In this study we analyze gender relations legitimatized by socio-political institutions of forest governance in REDD+ pilots in Équateur Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Using data from interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations, we show that men and women have different knowledge and use of forests, but these differences are not given due consideration in forest governance. Women's voices are often muted in decision-making arenas and they occupy only a nominal position in both forestry and development initiatives as compared with men. This status quo is extended to the REDD+ pilot projects as well. Women have limited information about REDD+ compared with men. The mechanisms used to establish new village organization for REDD+ exclude women from decision making in the ongoing REDD+ pilot project. We show that women's bargaining power for equal inclusion in decision-making processes and for sharing benefits are constrained by existing social norms regarding local access to land and material resources, existing gender division of labor, local perceptions regarding women's roles and contributions/responsibilities, as well as men's dominant position in rural settings. For a gender transformative REDD+, we suggest that REDD+ actors should attempt to bring about institutional changes that transform gender relations and thereby increase women's bargaining power. ; Gendered forests: exploring gender dimensions in forest governance and REDD+ in Équateur Province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) ; publishedVersion

Tulisan ini memberikan gambaran tentang kualitas democratic governance terkait dengan kemampuanpemerintah kota Yogyakarta dalam melakukan pemberdayaan UMKM berbasis e-commerce. Dominasi gagasan tentang efektivitas, efisiensi, dan standarisasi tersebut merupakan gagasan yang dibawa oleh model pasar kedalam skema tata kelola pemerintahan di era e-governance. Tulisan ini memfokuskan pada peran pemerintah dalam melakukan program pemberdayaan UMKM berbasis e-commerce, serta peran pemerintah dalam menggunakan ruang dialog tersebut. Hasil tulisan adalah kemampuan pemerintah dalam melakukan pengembangan UMKM dengan berbasis e-commerce linier terhadap kualitas democratic governance, yakni pemberdayaan dan partisipasi. Selain itu, dalam penggunaan ruang dialog terdapat perasaan ewuhpekewuh. Perasaan ini memiliki kelebihan dalam meredam konflik dan menjaga konsensus yang telah disepakati. Namun, disisi lain perasaan ini kemudian tidak melahirkan sikap partisipatif dalam memanfaatkan ruang publik untuk memperbaiki pengembangan UMKM. Dengan demikian, pemanfaatan ruang publik lebih digunakan oleh pemerintah untuk melaksanakan implementasi kebijakan maupun program.

This article seeks to problematise current frameworks of global environmental governance by examining how the neoliberal model continues to rely on the state to suppress plurinational justice. Firstly, it discusses the creation of counter-hegemonic discourses through the emergence of new centres of epistemic production. Secondly, it analyses the ways in which these narratives interact, or fail to interact, with state policies on a local, national and international level through the case study of Evo Morales' Bolivia. The article argues that one of main challenges confronting environmental governance will be to reformulate sovereignty as an epistemic and relational – as well as political and territorial – set of relationships.

The research focuses on evaluation of the Blue Flag programme implementation in Latvia since the year 1998, when the programme's operations started. It includes analysis and an overview of both the national and local level impacts and the results of the programme implementation. With regard to national level, approach and experience, the overview focuses on effectiveness and the role of the Blue Flag programme as a supporting instrument for successful implementation of environmental legislation. This programme is also analysed as a communication instrument in promoting environmental policies within 500 km long of coastline areas, which in Latvia are announced the national interest territories aiming at both particular protection and also development, especially, as tourism destinations. On the municipal level, our approach and overview present analysis of the Blue Flag criteria and their implementation experience in different municipalities. Moreover, we study the overall impact of the programme on environmental performance of the municipal sector regarding coastal protection issues. The Blue Flag survey also reviews selected municipal case studies: Liepaja, Ventspils, and Saulkrasti. After reviewing the overall programme's performance in Latvia, the study concludes with an elaborated set of multi-level suggestions on potential improvements that would strengthen the programme's further implementation and facilitate better and wider use of its potential not only for particular designated and size limited coastal destinations as the Blue Flag beaches and marinas. The programme's potential could also be used for voluntary and facilitated coastal governance and coastal communication within the whole municipality and eventually further afield, turning from spreading of coastal information and almost established education towards coastal participation and the whole scale pro-environmental behaviour.Keywords: Blue Flag, coastal management, environmental communication, environmental policy.JEL CODES: Q, Q5, Q56, Q58.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/rfds.v23i1.1688

Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the challenges and opportunities faced by local health council presidents in their practice of participatory governance. In-depth interviews were conducted with six presidents at health posts at six neighborhoods located in a single region in a peripheral neighborhood in Fortaleza. The interviews were complemented by participant observation of local health council meetings conducted over a three-year period (2015-2017), and interviews with presidents of the municipal, regional and state health councils, as well as with more than twenty actors from government agencies and local associations. The data were analyzed with the help of Atlas.ti, and resulted in the identification of four core topics: the weakness of community representation, the generation of new health initiatives, the concern with the physical and material infrastructure of the councils, and the linkages between council Presidents and the historical network of community-based organizations (Associações Voluntárias) in the region in which the health posts were situated. The local health councils included in this study faced similar challenges to those documented by prior scholars, but also demonstrated the potential to cultivate local ideas for new health initiatives.

Good governance is essential and inseparable for every entity today. Good governance becomes one of the foundations in decision making for stakeholders to assess the performance of government both at the central and in the region. This study uses descriptive analysis method to see whether the implementation of good governance can be assessed in terms of quality of local government financial statements that have been audited by BPK and what is the cause of the lack of good governance of government finance. The analysis uses opinion data issued by the auditor on the Jambi Province government financial report and the results of the previous research analysis. Based on the analysis concluded that good governance can be assessed by looking at the quality of local government financial statements (LKPD) as measured from the auditor's opinion. While the lack of good governance of local government finances due to the low quality of human resources in local government and the application of government accounting standards that have not been maximized.Key words : Good governance, Local government financial statements

Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Uzbekistan, this article looks at the way official state narratives are challenged by silent, unorganised, often unaware gestures of resistance at the bottom of a society. Footing on a framework suggested by Scott's definition of infrapolitics (2012), we propose to incorporate informal practices in a definition of informality that is more inclusive and better explains the anatomy of a modern state, whose functioning rests on a combination of formal and informal practices. We suggest that this everyday dimension is of particular importance here when trying to understand the governance trajectories, as it allows to look critically, and from a broader perspective, at situations where individual and state perception of events, but also individual and state morality, diverge.By doing this, we propose that governance in transition states and societies may be regarded as a space where formal institutions and citizens (or informal institutions) compete for power and resources and thereby produce informal, alternative 'legal orders' and mechanisms that regulate public life in a given area. We will suggest that such a space of informal negotiation is vital in contexts where collective mobilisation and public articulation of social claims is not a preferred, or even available, strategy for citizens.
