Efforts to revitalize the bureaucracy, including in institutional arrangements, good governance has become the main reference, especially in the context of building effective collaboration between 3 (three) main pillars, namely government, private sector, and civil society by carrying out values such as competence, transparency , accountability, participation, rule of law, and social justice. The transformation of government bureaucracy needs to continue to be directed into changes from old designs that are less conducive to new designs that are more conducive to continually developing innovation, managing innovation and managing risk and organizational integration in building collaboration and synergy. The transformation of government bureaucracy is not merely downsizing and procedural, but more fundamental to work patterns, organizational culture and strategic values developed. The transformation of government bureaucracy plays a strategic role in increasing national competitiveness, in institutional (institutional) approaches, 'traffic' of state administration from the executive 'down' to Administrative Policy, where organizational transformation with work culture and governance is the decisive determinant its success. The concept of e-governance is to create friendly, comfortable, transparent and inexpensive interactions between G2C-government to citizens, government and business enterprises (G2B-government to business enterprises) and intergovernmental relations (G2G-inter-agency relationship ) Revitalization of bureaucracy through e-governance offers an alternative strategy to change work patterns and bureaucratic behavior. The government's good will to implement e-governance in the era of industrial revolution 4.0, became a determining factor in its implementation. Then the Government policy through the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap, it turns out, is still facing obstacles, especially not enough human resources (HR) are sufficient in the managerial aspects of site management.

The bipartisan commission's 565-page report was issued after many months of investigating, reviewing documents, interviewing hundreds of individuals, and hearing testimony. Much of the material concerning the actual planning of the attacks comes from captured al-Qa''ida operatives, and particularly from the man identified in the report as the ""principal architect of the 9/11 attacks,"" Khalid Shaykh Muhammad (KSM), a Kuwaiti national raised in Pakistan who earned a degree in mechanical engineering in the United States. The report notes (p. 147) that according ""to his own account, KSM's animus toward the United States stemmed not from his experiences there as a student, but rather from his violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel.""
The following brief excerpts touch upon the importance attached to U.S. policy toward Israel in generating the attacks. The references are both in the narrative body of the report and in the more prescriptive chapter ""What to Do?? A Global Strategy,"" where the commission offers suggestions on how the United States can ""Prevent the Continued Growth of Islamist Terrorism""; the paragraph excerpted from this forty-page chapter is the only reference to the impact of U.S. policy with regard to Israel. The excerpts appear respectively on pp. 250, 362, and 376––77 of the report. The full report is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office online at www.gpoaccess.gov/911.

AbstractAre politically decentralized states better at fostering long‐run technological innovation than centralized states? Societies with decentralized governments are widely seen as agile, competitive, and well structured to adapt to innovation's gale of creative destruction. Meanwhile, centralized states, even when democratic, have come to be viewed as rigid and thus hostile to the risks, costs, and change associated with new technology, or prone to cling too long to foolhardy or outdated technological projects. Therefore government decentralization is often perceived as a necessary institutional foundation for encouraging long‐run technological innovation. However, in this article, I analyze data on international patent activity, scientific publications, and high‐technology exports, and show that there exists little evidence for an aggregate relationship between government structure and technological innovation.

The purpose of this paper is to gauge the perceptions of SMEs of the measures they believe would enhance their development and growth by the Qatari government to ensure full and effective participation in the procurement of infrastructure and services for 2022 World Cup, which also serves the strategy of capacity building in the construction sector and diversification of the Qatari economy. A quantitative research methodology was applied to allow a cross-sectional data to be collected using a questionnaire survey. The literature on SMEs in Qatar indicates heterogeneity and this resulted in the categorisation of SMEs into three types. These include micro construction SMEs, small construction SMEs, and medium Construction SMEs. A total of 146 fully completed on-line questionnaire were obtained and analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSSx). The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to rank the factors believed by SMEs to hindering their effective participation in construction activities in Qatar. The results from SPSS results clearly showed that there is a huge variance in the perception of factors believed by SMEs to be hindering their effective participation in construction activities in the country. SMEs are particular about their underdeveloped entrepreneurial skills, lack of access to both financial and human capital, the distance between SMEs and construction educational institutions, unfair market competition for labour, materials, and equipment. From these findings, the study concluded that it is important that intended beneficiaries of government policies are consulted for inputs into policy formulation for effective outcomes. The study only focused on Small Medium Enterprises in Qatar, however, given similar socio-economic and political characteristics, the findings have wider applicability across the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman The study calls for an interface or platform where construction SMEs can interact with the Qatari government on how SMEs can be better supported for enhanced capacity building and development. The paper acknowledges the global pattern of the predominance of construction SMEs and their roles in construction industry development. This explains the various initiatives advanced by governments for SMEs development, and by critically appraising the effectiveness of such initiatives by the Qatari government, this study advances previous knowledge with its findings and recommendations.

One of the key objectives of this first SCD of the Republic of Congo is to serve as an essential input to the Country Partnership Framework. The SCD is not intended to carry out substantial new analytical work, but rather to draw upon and synthesize the existing evidence. A substantial amount of analytical work on Congo has been carried out in recent years, covering a wide range of subjects. These reports and studies conducted by the World Bank were supplemented by studies prepared by the government and other development partners and formed a solid basis for the analysis presented in the chapters to follow. The report is divided into two main parts. The first part presents the growth drivers and constraints for achieving the twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty in Congo by 2030 and promoting shared prosperity. The second part categorizes the constraints, prioritizes them according to the impact they have on the twin goals, identifies areas for improvement, and provides recommendations for leveraging the country's opportunities and achieving sustainable and equitable growth.

In the 1990s in local government in Russia, the dominant trends might be described as neo‐Soviet because of their apparent continuity with patterns that prevailed before the end of communist rule in that country. The promise of independence for "local self‐government," as set forth in the Russian Constitution of 1993 and subsequent legislation, largely has been frustrated. The tendency of privatized economic enterprises to divest themselves of responsibility for social benefits, and the lack of an adequate base for financial independence for local governments, have made it necessary for local officials to rely heavily on the regional authorities for support. Within local government, the elected legislature usually is subordinate to a dominant executive leadership. Those features of contemporary local government in Russia are explained by the consequences of decisions adopted by the country's post‐Communist leadership, including the method and content of economic reform. The results are unfavorable both for the resurgence of the local economy and the growth of democracy at the local level.
