Reflection on Political Governance and Optimization of Village Governance

On April 25, the President of the Republic of Indonesia signed Law No. 3 of 2024 which is the second revision of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. A number of changes were made starting from the term of office of the village head to the rehabilitation fund. Despite this, the Village Law still faces serious challenges, especially development problems, corruption and poverty. APBN funds that have been disbursed to villages since 2015 have reached more than 600 trillion. Instead of making village residents prosperous, some of the funds have been stolen, leaving 10 percent of the poor in rural areas. So, how does the Village Law answer and overcome these various problems? For this reason, we respectfully invite researchers, teachers, bureaucrats, policy analysts, students, activists, certain other functional officials, and government observers to participate in the publication of Berstuurskunde this time by sending manuscripts (Indonesian/English), both field research results. or also literature studies related to reflections on government politics and optimizing village governance
