Evaluation notes are important as a basis for developing a special autonomy policy framework in the future. This study aims to present a corrective note on the implementation of special autonomy in Aceh Province and its regencies and cities. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with literature study and spatial analysis methods. The novelty presented in this article is the presence of a multidimensional discussion of special autonomy to see the performance of Aceh over the past fifteen years. The urgency is the amount of the Special Autonomy Fund for the sixteenth year to the twentieth year, which is equivalent to 1% (one percent) of the ceiling of the National General Allocation Fund (DAU). Significant spatial changes have occurred in the last fifteen years in Aceh, although they are still slower than other areas in Sumatra. Another problem that arises in this study is the stagnant position of Aceh as a region that is not yet fiscally independent. The political dimension also shows that the people's political preference for local parties in Aceh has weakened. This study also highlights the absence of a standard reference regarding the division of authority between the Central Government, Aceh Government, and Regency/City Governments. In conclusion, special autonomy in Aceh has not been running optimally and requires reform of the Special Autonomy policy as a corrective effort to several problems presented in this study.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133637657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are still major issues that have not been resolved and will recur in the future, such as the lack of a complete and ongoing examination of the use of special autonomy funds. The goal of this research is to develop a unique autonomy evaluation model for Papua and West Papua Province. The CIPP Model (Context, Input, Process, Product) and the Gap Analysis Model were used in this study. The two models are used to assess education, health, infrastructure, and affirmation funding, which are the four key areas of focus for the utilization of special autonomy funds. The CIPP evaluation model can be used to comprehensively evaluate the use of special autonomy funds in two provinces in four areas, according to secondary data analysis and focus groups with stakeholders in the provinces of Papua and West Papua, as well as the cities of Jayapura and Sorong, including government officials, traditional leaders, youth leaders, women's leaders, and members of the Papuan People's Assembly (MRP).

The struggles to break from colonialism out were in concordance with Indonesia's efforts to maintain and secure its territorial sovereignty. Upheavals, threats, and even separatism often arose in various parts of the country, even since the early days of Indonesia's independence. Aceh is no different. The perceived injustice in the distribution of benefits from natural resources had led to conflict in Aceh in the past. To deal with this issue, through the enactment of the Law No. 11 of 2006, the central government granted the special autonomy status for Aceh to induce peace and security, while achieving social justice within the province. The special autonomy status was also intended to accelerate the economy and improve education, quality of life, health, and infrastructure. The implementation of the special autonomy and how it contributes to the improvement of the welfare of the Aceh residents are critical and interesting to analyze. In this study, the “welfare” was analyzed based on four aspects of analysis: (1) poverty alleviation, (2) unemployment alleviation, (3) Human Development Index (HDI), and (4) Gini Ratio. The study adopted a qualitative exploratory research design, in which data were derived from analysis of secondary sources obtained through literature review. The results of the study showed that Aceh was heavily dependent on the Special Autonomy Fund. The Aceh Provincial Government set seven priority sectors: infrastructure, economic empowerment, poverty alleviation, education, social, health, and Aceh privileges. Furthermore, other than improving the Gini Ratio, the Aceh special autonomy fund has had a positive impact on the welfare of the Acehnese in general.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125273414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phenomenon of kinship politics is also inseparable from democracy in Indonesia. The rise of kinship politics is reflected in the implementation of the 2020 Regional Head Elections. This has caused concern from various groups, from the general public to democracy experts. They assume that the practice of kinship politics will harm political developments in Indonesia. Based on this phenomenon, this article aims to review kinship politics in the 2020 Regional Head Elections. The review covers implementing kinship politics, the reasons for the widespread practice of kinship politics in Indonesia, and its implications for governance practices in Indonesia. The methodology used is the method of literature study or literature review. Based on the findings, kinship politics in Indonesia occurs in almost all regions in Indonesia and strengthens in the 2020 Regional Head Elections. This happens because of the pattern of patron-client. Furthermore, negative implications are found in a patronage network that leads to cases of KKN-the Indonesian acronym for corruption, collusion, and nepotism, the destruction of local democracy, and moral hazard problems. The alternative used is political party reform, where the party applies a transparent and merit-based mechanism for regeneration.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133438448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the strong support of kinship politics from the local political elite, the candidate for the South Minahasa district head, Michaela Paruntu, had a very high chance of winning the 2020 regional election in the South Minahasa District. But the reality was different. The popularity gained from the influence of the previous district head, a close relative of the candidate, and the support of the ruling party in the South Minahasa District were ineffective in generating public support for the candidate. This study analyzed the factors that caused the ineffectiveness of the kinship politics in the South Minahasa District. This phenomenon was interesting to study since previous studies on kinship politics presented empirical evidence that candidates who have a kinship with the authorities or elites have a better opportunity to win an election. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The result of the study showed that the community's perception of kinship politics in the South Minahasa District influenced people's political choices in the 2020 Regional Head Election (Pilkada).","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128688237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this research is to map the potential problems and identify the challenges of achieving the ultimate goal of regional autonomy. This research uses a literature study as an analytical tool to answer the objectives of the study. Discussions about kinship politics in Indonesia present a perceptual dichotomy, where on the one hand this is not a problem when the local leadership of kinship politics is able to bring prosperity together. However, on the other hand, this can become a problem when political actors abuse power that perpetuates the strengthening of the oligarchy and ignores the original goal of decentralization, namely, to bring prosperity and a dignified quality of life. Candidates who are affiliated with kinship politics face a fairly formidable challenge, namely, to strengthen regional competitiveness in a sustainable manner based on the principle of transparency in order to maintain public trust during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":253000,"journal":{"name":"Bestuurskunde: Journal of Governmental Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133180969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interestingly, the dynastic political network in Banten contributed to Pilar Saga's victory. Even the various corruption cases that ensnared Ratu Atut's family could not undermine her political network. For example, the corruption case of Ratu Atut for alleged bribery of the Constitutional Court and the trading of positions, T Chaeri Wardana for the corruption case of medical equipment, and Ratu Lilis Karyawati for the Cibenuangen River bypass case in Lebak, Banten. The purpose of this study was to analyze the extent to which Pilar Saga's kinship politics network and modalities influenced his victory in the 2020 South Tangerang Regional Head Election. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method in South Tangerang. The research data was taken through observation and library research to strengthen the conclusion. The results show that the Pilar Saga political network and modalities, apart from being built from the Atut dynasty, were also boosted by the performance achievements of the incumbent Pilar Saga pair. The incumbent in the previous period with Airin Rachmi Diany (Atut's sister-in-law) was able to bring South Tangerang City to be the best Regency/City area in Banten in HDI (Human Development Index) numbers.
