Transparency International defines corruption as ?the abuse of entrusted power [which is entrusted by public] for private gain?. This paper will analyze the corruption habits from the perspective of virtue ethics. It will start with Manuel Velasquez?s analysis of the practice of corruption in the so-called ?neopatrimonialism? type of political culture, which Indonesia being a case in point. Neopatrimonialism consists of a mixture between modern bureaucratic administration and the old patrimonial communalism. In terms of the communal perspective, what Transparency International calls ?corruption? is compatible with the beneficence principle. But, according to the norm of bureaucratic administration, it violates the non-maleficence principle. To uproot corruption, this paper will discuss Amartya Sen?s concept of the ethics of impartiality, in which human being should extend the circle of moral recipients. read more

The big sustainability issues confronting global, national and local communities demand integrated approaches in research, policy and action. That need is advanced in scholarly literature, official policy statements, and the way in which positive actions are pursued by public, private, civil society and community organisations. We must integrate knowledge, policy and actions across environmental, social and economic domains to seek an ecologically sustainable and humanly desirable future. That is an enormous task, two aspects of which I will discuss. read more

Nagari Singkarak Kubuang Tigo Baleh Minangkabau society has a unique tradition of customary wedding. As a part of the Minangkabau society, they conduct two models of the tradition of wedding, namely; alek ketek (small party) and alek gadang (big party). Alek ketek ceremony can be done in a simple way, but the alek gadang ceremony is full of complicated arrangements. People who conduct the tradition of alek gadang must do the custom rules correctly. This complicated model of customary wedding is only practiced by Nagari Singkarak Minangkabau?s society, and not by other people, although its neighborhood villages. Interestingly this wedding tradition implementation is still upheld by the local community. The wedding situation reflects the community capability level of Nagari Singkarak in determining alek. It creates the layers of the specified social level, upper and lower. Community groups who determine alek gadang, they choose social strata which will occupy a higher level than those who determine alek ketek ceremony. read more

The quality of teachers in Sumatra and Java is generally low, particularly in terms of their creativity and innovation in teaching. It is built by the lack of teacher?s preparation and the lack of communication between parents and teachers. The excellence of elementary teacher in Sumatra and Java is the using of tools and examples in facilitating students in ?understanding teachers and teaching materials’. The awareness of the absence of students in class is also become an indicator as well. The quality of primary school teachers in Java is generally better than in Sumatra, especially in terms of creativity and innovation of teaching and concern for student attendance. Meanwhile, the quality of elementary school teachers in Sumatra is good in terms of allocation of time for teaching preparation. Human capital and social capital as an important capital improvement of the quality of teachers has not been fully utilized by the teacher, caused by the low education and training accounts for the poor quality of teachers. Meanwhile the income and experience of teachers do not have a significant impact on the quality of teachers, especially elementary teachers in Sumatra. Social networks are institutionalized in the form of KKG are not utilized to improve quality. The poor dedication and the norms of teacher resulted preparation teachers teach in poor quality. read more

Humans are social beings who require interaction with others in order to survive. In the process of interaction among people, which is then called as ‘community’, it needs the role of government as regulatory authorities. The Government is expected to perform its role and function professionally, therefore along with the rapidly changing environment the government is required to always make innovations on its concept to serve the community. One of the innovations made by the government of Yogyakarta City to serve its residents is the establishment of Information and Complaint Service Unit (UPIK). It is a unit which plays a role as information technology-based communication media that can be accessed by public to ask for information and to voice their aspirations, feedbacks, criticism and complaints. This unit is the implementation of good governance program in enhancing national resilience. Good governance entails sound public sector management (efficiency, effectiveness and economy), accountability, the exchange and free flow of information (transparency) and a legal framework for development (justice, respect for human rights and liberties). It has been shaped by three main models, which are: (a) public administration; (b) public management; and (c) governance. While public administration can be defined as all the processes, organizations and individuals associated with carrying out laws and other rules adopted or issued by the legislature, executive and courts, public management is a global reform movement that redefines the relationship between government and society. In this administration element, the state is considered of how they provide services to their citizens. The Good Governance?s scope could not be separated from the conception of national resilience where political and economic aspects are two of eight gatras (principal) of national resilience. Based on the administrative aspect, all gatras in national resilience require good management, transparency, and accountability in accordance with the principles of good governance. So that, it cannot be denied that the administrative aspect plays an important role in realizing the national resilience of a country. On the other hand, considering that a state is administratively divided into smaller regions (provinces), the national resilience of one country also highly depends on the national resilience of each province. Therefore, the administration management is very important in achieving the province?s resilience in which it will support the national resilience of a country. read more

In 2009, Budy Resosudarmo and Frank Jotzo wrote about the challenges of fighting poverty in the Nusa Tenggara Timur through sustainable policies. Environmental pressures and degradation present significant limitations to socio-economic development, vulnerability and adaptation measures. Even when new mentalities in terms of sustainability and community based resource management guide many of these goals and efforts, at the local scale implementations result in the failure or partial completion of objectives. In this article, I discuss the institutional and socio-cultural contexts that explain policies to incentivize marine resource use and extraction among small scale fisheries in Ende, Flores, Indonesia. I also discuss the plans that are being developed by NGOs and by the provincial government to introduce alternative livelihood programs. The Ende regency has experienced irregular intensification of its fishing effort over the last twenty years resulting in the entrenchment of inequality and wealth distribution in coastal villages. It has also become, next to socio-economic and environmental uncertainty, a pressure that has paradoxically prevented the eradication of non sustainable fishing techniques like dynamite and cyanide fishing. Through ethnographic (participant observation, interviews) and ecological tools, I analyze how decentralization, isolation and corruption impede real co-participatory mechanisms from being developed at the local level. The lack of political agency, external mining pressures and the absence of economic opportunities converge in migration and further pauperization. I conclude by underscoring the importance of a political ecology approach to the study of conservation policies and climate change adaptation measures. read more
