Tangerang City as a city that is implementing the Smart City concept to solve city problems and improve city governance. Since 2016 the Tangerang City Government has been running Smart City by creating a Tangerang LIVE Room with the Tangerang LIVE vision of Liveable, Investable, Visitable, and E-City, the vision is based on the use of information, technology and communication to create a public service system and employee work to the community to be more optimal, efficient and effective. Innovations that are being developed by the City of Tangerang have successfully made 174 Applications. The success of the application made 31 City Governments and Agencies in Indonesia adopt applications owned by the City of Tangerang. The principle of the Tangerang Smart City Partnership aims to accelerate regional development at the local level, increase economic growth and community welfare through optimizing the use of regional resources. A qualitative approach was used in this research by collecting data through library research, interviews and documentation of informants who were directly involved in carrying out these activities. The analysis of this study uses Frans Van Waarden's theory model, the results of the study show that: (1) The actors involved have been from all walks of life, but it is better to increase their involvement, (2) The function of each actor should be improved again to achieve the Tangerang policy objectives Live (3) Network structure is already running, but the good Leading Sector is transferred to the Mayor (4) Institutionalization has not been regulated (5) Rules of action have not been regulated in mayor regulations or regional regulations specifically regarding Smart City (6) Power Relations have been running with good (7) The actor's strategy is well underway to manage his dependency.

Recent scholarship in public administration has drawn attention to the proliferation of transnational policy‐making processes and administrative practices. Although policy transfer and transgovernmental scholars have recognized the influence of these practices on domestic policy outcomes, little is known about how distinctive configurations of cross‐jurisdictional policy networks form. This article addresses this issue by exploring three novel transgovernmental policy networks situated in the Anglosphere: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Drawing on constructivist perspectives, the article holds culture, values and norms as critical to the coalescence of Anglosphere policy networks and an important additional explanation of how transnational policy communities emerge. These hitherto unreported networks facilitate, first, the transfer of policy ideas to resolve domestic policy problems and, second, collaborative mechanisms to resolve transnational challenges. Consideration of these novel public sector 'assemblages' deepens our empirical and theoretical knowledge of the new spaces of transnational administration.

This article evaluates two competing dynamic policy-network models and one static network model by applying them to local politics in Amsterdam. In the dynamic models an influence relation results from the acceptance of an influence request. The first model, Control Maximization, represents the view that politics are primarily power driven, and the second, Policy Maximization, policy driven. Zn the static model (the Two-Stage), network relations are empirically investigated as in other policy-network models and used as a benchmark for evaluating the dynamic models. Policy Maximization is shown to be the most accurate predictor of decision outcomes, better even than the static model, and to generate richer networks. However, both dynamic models generate networks that are too hierarchical.

This article has four objectives: to characterize briefly the literature on policy communities and policy networks; to provide a summary of, and to appraise critically, British contributions to the topic; to identify the problems with the concept; and to suggest future lines of development.

En este artículo se analiza el proceso de cambio en dos áreas concretas de la políticafarmacéutica: la política industrial y la política de uso racional del medicamento. En amboscasos la adopción de un nuevo paradigma requiere una transformación en el plano institucional,y genera un cambio en la distribución de poder entre actores. Pero, la estrategiaque se adopta para llevar a cabo ese cambio de paradigma es distinta. Este análisis ofreceuna visión complementaria al modelo de cambio propuesto por Peter Hall, y se argumentacómo las características de cada policy network determinan la forma con que se llevana cabo estos cambios en los objetivos. El cambio de paradigma en la política industrialse lleva a cabo de forma lenta y gradual como resultado de un proceso de negociacióncerrado entre el Estado y la industria farmacéutica. Por el contrario, el desarrollo deuna política de uso racional del medicamento se lleva a cabo a través de un debate intensoy politizado, en el que participan un número cada vez más amplio de actores.

AbstractPolities shape power structures and interaction patterns between actors in policymaking processes. Although the social fabric of interactions is key to successful policymaking, it remains unclear which relational structures are typically found across political systems. By adopting a network approach, we analyse differences in power structures and interaction patterns across four policy networks in German and Swiss consensual–federal, French majoritarian–unitary, and hybrid Dutch consensual–unitary democracies. Using survey data from 149 state and non‐state actors, we fit exponential random graph models and calculate predicted probabilities to compare the four networks. Results show that the consensus democracies institutionalize neighbourhoods of networks where actors share power and collaborate with opponents. Our case of a majoritarian democracy illustrates power concentration with restricted access to competitors, limiting the need to interact and search for compromises with opponents. Findings allow future work to differentiate typical from atypical network structures, given the embeddedness into a political system.

Examines the emergence, persistence, & change of policy paradigms, focusing on the role that policy networks play in this process & drawing on the literature of problem definition to explain this role. As an example, water policy in Israel is investigated, 1948-1997. Two primary water policy paradigms emerge: the earlier paradigm was one of expanding water resources & agricultural production, but this was followed by a paradigm of priority of agricultural expansion over water conservation. Also distinguished are periods of anticipatory & reactive water policy. Adapted from the source document.
