Relevansi “Semangat” Birokrasi Lokal Tradisional Dalam Merevitalisasi Birokrasi Lokal Modern Indonesia Di Era Otonomi Daerah: Kasus Birokrasi Dalam Masyarakat Tradisional Batak Toba Di Sumatera Utara
type: item
description: Sejarah Negara Indonesia membuktikan bahwa universalitas birokrasi yang dirancang secara sentralistik kurang, mampu mengaspirasi kepentingan lokal, sehingga menjadi kurang efektif. Dalam era desentralisasi ini, efektifitas birokrasi lokal modern sangat ditentukan oleh sejauh mana birokrasi tersebut mampu mengapresiasi dan mengadopsi unsur-unsur positif birokrasi tradisional lokal yang sesuai dengan budaya masyarakat setempat. Paper ini merupakan hasil penelitian yang mencoba menggali nilai-nilai birokrasi tradisional “Sisingamangaraja” dalam masyarakat Batak Toba. Ada dua akar ideologi masyarakat Batak Toba, pertama, ideologi Agama (Hindu) dimana harmoni tercipta melalui tiga dimensi makrokosmos yaitu banoa ginjang (dunia atas), banoa tonga (dunia tengah) dan banoa toru (dunia bawah). Masing-masing dunia dikuasai seorang dewata yang merepresentasi sifat-sifat kebaikan tertentu yang dibutuhkan dalam menjaga keseimbangan dan kelestarian kehidupan. Ideologi kedua adalah kekerabatan, yaitu marga dan etnisitas yang bersifat komunal yang terpola dalam Dalihan Nan Tolu (Tungku nan Tiga). Setiap tungku mencerminkan posisi atau unsur yang harus ada dalam setiap kegiatan. Setiap individu yang sudah menikah melekat dalam ketiga posisi tersebut. Implikasi kedua ideologi di atas dalam masyarakat Batak Toba, melandasi hubungan antara Raja (pemimpin) dan Rakyat, rakyat dengan rakyat dengan kewajiban sesuai dengan posisinya. Raja merupakan pemimpin karismatik dan sekaligus pemimpin tradisional. Sebagai pemimpin karismatik, raja dianggap jelmaan dari dewata yang harus mempunyai sifat-sifat kebaikan dewa serta memiliki kekuatan magis. Sebagai pemimpin tradisional raja mempunyai legitimasi yang tinggi karena dipilih oleh rakyat sehingga harus mampu memenuhi tujuan kolektif (sesuai keinginan rakyat). Kepatuhan rakyat pada pemimpinnya (raja) ditentukan oleh kedua sifat kepemimpinan tersebut. Hubungan rakyat dan rakyat (sosial) didasarkan pada ketiga tungku yang bersifat seimbang dan tot…

Perpektif Kritis Kebijakan Pembaharuan Agraria Indonesia dari Rejim Orde Baru ke Rejim Reformasi
type: item
description: The agrarian problems in Indonesia have revealed the various gaps of resources occupation which has received inadequate atttention by the regimes throughout the time. The anaysis of agrarian reform history in Indonesia has expounded the sistemic state suppression toward the public. The characteristics and patterns of the existing agrarian policy have illustrated the resonance of many ideological struggles happening at the macro praxis level of development. The public struggle, manifested in various communal property right is fronted by the state who is highly productive in making hegemonic public policies in the social setting arena. The horizon of this struggle is characterized by a tug and war between the state center approch views and the society center approach views with some stream variants. Analysis has shown the different articulation values between the Old Order and new Order regimes. In the light of class analytic approach, the Old Order regime put more emphasis on a more populous agrarian policies based on neo-Marxist views. The New Order dominantly implement agrarian policies which are based on state center perspectives with the choice of state interest approach, strengtened by policies which take the side of liberal capitalist with growing systemic repression level. The Reform regime uses advocacy coalition framework approach for agrarian policy. The most important hypotetical implication of this analysis is if the state functions are not capable in becoming the articulator of public policy, the public itself will pursue collective policy which is known as land-reform by leverage. Kata kunci : state center approach, society center approach, land reform by leverage, agrarian reform, advocacy coalition

