"Abstract. Analyzing the root of conflict in the practice of decentralization and transfer of authority from the State to Nagari, it turns out that Nagari has been ?framed? by the State (provincial and district government) to perform its tasks regardless of the original culture and characteristics of the local community as is stated in Law No. 32 of 2004 concerning the Local Government. Nagari in West Sumatera is still a matter to be discussed, with elaborative variables of social stratification and model of kinship and the notably diverse political system (kelarasan koto piliang and bodi chaniago) enriching Nagari with analysis of its democratic transition history, model of participation and model of intervention by the State along the time."

"Abstract. This paper aims to analyze the importance of legitimacy aspect for a government, related to the existence of indigenous people, in the context of local election as the manifestation of democracy. Generally, legitimacy is interpreted in a normative understanding, particularly in its relation to the legal fulfillment of formal requirements that produces a legitimate government. Legitimacy is required to ensure that a government has justifications to implement all of its functions. Moreover, legitimacy is also necessary to ensure the compliance and support of people. Nevertheless, in terms of indigenous peoples, though formal legitimacy is indeed important, it is not the only legitimacy required by the local government. The legitimacy shall also be related to local values upheld by people. Based on the research conducted on the Toraja ethnic group in Tana Toraja, in the perspective of legal pluralism, there are two crucial intersecting governing norms. This study shows the importance of adat values to obtain legitimacy, in the context democratization in Indonesia, and the existence of adat in the implementation of local autonomy. By using several different principles as the bases, the existence of adat and formal law in the implementation of local election show that there is a collaboration effort to make the process of democracy and adat go along well, conferring a legitimacy for the local government despite the uniqueness of the Toraja people.Abstrak. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pentingnya aspek legitimasi bagi pemerintah terkait dengan keberadaan masyarakat adat dalam konteks pemilihan kepala daerah sebagai perwujudan demokrasi. Pada umumnya legitimasi ditafsirkan dalam pemahaman yang bersifat normatif terutama dalam kaitannya dengan upaya pemenuhan persyaratan formal berdasarkan hukum dalam menghasilkan suatu pemerintahan yang dianggap sah. Legitimasi dibutuhkan guna memastikan suatu pemerintahan memiliki justifikasi dalam melaksanakan semua fungsinya. Selain itu, legitimasi diperlukan juga untuk memastikan kepatuhan dan dukungan dari masyarakat. Namun terkait dengan keberadaan masyarakat adat, legitimasi formal memang penting namun bukanlah satu-satunya legitimasi yang dibutuhkan oleh pemerintah daerah. Legitimasi juga akan terkait dengan nilai-nilai lokal yang diyakini dalam masyarakat. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan pada komunitas etnis Toraja di wilayah Tana Toraja, dalam perspektif “legal pluralism”, terdapat dua norma penting yang mengatur yang saling bersinggungan. Tulisan ini menunjukkan pentingnya nilai-nilai “adat” dalam upaya menghasilkan legitimasi dalam konteks demokratisasi Indonesia serta eksistensi keberadaan adat dalam pelaksanaan otonomi daerah. Dengan beberapa prinsip dasar yang berbeda namun tetap di jadikan landasan, maka keberadaan “adat” dan hukum formal dalam pelaksanaan pilkada, menunjukkan adanya upaya kolaborasi agara proses demokrasi dan “adat” tetap dapat berjalan bersama dalam yang memungkinkan adanya legitimasibagi keberadaan pemerintah daerah dalam konteks keunikan masyarakat Toraja."

"In a number of developed countries, tax incentives for universities have improved the quantity and quality of graduates; in the long run, recapture tax potential losses have grown due to workforces with high levels of income. Therefore it is essential to review policies on state levies in Indonesia, since only 4% of the total national workforce have university-level education. The research maps and evaluates various forms of tax incentives for education under various tax regimes. Data is gathered through documentation study, extensive interviews, and focused group discussions. The policies are evaluated using the six policy criteria proposed by Dunn (2003). Research shows that there are many types of state levies for education, both in the form of taxes and non-tax state revenue (PNBP). In general, current policies for income tax (PPh) incentives are more progressive compared to those of previous tax regimes, although other tax incentive policies still face many limitations. Furthermore, tax incentives for higher education have not fully met the requirements for effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness and appropriateness. It is our hope that findings from this research will serve as recommendations for policymakers in refining policies on tax incentives for higher education."

