Digital Leadership in Realizing Bureaucratic Reform in the South Sulawesi Provincial Government

Bureaucratic reform efforts over the years have yet to yield optimal results, leaving government bureaucracy associated with pathologies such as corruption, collusion, nepotism (KKN), slow service performance, and an inability to meet public satisfaction. Digital leadership among heads of local government agencies is expected to contribute significantly to achieving bureaucratic reform. This study aims to analyze the role of digital leadership in facilitating bureaucratic reform in South Sulawesi Province and to formulate a digital leadership model for effective bureaucratic reform. The research employs digital leadership theory as outlined by Klein (2020), which encompasses business characteristics, attitudinal characteristics, and general characteristics, serving as the analytical framework to assess the state of digital leadership among local government leaders in South Sulawesi. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive method, with primary data collected through observations and interviews with key informants. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The findings conclude that: 1) Not all local government leaders possess effective digital leadership skills, which results in suboptimal contributions to bureaucratic reform. This is evident through the evaluation of business characteristics, attitudinal characteristics, and general characteristics that have yet to support reform in institutional structuring, administrative processes, human resource management, and service delivery. 2) The researcher formulated the “S4P Digital Leadership Model,” developed from Klein’s (2020) digital leadership model, which is believed to contribute to more effective bureaucratic reform. The novelty of this model lies in the incorporation of local wisdom dimensions—Sipakatau, Sipakalebbi, Sipakinge, and Sirri na Pacce—as well as digital leadership prerequisites such as digital literacy, innovation, and collaboration. This comprehensive, contextually relevant, and responsive model can be implemented across different regions in Indonesia, utilizing local cultural values as guiding principles for governance and public service delivery.

The Shift from Paradiplomacy to Protodiplomacy: A Comparative Study of Catalonia and Kurdistan

This article explored the transition from paradiplomacy to protodiplomacy in Catalonia and Kurdistan, two regions at the forefront of this shift. Protodiplomacy involves the direct participation of subnational entities in diplomatic activities akin to those of recognized nation-states, challenging traditional diplomatic hierarchies and altering the global diplomatic landscape. Catalonia has greater autonomy in matters such as governance and economy, while Kurdistan has more limited autonomy in matters such as security and governance. As such, this research showed that paradiplomacy could serve as a means to increase regional engagement in international politics. This research provided an in-depth analysis of how the South Sulawesi Provincial Government's paradiplomacy initiative impacts the export of agricultural products to Egypt. Through a comparative analysis of Catalonia and Kurdistan, this study elucidated the motivations, consequences, and challenges associated with this transition. It emphasized the significance of effective paradiplomacy practices between central and local governments. Catalonia and Iraqi Kurdistan exemplified modern paradiplomacy, showcasing their capabilities on an international stage. The research identified high Iraqi Kurdish nationalism as a key driver of the shift towards protodiplomacy in Kurdistan. It also highlighted the internal structural factors within Iraq that propelled Iraqi Kurdistan's diplomatic efforts, culminating in a referendum that marked a peak in separatist interest. This research underscored the dynamic nature of protodiplomacy, highlighting the motivations behind subnational diplomatic endeavors and the transformative implications for central-local government relations.

Key findings indicated that South Sulawesi engages in global paradiplomacy, functioning as a facilitator to enhance export performance. Effective promotional strategies identified included personal selling, public relations through webinars and training sessions, and participation in trade exhibitions. By applying the concept of global diplomacy, the Government of South Sulawesi Province can use its autonomy to establish trade relations and expand market access to Egypt, thereby improving the export performance of local agricultural products. The research highlights the crucial role of regional governments in boosting agricultural exports through infrastructure development and service improvements. By adopting global paradiplomacy, the South Sulawesi Government has successfully established trade relations and expanded market access to Egypt, resulting in a notable increase in agricultural export volumes. This study underscores the significant positive contributions of paradiplomacy to regional economic growth through international trade expansion.

