For more equitable and democratic development, in 1999 Indonesia adopted a decentralized system by giving autonomy to local governments to govern and manage their regions. However, there are many problems occur, the 2017 regional economic governance report states that since 2001, 30% of local regulations have been problematic, this has caused stunted regional economic growth, ineffective resources distribution management, even the potential of corruption and abuse of authority. These challenges motivate me to be able to contribute more to solving the problem, and by majoring in governance and public policy can bring me closer to achieving that goal.
My experience as a policy planner has given me a strong foundation to succeed in my chosen courses. I directly involved in defining national priorities and budgets and participated in various forums that discuss the technocratic, political and participatory process as an important element in formulating public policy. I have also been involved in the formulation of regional government work plans, in order to help to synchronize central and regional policies. My background as a bachelor of communication science also helped me to understand the importance of interaction and coordination among government institutions, where overlapping roles often create bottlenecks between decision-makers.
My first choice is the University of Manchester, MSc in Governance and Public Policy. This course will give me the competence of the concepts and practices of contemporary governance and policymaking and the relationship between the state and citizens. Spell out the challenges of public policy governance through modules such as regulation analysis; surveillance; de-politicization; the democratic and legitimacy, including new forms of political participation. I can learn a lot about the implementation of decentralization in the UK where applying the localism bill to facilitate the devolution of decision-making powers from central government control to individuals and communities.
My second choice, MA Politics, Governance and Public Policy from the University of Sheffield. With the module structured to offer me with a deeper analysis of how public policies are applied in the democratic system and will acquire me a detailed practical understanding of the political, economic and social drivers that shape the policy process. I will learn from scholars like Professor Matthew Flinders that focus on following issues such as de-politicization, governance and public policy, legislative studies, and decentralization that are closely in line with my study objectives.
My third choice is an MA in Government, Development and Public Policy from the University of Sussex. This course will give me the competence to explore the whole process of public policy from the big picture of democracy and political economy. There are modules that are aligned with my interests such as public financial management which explores the behavior of the state through the lens of public finances, how to optimize domestic resources and prioritize and allocate resources in ways that deepen democracy, managing macroeconomic balances, and pursuing efficiency and distribution.
