“…The fall of Soeharto's regime not only marked Indonesia's transition from autocracy to democracy, but also restructured central-regions relations (Aspinall and Fealy 2003). During the regime, regions merely served the interests of the central government, in that most policies were mandated from the top.…”

AbstractFiscal disparity leads to a yardstick bias, in that incumbents in fiscally-rich jurisdictions can provide more public goods, extract more rents and yet have a higher probability to be reelected. This study further emphasizes disparity among jurisdictions, not only in terms of fiscal resources but also of costs of rent appropriation. In a setting in which jurisdictions with a higher fiscal capacity have lower costs of rent appropriation whilst those with a lower fiscal capacity have higher costs of rent appropriation, the difference in costs of rent appropriation might moderate the bias caused by the fiscal disparity.

“…The balance of power between the central government and the regions also changed significantly after a policy of regional autonomy took effect from the beginning of 2001, shifting responsibility for a whole range of government functions -including the management of industrial relations -to the local level (see Aspinall and Fealy, 2003).…”

Indonesia's transition since 1998 from authoritarian developmentalism to democracy has had a fundamental effect on employment relations. Although the basic structure of the economy has not changed, the twin processes of democratisation and decentralisation have seen the return of a degree of political space not available in Indonesia since the 1950s. This transformation was underpinned by a shift in the balance between the primary logics of the state that has seen an enhanced emphasis on legitimation. It has reshaped expectations of workplace-level employment relations practice in the country's small formal sector and of trade unions' engagement with policy-making and electoral politics. This article traces the processes through which this transformation occurred and analyses both its successes and the ongoing challenges to more robust implementation of the country's industrial relations framework.

“…Indonesia, in this sense, has been transformed from a very centralized country to be one of the most decentralized in relatively short time [1]. This can be seen in the implementation of decentralization system, where the role of local government in development process has become key element, as power and authority have been delegated from central to local.…”

Abstract-The main purpose of this study is to present the quality of citizens participation in the process of local development in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. It is argued that four main aspects of participation namely access, awareness, control and benefit are the key in determining the quality of participation. By examining these four aspects, it is found that the quality of citizens participation in Kutai Kartanegara refers to placation leader, where the quality of participation at this level is just merely formalism. In other words, the government sets opportunity for dialogue with people to propose program in development process, but it just aims to gain support from the community without any burden to realize the proposed program.
