Bachtiar, Rizqi, and Prischa Listiningrum. "Local Governments Amalgamation in Indonesia: Prospects and Challenges." Lex localis - Journal of Local Self-Government 20, no. 3 (June 21, 2022): 597–616. http://dx.doi.org/10.4335/20.3.597-616(2022).
Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on analysing the importance of amalgamation of local governments and critically examine the current neglect of the amalgamation of local governments in Indonesia. By using a case study approach, the investigation on the importance of local government amalgamation in Indonesia found that amalgamation is an alternative policy to be taken by the government, and can be contrasted with the policy practiced until recently, which permitted extensive proliferation in the numbers of local governments. There is no evidence to suggest any specific attempt from the government to implement amalgamation. The government’s objective is to uphold a moratorium on proliferation, even though the government’s target has been broken by the approval of some new local governments during the moratorium period. Adverse economic motives, intertwined with political factors, are the main reasons for the failure to adopt a policy of amalgamation of local governments in Indonesia.

The paper examines the incentive effects of intergovernmental transfers on regional government spending levels in a multi-period model. The focus is on the repeated strategic interaction between the regional and federal governments and the exploration of the factors influencing the federal government's incentive to create soft budget constraints. The paper models the time-path of regional government spending when regional governments face uncertainty in regard to the federal government's ability to commit to its announced transfer scheme. The results show that in the presence of small shocks to regional endowments, the softness of regional government budget constraints increases over time if the federal government has a known finite mandate. Large shocks, however, can result in discrete changes in regional government spending that persist for the remainder of the federal government's mandate. The paper also shows how the time-path of regional government spending depends on the discount rate, the time horizon, and the regional governments’ prior uncertainty regarding the federal government's commitment ability.

The purpose of this study is to identify the problems with the education autonomy system and conflicts of the Japan, which is implementing the local education autonomy system to find a way to resolve conflicts and disputes that occur between the Minister of Education and the educational superintendent., and to suggest reasonable improvements. In Japan, as in Korea, there are conflicts and disputes between the central government and local governments. However, what is different from us is that the autonomy of local governments has been strengthened following the decentralization reform promoted by Japan in the 1990s. The Local Autonomy Act restricts the central government's involvement with local governments, and requires its intervention to meet the specified requirements and to follow due process, detailed in the relevant laws. In other words, the case of Japan, where there is a legal regulation making the central government not restricting or interfering autonomy of local governments, suggests that more detailed regulations are required within the scope that the government’s involvement and intervention doesn’t undermine the autonomy of local governments to us, where the requirements and process of the central governments’ intervention in local governments are simplified. In Korea, similar to the National and Local Dispute Resolution Committee in Japan, an administrative consultation and mediation committee exists under Article 168, but it is ineffective because there are insufficient regulations on the authority of the committee and the effect of the decision of the committee on the central and local governments. It is necessary to prepare a new type of dispute mediation body and related regulations that can minimize the loss that may occur in case of a dispute or conflict through comparative review of dispute mediation bodies in Korea and Japan.

Full textAbstract:
The literature perceives governments’ websites as an effective tool for increasing information delivery, user interaction, and the government services’ supply, being the most visible aspects of citizens concerning public management. However, the interaction of citizens with governments is still unclear. The practical implications of conducting e-government, capable of expanding this relationship, are still invisible. This study aims to provide an understanding of how governments’ websites are used as an e-government tool in local governments, highlighting how e-government concepts have been empirically employed. The study takes a qualitative approach, examining five municipalities in a microregion in the Brazilian state of Bahia. We gathered the data using a triangulation process that included semi-structured interviews, analysis of the websites, and opinion questionnaires to the citizens. Our research shows that governments lack compelling actions and coordinated internal procedures, resulting in a gap between practice and digital governance policies, resulting in low citizens' participation, and unfamiliarity with government communication channels. The study contributes to the e-government literature by offering further insight into how people and organizations influence technology use, providing elements that can guide motivated public managers to increase relationships and communication with society. We highlight the need to investigate the phenomenon of digital transformation in governments at the organizational level.

