Institutional Effects of Changes in Political Attention: Explaining Organizat…

All democratic countries have ministries for issues like foreign affairs, defense, transportation, education, and social affairs. Yet, we know little about what determines the number and issue content of ministries. Why do some policy issues have their own ministry while others do not and when are new ministries created? The article offers a theoretical argument for how creation and termination…

A Conceptual Framework for Analysis of Goal Ambiguity in Public Organizations

Prominent authors have claimed that government organizations have high levels of goal ambiguity, but these claims have needed clarification and verification. We discuss the complexities of organizational goals and their analysis, and review many authors’ observations about public agencies’ goal ambiguity and its good and bad effects. Then, we propose a conceptual framework to organize and make …

This Could Be the Start of Something Big: Linking Early Managerial Choices wi…

The influence of early events in the history of a country, a social phenomenon, or an organization on later developments has received significant attention in many social science disciplines. Often dubbed “path dependence,” this influence occurs when early events influence later outcomes even when the original events do not reoccur. “Path dependence,” however, has received little theoretical or…

Lanskap otonomi daerah : analisa dan kritik

Sejak awal, hadirnya UU No. 32/2004 sudah terlihat betapa pihak yang paling diuntungkan adalah elit lokal dan nasional.
