The purpose of this article intended to contribute as a additional reference in the field of public administration and to overlook a concept for the development of digital government transformation that focus on collabrations. This article uses a systematic literature review to explore how collaboration can play an important role in the implementation of digital transformation in local government. West Java Digital Service (JDS) is a digitalbased local government agency in West Java Province, Indonesia has a goal as an accelerator of achieving government targets to break the digital divide for remote communities, improve the efficiency and accuracy of community data policies based on data and technology, to support responsive, adaptive, and innovative policy. Initial findings show that JDS does not originate from the purity of the bureaucracy, but rather an institution that formed specifically according to the needs in the acceleration of digital transformation. This means that not all local governments in Indonesia have these digital-based institutions. This article provides an overview of how Indonesian local government deliver a digital-base policy through joint decisions making, that seek to share power in decision making with stakeholders to develop shared recommendations for lasting solutions to public problems.
Canada is perceived as a strongly desired final destination for many refugees and immigrants due to its socio-economic advantages. The author assesses the Canadian praxis of the immigrant settlement from the community development standpoint, with a specific interest to present how successful Canadian immigration policy has been on the local level by using the established Local Immigration Partnerships model. On the other hand, by adopting the so-called restricted model of immigrant integration Slovenia has not developed a consistent model of integration, specifically leaving aside the potential of local areas in resolving these complex issues. The paper is confirming that due to institutionalized multilevel partnership Canada has been more successful in immigrant integration than Slovenia. In both countries, however, integration into the health system has been evidently the most acute problem. In order to obtain more relevant results, a mixed-methods research was used combining interviews and integration indexes. In the majority of integration parameters, Canada shows significantly better results than Slovenia.
The Slovenian community in Canada, although a small constitutive element of the current population, has actively contributed to the economic and political development of the second-largest country in the world. Previous studies have only descriptively addressed the role of Slovenian immigrants in the construction of this important economic system. This paper argues that the development within the community has brought about some significant changes in social stratification among its members, specifically with regard to the radical global economic challenges of recent decades. On the other hand, the specific altruistic mission of Slovenian community organisations has remained largely unchanged.
This paper addresses a specific phenomenon concerning power concepts in Canadian and EU foreign policies. As is widely known, the liberal-democratic platform has dominated global relations after the end of the Cold War. Implemented power approaches are studied from theoretical perspectives of liberalism/constructivism standpoints and their realist critique. Canada has been presented mostly as a middle power in international relations trying to find its specific role as a mediator and balancer among superpowers. On the other hand, the EU is classified predominantly as a normative power with tendencies to act as a great power from some point of view. In the paper, we analyse both entities through the recent concept of ‘awkward power’, whereby states have a so-called “dubious character”, acting in-between the potential of great and middle powers.