Full textAbstract:
The present study aims to determine the level and quality of comprehensive performance disclosure of the West Java government of Indonesia using an integrated reporting framework. The study analyzes the disclosure of government performance information based on the Notes to the Financial Statements of 27 districts/city governments and one provincial government in the West Java region from 2016–2020. The data was obtained by conducting a content analysis of the government's financial statements using the integrated reporting quality disclosure matrix. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests, and a cluster analysis. The results indicate that: (1) the quality of disclosure in government financial statements according to the integrated reporting framework is still low, with an average score of 35.19%; (2) there is no difference in the scores of disclosure items between district and city governments, but there is an increase in disclosure per year for two elements and total disclosure; and (3) the cluster formed indicates that 22 of 28 district and city governments need to improve the quality of their disclosures. In general, the disclosure quality of the West Java government’s financial statements is still at a low level. The results indicate the need to improve the quality of financial reporting by the government and the use of integrated reporting as a frame of reference.

Full textAbstract:
Several propostions about resource allocation behavior are tested with data for the Japanese national government and 46 prefectural governments. Results are compared with those from parallel tests employing data for the West German national government and 105 municipal governments. Most of the behavior observed in both countries seems compatible with the incremental model's assumptions. However, the West German national government's spending patterns are shown to be just as stable as the Japanese national government's. This finding runs counter to baransu descriptions of budgeting in Japan. Findings for subnational governments in both countries also contadict the literature. In particular, the expenditure pattern variability of Japanese prefectures and West German municipalities decreases with increased interparty competition.

The objective of this research is to assess and analyze the effect of political culture, government financial, government size, and economic growth on Indonesian local government’s financial reporting disclosure. The financial reporting disclosure of government, particularly the locals, is an important aspect for the fulfillment of users’ need for information. The sample of this research is 320 research data from 64 Indonesian local governments that meet certain criteria. The multiple regression analysis performed on the data has led to findings political culture expressed with the level of openness of local governments and large measures of government is a factor for informants to disclose information in accordance with the provisions of international standards and local governments to be more open. While government finance and economic growth do not influence local governments to disclose information. This is because governments that have better financial conditions tend to have less information disclosure rate. This research can be used by local governments to evaluate their information disclosures and to improve them by referring to applicable standards, guided by IPSAS, and can be used by the committee to enhance the related standard rules.

Full textAbstract:
Fiscal system incentivises local government officials to depend on central government’s transfers to fund their budgets. This paper examines whether district and municipal status local government officials exhibit the same spending behaviour when presented with central government’s transfers. The paper uses the panel data model to estimate the flypaper effect on district and municipal status local governments in the Central Region of Ghana from 2008 to 2015. The result shows differences in spending behaviour between district and municipal status local governments, where the flypaper effect is more pronounced on municipal status local governments (52.6%) than district status local governments (44.8%). Though municipal local governments are financially better in raising own-source revenues compared to the district local governments, the design of the fiscal system tends to make municipal local governments more reliant on central transfers than on expenditure of own-source revenues. This reduces interest in raising own-source revenue and its expenditure, a situation which has an adverse long-term impact on decentralisation in terms of citizen empowerment and participation. The study recommends an optimal level of central transfers which will serve the purpose of correcting vertical and horizontal imbalances, as in theory, and at the same time promote the ideals of decentralisation (citizen empowerment and participation).

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on the changing interaction between Taiwanese entrepreneurs and local Chinese governments. Through the analysis of this changing process, it can be seen that Taiwanese businesses are a special “asset” of Chinese governments. The main argument of this paper is that both central and local governments in China have strategic considerations in respect of Taiwanese businesses. The Chinese central government values Taiwanese businesses because more Taiwanese investment in China strengthens the Beijing government in negotiations with the Taibei government. Nevertheless, since the Kuomintang (KMT) (Guomindang) regained power in 2008, the strategic value of Taiwanese businesses in the cross-Strait relationship seems to have decreased. The central government has created a profitable macro-environment enabling local officials to give a warm welcome to Taiwanese businesses. Chinese local governments value Taiwanese businessmen not only because of the central government's deliberate policy but also because they are pursuing their own self-interest. This paper firstly focuses on the changing interaction between Taiwanese businesses and Chinese local governments. It then further analyses the different but complementary interests of both central and local governments in China in relation to Taiwanese investors.