Legislasi Etik : Sebuah Alternatif Solusi Bagi Legitimasi Baru Legislatif
type: item
description: Public criticism about “budgetary party” conducted by Local Legislative Body (DPRD) in past two years reveals how impartant to set up instruments or tools that would be effectively control the body. Beside political approach, ethical approach to this issue will give another perspectives on how public organization or public officials should operate. Based on this approach, there are 3 conflicting sources that resulted in irresponsible, or unatehical, action of public organizations as follow : conflict of authority, conflict of interest, and conflict of role. In order to eliminate negative impact of those conflicting aspects, we have to consider ethics solution as viable alternatives. One of the important steps is put ethics legislation (or ethics law) on policy agenda. It is essential to adopt the law that would regulate public organizations or public officials comply with their ethical action in area such as financial exposure, campaign financing and so forth. Furthermore, some basic principles of limitation should be considered as compelling frameworks. Assuming that there is a strong political commitment from supra-political structure on legislative reform, the possibility of the law to be implemented is relatively high since sociopolitical setting has changed significantly. The establishment of Ethics Commission (or other names) and Ethics Code in Legislative Act (UU no. 22/2003), the consistency of media to disclose the issues, and the result of legislative general election are some important factors for us to be more optimistic.

Pembangunan Dan Modernisasi: Implikasinya Terhadap Tatanan Ekologi Dan Sosial
type: item
description: The paper starts from an idea that there is a fundamental difference between modernization and development. The former puts to much emphasis on industrialization with the effect that the social and ecological dimension of development is not adequately addressed. A genuine economic development should take into account social problems and ecological conservation. The incorporation of this social dimension into Indonesian economic development has been made more difficult after the economic crisis hit Indonesia in 1997. Therefore, an alternative model of economic development is needed so that the state and market might play their appropriate role in producing economic welfare for the people.

description: The Objective of Local Government is mainly to provide basic services in order to improve local community wellbeings. In Indonesia, the local government apparatus do not understand well about the issue of quality services, as they primarily give more attention on the issue of local revenues, based on local taxation and retribution. This has resulted in quality of services provided by most local authorities, that local community can hardly satisfied. With regards to such condition, the writer reccommends the local government to improve their quality of public services by establishing standards of quality public services and develop the capacity of local government aparatus to implement and to maintain excellences in the provision of local public services. In order to do that, the local governments need to understand the concept of excellence in public service, the principles in developing Minimum Standards of Public Services, and the model of quality services gaps. “With service excellence, everyone wins. Customers win. Employee win. Management wins. Stockholders win. Community win. The Country Wins.” (Zeithaml et.al.,1990: 2)

POLITIK DAN BIROKRASI: Reposisi Peran Birokrasi Publik dalam Proses Politik Lokal
type: item
description: Based on assumption that is politics and administration does not differents, this paper will be analyzed interrelation between politics and bureaucracy. This is a classical themes in public administration. But, after Indonesian government carrying out decentralization policy under UU No. 22 Tahun 1999, it is very interesting to elaborate this themes. Why? Because of decentralization policy have several impact to local political process. For example, legislative institution have more power than before. In this case, we can say that - in the hypothetic manner - legislative institution (as a real manifestation of politics) tend to donimated decision making process. For bureaucracy, it is not a good news. Under New Order regime, bureaucracy institution was very stronger than legislative institution. According to this change, this paper will be examined what it's the meaning of this change, especially when we search for the better understanding on politic-bureaucracy nexus. This paper will be focuse on three questions: (1) what is the implication of these change to bureaucratic reform of local government; what is the imperative process for bureaucratic government reform; (2) deal with to justice values, how to carrying out these reform?

type: item
description: There are three kinds of societies : high trust society, low trust society and zero trust society or distrust society. Indonesia tries to achieve democratization, therefore should provide civil liberties and political rights to all citizens, unfortunately in the Suharto’s regime those were not exist. Government only accommodate certain groups: entrepreneurs, bureaucrats and military. Many books reveal ways to change the authoritarian government to democratic government. Role of the elite, society involvement, and mix between elites and societies. Huntington mentioned three scenarios should be used. Transformation, replacements and transplacements. According to Larry, external intervention could be used to make the change. At the end of the 20th century, Indonesia has most dramatic political experience. Reformation Era arises and supported by the arises of freedom to speak (at the pers level). After five years of the transition time, many questions emerge and need answers.

