The Analysis on the Construction Direction of the Coordinated Action System of Natural Disaster Volunteers in China

From the perspective of collaborative governance, it is found that volunteers have become an indispensable force in the process of responding to disasters. However, due to the late start but rapid development of emergency volunteer service in China, the current emergency management system lacks a coordination mechanism to ensure the orderly participation of emergency volunteers in disaster rescue, and there are problems such as the lack of the concept of polycentric governance, the disorder of self-organized behavior, the lack of coordination within the system, the excessive emphasis on the gratuitous nature of public welfare, and the lag in the construction of laws and regulations.

Transboundary Water Governance through the Lens of International Relations

This article discusses power and institutional theory with a (neo-) realist and institutionalist lenses regarding water governance. The main question is: how do power and institutions interact in the regulation of transboundary waters across many geographic scales? The sub-questions provide insights into the differing roles of realist and institutionalist perspectives in international relations (IR) and transboundary water governance, as well as the combined effects of power and institutions. This article discusses key approaches in IR (realism, neo-realism, institutionalism and neo-institutionalism). It then discusses concepts of hydro-hegemony, water governance and institutions. Lastly, institutions and power are demonstrated using a mixed methodology. By moulding relevant features of both perspectives into a middle ground, followed by a conclusion.

Концепция развития местного самоуправления в условиях цифровой трансформации управления

State processes are currently regulated by conceptual strategizing, which means they rely on concepts of systematic, integrated, and consistent development in social and state spheres, e.g., municipal public administration. This research used theoretical generalizations, as well as constitutional and legal practice, to rationalize the need for a developmental concept of local government in the context of digital transformation. Acts of state strategic planning were classified according to subject and concept. Digitalization of management and local governance was described from the perspective of hierarchical subordination and strategic planning acts. The list of prospective goals and directions in the digital development of local government included: digitalizing the domestic agro-industrial complex; leveling the existing digital inequality; improving the financing of small and medium municipalities using digital systems and innovative technologies. The authors reviewed best foreign practices and modern approaches to standardization in the sphere of sustainable development concepts, which direct the regulation of local government development in the digital environment. They revealed some problematic issues of modern digital transformation of municipal government and prospective trajectories for local digital platforms.

Juridical Analysis of The Regulation of NIK as NPWP in The Taxation System in Indonesia

Entering the era of modernization, the government has introduced regulations regarding the use of the Population Identification Number (NIK) as the Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP). The purpose of this research is to determine the juridical analysis of the regulation of NIK as NPWP in the Indonesian tax system and to establish the ideal concept of integrating NIK as NPWP in the Indonesian tax system. The research method employed is a juridical-normative approach with a legislative perspective, conceptual approach, and literature study. The results of this research indicate that the regulation of NIK as NPWP will serve as a foundation for the profile of Individual Taxpayers (WP OP). The concept of integration will be carried out by the Minister of Home Affairs, who will provide population data and feedback data from users to the Minister of Finance, which will then be integrated into the tax database. As a result, cooperation will be established in the data management process to align and synchronize NIK with NPWP. This aligns with the concept of Collaborative Governance in achieving One Data Indonesia through the Harmonization of Tax Regulations Act (UU HPP).

Collective Security and the African Regional Integration

The end of the cold war and the marginalization of Africa, coupled with the vicious cycle of poverty, underdevelopment, disease and internecine conflicts are reasons for the aggressive support for African regional integration and security mechanism. Meanwhile, commitments to African regional integration have been constrained by a highly ambivalent critique of the colonial heritage of sovereignty, and unwilling to transfer any of such freedom to supra-national bodies. Yet this has the potential of enhancing their ability to coordinate the implementation of collective security. The objective of this research therefore is to place the relationship between the African regional integration and the efficacy of collective security within the region. The study adopted the Survey research design. The main instrument for data collection was structured questionnaires. The Spearman rank order correlation coefficient was used in testing the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that, there is a significant relationship between African regional integration and collective security/ effective deterrent to aggression, and also that, there is a significant relationship between the failure of African regional integration and the security dilemma confronting the region. The researcher therefore recommends that for the purpose of conflict management, the partnership between the UN and the AU, with its corresponding sub-regional organizations, should be akin to a pyramid. Regional security integration should rest on concepts of good governance, sound civil-military relations and commitments to democracy and human rights, and that regional security arrangements need to focus on modest measures for the prevention and containment of conflicts, rather than utopian ideas and complex institutional mechanisms.

