Dynamics and Capacity of Local Parliaments in the Democratic Political System

by Dr. Agung Djojosoekarto

(in Indonesian language)

Both the development of a democratic political system and the implementation of decentralization in Indonesia have not succeeded yet. In many cases local parliaments even turned into bad models because they lack institutional structures and efficient strategies to guarantee their political influence. However, changes to the political system can only be made successfully if the development of local parliaments and decentralization policy go hand in hand. In order to achieve this status enormous efforts have to be made so that a functioning political "circle configuration" can be reached.