Unraveling The Complexity of Urban Vulnerability: Challenges And Strategies In Addressing Social Urban Problem In South Sulawesi

Street children, homeless individuals, and beggars are intricate societal issues that predominantly manifest in urban regions, especially the urban areas of South Sulawesi. The South Sulawesi Provincial Government and the district/city governments in urban areas have implemented policies to address the issue of street children, homeless individuals, and beggars. However, these policies have not been effectively implemented and have not had a significant impact on addressing the problem in urban areas of South Sulawesi. The provincial and district/city administrations in South Sulawesi have four problems in addressing this social issue: family dysfunction, program limits, community involvement, and limited institutional capability. In South Sulawesi, the provincial and district/city administrations in metropolitan areas oversee inter-regional coordination plans and implement preventive, curative, and rehabilitative program strategies to address the issue of street children, beggars, and homeless individuals.

The Role of Interest Groups in Improving the Quality of Public Policy (Case Study of Minimum Wage Policy in South Sulawesi Province)

The issue of the provincial minimum wage has always been confronted with the interests of who is excluded from a number of directly related interest groups. Trade union groups highlighted issues related to the minimum wage, namely around the issue of increasing nominal wages in relation to decent living conditions every year experiencing an increase in the inflation index. On the other hand, employer groups encourage the creation of business sustainability with minimal labor salary costs. These two issues always have conflicts in the process of determining the minimum wage policy of South Sulawesi Province regarding how interest groups contribute to the minimum wage policy. To answer these problems, argumentative qualitative research methods are used, focusing on the role of interest groups (Trade Union Groups and Employer Groups) in encouraging the formation of quality minimum wage policies, acceptable to all parties. The case of the process of determining the minimum wage policy for South Sulawesi Province in 2022 carried out in the Wage Council forum is the focus and locus of this research. The interactive single case analysis method was used to analyze the data of interest group debates in the Wage Board forum. The results showed that the ability between interest groups in the process of formulating provincial minimum wage policies, tends to differ in exerting pressure and influence on the minimum wage policy posture. Employers tend to use the power of lobbying and negotiation processes in wage board forums, while union groups tend to use the media of demonstrations and intimidation of worker group members. The ability to negotiate in the Wage Council forum has a real impact on the acceptance of policy proposals by the South Sulawesi provincial government authorities. The cohesiveness of interest groups is observed to have a positive effect on the sustainability of the struggle for policy ideas in policy forums, where trade union groups are still fragmented compared to employer groups. In the end, the decision on the provincial minimum wage policy was decided by considering the majority of views of the employer group with an increase of about 6.9% from the previous year's minimum wage.

Comparison of Negative Binomial Regression Model and Geographically Weighted Poisson Regression on Infant Mortality Rate in South Sulawesi Province

The number of infant mortality cases is an important indicator to assess the quality of a country's public health. A number of studies argue that the case of infant mortality has a close relation to the living area condition and the social status of the parents. Indirectly, the quality of life of babies in a country will impact the nation's quality of life in general. Therefore, many efforts are required to reduce the infant mortality in Indonesia. One of the steps that could be done to overcome this issue is to analyze the causative factors. The statistical method that has been developed for data analysis taking into account current spatial factors is the Geographically Weighted Poisson Regression (GWPR) with a weighted Bisquare kernel function. Based on the partial estimation with the GWPR model, there are seven groups based on significant variables that affect the number of infant deaths in South Sulawesi Province. Of the seven groups formed, the first group is the Selayar Islands where all variables have a significant effect. This needs to be a concern for the South Sulawesi provincial government to improve facilities and infrastructure in the Selayar Islands, of course the location which is very far from the city center can affect access to drug reception, medical personnel and so on. Based on the results of the analysis of the factors that affect the number of infant deaths in South Sulawesi Province using a negative binomial regression approach and GWPR with a bisquare kernel weighting, it can be concluded that the GWPR model used is the best for analyzing the number of infant deaths in South Sulawesi Province because it has an AIC value. The smallest is 167.668.
