary data, the researchers enhanced the examination of research hypotheses using the NVivo program, which was then thoroughly assessed. The findings indicate that researchers will also identify that Indonesia will be more sensitive to TCA than Singapore, resulting in the decision being rejected, while the next hypothesis is that TCA is also focused on tourists, as opposed to business activities between the two countries, and that the Indonesian government has also proposed implementing RGL, but RGL is not a priority, implying that TCA is more effective. if RGL is emphasized, the hypothesis may be accepted. This suggests that based on some of the results of these hypotheses, the rejection of the first hypothesis is due to a lack of expertise in Human Resource Management in implementing TCA with the Singapore government

Indonesia is one of the list of developing countries in the world. The thing that is most often found in developing countries is vast populations. As one of the countries with the highest demographic bonus, Indonesia ranks at the top of the list for the world's population density. The complexity of the problem of population data in Indonesia has become an enormous homework for the government. The issue of this occupation data has haunted the Indonesian government for a long time. This study aims to analyze the politicization of Indonesian population data governance from the moral agent perspective. This study uses a qualitative approach. Sources of data were collected from previous studies related to the research topic by analyzing the phenomena in Indonesia. The findings of this study reveal the game of politicians and bureaucracy in playing population data. The game is in the form of politicizing data based on political interests. In the principal-agent perspective, where the contract is signed under asymmetric information when one party knows certain relevant things that the other party does not know

Beberapa laporan terkemuka telah menyoroti tingkat transparansi anti-korupsi yang masih belum memuaskan untuk sektor swasta di Indonesia sehingga visi anti-korupsi masih menjadi aspek yang patut dikampanyekan untuk membentuk peradaban yang maju dan berkeadilan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh suatu pola pengetahuan dalam melakukan prediksi atas tingkat transparansi pengungkapan pelanggaran fraud berdasarkan pendekatan data mining. Algoritma fungsi klasifikasi pada penelitian ini adalah decision tree yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan algoritma fungsi klasifikasi lainnya, naive bayes dan k-nn. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 141 perusahaan gabungan sektor konstruksi, pertambangan, dan perbankan, yang melantai di BEI periode 2019. Hasilnya, algoritma decision tree memberikan performa kedua terbaik dalam memprediksi tingkat transparansi korporasi, yaitu akurasi 70,92% dan tingkat AUC 0,740. Kemudian dalam hal uji beda, algoritma decision tree ada pada klaster yang sama dengan algoritma dengan performa terbaik karena hasil t-test menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan. Berdasarkan pola yang dihasilkan oleh algoritma decision tree, unsur kesempatan, tekanan, dan arogansi, disimpulkan sebagai faktor kunci dalam memprediksi tingkat transparansi pengungkapan pelanggaran fraud . Salah satunya dapat dimaknai bahwa perusahaan yang diawasi oleh minimal empat orang komisaris independen berarti perusahaan tersebut cenderung diprediksikan akan lebih berani dalam mengungkapkan informasi anti-korupsi pada laporan tahunannya ke publik secara lebih luas. Penelitian ini juga merekomendasikan agar setiap instansi yang berotoritas di Indonesia menerapkan pendekatan algoritma data mining dalam memanfaatkan keunggulan volume data internal masing-masing instansi untuk memetakan strategi sosialisasi budaya anti-korupsi pada perusahaan sektor swasta.

Otonomi daerah memberikan peluang sekaligus tantangan bagi Pemerintah Daerah untuk mengelola dan menggali sumber-sumber Pendapatan Asli Daerah. Sebagai Ibukota Provinsi, Pangkalpinang masih mengandalkan transfer, dana, namun pendapatan asli daerahnya sangat rendah. Kajian ini mencoba mengidentifikasi dan memetakan penerimaan pajak dan retribusi daerah di Pangkalpinang kemudian merumuskan rekomendasi strategis yang dapat dipertimbangkan oleh Pemerintah untuk meningkatkan pendapatan asli daerah. Penelitian ini menganalisis efektivitas, kontribusi, dan pertumbuhan penerimaan pajak dan retribusi daerah di Kota Pangkalpinang antara tahun 2016 sampai dengan tahun 2020. Hasil analisis kontribusi dan pertumbuhan tersebut digunakan sebagai dasar analisis kelas. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan efektivitas penerimaan pajak di Pangkalpinang dengan tarif sebesar 114,54%, sedangkan efektivitas retribusi sebesar 96,61%. Penerimaan pajak daerah yang memberikan kontribusi terbesar adalah pajak penerangan jalan yang memberikan kontribusi sebesar 36,49%, sedangkan kontribusi retribusi terbesar adalah penerimaan dari penggunaan kekayaan daerah yaitu sebesar 25,05%. Berdasarkan analisis Klassen, diketahui bahwa terdapat empat sektor yang termasuk dalam kategori berkembang, empat sektor dalam kategori maju namun tertekan, lima sektor dalam kategori potensial, dan sisanya sembilan belas sektor dalam kategori tertinggal. Peneliti menyarankan kepada pemerintah untuk fokus mengembangkan dan mengembangkan sektor-sektor yang tertekan jika ingin meningkatkan penerimaan pajak dan retribusi daerah dalam jangka pendek. Namun, jika ingin meningkatkan penerimaan pajak dan retribusi daerah dalam jangka panjang, mereka harus fokus pada sektor-sektor yang berkembang dan potensial.