What Can Indonesia Learn from American Federalism?
type: item
description: As Indonesia is moving from an authoritarian state to a democratic political system, there is a growing debate whether it is more suitable for the country to adopt a federal system in order to make sure that political power is brought closer to the people in the regions. The paper argues that the American federal system can be a source of some important lessons for Indonesia. However, it is necessary to note that a belief that a federal system may lead to a more equitable distribution of development resources should be read as a theoretical statement rather than an empirical description of reality. After all, some developing countries which adopt federal system like Brazil and Nigeria showed no convincing evidence about a better performance in the national distribution of development resources.

Keuangan Publik Dan Sumber Daya Manusia
type: item
description: Although decentralization and autonomy is exercised since Indonesian republic is formed, but they are not developed such as in West Countries, because it is not a panacea for the ill state or especially local government. Theoritically, there are many prerequisites of decentralization and autonomy that should called attention to the civil servants whose governed the local government. Many theoriticians written down about decentralization, included the advantages and disadvantages of it, the prerequisites should be fulfilled to apply it. Decentralization means that there are transfer of authority and responsibility in public function from central government to local government, other semi public agenda and also to the private sector. Also there are opinion about form and type of decentralization. The interesting things is the type of decentralization which divided decentralization into 4 types namely political, administrative, fiscal, economic and market decentralization. The aim of fiscal decentralization is to transfer the source of the financial to local such as the right to own and manage their own properties and the right to manage their human resources. But it is restricted by the upper rules, the well being of the people and should be applied properly. Local government give more attention to how they can earn more revenue than how to used it. Actually many infraction is occurred in the expenditures area. Local government is facing constraint with the fiscal decentralization relating with the source of the revenue. Central government still have right to attract revenue from local government, the effect is the state give balance aid to complete APBD (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah). So central government still become the importance role in public decentralization The expenditure part in APBD is consist of two parts, routine budget and development budget. In reality, both of them is used for the sake of the local government itself. Nowadays the routine bud…

Kompetensi Aparatur Dalam Pelaksanaan Desentralisasi Dan Otonomi Daerah
type: item
description: Historically, there are rules that followed pasal 18 UUD 1945. the arise of rules No 22 and 25 /1999 based on TAP MPR No XV/MPR/1998, it is occurred because there are many constraints that are facing by the rules No 5/1974 and then opportunities that are realized by the government and the representative of the people to exercise decentralization and autonomy. The opportunities are realized by them, such as the effort of reformation, the strong need of democratization and decentralization, free trade, globalization etc. Rule No 22/1999 explicitely separate the autonomy between the central government and the local govemment. it is also declare the autonomy of the local government is to manage it's own region in order to the public service in it's own region. The rule No 25/1999 is made to complete the rule No 22/1999. Local government should realized that autonomy which is given to the local government costly. Local government should reanalyze and reidentify the source of the local income to increase local income and in order to exercise decentralization. The exercise of decentralization needed financial decentralization, it means that government need human resources that are competent and professional to increase the source of the local income and how to used it in local region. Education and trainings is a tool that can be used to increase the capabilities of the apparatus. Should be note, that the education and the training that are exercised before is not a good tool because it can fullfilled the need of their task. So education and training that will be used should be analyzed it's own goals, such as what is the standard to become a good civil servant. The civil servant that are competent and professional is one of the basic tools that can help local government to increase public service and public welfare.