The study aimed to identify the measurement and procedures taken by the Jordanian government to confront the emerging Corona Virus and prevent it from spreading among citizens. The importance of the study stems from analyzing the role of the Jordanian government's general policy in facing the emerging Corona Virus. The hypothesis of the study was that there was a correlation between the procedures taken by the government and the response to combat of Corona Virus. The main question of the study was: What is the general policy of the Jordanian government to confront the Corona Virus? In order to answer this question and to verify the validity of the hypothesis , the descriptive analytical and decision-making approach method were used. The study reached several conclusions, the most important of which are: First, the success of the government’s public policy was sufficient proof of the awareness of the governments that adopted it. Second, the objectives of the public policy are an expression of the goals of the state in general, hence the Jordanian governments had faced the disease competently. In light of these findings, it was clear that a number of precautions should be taken. These include The need to anticipate future events and prepare in advance for them; the need for all countries (governments) to cooperate in exchanging information about public concerns such as the Corona disease.

After a large-scale disaster, affected local governments face challenges such as a shortage of skilled staff in disaster response operations. Human resource support from external organizations is essential. This paper summarizes the major achievements of the human support system in Japan for affected local governments from the perspective of both local and national government support in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). However, several issues still need to be considered. In terms of mutual support among local governments, this paper proposes the following three points for future wide-area mega-disasters: First, each local government should enhance its own disaster response capacity. Second, the entire country should use skilled human resources effectively. Third, national and local governments should prepare to receive assistance from overseas. This paper also proposes the following three points for the support of the national government’s onsite organizations. First, the national government should define a detailed plan for dispatching personnel to affected areas. Second, the national government should dispatch support teams directly to each affected prefecture, instead of setting up onsite organizations that cover multiple prefectures. Third, local governments should prepare to receive these onsite organizations.

Full textAbstract:
The amendment to Law Number 32 of 2004 to Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government further emphasizes the centralized relationship between the central government and regional governments, which during post-independence experienced high dynamics, especially in terms of the concept of domination of power between the two. One of the significant impacts of this change lies in the central government's supervisory authority over regional regulations established by regional governments. This condition further strengthens the position of the central government towards regional governments. On the one hand, it reinforces the concept of a unitary state, but, on the other hand, further limits the authority of local governments in implementing regional autonomy. Both are mandates of the 1945 Constitution. The supervisory authority also has an impact on the authority to cancel regional regulations by the central government. This can not only be seen from the aspect of the relationship between the central and local governments, but also relates to the perspective of legislation. With the cancellation, it is important to look at the available legal remedies if there are those who are not happy with the implementation of the cancellation authority.

Full textAbstract:
Local financing platforms and (public–private partnerships) PPPs have received extensive attention, but there are few studies on the interaction mechanism of financing model selection. This paper presents a game-theory-based interaction mechanism of local financing platforms and a PPP model based on the government heterogeneity objective function. The study results found that the central government’s tolerance of local governments participating directly in municipal projects with financing platforms or PPP models mainly depends on land price premiums. When the premium is small, the collusion between local governments and financing platforms does not violate the objectives of the central government. Then, local and central governments prefer financing platforms to participate directly in municipal projects. In contrast, the local government prefers the financing platform model when the premium is significant. The central government no longer tolerates the financing platform model and prefers to complete municipal projects with the PPP model. This study believes that promoting the PPP model is a critical way to moderately resolve the debt risk of local government financing platforms and reduce the financial pressure on local governments.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Local governments play dual, but conflicting, roles in China's tax system. That is, they are both tax collectors and controlling shareholders of firms subject to tax payments. We investigate how local governments balance their tax collection and tax avoidance incentives. We find that the conflicts between central and local governments arising from the 2002 tax sharing reform have led to more tax avoidance by local government-controlled firms, particularly when the local government's ownership percentage of the firms is higher than the tax sharing ratio. We also find evidence that the overall level of tax avoidance by local government-controlled firms in a region is positively associated with local fiscal deficits. As a high level of government ownership of corporations and intergovernmental tax sharing are common phenomena in many transitional economies, this study offers valuable insights into how the dual roles played by local governments affect tax policy enforcement in these economies.

Full textAbstract:
This paper provides a dynamic theory of a parliamentary government system with proportional-representation elections, policy-motivated parties and voters, and an endogenous status-quo policy. The theory identifies the representation of parties in parliament, the governments the parties form, the policies chosen by those governments, and the duration of the governments and their policies. Governments are majoritarian, government parties are equal partners, they and their policies are durable, voters elect minority parliaments in every period, and government policies provide concessions to centrist voters. If crises can occur, governments can fall, but a new government forms after the next election. The theory provides explanations for three empirical findings: equilibria consistent with Gamson’s law, an analog of Duverger’s law for proportional-representation electoral systems, and compensational voting where voters give the out party additional votes when an incumbent government is expected to continue in office.

