Objective: The study examines how policy implementation, policy network management, and capacity building can help promote community enterprises in Thailand. Theoretical Framework: A theoretical approach has been used in this study. Concepts such as Small and Micro Community Enterprise Policies, Policy Networks, Policy Implementation, and Community Enterprise Management Potential have been considered. Method: This qualitative study examined how policy implementation, policy network management, and capacity building can help promote community enterprises in Thailand. Several government agencies and community enterprises were interviewed for the research. While community enterprise promotion policies are widely supported, there are challenges in tailoring them to local contexts and ensuring effective collaboration among stakeholders. Bottom-up and context-sensitive policymaking is needed, as well as stronger interorganizational coordination and data sharing mechanisms. Results and Discussion: The research highlights the importance of tailoring policies to local contexts, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, and addressing capacity building needs in a comprehensive manner to promote the success of community enterprises in Thailand. The findings offer guidance for policymakers and practitioners while also suggesting areas for further research to deepen understanding and inform future interventions. Research Implications: This study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of what it takes to promote community enterprises in Thailand and offers valuable guidance for policymakers and practitioners working to support community-based entrepreneurship. The findings underscore the importance of context-sensitive policies, strong collaboration among stakeholders, and a holistic approach to capacity building. Originality/Value: The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of what shapes community enterprise success in Thailand. This report offers policymakers and practitioners valuable insights into creating an enabling environment for community-based entrepreneurship.

“…A systematic review of studies of the privatization of former government monopoly alcohol sales found strong evidence that privatization leads to an increase in excessive alcohol consumption and related harm [42]. In New Zealand, not‐for‐profit trusts have been utilized to operate gaming machine gambling and retail alcohol sales for decades, and these trusts have provided significant funding for local community sports, education, arts and health services [43,44].…”

Background Few countries have developed detailed legislative proposals for legalizing cannabis. New Zealand recently released the Cannabis Legalization and Control Bill (CLCB) that will be the subject of a referendum in September 2020. Aims To assess the CLCB, drawing on emerging evidence from cannabis legalization overseas, public health research on alcohol and tobacco and the attempt to establish a regulated market for ‘legal highs’ in New Zealand. Discussion The CLCB proposes a strictly regulated commercial cannabis market that resembles the Canadian approach, but notably without on‐line sales or regional heterogeneity in retail distribution. The objective of the CLCB of lowering cannabis use over time appears at odds with the largely commercial cannabis sector that will focus on expanding sales. The CLCB includes provision for home cultivation and social benefit operators, but it is not clear what priority these operators will receive. A potency cap of 15% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for cannabis plants is included, and this is at the high end of black‐market cannabis. The proposed progressive product tax based on THC will be challenging to implement. There is no formal minimum price, but rather discretionary powers to raise the excise if the price drops too much. The CLCB includes a comprehensive ban on advertising, but non‐conventional on‐line promotion will be difficult to suppress. The central government cannabis authority is tasked with developing local retail outlet policies. We caution against the temptation to employ an interim regulatory regime following a positive referendum result, because a partially regulated market will expose users to health risks and undermine public support. Conclusions New Zealand’s Cannabis Legalization and Control Bill’s objective of reducing cannabis use via a commercial market will be challenging to achieve. The bill could be strengthened with formal minimum pricing, lower potency cap and greater clarity concerning social benefit operators and the role of local government.

“…One of the many demands of the community to the government is about the apparatus that is less friendly and less communicative (Corey dkk., 2022). One of the problems that is still widely complained about by the community is the licensing process (Alfandika & Muchetwa, 2019;Rychert & Wilkins, 2019).…”

Background. Licensing services for business actors or the public is one of the obligations that must be fulfilled by state administrators. Business actors and investors certainly really want fast and straightforward services and processes. The government as the licensing supervisor is the main legality for business actors. The function of licensing is to regulate activities that have the potential to cause disturbance to the public interest. The application procedure has strict policies but does not have to have a series of complicated processes. The government created a system in the form of Online Single Submission (OSS) to make it easier for business actors to manage business licences. The facilitator of the government in facilitating its implementation is assisted by the One-Stop Investment and Integrated Service Office. Purpose. The purpose of this research is to find out how the performance of the Investment Service and One Stop Integrated Services is and also to find out what obstacles occur in the field and how solutions are produced to solve various existing obstacles. Method. The research method in this study is to use qualitative methods and data collection methods using interview techniques to find out information from respondents. Results. The results of the discussion of this study indicate that the Investment and One-Stop Service Office has provided good and responsive service so that existing constraints can be resolved immediately. Conclusion. The Online Single Submission (OSS) system is implemented to accelerate business licensing at the Jepara Regency Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) as a public service facility under the Jepara Regency Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP). To obtain a commercial or operational business licence, it must start with registration through the OSS website.