Designing a Digital Environment to Support the Co-production of Public Services: Balancing Multiple Requirements and Governance Concepts

This paper investigates the challenges of designing a computer supported collaborative environment aimed at facilitating co-production processes, i.e., those collaborative processes between Public Administrations, private stakeholders and citizens that aim at the design of public services, their implementation, and their shared delivery to the community. We argue that, for such a digital platform, different types of socio-technical requirements should be considered, i.e., those related to governance models and associated collaboration dynamics; requirements that may emerge from the specific type of public service to design; as well as user and technical requirements common to all e-government platforms. This research informed the development and testing of a digital collaboration platform that offers guidance on how to organize a co-production initiative and a network of stakeholders, functionalities to support collaborative work, and enablers (in the form of reusable knowledge and digital resources) to perform the sequence of steps to produce a public service. The lessons learned from the iterative platform development process and a preliminary evaluation study conducted with three Public Administrations in different European countries pointed at specific functionalities that are perceived as most crucial and at different appropriation practices that depend on the organizational structure of the involved Public Administrations and related multi-stakeholder networks. The innovation that is brought about with respect to general-purpose platforms for computer supported cooperative work is represented by the operationalization of co-production processes, with step-by-step guidance and potential reuse (with adaptation) of ready to use resources and processes. Based on the results of our research, general guidelines are also proposed for the design of future digital platforms supporting co-production.

Do women have a say? A moderated mediation model's influence on the leverage policy toward corporate sustainable growth

PurposeExamining the role of women on board (WoB) toward corporate sustainable growth (CSG) through leverage policy (LP). This research also investigates the interaction effect of WoB and LP on improving CSG.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a moderated mediation model to examine the impact of WoB on CSG, mediated by LP. Data from 48 KEHATI IDX ESG Sector Leaders Index companies observed from 2015 to 2021 were analyzed using the structural equation model partial least square (SEM-PLS) Warp.PLS 8.0. The research applies instrumental variables (IV) to test and control endogeneity due to nonrandom sample selection.FindingsWe found evidence that LP acts as a full mediator between the presence of WoB and CSG. The presence of WoB plays a moderate role by slightly weakening the influence of LP on CSG. Furthermore, we obtained evidence showing that the relationship between WoB and CSG is J-curve-shaped, a nonlinear relationship related to critical mass. Where the WoB ratio is at least 8.35% or higher, it will increase CSG in companies that have implemented the concept of environment social governance (ESG) in Indonesia.Originality/valueThis model uses a moderated mediation model and J-curve analysis; there is an interaction between WoB and LP on different paths of the mediator to CSG. This model examines the role of WoB as a moderator of the effect of LP on CSG. A nonlinear J-curve test was conducted to determine the minimum level of WoB that can influence the increase of CSG.

Inspiration and Innovation of Informal Economic Governance under Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: Reconstruction of Street Vendor Governance Model in Fuyang City

Vallholder economy is an important driving force for urban economic and social development in the new era. Under the background of socialism with Chinese characteristics, through comparative research, empirical research, investigation and analysis, this paper concluded that the street vendor economy is informal, long-term and complex. For the governance of Chinese street vendors, we should learn from the theory, absorb foreign experience based on the national conditions and urban status, and find the breakthrough of governance from the root. Formulate “flexible” flexible policies, optimize space politics, divide and rule, break through the constraints of regularization, reconstruct and innovate the economic governance model of Chinese street vendors, and realize the “Sinicization of governance concept, local governance policy and contemporary governance model”. The research has enlightenment and reference significance for enriching the development of political economy theory, innovating the informal economic governance model and developing the informal economy in the new era.

Common conditions of use elements. Atomic concepts for consistent and effective information governance

Myriad policy, ethical and legal considerations underpin the sharing of biological resources, implying the need for standardised and yet flexible ways to digitally represent diverse ‘use conditions’. We report a core lexicon of terms that are atomic, non-directional ‘concepts of use’, called Common Conditions of use Elements. This work engaged biobanks and registries relevant to the European Joint Programme for Rare Diseases and aimed to produce a lexicon that would have generalised utility. Seventy-six concepts were initially identified from diverse real-world settings, and via iterative rounds of deliberation and user-testing these were optimised and condensed down to 20 items. To validate utility, support software and training information was provided to biobanks and registries who were asked to create Sharing Policy Profiles. This succeeded and involved adding standardised directionality and scope annotations to the employed terms. The addition of free-text parameters was also explored. The approach is now being adopted by several real-world projects, enabling this standard to evolve progressively into a universal basis for representing and managing conditions of use.