This study examines if a local government’s policies depend on that of similarly situated counties, called “neighborliness,” by analyzing the panel data of county governments in California from 2001 to 2014. In our study, the results show that the spending pattern of a local government is positively influenced by neighboring governments that are similar in terms of personal income and geographic proximity, whereas racial similarity does not work as a “neighboring” characteristic. Local governments benchmark the policies or programs of other neighboring governments, as they might face similar policy issues based on similar economic and environmental conditions. Interestingly, we also find that the degree of mimicking behavior depends on fiscal autonomy.

Full textAbstract:
In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the public generally expressed high pandemic-specific support for their governments. Analysis based on ESS Round 10 COVID-19 module data from 20 countries shows, however, that there was a gap between pandemic-specific and specific support for governments in European states. A positive gap in favor of pandemic-specific support for governments was found among 52.7% of the respondents, while a negative trend was observed among 24.0% of the respondents. Younger people, those self-employed or working for family businesses, students, those with better subjective health, and people who tested positive for or thought they had suffered from COVID-19 expressed less satisfaction with the government’s handling of COVID-19 in their country compared to general satisfaction with national government performance. Political opinions affected the support gap too; people who were satisfied with the way democracy works, were less trusting of their government’s ability to control the spread of the pathogen, preferred their own decisions over compliance with government restrictions, and perceived that their government failed to manage the health–economy trade-off restrained their pandemic-specific support for the government as well.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Recent research has drawn attention to the tension between the Central and local governments in China regarding their roles in environmental protection. This paper aims to explore this tension and examine the extent to which local/provincial government’s environmental oversight has influenced the quality of corporate environmental disclosure in China. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 198 listed companies in heavily polluting industries were selected to examine the relationship between their environmental disclosure quality and the respective local government’s environmental oversight level. Findings The results provide evidence that local/provincial government’s environmental oversight significantly influences environmental disclosure in China. Despite the coercive pressure from the powerful Central government on corporate environmental disclosure, local/provincial governments are able to buffer the pressure and adjust the intensity of their environmental oversight on companies during the implementation of central policies to retain local economic and political interests. This may partially explain the persistent issue of low environmental disclosure quality in China. Research limitations/implications This study enriches our understanding of the significant role of local governments in China in enhancing or sometimes discounting the regulatory enforcement of the Central government on corporate environmental disclosure, pointing to the need for concerted efforts by both local and Central governments to advance environmental disclosure development. Originality/value Research on environmental disclosure in developed countries has been well established in the literature. However, such research in developing nations is still limited, especially in China, the world largest developing country. The existing literature on environmental disclosure in China links it with either market demands, or regulatory enforcement from the Central government. The importance of local/provincial governments and their environmental oversight has long been ignored, which motivates this research.

Full textAbstract:
Since housing is a location-fixed property, the causes and solutions for housing problems in each region are inevitably different. Accordingly, since the 1990s, when the local autonomy system began, there has been continued discussions on the necessity of localizing housing policies. However, the central government still plays a leading role in the planning and implementation of housing policies, and the local governments play a supportive role. While focusing on the public rental housing policies, this paper aims to identify the obstacles deterring the localization of housing policies and to suggest practical implications for expanding the role of local governments in public housing policies. Through in-depth interviews with major stakeholders such as local governments and local public enterprises, this paper argues that the local government’s comprehensive housing plan should be strengthened in terms of its status and role. In the proposed new system, local governments establish public rental housing policies in consideration of individual local conditions. The central government should present budget allocation standards so that local governments can reduce the financial burden of the supply and management of public rental housing.

Full textAbstract:
At the beginning of each parliamentary session, almost all European governments give a speech in which they present the government’s policy priorities and legislative agenda for the year ahead. Despite the body of literature on governments in European parliamentary democracies, systematic research on these executive policy agendas is surprisingly limited. In this article the authors study the executive policy agendas—measured through the policy content of annual government speeches—over the past 50 years in three Western European countries: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Contrary to the expectations derived from the well-established “politics matters” approach, the analyses show that elections and change in partisan color have little effect on the executive issue agendas, except to a limited extent for the United Kingdom. In contrast, the authors demonstrate empirically how the policy agenda of governments responds to changes in public problems, and this affects how political parties define these problems as political issues. In other words, policy responsibility that follows from having government power seems much more important for governments’ issue agendas than the partisan and institutional characteristics of governments.

