“…The Millennium Declaration placed human rights at the centre of international development (McInerney-Lankford and Sano, 2010;United Nations Development Programme, 2013). Although development policy traditionally was not organised around the human rights approach to development, the Millennium Declaration (UN, 2000) explicitly suggests implementing the MDGs in a human rights-sensitive manner, and using human rights instruments to promote their achievement (Kuruvilla, Singh, Bustreo, Friedman, Hunt and Luchesi, 2012; Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights [OHCHR], 2008[OHCHR], , 2010.…”

“…This approach to HR is reflected in the widespread usage of the ‘enjoyment’ concept that assesses the degree to which specific rights are ‘enjoyed’ by the population (Raworth 2001, 119). It comes close to the predominant focus of development cooperation evaluations on social-economic conditions such as unemployment rates, literacy rates, life expectancy, or rates of inflation that are criticized for comparing societal development and performances without considering differences in the capacity of countries (McInerney-Lankford and Otto-Sano 2010, 19). While the possible divergence between abstract HR and indicators is evident in terms of the normative meaning that emerges at different points, the function of HR indicators as part of operationalization requires additional scrutiny.…”

After decision-making: the operationalization of norms in International Relations

Research on norms in International Relations (IR) includes various concepts related to how norms influence actions. These approaches focus on the decision-making process, and largely neglect the operationalization of norms. This omission leads to an analytical gap: a lack of attention to how the substance of abstract norms is transformed and constructed in the operationalization process. This article draws on the Foucauldian theme of governmentality to introduce a novel perspective on operationalizing norms. It focusses in particular on the role of techniques as understudied parts inherent to the reflexive processes of operationalization and meaning production. The article thereby contests the prevalence of fundamental norms in conventional IR theory. It demonstrates, instead, that global governance techniques do not simply translate rationalities into practice, but construct their very own normativities. These theoretical reflections are illustrated by analysing the operationalization of norms through indicators in the case of the European Union’s human rights policy.

“…Governance is the mechanisms, processes, and institutions through which citizens can articulate their interests (Salam, 2004;Razak & Harfiah, 2018). Therefore, the management of economic and social resources can be used for community development (McInerney-Lankford & Sano, 2010). UNDP emphasized that the government is the authority holder in carrying out political, economic and administrative policies at all levels to manage the affairs of a country (UNDP, 2010).…”

Performance-based organizations are the demands of the people as they are eager to get maximum services from the government. Thus, to ensure the high performance of the state apparatus, especially those who serve in sub-district offices, the support of good governance is necessary. This study aims to investigate the effect of good governance on sub-district apparatus performance. This research applied a quantitative descriptive method with a sample size of 92 people selected from 1201 heads of households. The research was conducted in Uluale Sub-District, Watangpulu District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The results showed that the application of the principle of good governance and apparatus performance was included in the category of "quite good" while the application of good governance was still less influential in improving apparatus performance. This shows that the performance of the apparatus is not optimal because the application of good governance is not yet serious. Keywords: Apparatus, Good Governance, Performance, Public, Sub-District