Signifikansi Struktur, Kultur, Prosedur, Dan Figur Dalam Reformasi Administrasi Publik Daerah Otonom
type: item
description: Kegagalan Orde Baru dalam menangani krisis multibidang tahun 1997-1999, telah menimbulkan gerakan reformasi yang menuntut perubahan pada segala bidang. Dilihat dari sifat dan prosesnya proses reformasi administrasi publik di Indonesia termasuk proses perubahan yang bersifat “discontinues” dengan pendekatan strategi penciptaan ulang atau pembuatan kesisteman yang baru. Dengan demikian diperlukan proses transformasi yang sistemik, komprehensif dan holistik serta perlu adanya langkah-langkah strategis dalam penyehatan organisasi. Struktur, kultur, prosedur dan figur merupakan dimensi-dimensi strategis baik sebagai input maupun output dan proses perubahan administrasi publik. UU Otonomi Daerah lahir sebagai salah satu wujud dan proses reformasi administrasi publik yang diskontinyu. Dikaji dari berbagai dimensi strategis di atas, menunjukkan bahwa, dari elemen struktur masih terdapat paradoks dimana unsur pusat dan propinsi masih enggan melepaskan kewenangan dalam bidang pemerintahan kepada daerah Kabupaten dan Kota. Dari dimensi kultur, masih ada hambatan seperti budaya kerja Orde Baru yang tidak inovatif, ketidakjelasan aturan, egoisme kedaerahan serta aktivitas anggota DPRD yang lebih berorientasi ke uang. Dari elemen prosedur, masih terlihat tuntutan daerah akan otonomi yang lebih besar. Disamping itu koordinasi propinsi dengan kabupaten/kota menjadi sulit karena terputusnya hirarki kedua tingkat pemerintahan tersebut. Masalah lain dari dimensi kultur adalah adanya ketidakpuasan daerah atas sistem bagi hasil sumber-sumber seperti yang ditetapkan. Dilihat dari elemen yang terakhir yaitu figur kepemimpinan, dirasakan masih belum adanya komitmen yang kuat dari kepemimpinan pusat atas pelaksanaan desentralisasi.

Profil Birokrasi Pemerintahan Dalam Semangat Otonomi Daerah
type: item
description: Sumber daya manusia birokrasi pemerintahan daerah merupakan salah satu sentral permasalahan dalam era otonomi daerah. Sumber daya manusia birokrasi dengan mutu yang rendah, bagaimanapun, tidak akan mampu merumuskan kebijakan publik yang berkualitas dan mencapai kinerja optimal, apalagi jika tidak memiliki moralitas yang terpuji dan tanggung jawab atas profesinya. Di samping sumber daya manusia, juga terdapat dimensi lain yang menentukan potret birokrasi pemerintahan, seperti : struktur, kultur, prosedur dan figur yang kesemuanya belum kondusif bagi birokrasi pemerintahan daerah untuk melaksanakan otonomi daerah. Untuk itu diperlukan usaha-usaha pemberdayaan birokrasi untuk membenahi potret birokrasi pemerintahan yang wajahnya makin carut marut. Satu hal penting ialah kemauan elit politik dan pemerintahan untuk menempatkan profesionalisme di atas yang lain. Ini dapat dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan beberapa upaya pembenahan seperti: sistem manajemen kepegawaian, proses seleksi pegawai, netralitas birokrasi, gaya hidup birokrasi, budaya kerja birokrasi. Pembenahan dilakukan secara simultan dan menyeluruh di semua lini melalui review seluruh pejabat publik oleh badan independen, misalnya, Komite Etika PNS independen, jujur dan non partisan yang keanggotaannya diakses dari berbagai kalangan.

description: Hopes for democratization in Indonesia runs high, especially among political observers both at home and abroad. However, the elitist character of Indonesian politics have produced surprises and volatile changes that in the long run may jeopardize democracy itself. When decentralization was introduced, the power falls into the hands of the local bosses whose greed control on local resources have brought local political system into stalemate. When most parts of the society took laws into their own hands, the concept of civil society is inflated and mischievousness enters the local politics.