Economics and politics are often the two most important factors for a government that can maintain authority. Governments deal with domestic and international affairs primarily for economic or political purposes, but what choices do governments make when faced with a contradiction between these two factors? To understand the basis and reasons for the government's choice, this article uses the porcelain trade in China during the Qing Dynasty as an example. Government options are explored by comparing differences in pre- and post-porcelain trade. It can be observed that politics is often the preferred choice. Governments usually adopt active economic policies while guaranteeing political security and stability. Similarly, governments sacrifice economic interests for political security and stability. The same phenomenon exists in the international community, where the root cause of contradictions and conflicts between States lies in politics rather than economics. A proper understanding of this phenomenon can help people better understand the purpose of certain policies and may make the government pay more attention to the positive role of the economy.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Governments involved in civil wars often gain a strategic advantage from intentionally killing civilians. However, targeting civilians might also tarnish perceptions of the government’s legitimacy abroad, increasing the risk of foreign actors punishing the government. How can governments attempt to navigate this dilemma? Focusing on the United States as one of the most frequent interveners in civil wars after the Cold War, we examine one particular strategy governments might employ: public diplomacy campaigns (PDCs) targeting both the public and elites in the United States. PDCs can help governments restore perceptions of their legitimacy abroad in the face of civilian targeting by mobilizing coalitions of support and undermining critics. When governments can achieve plausible deniability for civilian deaths via militias, PDCs enable governments to reduce the damage to foreign perceptions of their legitimacy. When rebels engage in civilian targeting, PDCs allow governments to publicize these actions. We compile data PDCs in the United States by governments engaged in civil wars. Our results have important implications for current understandings of civil war combatant foreign policies, foreign interventions, and international human rights laws and norms.

Full textAbstract:
Web 2.0 is a technology that enables collaboration between citizens and the government to actualise the concept of open government. The adoption of technology in the public sector is known to have positive impacts in fostering public sector innovation, including in developing countries with various problems that require collaboration between citizens and the government. However, currently studies concerning open government technology adoption in developing countries are limited. Indonesia as an example of a developing and democratic country provides a suitable context to explore this phenomenon. Moreover, there are many local government institutions in Indonesia, especially on Java Island, that have implemented Web 2.0 to support open government initiatives. Therefore, this research aims to explore key factors influencing the adoption of the Web 2.0 platform by local government institutions in Indonesia. Multiple theories are combined to guide the exploration of the influencing factors related to technology, organisations, management, and the environment. Based on a multiple case study involving five local government institutions in Indonesia, we identified fifteen factors affecting the adoption of Web 2.0 technology. This study offers both research and practical implications that can be considered by government and other key stakeholders to optimise public participation and information access through the adoption of open government initiatives.

Full textAbstract:
Evolution of the political regime in Poland during the functioning of Beata Szydło’s government Liberal and illiberal democracies can be defined on the basis of five criteria distinct in both types of democracy: the rule of law, the government’s control, political elites’ integrity, media freedom and minorities’ protection. The article shows that four out of five criteria constituting illiberal democracy were fulfilled in Poland while Beata Szydło’s government was functioning the rule of law, the government’s control, media freedom and minorities’ protection, whereas only one systemic norm forming illiberal democracy minorities’ protection was fulfilled when the previous governments Donald Tusk and Ewa Kopacz’s governments operated. Thus, it can be stated that the transition from liberal to illiberal democracy took place in the period of the functioning of Szydło’s government.

Abstract
The financial performance of a regional government is the ability of a region to explore the financial potential of the region as well as to manage the local financial resources in order to meet the needs of the regional government so that it does not depend on the funding from the central government. This study was aimed to analyze whether fiscal balance transfers such as local own-source revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue sharing funds might affect the government's financial performance. The study used quantitative analysis techniques with multivariate regression. The object of this research was the district and city governments in South Sumatra in 2014-2016. The results showed that local own-source revenue had a positive effect on the financial performance of local governments. However, there were negative effects of general and special allocation funds on regional government financial performance. For revenue sharing funds, it did not affect financial performance. This means, the greater the contribution of local own-source revenue to finance development and community services the greater increase in the financial performance of local governments. The higher the amount of general allocation funds received from the center, the lower the financial performance of local governments. The large flow of special allocation funds can provide opportunities for budget leakage, which can result in a decrease in the financial performance of local governments.

