Mengembalikan Kepercayaan Publik Melalui Reformasi Birokrasi (Indonesian Edition)

Synopsis: Indonesia’s failure to discontinue the colonial legacy in the government's bureaucracy played a role in forming the image bureaucracy and officers who fail to transform themselves as the agent of service and change. The values, symbol and attitude of bureaucracy in our country tend to demonstrate their position as agent of power and status quo. The government's plan to formulate grand design and roadmap of bureaucracy reform has given new hope that the government is serious about transforming public bureaucracy as expected by the nation. Bureaucracy reform is expected to be the effective way to improve public trust by means of improving the credibility, policy and officers of government institution. Other than describing various issues faced by public bureaucracy in Indonesia - particularly those arise from interaction between the Weberian bureaucracy system and bad environment as well as strong paternalism culture, fragmented politic environment and weak civil society - the book also contributes idea on policy agenda to be included in the bureaucracy reform. Bureaucracy reform will work when public bureaucracy adds value to national efficiency, community welfare and social justice as well as becoming an agent of change. Under these conditions, public's trust towards bureaucracy institution and their elements can grow and strengthen. (http://www.gramediainternational.com/book/detail/9789792269840)