"Berbagai isu strategik yang memengaruhi kinerja pemerintahan daerah di Indonesia sangat kompleks seperti halnya pada pemerintahan daerah di negara lain, sebagaimana diungkapkan pada hasil penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya, antara lain kemampuan fiskal, latar belakang pimpinan daerah sebagai entrepreneur, dan kapasitas manajemen memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja pemerintahan daerah. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk melakukan investigasi terhadap isu-isu strategik lainnya yaitu karakteristik daerah, public entrepreneurship, lingkungan strategik, serta penegakan etika dan akuntabilitas apakah sangat penting dan pasti pengaruhnya terhadap kinerja pemerintahan daerah. Sebagai tahap awal penelitian menyeluruh terkait pengaruh public entrepreneurship terhadap kinerja pemerintahan daerah, pemetaan perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan tingkat kepentingan dan kepastian dari asumsi strategik tersebut dengan pendekatan Strategy Assumption Surfacing Test (SAST) yang melibatkan pakar secara terbatas melalui penyebaran kuesioner dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Hasil olah data atas jawaban kuesioner mengindikasikan variabel karakteristik pemerintahan daerah dan elemen-elemennya (aset daerah, kapasitas fiskal, kapasitas manajemen dan perilaku kewirausahaan), public entrepreneurship (inovasi, kreativitas, proaktivitas, risk-taking dan orientasi kepentingan publik) merupakan asumsi strategik yang penting dan cukup pasti pengaruhnya terhadap kinerja pemerintahan daerah di Indonesia.

Various strategic issues that have an effect towards the performance of local governments in Indonesia are very complex just like the local governments in other countries, as investigated on previous researches. These strategic issues, which include the fiscal capacity, the background of the local leaders as entrepreneurs, and the capacity of management, would have significant influence towards the performance of local governments. This research tries to conduct the investigation towards other strategic issues i.e. the characteristics of local governments, the public entrepreneurship, the strategic environment, and the enforcement of ethics and accountability of bureaucracy, which is both very important and very certain in terms of the influence towards the performance of local governments. As the initial phase of thorough research is related to the influence of public entrepreneurship towards the performance of local government, the mapping needs to be conducted in order to ensure the level of importance and certainty of the strategic issues with the use of the Strategic Assumption Surfacing Test (SAST) approach involving the selected experts through limited Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results of data processing would give an overview that the characteristics of local governments and its elements (the regional assets, the fiscal capacity, the capacity of management and entrepreneurial behavior), the public entrepreneurship (innovation, the creativity of the individuals within bureaucracy, proactiveness, risk-taking and public-oriented) are the strategic issues, which are important and certainly influence the performance of local governments in Indonesia."

"Abstract. Together with the implementation of local autonomy, Indonesia implemented the concept of fiscal decentralization,manifested through the local government’s authority to collect tax and retribution. The implementation process of such policy,however, still triggers certain problems, such as people’s perception of tax as burdensome obligation without any right ofcounter-achievement (compensation) for its payment. This research aims to study the paradigm change of local tax, viewedfrom three aspects: (1) the paradigm shift of local tax in Indonesian governance system, (2) new paradigm of local tax, (3) theeffect of local tax paradigm change toward local developments. The approach used is qualitative with data collection techniquesof observation, in-depth interview and literature study. The result shows that the paradigm change of local tax is necessary sincethere is a spectrum of democracy development in society due to the fact that the revenue from local retribution is less than therevenue from local tax. As a consequence, local tax paradigm should be altered i.e. local tax must give counter-achievementfor the related tax sectors. Hence, local tax paradigm change shall increasingly influence the taxpayers to obediently fulfill theirobligation of paying local tax since they may directly enjoy the benefit of their tax."

"Abstract. The research aims to describe the profile andrestructuring process of organizational structure of Maros District government. The research uses the theory of organization, concept of local bureaucracy and local government to enrich the study. Through the method of qualitative research and the data analysis technique of interactive model, the research finds that the organizational restructuring of local government was conducted through new formation, merging, division, and removal, either in the structural position, or regional working unit itself. The study also shows the presence of several structural positions and working units that have more than one function. This indicates that the restructuring and functioning of local government organizations has not reflected the rationality of local bureaucracy and shows the complexity of the functions inherent in the organizational structure of local government.Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan proses restruktrurisasi dan profil struktur organisasi pemerintahan daerah Kabupaten Maros. Penelitian menggunakan teori organisasi, konsep birokrasi pemerintah daerah (local bureaucracy), konsep pemerintahan daerah (local government) dan perspektif mengenai local bureaucracy untuk memperkaya kajian ini. Melalui metode penelitian kualitatif dan teknik analisis data model interaktif, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa restrukturisasi organisasi pemerinatah daerah dilaksanakan dengan cara pembentukan baru, penggabungan, pemisahan, dan penghapusan, baik pada jabatan struktural maupun satuan perangkat daerah itu sendiri. Hasil kajian menunjukan pula adanya beberapa jabatan dalam struktur dan satuan perangkat daerah yang memiliki lebih dari satu fungsi. Hal ini menandakan bahwa pembangunan struktur dan fungsi organisasi pemerintahan daerah belum mencerminkan rasionalitas birokrasi lokal serta menunjukkan adanya kompleksitas fungsi yang melekat pada suatu struktur organisasi pemerintah daerah."