Full textAbstract:
The Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) has been presenting a series of public policies to promote its Sharing City Initiative (SCI) since 2012. The initiative promotes many sharing programs that are aimed at providing opportunities to those who are in need of cars and public facilities such as parking facilities, convention facilities, and public libraries. This study examines the potential contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) to sustainable development and investigates the government’s role in the sharing economy based on the SCI undertaken by the SMG. Based on selected cases, this study suggests that the sharing economy is not necessarily purely market driven but can often be promoted and utilized by governments as a policy instrument for both economic and social goals. The findings of this study demonstrate that the underprivileged could be a target beneficiary group of a sharing economy if a government specifically designs a sharing economy project like the SCI. It is also important for governments to use government funding such as subsidies to initially promote the sharing economy project as well as to establish a supportive legal framework to overcome existing laws which often constrain sharing economy activities. Governments need to establish partnerships with various stakeholders including private enterprises, social enterprises, and NGOs as well as other local governments to take advantage of the economy of scale of a sharing economy. Lastly, this study shows that a government-driven sharing economy project can help to make governments more transparent and accountable if governments actively open their data to promote a sharing economy.

Abstract The tax autonomy of Nigeria’s three tiers of government is examined in this study to estimate the value of revenue fiscal decentralization in increasing citizens’ social welfare. Nigeria is a developing country that follows fiscal federalism by allocating resources to the three tiers of government and equally allowing them specific amounts of tax revenue collection based on the requirements of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s 1999 constitution’s second schedule part II. The main goal is to affect social development in all parts of the country. Thus, this study uses secondary data from 2007 to 2020 and analyzes it using a multiple regression approach to determine the influence of each tier of government’s tax autonomy on residents’ social welfare. According to the findings of this research, the federal government’s fiscal autonomy empowers social development more than the other two levels of government (state and local governments). The policy conclusion is that the tax autonomy of the three tiers of government may need to be reassessed in order to offer additional taxing powers to lower-level governments for better economic growth prospects. As a result, the research advises revamping the country’s overall fiscal system in order to promote social growth across states, local governments, and the whole nation.

Full textAbstract:
A report of residents living in extreme poverty level in Banyumas Regency required local government’s response through Extreme Poverty Reduction Program. Such poverty alleviation program consequently necessitated swift provision from the regional budget (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah/APBD). On the other hand, no budget had been allocated for the program during the budget year and the APBD was limited. The purpose of this study is to examine the responses of regional budget policy to the extreme poverty issue based on online news articles related to the subject. The study was conducted using content analysis methods and systematic literature reviews. The results show that the Banyumas government's response in addressing extreme poverty issue is relatively satisfactory. The local government responded with a regional budget policy by funding the program through Unexpected Expenditure (Belanja Tidak Terduga/BTT) budget item. Part of APBD, BTT was allocated as non-cash extreme poverty alleviation expenditure, while cash social assistance was to be sought to from the provincial and central government. Local governments do not have adequate budgetary capacity to independently finance extreme poverty alleviation programs and therefore require major support from the central and/or provincial government. A synergy between local, provincial and central governments is thus needed to better manage regional extreme poverty alleviation initiatives.

In January 2020, several governments in the English-speaking Caribbean not only started sensitizing their populations about the novel coronavirus but triggered various public health provisions that would allow the state to better manage the disease once it arrives within the respective countries. With the confirmation of the first cases, some national governmental systems were primed to act. Central governments across the region announced various policies and strategies, such as the closing of borders and schools as well as lockdowns as was necessary to mitigate the spread of the virus. But whilst attention was focused on what the central government was doing, very little attention was paid to local government activities that supported the central government’s policies. Local governments scaled-up the policies as enunciated by the central government, to ensure a wider geographical reach as well as a more intensive implementation process. Scaling-up also allowed for some expansion beyond the national policies to effect a program to mitigate the spread of the virus. Using examples from across the region, the article appraises the role of local governments in the quest to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

At this study, local government structure of Turkey is tried to be analysed. Urban administration of Turkey may be analysed three dimensionally: First dimension is central government and the city; the second is provincial organizations of central government and the third dimension is local governments and city. Therefore, when talking about “administration of cities in Turkey”, central government, its local organizations and especially the local governments should be mentioned. In this context, at this study initially cities in Turkey will be examined from the perspective of administration, then, central administration and central administration’s provincial organiations will be examined from the perspective of city governmnet. Finally two local government structures, “special provinicial administration” and “municipalities” will be examined.