Are cities genuinely healthy? Diagnosis of urban development from the perspective of adaptive capacity

As urban diseases continue to emerge with the acceleration of urbanization, the transformation of urban governance concepts and systems must be urgently promoted. In dealing with the complex systemic problem of city governance, the concept of adaptation in complex adaptative system (CAS) theory has shown obvious advantages. This approach provides a new perspective for solving this problem in the face of the unprecedented complexity of current disasters. However, research on urban adaptation is currently hindered by imprecise terminology, significant bias, and insufficient empirical evidence. This study reinterprets the concept of urban adaptation in conjunction with CAS theory. The formula for the functional expression of urban adaptation is derived using dissipative structure theory. Indicators are then selected to describe the system of urban adaptive capacity. An adaptive decision support framework is established that covers 29 quantitative and 8 qualitative indicators. The adaptive performance of 12 sample cities is analyzed. Finally, this study provides corresponding planning paths for optimizing urban adaptation based on the evaluation results. The research findings can assist city managers in comprehending the actual situation of cities and provide a basis for formulating targeted governance programs.

Children’s rights organizations in Sweden and their relation to public child welfare

ABSTRACT This paper presents a mapping of the Swedish children’s rights organizations (SCROs) and an analysis of how these organizations relate to public child welfare. SCROs represent a children’s rights discourse and are active as voice and service producers in the field of social work with vulnerable children. It can be presumed that SCROs affect public child welfare and by extension vulnerable children in need of support. This warrants a mapping of the SCROs and an examination of their organizational and professional space in regard to public child welfare. In total, 22 SCROs were found through internet searches (keywords e.g. ‘children’s rights’, ‘organization’, ‘association’ and ‘commitment’) and categorized based on a qualitative content analysis of the organizations’ websites. Seven SCROs operating on a domestic level are analysed in regard to their provided voice and service efforts. The findings suggest that there has been a growth in the number and activities of SCROs. Based on critical children’s rights studies and the concept of child rights governance, the ideological shift from child protection to children’s rights among these organizations is discussed. The rhetoric of SCROs implies a positioning of public child welfare as an ultimate duty bearer, while the organizations take on an expert role. Furthermore, SCROs appear to assume the role of child rights advocates. From a critical perspective, the children’s rights discourse brought forward by SCROs involves a juridification that risks to polarize the relation between children and public child welfare as well as undermining the legitimacy of public child welfare.

To Approve or not to Approve? A Comparative Analysis of State-Company-Indigenous Community Interactions in Mining in Canada and Sweden.

This Special Section explores the interplay between Indigenous peoples, industry, and the state in five proposed and active mining projects in Canada and Sweden. The overall aim is to identify factors shaping the quality of Indigenous community-industry-state interactions in mining and mine development. An ambition underlying the research is to develop knowledge to help manage mining related land-use conflicts in Sweden by drawing on Canadian comparisons and experience. This paper synthesizes the comparative research that has been conducted across jurisdictions in three Canadian provinces and Sweden. It focuses on the interplay between the properties of the governance system, the quality of interaction and governance outcomes. We combine institutional and interactive governance theory and use the concept of governability to assess how and why specific outcomes, such as mutually beneficial interaction, collaboration, or opposition, occurred. The analysis suggests there are measures that can be taken by the Swedish Government to improve the governability of mining related issues, by developing alternative, and more effective, avenues to recognize, and protect, Sámi rights and culture, to broaden the scope and increase the legitimacy and transparency of the EIAs, to raise the quality of interaction and consultation, and to develop tools to actively stimulate and support collaboration and partnerships on equal terms. Generally, we argue that Indigenous community responses to mining must be understood within a larger framework of Indigenous self-determination, in particular the communities' own assessments of their opportunities to achieve their long-term objectives using alternative governing modes and types of interactions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AS A FRAMEWORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF FAMILY BUSINESSES, BETWEEN CHALLENGES AND STAKES, WITH REFERENCE TO SOME ARAB EXPERIENCES

