ABSTRACT
In the beginning of Soeharto’s period until the end of Soeharto’s period, Indonesia centralized the national regime. Indonesia determined to apply a policy of decentralization that became effective on January 1st, 2001. This essay would explain the failure of Indonesian decentralization, whereas this essay only has one area of focus, the failure of distribution of power. Why decentralization in Indonesia has failed? The main factor of this failure has been started in the first time Indonesia apply decentralization after 1998 tragedy whereas the end of Soeharto’s period and the end of centralized government.

Indonesia is too sudden to apply decentralized government, as the other state especially developing state need a transition phase to change their system from centralized regime to decentralized regime at that time. Owing to that, it enacts Indonesia immature in implementing the decentralization system. Therefore, the decentralization in Indonesia today is still unstructured and it gives lots of bad impacts to Indonesia. And decentralization which predicted can bring Indonesia become better is like a contradiction whereas it become a boomerang for Indonesia. As it enacts Indonesia not as good as expected or we can say Indonesia become worse than …show more content…

Given the size, and diversity of the country, enrollment rates varies from the highest in Java to the lowest in Papua. From that, can be seen that the public services in Indonesia is not growing equally. For fact that public services growth is slow we can see in health care. Indonesia had the lowest physician density (number of physician per 100.000 populations) within its ASEAN neighbors. Ratios of nurses and midwives are higher than

Diminish greediness and abuse of the powers so there will be order. Federalism on the other hand is, “...a system of government in which a written constitution divides power between a central government and regional or sub-divisional governments, Both types of government act directly upon the people through their officials and laws, (C. N. Trueman Federalism;2017)”. Our current president Mr. Rodrigo Duterte is proposing Federalism in the country, Philippines will be separated by regions and there will be a central government in The National Capital Region. Each region will have their representatives, the taxes are well separated. It is a great idea because given the fact that each region has their person thee will be higher possibility that the government can aid the needs every regions’ needs. Even though the regions are somewhat separated they can be an independent region, having their own laws under the Central Government’s policies. Each region could do their very best to develop their own place all of the regions will do improvements and it will of course affect the Central Government and it will boost the welfare of the people, economic growth and the nation’s

Entering the Early Independence Era, the Dutch’s role was getting weaker and replaced by the Japanese. However, the Japanese occupation had been just a while before they surrendered to the allies after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki City. Consequently, a power vacuum occurred in Indonesia that later used by the youth along with President Soekarno and the Vice President Mohammad Hatta to proclaim the independence of Indonesia as a state.
Decentralization belongs to many types, depending on the characteristics, policy implications and condition for success. Political, administrative, fiscal and market decentralization are the fundamental types of decentralization. There are different terms and words for defining the types of decentralization and there may also have various ways to operate them. However, the comprehensive approach is more vital than defining. It can be observed that every country has its own type of functioning decentralization and each local department may have unique combinations.
The notion of multicultural society seems particularly attractive to the scholars who studying the Indonesian. As the multicultural nation-state, according to Geertz (1983; Watson, 2006), Indonesia has more 300 ethnics and the largest multicultural nation-state. By the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity), the unity of Indonesia became a consensus for whole cultures which lived in Indonesia. Artificially, this unity was constructed by the main ethnic, Indonesia. Thus, the value of the nation state based on Javanese value. This artificial was imperishable by the New Order regime lead by Soeharto. As a Javanese, Soeharto develop the nation stability and also centralized its
Indeed, over 95% of democracies have implemented various forms of decentralization creating subnational governments sharing political, fiscal and administrative power with cen-tral governments (World Bank, 1999). Despite the wave of reforms in the recent past, it is in no a new phenomenon as such. The popularity and the long history of decentralization have brought unequalled research interests with it. However, to understand the underpinning of decentralization, it is of essence to firstly its concept.
In the past thirty years, globalization and market openness lead world to a better stage of wealth, however, it is inevitable that without government intervention this prosperity is concentrated in the hands of the small elite. The uneven of wealth distribution or the gap between the rich and the poor called economic inequality. This essay will argue that the government of Indonesia needs to introduce some policies to reduce economic inequality because economic inequality has no benefit at all, Indonesia is a democratic country which aims to improve public welfare, and Indonesia, with the rest of the world, wants to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It can lead to better representation. Each region is properly represented with designation of distinct regional opinions within federal decision making institutions. This is usually guaranteed by the specific structure of the Senate known as the Federal Second Chamber in a federal system of government. The welfare, interests and rights of the constituents in each region is properly represented. There is no doubt that every member or resident of a place will be well taken care of through proper representation.

There are many differing viewpoints emerging on why Indonesia has been a success while Thailand has been a laggard in democracy lately. This paper would only cover three of the possible reasons why this was the case, backed by existing literatures.
Indonesia is currently a democratic country with three tiers of government: central government; provincial government; and local government. At the lower level, there are 34 provinces and 508 (as of 2014) local governments. There are two types of local government across Indonesia: 1) Kabupaten (district), and 2) Kota (city). In the past (before Reformasi), provincial and local governments were simply an extension of the central government at the regional and local level. Government policies and programs were determined by central government. As the result, the Gubernur (Head of Province) and the Bupati/Walikota (Head of Kabupaten/Kota), directly appointed by the president, were
Indonesia contains over 60 registered labor unions, along with numerous more that are not formally recognized by the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower and Transmigrations (Ismar). Even though labor unions have existed in Indonesia for many years, it wasn’t until President Suharto stepped down from power in 1998 that labor unions were able to gain strength and fully progress. Throughout the years they have increased in both size and number and have continuously fought for higher wages and for better workers’ rights. Out of all the registered unions, there are four in particular that have the biggest influence. The first is the All–Indonesian Workers’ Union Confederation (KSPSI). This is the oldest union and the only one that was allowed for a
Since the beginning of the declaration of independence by Soekarno in 1945, Indonesia started to create its own political system. It started with the era of Soekarno as president with guided democracy. Then, after 5 years passed, the leaders thought that the political system should be change to parliamentary democracy. In this political system, it pointed the prime minister as the head of the government and the role of president as the head of the state.