Some European constitutions give cabinets great discretion to manage their own demise, whereas others limit their choices and insert the head of state into decisions about government termination. In this article, we map the tremendous variation in the constitutional rules that govern cabinet termination and test existing expectations about its effects on a government's survival and mode of termination. In doing so, we use the most extensive government survival data set available to date, the first to include East and West European governments. Our results demonstrate that constitutional constraints on governments and presidential influence on cabinet termination are much more common than has previously been understood and have powerful effects on the hazard profiles of governments. These results alter and improve the discipline's understanding of government termination and durability, and have implications for comparative work in a range of areas, including the survival and performance of democracies, electoral accountability, opportunistic election calling, and political business cycles.

Since 1995, when autonomous local government era started, an endeavour to vitalize local economy through hosting a local festival became a typical phennominon among local governments in Korea. However, non distinctive festivals mimicking one another did not earn the support from the local residents and ruined the effort of local governments and communities. Therefore a local government’s effort to remove overlapping investments and produce a meaningful result through festivals are sought throughout the local governments in Korea. It is the aim of this study to suggest an effective ways and solutions for an ideal festival through analyzing the evaluation from the festival visitors to the 2023 Sungju Melon·Life·Culture Festival.

Abstract This paper examines the extent to which the UK’s three devolved governments have sought and achieved influence on the UK Government’s evolving post-Brexit international trade policy, distinguishing their influence at key stages of the trade policy cycle (mandate, negotiations and implementation). Despite carrying the legal responsibility to implement those aspects of trade deals that fall within areas of devolved competence, the devolved governments’ attempts to secure meaningful influence on the UK’s trade agreements have largely been frustrated. This reflects a lack of trust between the devolved and UK governments, weaknesses in the framework for and operation of intergovernmental relations, and a strong desire of the UK government to retain control centrally wherever possible. The resulting tensions have exacerbated devolved governments’ concerns over the authority of the devolved institutions post-Brexit.

We live in a period where digital communication plays an integral role in citizen-government interactions. This holds reason enough to attest to the significance of the design and usability of government infrastructure on the internet- or, to be particular, the websites. The Indian Union’s executive comprises 58 distinct ministries and 93 departments, most of which operate their websites independently. Apart from the use of a “.gov.in” URL, they appear to not adhere to any form of distinctive visual identity or any system thereof. To establish a basis for comparison, and to draw inspiration to propose potential solutions, this study will look into the work done by various Western governments in branding their governments or their nation itself, like the Dutch, Swiss, and German Governments. This study aims to propose measures to bring consistency and personality to the Indian government’s websites, through adequate design solutions. The implications of this academic venture are far-reaching, including but not limited to better governance, better accessibility of government resources, better trust in the government, elevation of user experience.

This research focused on how technology could help improve local government performance. There are five factors in assessing the IT capacity of information; security, financial support, legislative support, and commitment to the organization. Many variables affect the ability to support the five characteristics. The population of this study was all work units responsible for the local government's performance in Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The sample was randomly selected to assess the effect of e-government in improving local government performance. Every year the work unit must report to the region. Regression analysis was employed in this study by using SEM-PLS software. The data showed that the variables of executive competence, financial Support, information security, legislative Support, and organizational commitment affected information capacity by 59.4%. The function of e-government in improving local government performance must be realized. For e-government to improve the performance of local governments, the two provincial/central governments must conduct socialization with local governments. Limitations of the study included the limited sample size, which might not represent the original status of citizens, and the short study period.