The problem of poverty still exists today, and economic disparities are still found in districts/cities in Indonesia. The government has taken various ways to alleviate the problem of poverty, one of which is by distributing village funds to all corners of the country. Based on the data availability in Buku Saku Dana Desa and Buku Pintar Dana Desa published by the Ministry of Finance, Village income from 2015 to 2017 tends to increase. Meanwhile, the number of poor individuals throughout Indonesia between 2016 and 2017 has decreased. This paper attempts to examine whether or not Village Income, such as Village Funds, Revenue Sharing Taxes and Levies, Village Fund Allocations, and Village Original Income, as well as the GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product), affect the incidence of District/City poverty in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data from Statistics Indonesia for two years, consisting of 407 districts/cities in Indonesia each year. The regression analysis with static panel data using a double log model is the data analysis technique used in this article. The results show that Village Income and GRDP have an effect on poverty in districts/cities in Indonesia, with values of -0.0004 for Village Funds, 0.003 for Revenue Sharing Taxes and Levies, -0.026 for Village Fund Allocation, 0.002 for Village Original Income, and -0.197 for Gross Regional Domestic Product. We advise the government to increase village fund transfers, village fund allocation, and GRDP to lower poverty levels.

The scheme for the disbursement of social assistance through the Family Hope Program (PKH) during the COVID-19 pandemic changed, originally once every three months; now, it is carried out every month from April to December 2020. This change in the scheme has resulted in various responses from Beneficiary Families (KPM). PKH. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection in this study was conducted through in-depth interviews and direct observation in the field. In order to determine the informants, this study uses a sampling technique with purposive sampling. The results showed that the response of KPM PKH in Nagari Gunung Rajo in terms of perception, attitude, and participation aspects showed a positive response. This can be seen from the PKH KPM. They have understood the purpose of changing the PKH program assistance scheme, the terms, methods, and timing of aid distribution, and are actively participating in PKH activities. Researchers recommend the government consider changing the PKH assistance scheme because it will reduce the amount of assistance received by KPM and increase transportation costs. Besides that, it also has a big impact, especially for those whose assistance is of small value. The most important thing is that clear public communication and definite regulations are needed so that KPM is not confused by sudden changes in the scheme, and it is necessary to carry out synergies because the key to the success of this program lies in multi-stakeholder communication, cooperation, and coordination.

This study focuses on the collaboration between the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Government of Indonesia, the Bhakti Jaya Indonesia Foundation, and the Universitas Pembangunan Nasional "Veteran" Jawa Timur to improve the economic protection of Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan. The three actors are representatives of state actors and non-state actors. The financial condition of Indonesian migrant workers is often in the spotlight with their inability to get out of the debt trap and consumptive financial management. Moreover, this condition finally seemed to throw away all the hard work of PMI while working abroad. Based on this fact, an institutional collaboration between state and non-state actors has initiated a financial literacy program for Indonesian migrant workers, which is indeed the implementation of the normative law of economic protection in accordance with the mandate of state law. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach which aims to describe the phenomena raised by the researchers through contextual studies. Researchers also use a literature review instrument to complement the research approach. Meanwhile, researchers used qualitative data analysis that took primary and secondary data for data analysis. This study highlights how the gaps in Indonesian migrant workers' inability to manage their finances can be addressed with good collaboration between state and non-state actors. It is hoped that from this research, there will be many similar programs to improve Indonesian migrant workers' welfare, especially in Taiwan.
