“…The inertia over the pressure to revise new policies may also be based on consideration of the high costs of legislation. Thus, even amidst the stark evidence of policy failure, policymakers typically adopt a 'policy paradigm' that is highly resistant to change (Arena, 2017). This condition may be in line with other theories concerning the formulation of public policies, namely bounded rationality.…”

The convoluted issuance of permits for opening a new business or the daily process of running a business due to overlapping regulations is one of the reason for the government to take an alternative route in the form of the Omnibus Law, which can replace several rules at once. However, suppose that the alternative option through the omnibus law can work as expected, but it does not mean that every process will be appropriate with the applicable regulations. Using a qualitative approach, this study aims to analyze the fulfilment of open governance principles in omnibus law's promulgation process. Our analysis shows that Indonesia's omnibus law-making process in 2020 still ignores the principle of openness mandated under Law Number 12/2011. The government's neglectful attitude, especially concerning open data and open process, indicates that the government has not paid enough attention to the open governance principle.

This book critically examines and analyses the active role played by youthled social movements in pushing for change and promoting peacebuilding in Africa, and their long-term impacts on society.Africa's history is characterised by youth movements. The continent's youth populations played pivotal roles in the campaign against colonialism and, ever since independence, Africa's youth have been at the centre of social mobilisation. Most recently, social media has contributed significantly to a further rise in youth-led social movements. However, the impact of youth voices is often marginalised by patriarchal and gerontocratic approaches to governance, denying them the place, voice, and recognition that they deserve. Drawing on empirical evidence from across the continent, this book analyses the drivers and long-term impacts of youth-led social movements on politics in African societies, especially in the area of peacebuilding. Additionally, the book draws attention to the innovative ways in which young people continue to seek to re-engineer social spaces and challenge contexts that deny them their voice, place, recognition, and identity. This book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of social movement studies, youth studies, peace and conflict studies, history, political sciences, social justice, and African studies.

The majority of studies that examine political liberalization and democratization in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region concentrate on internal factors such as Islamic or patriarchal culture, oil rents, socio-economic structures and patrimonialism. This article argues instead that external factors under the cloak of aid represent one of the main dynamics impeding democratic transformation in the region, and precisely supports authoritarian regime consolidation. In this regard, Egypt can be described as a case of authoritarian stability in the post-2011 Arab Uprisings era in which politics and stability rather than democratization and/ or development agenda have become the main motive behind donor decisions hitherto. In this article, Egypt has been selected as a case study to illuminate how the increased hopes and dividends of democratic transition from the Arab Uprisings can swiftly turn into upholding authoritarian rule.
