Dinamisasi Kebijakan Nasional Pada Pengelolaan Wilayah Pesisir dan Pulau-Pulau Kecil di Indonesia Berdasarkan Perspektif Evolutionary Governance

Abstract

Coastal and small island management policies (PWP-3K) play an important role in coastal and small island governance. This study aims to map dynamizations in PWP-3K policy in Indonesia in the period 1960-2024. The concept of Evolutionary Governance Theory is used to analyze changes in actors, institutions through the evolutionary path of path dependence, interdependence path, and goal dependence which are influenced by changes in knowledge and power. This research analyzes 67 regulatory policies related to PWP-3K obtained from the official government website. This research uses a qualitative method using a content analysis approach. The results show that the dominance of knowledge acquisition based on reflection on the past and present must be accompanied by a discursive process of dialectical learning. Learning that only focuses on reflecting on the past can limit adaptive capacity and diversity of perspectives in decision making. Power dynamics in governance show a shift from centralized to decentralized power. This gives greater authority to ministries and local governments. On the other hand, institutional changes that are only limited to nomenclature without substantial changes in structure and practice can hinder the evolution of more effective governance. In general, the PWP-3K policy shows changes towards adaptive governance. There is a polycentric system, participation and collaboration, learning and innovation, as well as self-organization and networking.