The aim of the article is to review the issue of performance voting in Slovakia on the national level but especially on the level of individual regions and districts. For this purpose, an ex-post index of government support is used. This indicator expresses the measure of growth or decline in a government’s (governing parties’) electoral support in parliamentary elections at the end of its functional period in comparison with its start, while also taking into consideration election turnout in the given elections. Governments in the period 2002–2020 are analyzed. In none of the five cases did the government manage to achieve a more favourable result at the end of its mandate than at the beginning. Government support on all levels showed a dramatic decline over time, particularly after 2010. An interesting finding is that on the sub-state level, while considering election turnout, differences in the evaluation of governments’ performance during their term were not, on average, particularly significant between districts. When evaluating the measure of government support, we can on the level of regions and districts talk about a moderately large to large decline in election support for the individual governments (with the exception of the 2006–2010 government). While in the first decade of the new millennium, economic reforms and the state of the economy played a key role in the reckoning for the government, after 2010 more specific political events defined by differences in values between governing parties, scandals or simply the need for change due to ‘material fatigue’ were behind the changes in government. In these cases, a great deal depended above all on the measure of party self-identification. The study showed that spatially disaggregated parts of the country (regions and districts) are similarly sensitive to these stimuli when compared to one another.

This is an exploratory research highlighting the concerns and reactions of Indian working-class people towards the COVID-19. It was observed that most of the Indian working-class people were seriously concerned about the pandemic and responded well to the measures suggested by the Governments and other agencies in a big way. Most of the respondents believed the pandemic will be effectively controlled across the globe within one year. Word cloud and other data visualization techniques were used to analyze the reactions of the Indian working class towards the Central and State government’s initiatives to contain COVID-19. In the word cloud of the top 150 popular words for both central and state governments Lockdown, People and Government have taken the central stage. The word streaming analysis suggests the intense relationship among the most frequent words in the dataset. For the central government, it was social distancing and for state government, it was social distancing and relationship between central and state governments. The sentiment analysis for both central and state government was neutral, mostly. The researchers are of the view that the research will provide a deeper insight into human perception and behavior towards the measures initiated by the Central and State Governments in any similar difficult situations. Further the concerns identified may be taken into consideration by the Government while designing the policy measures and other interventions by the Government.

In this study, practical cases of the operation of the evaluation system of local governments in which the central and local governments are mutually involved were examined through the spread of the manual “local government investment-funding institution evaluation proposal model”. Through this, we tried to examine the role distribution through mutual cooperation between local governments and central government departments.
As a result of the analysis, it was found that local governments are provided with the proposed model for the purpose of providing information, and the use of this model is different between metropolitan areas and basic local governments. While overall utilization was high in both metropolitan areas and basic local governments, metropolitan local governments showed high utilization of the proposed model's annual corona extra point index and social value index, while the basic local government showed higher overall utilization. This is because regional governments operate a relatively stable evaluation system due to the allocation of personnel in charge, and focus on improvement items every year. It was found that they were actively accepting it.
The proposed model that can show the realistic and complementary relationship between the central government and local governments based on the experience and assets of about 30 years since the election of the head of the popular election was carried out in earnest can be said to be a representative example of the relationship between governments. This was possible because local governments made an active request to the central government, and since the start of the proposed model is a bottom-up method, it can be said that it can provide implications for establishing the relationship between local governments and the central government in the future.

The purpose of this article is to describe the perspective between central and regional government relations in legal problems to handling a covid-19 pandemic. The important thing in a constitution is the desire for how the constitutional life of the nation is to be led, which can be seen in the structure and state administration system. There are differences appeared between central and local governments in handling covid-19 pandemic, such as the local lockdown or Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (“PSBB”) policies implemented in several regions in Indonesia, even though Law No. 6 of 2018 concerning health quarantine, the application of PSBB is the central’s government authority. On the other hand, the implementation of PSBB is the responsibility of the regional government to protect society. It seems that the central government’s struggle was preceded by the regional government due to the slow pace of movement that occurred to handle the Covid-19 pandemic the central government. What are solutions to overcoming the legal problems or problems dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic related to the perspective of the relationship between central and regional governments? Normative law research is used as a research method, that conducting by examining library materials as secondary data. The result showed that there is a shared responsibility to handle covid-19 pandemic for both central and regional governments. To make sure that the Joint coordination’s role is done without the friction of authority, it is important to pay attention to the following rules: 1). If the scope of handling covid-19 pandemic is across provinces area. It is the central government’s authority, 2). If the scope of handling covid-19 pandemic is across regencies/cities area. It is the provincial government’s authority, 3). If the scope of handling covid-19 pandemic is in a district/city area, it becomes the district/city government’s authority.
