Abstract
Have we exhausted supply-side solutions to bridging the "digital divide?" The evidence suggests we may have, according to the four authors of this article. Comparing Canadian and American broadband penetration data, they find that eliminating the "availability gap" is a necessary but not sufficient condition to solving the adoption gap. An analysis of citizens' reasons for non-adoption suggests a basis for more emphasis on demand-side policies, especially with respect to low income, disadvantaged, or uncertain users.

As part of a human rights education campaign, the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee fixed 700.000 posters throughout Bangladesh. This met with opposition from the religious organisations. This paper investigates the nature and cause of the backlash and sets out strategies for how development organisations can achieve their objectives in the face of opposition. It was concluded that development organisations should pre-empt such opposition by spelling out their objectives to potential critics, and formulating programmes that do not provide scope for opponents to undermine their development activities.

This article described the various phenomena of violations by the State Civil Apparatus in the momentum of the democratic party in Indonesia and aimed to determine the extent to which Malay Cultural Values can maintain the neutrality of the State Civil Apparatus. This study used an exploration-oriented literature review method. Then, data were obtained through documentation techniques by reviewing and exploring several journals, books, and other related documents.

Government efforts to support food security have been made through various potentials in the agricultural sector, such as sago development as a locally-based alternative food source. However, the facts show that sago can only be used as a second staple food and requires adequate local government capacity in its development. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Data collection techniques used are documentation techniques in journals, proceedings, books, government websites, and online news related to various government strategies in developing sago. The results showed that the Meranti Islands Government had socialized the "One Day With Sago" program in knowledge and skills dimensions. However, due to insufficiently accommodated socialization, this program was less effective in changing the surrounding communitys lifestyle. Second, local governments ability in the technical system dimension is already running well; increased sago production shows this. Third, in the managerial system dimension, the local government has designated Meranti as a sago cluster and supports the sago development program budgeted through central, provincial, and district funds. Fourth, in the dimensions of values and norms, every organization that handles agricultural affairs has a good understanding of the sago development policys direction and objectives in the Meranti Islands.

This article aims to analyze the relationship between the teacher and the congregation of the Naqsabandiyah in local political action and their relationship with local political elites. This study uses a qualitative approach that aims to interpret a case that will be carefully examined and analyzed using periodic descriptive analysis methods. The results of this study indicate that the pattern of relations between teachers and congregation of the Naqsabandiyah groups in local political action in Rokan Hulu Regency tends to be more accommodating to the authorities, where the political orientation of this group has undergone a transition from traditional to rational action with its own political choices. Then, the relationship between the group and local political elites in socio-religious practices has confirmed the existence of a very strong religious and political relationship, where the Naqsabandiyah sees Achmad (local political elite) as a group representation traced from the existence of kinship ties.
