Abstract

Leadership competencies act as a precursor in catalysing bureaucratic reform and propelling long-term development, yet the multitude of political tensions and policy conundrums has called for a deeper examination of the individual capabilities needed to satisfy public expectations. Taking on a comparative case study approach in East Java, Indonesia, we dissect the dynamic relationship between leadership competencies, individual policy capacity and regional development, positioning that these three elements form a symbiotic capability matrix that transcends their individual boundaries. We unveil how autonomous and proactive leaders, while operating within established structures and networks, leverage the power of social embeddedness, thus crystallizing it as an integral pillar for successful regional development. Through the embodiment of interdependence and relational dynamics, we foster a paradigm shift from an individualistic perspective to a context-aware, relation-centred approach within leadership and regional development landscapes.

领导力的社会嵌入性:印尼东爪哇地区发展中个人政策能力的发展轨迹

领导能力是催化官僚改革和推动长期发展的先导，然而，众多的政治紧张局势和政策难题要求对满足公众期望所需的个人能力进行更深入的审查。以印度尼西亚东爪哇的比较案例研究方法为例，我们剖析了领导能力、个人政策能力和区域发展之间的动态关系，认为这三个要素形成了一个超越个体界限的共生能力矩阵。我们揭示了自主和主动的领导者如何在既定的结构和网络中运作，利用社会嵌入的力量，从而使其成为成功区域发展的不可或缺的支柱。通过相互依存和关系动态的体现，我们在领导和区域发展格局中促进了从个人主义视角到情境意识、关系中心方法的范式转变。

期刊介绍： Millennial Asia: An International Journal of Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary, refereed biannual journal of the Association of Asia Scholars (AAS)–an association of the alumni of the Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF). It aims to encourage multifaceted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on Asia, in order to understand its fast changing context as a growth pole of global economy. By providing a forum for Asian scholars situated globally, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community, civil society and policy makers on Asian issues. The journal examines Asia on a regional and comparative basis, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. Modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economies and political institutions, among others. It confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion and communal identifies while embracing globalization. An analysis of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. In particular, the journal is interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical perspective, through the use of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. This way, it hopes to promote comparative studies involving Asia’s various regions. The journal brings out both thematic and general issues and the thrust areas are: Asian integration, Asian economies, sociology, culture, politics, governance, security, development issues, arts and literature and any other such issue as the editorial board may deem fit. The core fields include development encompassing agriculture, industry, regional trade, social sectors like health and education and development policy across the region and in specific countries in a comparative perspective.
