“Decentralization Dilemma In Indonesia: Does Decentralization Breed Corruption?”, Glenys Kirana
“Decentralization Dilemma In Indonesia: Does Decentralization Breed Corruption?”, Glenys Kirana
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Given the pervasiveness of corruption, collusion and nepotism during Suharto’s rule (1967-1998), many people assume that the Reformasi era (1998-present) would introduce a new wave of liberal democratic values, which would consequently reduce corruption in Indonesia. This paper seeks to look at the changes in people’s socio-political incentives to corrupt given the changes in political and legal structure, analyzing it in the context of its contribution to Indonesia’s socio-economic development. Specifically, it centers on how decentralization has affected corruption in the regional districts, legislative, judiciary, and other civil society groups. It is the prominence of the corruption issue in the …
Tiered Technologies Of Power: Subject-Making In China Through Electronic Censorship, Hope R. St. John
Tiered Technologies Of Power: Subject-Making In China Through Electronic Censorship, Hope R. St. John
Global Honors Theses
Since its inception and rise to wide-spread popularity, the internet has provided new opportunities for communication and configured global connectivity possibilities and information sharing. However, with this technological revolution, new and interesting regulatory challenges have emerged. With this paper, I build on Foucauldian understandings of governmentality to examine internet censorship in China within the global context, arguing that these issues of internet censorship in China represent an important example of the emergence of new techniques of governing that stem from new, globalized threats to state control. As a fundamentally global network, the internet ranks among one of the most pressing …

Fiscal Decentralization: does the Source of Revenue Matter?
Evidence from Rural India
Pallavi Jain Govil
Adviser: Professor Timothy J. Goodspeed
Is the pattern of expenditures of village governments related to their sources of revenue? Do village governments use own-source revenues more efficiently than transfer grants to provide public services to their constituents?
This paper begins with the premise that local governments are more participative, more acceptable, and more accountable and hence, deliver better. I use a policy change introduced in 1997 in province of Madhya Pradesh in India, whereby the power to collect royalty and lease rents on minor mineral …
Improving Privacy And Security In Decentralized Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption, Jinguang Han, Willy Susilo, Yi Mu, Jianying Zhou, Man Ho Au
Improving Privacy And Security In Decentralized Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption, Jinguang Han, Willy Susilo, Yi Mu, Jianying Zhou, Man Ho Au
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
In previous privacy-preserving multi-authority attribute-based encryption (PPMA-ABE) schemes, a user can acquire secret keys from multiple authorities with them knowing his/her attributes and furthermore, a central authority is required. Notably, a user’s identity information can be extracted from his/her some sensitive attributes. Hence, existing PPMAABE schemes cannot fully protect users’ privacy as multiple authorities can collaborate to identify a user by collecting and analyzing his attributes. Moreover, ciphertext-policy ABE (CPABE) is a more efficient public-key encryption where the encryptor can select flexible access structures to encrypt messages. Therefore, a challenging and important work is to construct a PPMA-ABE scheme where …
Endogenous Decentralization In Federal Environmental Policies, Howard F. Chang, Hilary Sigman, Leah G. Traub
Endogenous Decentralization In Federal Environmental Policies, Howard F. Chang, Hilary Sigman, Leah G. Traub

Under most federal environmental laws and some health and safety laws, states may apply for “primacy,” that is, authority to implement and enforce federal law, through a process known as “authorization.” Some observers fear that states use authorization to adopt more lax policies in a regulatory “race to the bottom.” This paper presents a simple model of the interaction between the federal and state governments in such a scheme of partial decentralization. Our model suggests that the authorization option may not only increase social welfare but also allow more stringent environmental regulations than would otherwise be feasible. Our model also …
