“…Although navigating the diversity generated by asymmetric arrangements may be more complex than symmetrically decentralised countries, agreeing to these types of decentralisation arrangements may help adopt regional policies that are better tailored to the subnational needs (Allain-Dupré, Chatry and Moisio, 2020 [21]). Several countries are creating special economic jurisdictions to promote industrial development within and across regions, as a form of administrative asymmetric decentralisation.…”

“…Investment will be needed across Asia and the Pacific to limit global warming to less than 1.5°C and make progress towards achieving the SDGs. In developing Asia, there is a need to invest USD 26 trillion in infrastructure to maintain the region's growth momentum and respond to climate change between 2016 and 2030 (ADB, 2017 [39]). Given the magnitude of investment needs, all levels of government, and the private sector will need to be mobilised over the coming years.…”

The OECD is a multi-disciplinary inter-governmental organisation with member countries which engages in its work an increasing number of non-members from all regions of the world. The Organisation's core mission today is to help governments work together towards a stronger, cleaner, fairer global economy. Through its network of specialised committees and working groups, the OECD provides a setting where governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice, and co-ordinate domestic and international policies. More information available: www.oecd.org.

“…Decentralization reforms are often designed and implemented uniformly or using a symmetrical approach. In symmetrical decentralization, local governments are given autonomy and treated equally in executing various roles and functions that have been decentralized regardless of their differences in physical, ethnic or cultural (Allain-Dupré et al, 2020). Symmetrical decentralization lies in the purpose to reflect and reproduce national government institutions at the subnational or regional level by placing lower units as if the regions were a microcosm of the central government (Katorobo, 2007).…”

“…Symmetrical decentralization lies in the purpose to reflect and reproduce national government institutions at the subnational or regional level by placing lower units as if the regions were a microcosm of the central government (Katorobo, 2007). Promoting the successful implementation of symmetrical decentralization is often requiring strong equity mechanisms and is not demanding the possibility of implementing structural administrative reforms such as city mergers (Allain-Dupré et al, 2020).…”

In recent years, the growing number of public administration literature has concerned the effectiveness of decentralization to deal with ethnic conflicts. This issue is rising up due to the several failure reports of decentralization to manage the social conflicts and regional tension that possibly evolve into secessionism. This paper intended to explore the performance of symmetric and asymmetric decentralization to manage social conflicts that occurred in Indonesia and Thailand. This descriptive study was conducted through a qualitative approach and strengthened by analytical thinking exposure. Papua province, Indonesia, and some provinces in southern Thailand had been selected as the case study due to their political decision for implementing asymmetric and symmetric decentralization to manage ethnic conflict in each region. The result shows that either symmetric or asymmetric decentralization might be thought of as one of the viable solutions to managing social conflicts. However, both of these decentralization configurations may generate pros and cons impact. It is suggested that policy makers recognize the consequence of each implementation to consider appropriate decision- making. The analysis of this paper shows that symmetric decentralization tends to promote effectiveness and efficiency while asymmetric decentralization will be closer to tolerance and equality.

“…The Covid-19 crisis seems to provide an impetus to redefine the current multi-level governance arrangements. Governments at all levels must act simultaneously and in synchrony and require high coordination and a clear allocation of responsibilities to suit regional specificities (Allain-Dupré, Chatry & Phung, 2021). This need for a flexible and adaptive government system has prompted governments to review their policy tools and reconsider regional development priorities.…”

Indonesia is a country that has high natural resource potential. This potential encourages the government to collect the tax on land and building plantations, forestry, mining, and other sectors (PBB-P3). Then the proceeds are allocated to local governments to overcome vertical fiscal inequality. However, in practice, problems were found related to the low fiscal independence of regions due to dependence on Transfers to Regions (TKD) by the central government and the distribution of Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH) on Land and Building Taxes and natural resources. This paper analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Land and Building Tax (PBB) in the Plantation and Forestry sector devolution from the central tax to local taxes. Also, analyze the strategies for the transfer of PBB plantation and forestry sector. This study uses a qualitative approach with SWOT analysis and primary collection techniques through in-depth interview data and literature study. The analysis results show that PBB plantation and forestry sector has several weaknesses and threats related to the readiness of local government human resources, the mechanism for collecting PBB-P3, and the impact on the exploitation of natural resources. However, the strengths and opportunities found in this study can be considered for the regionalization of PBB plantation and forestry sector in the future. Strength-opportunity, strength-threat, weakness-opportunity, and weakness-threat strategies that can be prepared are preparing local government human resources, technological facilities for PBB-P3 administration, and special rules governing PBB-P3 regionalization.
