“…25, passed in 1999 andimplemented in 2001. The enactment of these laws has changed Indonesia from a highly centralized state, with governance, planning, and fiscal management partially`deconcentrated' to provincial government offices, to a decentralized state with power over these responsibilities`devolved' to lower levels of government (Alm et al, 2001;Beier and Ferrazzi, 1998;Booth, 2003;Smoke and Lewis, 1996). From a policy perspective, successful decentralization rests on the assumption that citizens through their participation in civil society organizations will undertake many planning and service-delivery functions previously the responsibility of various levels of government.…”

Given the new decentralization legislation in Indonesia, citizen participation is an increasingly important factor in planning and development policies. Yet policymakers have inadequate information about the types of individuals likely to contribute their knowledge, time, and economic resources to the development process. This paper provides a background and conceptual framework for understanding citizen participation in community development as well as the related components of civil society and social capital in Indonesia. A series of logistic and ordinary least squares regression models are used to analyze the effect of individual demographic and socioeconomic characteristics on the likelihood of participation in community development. I conclude that participatory community development (1) restricts women's participation beyond the role of family caretaker, and (2) has a limited capacity to help the poor.

“…Sebaliknya, desentralisasi dan otonomi daerah justru membuat praktik penyelenggaraan pemerintahan di daerah menjadi lebih rumit. Desentralisasi dan otonomi daerah menciptakan kekuatan politik lokal yang baru, membuat relasi daerah menjadi lebih kompleks dan pada konteks tertentu melahirkan sejumlah praktik tata kelola pemerintahan yang kurang efisien (Beier & Ferrazzi, 1998;Carnegie, 2008;Ferrazzi, 2000;Hadiz, 2004;Ito, 2006).…”

“…Pemekaran yang secara normatif di maksudkan untuk mempermudah layanan sosial serta meningkatkan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan, harus kandas. Penyebabnya, desentralisasi membuat konflik antara elit lokal semakin kompleks (Beier & Ferrazzi, 1998;Comola & Mello, 2010;Hadiz, 2004). Terutama untuk konflik yang berlangsung dalam arena elektoral (Ito, 2006(Ito, , 2011.…”

The regional expansion of the Luwu Raya becomes campaign issue in the election for governor in South Sulawesi. Based on theory, regional expansion is an implementation of the transition of government from centralization to decentralization. Decentralization is a new chapter for the implementation of regional governance in Indonesia. This view believes that the ongoing transition will accelerate regional expansion, which in turn will contribute significantly to the performance of government in the regions. However, this study has a different opinion. The practice of decentralization does not easily support the regional expansion. Researchers focus on the relationship between elites and explore the dynamics between local elites in the discourse of regional expansion. This research took place in Luwu, South Sulawesi using a qualitative approach. The method of data collection was done through direct observation and interviews. Local leaders and elites who were involved either directly or indirectly became key informants. In addition, the data obtained from this study also comes from official government documents and reports, such as BPS periodical reports and official reports that have been released by several agencies. This article found that the planning for regional expansion was actually complicated after the transition of government administration. The practice of decentralization has not only changed the administrative implementation but also arrange political reforms that impact on the implementation of local politics. This research finds the phenomenon of the competition of political influence in electoral vote districts as a manifestation of local political practices that are intertwined with the issue of regional expansion.

“…Sidik (2000) describes the same thing, that decentralization is an instrument to achieve one of the goals of the state. Beier & Ferrazzi (1998) explain that regional autonomy is generally followed by fiscal decentralization policy, as an instrument in support of local public services with the transfer of funds to the regions. Decentralization is more likely to aspects of state administration (administration aspect) (Stewart, 1988;Pidie, 1997).…”