"Abstract. Centralized approach is no longer perceived as effective in managing natural resources such as the forest. In line with the good governance movement, practices of forest resource management have changed from one-bureaucratic show into partnership. Consequently, the concept of transparency, accountability, and broader public participations should be institutionalized to improve the sustainability of forest management. By using the experience of Banyumas? forest communities as case studies, this research aims to examine the extent to which the practice of good governance in forest management develops and influences the sustainability of forest management. Since this study was been intended to reveal the process of governance practices at the level of community-based organization, it uses the descriptive-qualitative approach in its analysis. The result of this study shows that participatory forest monitoring, transparency and accountable asset utilization have been practiced by the local forestry organization in their forest management. The researcher also found that strong traditions and local leadership contributes positively to good governance practices by providing cultural dialogue forum, social control and a spirit of volunteering.Abstrak. Sumber daya alam seperti hutan tidak lagi efektif untuk dikelola dengan pendekatan terpusat. Sejalan dengan gerakan pemerintahan yang baik, praktik pengelolaan sumber daya hutan telah berubah dari satu-cara birokrasi kepada cara-cara kemitraan. Akibatnya, konsep transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan partisipasi publik yang lebih luas harus dilembagakan untuk meningkatkan kelestarian hutan. Dengan menggunakan pengalaman masyarakat di hutan Banyumas sebagai studi kasus, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji sejauh mana praktek gerakan pemerintahan yang baikdidalam pengelolaan hutan untuk mengembangkan dan mempengaruhi kesesuaian pengelolaan hutan. Karena penelitian ini telah dimaksudkan untuk mengungkapkan proses praktek tata kelola pada tingkat masyarakat berbasis organisasi, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif dalam analisisnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penyertaan dalam pemantauan hutan , transparansi dan akuntabilitas dalam pemanfaatan aset telah dipraktekkan oleh organisasi kehutanan setempat dalam pengelolaan hutan. Saya juga menemukan bahwa tradisi yang kuat dan kepemimpinan lokal memberikan kontribusi positif bagi praktek tata kelola yang baik dengan menyediakan forum dialog budaya, kontrol sosial dan semangat sukarela."

"There has been no research that particularly and comprehensively analyzes state levies policy on fishery sector in Indonesia, although this is very important. The minapolitan (fisheries cities) program will support food sovereignty, at the same time functions as economic growth center in the regions. High state levies will impede fishery sector productivity, however on the other side, there must be state protection to maintain environmental sustainability and prevent excessive exploitations of natural resources. The state must also keep fishery product ruling in its own country by protecting it from the invasion of fishery product imports. Therefore state levies must be put in a balance position between budgetair (source of state finance) and regulerend (tools to manage state policy in the economic and social field) functions. Another newness offered by this research is the development of ?the cost of taxation? concept into ?the cost of state levies? concept. The development is grounded by an analysis that Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) has similar characteristics with taxation. In addition, the various state levies eventually cause compliance costs, in the form of direct money cost, time cost as well as psychological cost.

Abstrak. Belum ada penelitian yang secara khusus dan komprehensif menganalisis kebijakan pungutan negara atas sektor perikanan di Indonesia. Padahal, hal ini sangat penting karena program minapolitan akan mendukung kedaulatan pangan, sekaligus sebagai growth economic center di daerah. Biaya pungutan negara yang tinggi akan mendistorsi produktivitas sektor perikanan, namun di sisi lainnya, harus ada proteksi negara untuk melindungi kelestarian lingkungan serta menghindari eksploitasi sumber daya alam yang berlebihan. Negara juga harus menjadikan produk perikanan berdaulat di negara sendiri dengan menjaga serbuan impor produk-produk perikanan. Karena itulah, kebijakan pungutan negara harus ditempatkan dalam posisi yang selaras antara fungsi budgetair dan regulerend. Kebaharuan lain dari penelitian ini adalah pengembangan konsepsi cost of taxation menjadi cost of state levies yang dilatari analisis bahwa terdapat Penerimaan Negara Bukan pajak (PNBP) yang menyerupai karakteristik pajak. Selain itu, beragamnya pungutan negara pada akhirnya juga akan menimbulkan compliance cost, baik dalam bentuk direct money cost, time cost maupun psycological cost."
