"This volume applies a systems science perspective to complex policy making dynamics, using the case of Indonesia to illustrate the concepts. Indonesia is an archipelago with a high heterogeneity. Her people consist of 1,340 tribes who are scattered over 17,508 islands. Every region has different natural strengths and conditions. In the national development process all regions depend on one another other while optimizing their own conditions. In addition to this diversity, Indonesia also employs a democratic system of government with high regional autonomy. A democratic government puts a high value on individual freedom, but on the other hand, conflicts of interest also occur frequently. High regional autonomy also often causes problems in coordination among agencies and regional governments. This uniqueness creates a kind of complexity that is rarely found in other countries. These daily complexities requires intensive interaction, negotiation processes, and coordination. Such necessities should be considered in public policy making and in managing the implementation of national development programs. In this context, common theories and best practices generated on the basis of more simplified assumptions often fail. Systems science offer a way of thinking that can take into account and potentially overcome these complexities. However, efforts to apply systems science massively and continuously in real policy making by involving many stakeholders are still rarely carried out. The first part of the book discusses the gap between the existing public policy-making approach and needs in the real world. After that, the characteristics of the appropriate policy-making process in a complex environment and how this process can be carried are described. In later sections, important systems science concepts that can be applied in managing these complexities are discussed. Finally, the efforts to apply these concepts in real cases in Indonesia are described"--Provided by publisher

Public policy problems are socially complex due to a range of stakeholders who involve in the coordinated action. They are also often not stable due to situation changes or stakeholders' behavior changes. Holistic thinking is actually required to solve a public policy problem, which is generally non-linear and highly complicated, through collaborative efforts across organizational boundaries. The approach of systems modelling offers an option for formulating and rehearsing strategic initiatives to resolve the problems in a systematic, structured and accountable. This paper presents an innovative effort to implement a triple helix model for supporting the development of national policies using systems modelling approaches initiated by the President's Delivery Unit for Development Monitoring and Oversight (UKP-PPP) of Republic Indonesia and the School of Business and Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). Series of workshops have been initiated to facilitate communication and cooperation among researchers in academic institutions, practitioners in industry and business, and decision makers in government. Analyzing this finding and interactions that occurred among stakeholders during the workshops, a model of Triple Helix interactions is formulated. In addition to known interaction between university and industry, interaction between university and government on policy development through the channel of state-owned research and development agencies was identified. Not only promoting systems modelling as a methodology in policy development, the workshops also provided evidence on the importance of having a holistic or systemic approach in formulating policies to address a complex national problem that requires interactions among stakeholders.
