The content of IPA has shifted over time, and debate over its meanings and key attributes has been a consistent feature of the history of Muslim societies. This means a hard-edged IPA concept constituted by immutable structural features to enable valid and reliable observation over time is likely to be defeated. This article argues instead for a thematic IPA framework that is relatively underspecified to allow for context sensitivity and facilitates the analysis of enduring historical dilemmas of Islamic governance. Such a framework helps show how IPA differs from other public administration traditions; specifically, its self-conscious reinvention by appeals to Islamic theology, law and ethics; and its grounding in values that are not commensurable with secular, liberal “public” values.","PeriodicalId":43945,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration","volume":"10 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135391055","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}

In this study, we draw upon existing business literature, specifically focusing on dependency relationships and resulting opportunism within mandated networks, a critical but often overlooked aspect. Further, within mandated networks characterised by limited autonomy and trust, ways in which network members navigate dependency relationships remain unexplored. We conduct a comparative case analysis, examining network arrangements within India’s National Health Insurance Programme. Based on our findings, we propose that the nature of interdependence among network members and the resultant dependency relationships impact the conduct of network members and, thereby, network performance. If the dependency relationships are not governed effectively, conflict bargaining and opportunistic behaviours get manifested. Contrary to expectation, network performance tends to be higher in jurisdictions where dependency relationships are effectively governed through hierarchical authority. These findings hold significant relevance; as mandated networks are created under the shadow of hierarchy but governed through clan or trust-based mechanisms.KEYWORDS: Mandated networkdependency relationshipsnetwork governancenetwork effectivenesspolicy implementation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

However, there is a more recent trend in Indonesia, where social entrepreneurship is formally practised in public policy. This new approach represents an initiative related to what we call Institutionalized Social Entrepreneurship (ISE). In this article, we investigate the challenges faced while implementing experimental measures to transform cash transfers into social entrepreneurship programs based on 43 interviews with key stakeholders and end-users spreading over five regions. Our research findings indicate a lack of shared understanding among stakeholders when implementing social entrepreneurship programs. Furthermore, the beneficiaries face difficulties distinguishing between social entrepreneurship programs and regular cash transfers, leading to ineffective program outcomes and significant challenges in achieving community development objectives. This issue is exacerbated by an unbalanced power distribution between government and non-government actors involved in program implementation, which can potentially limit the program’s effectiveness and efficiency. Its unfolding transformation of social assistance and the application of social entrepreneurship in Indonesia highlight a new deal for welfare that responds to uncertain post-pandemic circumstances. This study adds to the literature on social entrepreneurship by highlighting the complexities of the state-society relationship in ISE.KEYWORDS: Social assistanceinstitutionalized social entrepreneurshipcash transfercommunity empowerment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data available statementThe raw data are not publicly available due to containing information that could compromise the privacy of research participants.Additional informationFundingThe author received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.Notes on contributorsTauchid Komara YudaTauchid Komara Yuda is a Research Fellow at the Department of Sociology and Social Policy, Lingnan University, Hong Kong.

To what extent efficiency gains are internalizedinto the governance scheme remains open. This study proposes a nestedmodel suggesting that the development of PPPs is enabled andconstrained by project features, local contexts and (top-down)governance scheme. Based on 325 environmental PPP projects in China,the multilevel models suggest when government payment or subsidy wereinvolved, the development of PPPs was not driven by efficiency gainsbut empowered by top-down governance. While efficiency gainsmattered, user fees also prevailed more when certain governingarrangements were place.
