Abstract
Together with decentralization and assistance tasks (medebewind), deconcentration constitutes basic principles in managing central-local government relationships. From a historical point of view, the degree of deconcentration and decentralization has been up and down. Until recently, there is no single belief among Indonesian experts and officials regarding the best form of deconcentration. Therefore, deconcentration continues to transform and still searching for its best formula. Under such consideration, this paper tries to tracking back the history of deconcentration and its limitations. Before coming to conclusion, it proposes four agendas to recover the implementation of deconcentration in Indonesia, i.e. clarifying the position of the head of region, improving the election system, redesigning the deconcentration affairs and authorities, and explicating goals of decentralization and deconcentration.
