IAPA 2023 Annual International Conference

KnE Social Sciences / IAPA 2023 Annual International Conference

This special issue contains selected papers from the Indonesian Association for Public Administration Annual International Conference held in Padang, Indonesia on 26th-27th October 2023. This event was hosted by the Indonesian Association for Public Administration in collaboration with the Faculty of Social and Political Science, Universitas Andalas.

The conference was held to investigate the role of New Public Governance (NPG) models on Indonesia’s public administration systems. By bringing together leaders in the field, the conference explored this new model as a potential solution for the country’s strained public sector and social inequalities.

This KnE Social Sciences issue contains 48 peer-review articles on collaborative governance, state and non-state partnerships, and the impact of public administration on the fabric of society. As a middle-income country, Indonesia maintains a vibrant democratic system that serves to support its multi-ethnic population to the best of its capacity. Scholars in this issue analyse the different means by which the country has managed to achieve such status in an otherwise turbulent world by exploring its adoption of the NPG model of governance and working to increase collaboration between state and non-state actors. Researchers explore the impact of this model on a variety of social issues, including women’s empowerment, tourism, the role of digitalisation on societies, and immigration policies. 

These articles will be of interest to academics, students or professionals researching or working on technology adoption, public administration, public policy and political sciences, governance, economics, development, sociology, and communications.
