Abstract

Village development in Indonesia has received substantial funding within a uniform good governance framework, yet the results on the ground remain highly variable. This study addresses this puzzle by proposing a shift in the analytical focus from governance to governability. This study developed and applied a new framework to assess a system’s governability and dynamic capacity to navigate governance challenges. Through a comparative analysis of transmigration villages in Indonesia, this study demonstrates that endogenous social capital is a key mediating factor, revealing that the success of rural development is determined not by formal compliance with governance structures but by the system’s ability to manage complex interactions between the state, market, and community stakeholders. The main contribution of this study is to provide a governability framework as a new, operationalizable analytical tool to explain variations in development outcomes, offering significant implications for the formulation of more context-sensitive policies.

村落发展与治理：以印尼东鲁吴地区迁移村落治理为例

印度尼西亚的村庄发展在统一的善治框架内获得了大量资金，但实际结果仍然存在很大差异。本研究通过提出将分析重点从治理转移到可治理性来解决这个难题。本研究开发并应用了一个新的框架来评估系统的可治理性和应对治理挑战的动态能力。通过对印度尼西亚移民村的比较分析，本研究表明，内生社会资本是一个关键的中介因素，表明农村发展的成功不是由对治理结构的正式遵守决定的，而是由系统管理国家、市场和社区利益相关者之间复杂互动的能力决定的。本研究的主要贡献是提供了一个治理框架，作为一种新的、可操作的分析工具来解释发展成果的变化，为制定更具环境敏感性的政策提供了重要启示。

期刊介绍： World Development Perspectives is a multi-disciplinary journal of international development. It seeks to explore ways of improving human well-being by examining the performance and impact of interventions designed to address issues related to: poverty alleviation, public health and malnutrition, agricultural production, natural resource governance, globalization and transnational processes, technological progress, gender and social discrimination, and participation in economic and political life. Above all, we are particularly interested in the role of historical, legal, social, economic, political, biophysical, and/or ecological contexts in shaping development processes and outcomes.
