implementing financial management reforms in indonesia: the significance of within-country variability

17/1/2019

Many commentators have questioned the suitability of New Public Management
reforms for developing countries, citing a disjunct between existing conditions,
and the requirements for successful implementation of the reforms. However, few
studies have considered the impact of within-country variability on implementation
outcomes. In order to explore this question, we investigated the implementation
of financial management reforms in four different governance settings within
Indonesia. Despite a common implementation approach, we found that outcomes
differed markedly between these sites, suggesting the importance of contextual
factors within the one country, as well as the significance of implementation-related
variables.

LEADERSHIP AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT EFFECTIVENESS: A FRAMEWORK FOR ANALYSIS

Leadership is viewed as essential to good governance practice, yet what is our
understanding of its impact on innovations and failures in development at the
local government level? While a number of theories of leadership exist to analyze
the performance of leaders in the private sector, these theories are yet to be used
to systematically analyze political leaders at a local government level in developing
nations. This article suggests that the full-range framework for leadership is a
useful tool to analyze political leadership and provide insight into whether there
is a distinctive leadership style or combination of styles that are needed for effective
leadership in local government. It reviews relevant leadership literature and
provides examples of local government leaders from the Philippines and Indonesia
that would benefit from analysis using the full range framework.

The Cambodian rice industry has recently experienced fast upgrading. This is
evident in the increasing amount of milled rice exports to international markets.
This study aims at examining how and what factors have affected the upgrading
of the Cambodian rice industry by applying the concept of value chain governance
and examining the role of institutional support, especially that of government.
Primary interviews and questionnaire surveys involved 119 respondents, including
rice millers, exporters and other key industry stakeholders while a wide range of
secondary data sources were consulted. The study reveals that two major factors
affected the upgrading: (1) value chain governance, which refers to the power
relations among actors, and (2) institutional supports, including government
actions on policy and directives and its, facilitation of access to finance, market
development and capacity building of exporters. The success of the upgrading
can be seen as an example of public-private collaboration.

MODELLING INVESTMENT IN NATURAL GAS INFRASTRUCTURE: AUSTRALIA AND SWEDEN IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE

17/1/2019

José Alberto Hernández Ibarzábal
University of Pompeu Fabra Spain


This article constructs a model of the natural gas sector and then applies it to
analyze the cases of Sweden and Australia over the 2000-10 period. This qualitative
case comparison is focused on the multidimensional and multidisciplinary process
surrounding financial (or private) investment in natural gas infrastructure with
special emphasis on institutional conditions, regulatory governance and
regulatory, energy and energy tax policies. The main objectives are to test a model
that could be generalized to other countries and infrastructures; to generate
knowledge in these areas on a theoretical level; and to present a comparison of
two case study countries.
