Editorial: Reimagining Public Policy (Digital Transformation, Civic Engagement, and Multi-Level Accountability)
Abstract
This editorial explores the paradigm shift in Indonesian public policy over the past two decades, driven by the dual forces of digital transformation and decentralization. These changes have reshaped public administration, the relationship between the state and citizens, and intergovernmental dynamics. Digital transformation fosters data-driven, responsive, and transparent governance, while decentralization enables local governments to craft policies suited to local needs. The May 2025 edition of the Journal of Public Policy and Management Inquiry presents articles addressing issues such as poverty data accuracy, digital banking service quality, youth involvement in cultural preservation, mining policy implementation in South Papua, rural digitalization efforts in West Java, civic engagement via social media, Indonesia-Australia economic cooperation, and regional financial governance. Together, these perspectives underscore the importance of inclusive, adaptive, and data-based policy reforms, emphasizing the critical role of citizen participation and cross-level accountability in shaping public policy in the digital era.