This study aims to introduce family businesses and the effective role of governance in improving the company's vision based on agreedupon family values by emphasizing the importance of applying governance in family businesses and identifying the most important steps necessary for the governance of successful companies within family businesses, Regardless of their qualities, family business frequently face challenges in applying governance concepts and procedures. Similar to other businesses, family business must use governance practices in order to maximize their resources, draw in foreign investment, attain sustainable growth, enhance their performance, and ultimately support economic development. The research also mentioned several Arab experiences with family company governance, such asAlgeria, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The most significant findings indicated that it is challenging to create efficient regulations and a governance framework in family business and that certain Arab nations lack knowledge about governance procedures. The study also offered a number of recommendations, the most significant of which are as follows: The need to create a family constitution that includes laws and regulations that make it easier for Arab families to run their businesses while protecting the rights of shareholders; employing more generations of the family within the parameters of the business; allowing family members to share in

Corporate governance through the lens of Islam: A comparative review and analysis

Corporate governance is a set of relationship between a company’s boards, its shareholders, and other stakeholders as well as provides the structure and mechanism through which the objectives of the company are set and the means for attaining those objectives and monitoring performance are determined. The concept of corporate governance (CG) has gained critical interest and has become a debating point since the mid-1980s. It became an aspect of concern when the corporate world became aware of the importance of protecting the rights of all stakeholders. This paper critically reviews the existing literature on Islamic Corporate Governance (ICG), presents a basic understanding of Islamic Corporate Governance (ICG) and compares the Islamic concept of Corporate Governance to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development principles. The study reveals that the Islamic system of governance encourages and promotes the ethical norms of transparency and honesty in every business transaction.

Membangun Kapasitas Tata Kelola Pengawasan Ketenagakerjaan Bidang Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3)

The issue of implementing national K3 labor inspection includes two main aspects, namely governance and capacity building. The two main issues relate to weak awareness of the importance of implementing OSHMS in the workplace, weak understanding of K3 as part of human rights, weak criminal sanctions related to K3, relatively low coverage of K3 supervision, overlapping technical K3 regulations between institutions, weak quality, quantity and competence of K3, as well as the lack of synergy and integration of the operational supervision system between the central and regional governments. The author analyzes empirical data and reviews previous research using a systematic flow prism framework, and juxtaposes it with the fundamental theoretical concepts of governance, capacity building and labor inspection. The results of the analysis produce a hypothetical framework for building capacity for labor inspection governance in the K3 sector. This requires strategic intervention in human resource capacity, organizations and institutions, as well as governance that needs to be jointly constructed on the basis of an agreement on the principle of joint involvement. So, during the management and implementation process, each stakeholder/actor can be adaptive, the system and implementation of supervision can be more effective and efficient, where continuity and feedback from the accumulated process can reduce the impact and influence of uncertainty and the dynamics of a dynamic workforce environment.

Prevention and Control Strategies of Network Mass Incidents in Colleges and Universities from the Perspective of Cooperative Governance

The frequent occurrence of network mass incidents has posed new requirements and challenges to the governance capabilities of colleges and universities. However, the traditional management model of network mass incidents in colleges and universities has limitations in terms of management boundaries, subject status and participation, prevention and remedy. Introducing the concept of cooperative governance and constructing a cooperative governance model for network mass incidents in colleges and universities can effectively solve the current governance dilemma. This requires the cooperation of all parties to achieve a governance structure of "one core, multiple elements" for network mass incidents in colleges and universities, and improve the effectiveness of governance through cooperation, establish a sound mechanism for the balance of subject rights and responsibilities, information disclosure, expression and response of appeals, dialogue and negotiation, trust and supervision, so as to realize the transformation and upgrading of the handling of online mass incidents in universities from "traditional management" to "cooperative governance".

Exploring sustainable urban governance: Evolving dynamics, transitions, and ambiguities

ABSTRACT In the context of rapid urbanization and urban sprawl, growing concerns about sustainability in urban governance have come to the forefront. The study employed exploratory bibliometric analysis to examine the literature on sustainable urban governance and critically investigate how sustainability is complexly woven into urban governance as a multidimensional phenomenon. The paper addresses the existing literature gaps, including contextual challenges and inadequate theoretical-methodological underpinnings, by analyzing 2,194 scholarly outputs. We propose a “sustainable urban governance framework” that rationalizes contextual justifications (at the macro-meso-micro and interlevel) by synthesizing the concept of good urban governance, interlinks of sustainability dimensions, and multilevel governance systems. Sustainable urban governance is defined in this study as a process and system that creates harmonious coexistence among urban settings’ ecological and social strata through integrating rationalized contextual justifications, collective sustainability objectives, and inclusive urban resilience plans.
