Local resources referred to in this regard include human resources, natural resources, capital resources (financial), and the technology used. Regional capacity to manage local resources is strongly associated with how a pillar of good governance implementation.Local governments should be able to put their function as providers of optimal services to the community. Therefore, the development planning process should be undertaken to implement the process of bottom up development planning. Bottom-up planning process is one of the state media to be able to socialize in a focused and integrated to a process of development and implementation. In this case, the public are invited to be able to understand voluntarily on the procedures for planning and implementation process of development.Placement of the community as a determining factor in economic development is very necessary because it fits with the concept of economic development based on principles of equity, justice and social welfare. In addition, the concept of subject and object of development is also in accordance with the motto of national development, namely from the people, by the people and for the people.Application of economic development policy based natural resources and environment is very needed to be implemented nationally in all regions in Indonesia, given the role of regions in the era of regional autonomy is very significant in order to support and realize the ideals of national development, namely realizing a fairness and prosperous community of Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":355227,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics eJournal","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129560413","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}

Formerly it was based on individual-traditional approach, but then it moved more on collective-professional approach. This is indicated by the emerging of many zakah-managing organizations that are more professional and offer creative programs. This has positive impact towards the improvement of the Indonesian economy. At the least, appropriate zakah allocation in the certain programs may significantly have impact on the increase of the Mustahiq’s Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) and also increase the producer’s production rate. In macro level, it will also impact on the increase of Third Party Fund in banks. This paper will explain how zakah, with professional management, may fulfill the three aspects as mentioned above and hence the three will gradually alleviate poverty. Specifically, this paper limits the scope of research to only several programs of certain zakah-managing institutions that operate in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The method using in this paper is descriptive analysis regarding to the programs of zakah-managing institutions that have and have not been implemented. The analysis has reached to a conclusion that the programs can realize the increase of Mustahiq’s MPC thus converting them to become Muzakki, boost the producers’ level of production, and improve the balance of bank customers’ savings.","PeriodicalId":355227,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics eJournal","volume":"29 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133753186","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}

This paper introduces a new quinquennial data set of educational inequality of 146 countries, from 1950 to 2010, and it is the first to present a Gini index of education by 5-year age intervals and by sex for a broad panel. We use the Gini index of education as a measure of the distribution of years of schooling, with a more in-depth approach, compared to existing data sets (Castello and Domenech, 2002; Thomas et al., 2001, 2003; Checchi, 2004; Araujo et al., 2004; Lim and Tang, 2008; Foldvari and Van Leeuwen, 2010; Morrisson and Murtin, 2010; Meschi and Scervini, 2010; Castello, 2010a). We use data on educational attainment of Barro and Lee (2010) taking into consideration, for the first time, the over time changes on the duration of schooling cycles, in each country and for each age group. This approach can significantly improve the measurement of inequality in education by producing estimates of the Gini Index of Education more realistic and reliable especially when it comes to international comparisons. We made a decomposition of the overall educational inequality to measure the contribution of each component. The results show that (i) even though educational inequality has been declining for most countries during the last six decades, it is not occurring in a uniform manner because it depends on age group, gender and development level for each country or region. (ii) The data indicate the existence of the Education Kuznets Curve when we consider the standard deviation of schooling. (iii) It also suggests that the average years of schooling and the Gini index of education are negatively related.","PeriodicalId":355227,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics eJournal","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116124283","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}

Some states today still suffer the wounds of conflicts suffered many decades back. Africa in particular has been and still remains victim of recent conflict right from pre-colonial wars trying to resist colonial rule, violent struggle for independence and post independence strife. The post independence causes of conflict in Africa may be complex and country specific. Some conflicts are rooted from colonial political structure of divide and rule which was upheld by post colonial governments such as Rwanda, Burundi and Somalia where the Siyad Barre regime which initially after the coup in 1969 had outlawed “clannism” later relied on divide and rule tactics between Somali clans to hold on power. Others were wars of independence such as Namibia and former Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), while others took the form of session conflicts such as Senegal (Casamnce in the mid 1980s) and Nigeria (Biafra 1967-70). Countries such as Uganda had their conflicts rooted in delivering the country from dictatorial regimes such as the 1978-79 war and the 1980-86 liberation war. The conflict in Rwanda is a peculiar one in Africa and probably the world over. It exemplifies a systematic, well planned and unchecked massive killing of over eight hundred thousand civilians majority of whom Tutsi and moderate Hutu. This genocide which lasted less than three months stunned the world and offers a new twist and lessons to be learned in the broader concept of conflict management. This paper therefore seeks to analyze the 1994 genocide in Rwanda; more specifically the probable causes, actors, steps taken to avert the conflict and lessons drawn from the conflict in preventing war and conflict in general terms.","PeriodicalId":355227,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics eJournal","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115166025","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}
