“…Moreover, even his infrastructure push, arguably initiated under the "inclusive neoliberal" Aquino III's administration (Santiago 2019), remained more reliant on the private sector when compared to Erdoğanism. Duterte's market-reliant infrastructure projects also contrast with others in his region, such as Joko Widodo's in Indonesia, which have more clearly shifted in the direction of state capitalism (Wijaya and Camba 2021). Another weak spot of Duterte's infrastructure push was dependence on Chinese funds and expertise.…”

How do the economy, right-wing legacies, and personal style shape today’sautocracies? Analysts have commented that especially three contemporary autocrats—Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Narendra Modi, and Rodrigo Duterte—have similar styles, motivations, or bases of support. Yet, this paper will show that the paths that took them to their thrones are quite distinct. Neoliberalization had disorganized society in Turkey, India, and the Philippines. The rule of “strongmen,” in response, showed the way out of this disorganization. The main divergence, however, is that Erdoğanism introduced statism and mass organization as against the disorganizing thrust of neoliberalization. Modi parallels Erdoğan in the civic paramilitary aspects of rule, but not in statism. Other than a weak infrastructure thrust, Duterte did not make the economy into a central issue in the way Erdoğan and Modi did. Moreover, he did not deploy civic activism at all. These three routes have thoroughly shaped and differentiated the autocrats’ styles too, even though all involve a heavy resort to masculinity. Coming from a thick tradition of mass politics and moving in a state-capitalist direction, Erdoğan’s performance incorporates women’s civic mobilization and heavily emphasizes fertility and productivity. Shorn of such anchors and bedeviled by a fragmented polity, Duterte’s rule sexualizes violence rather than production. Modi’s celibate masculinity is similar to Erdoğan’s in its dramatization of size and production but downplays reproduction, except for deepening the ethnic divide his party relies on. These differences have culminated in hegemonic autocracy in Turkey, ethnic autocracy in India, and oligarchic autocracy in the Philippines.

“…For instance, in their study of infrastructure projects financed by public-private partnerships, state enterprises and national development banks in Indonesia and the Philippines, Wijaya and Camba (2021) bring together a range of scale-differentiated social forces and processes: institutions of state capitalism simultaneously advance national and regional projects and the interests of domestically oriented business and political elites, help ‘fix’ transnational capital in space and deepen linkages with transnational class factions and international development agencies. As such, these infrastructure projects enable an interscalar re-articulation of state-capital relations.…”

“…State-sponsored megaprojects, large-scale infrastructure and spatial planning strategies have been mobilized for territorial development and promotion, for integrating distant territories and facilitating the circulation of capital and for reconfiguring state sovereignty ( Kinossian and Morgan, 2023 ; Su and Lim, 2023 ; Szabó and Jelinek, 2023 ). New forms of territorialized policy interventions have been deployed in order to compete in high-tech sectors, develop frontiers of resource extraction, attract foreign investment, catalyze structural change and achieve a range of state spatial objectives ( Schindler et al, 2022 ; Wijaya and Camba, 2021 ; Zhang and Lan, 2023 ). Sovereign funds, state enterprises and other state-capital hybrids afford states the capacity to project geoeconomic power extra-territorially in transnational production, finance and digital networks ( McGregor and Coe, 2023 ; Rolf and Schindler, 2023 ).…”

The theme issue ‘Making Space for the New State Capitalism’ brings together insights from critical economic geography and heterodox political economy through a series of papers published in three installments, each accompanied by an introductory essay written by the guest editors. In this, the second of these introductory commentaries, we explore the consequences of embracing relationality, spatiotemporality and uneven development, together with the second group of papers. Introducing a final group of papers, the third installment will address the challenges and opportunities of thinking conjuncturally.

“…The traditional technique of decision-making was incremental initially. The gradual procedure is a decision-making method that considers existing policies and makes slight changes compared to earlier policies (Wijaya & Camba, 2021). If they ignore pre-existing policies, decision-making to tackle public concerns will create new problems.…”

The digitization era in public affairs is increasingly disrupting Indonesia. Governance in Indonesia is forced to implement aspects of digitalization in its public services. Big data and artificial intelligence have been used in other scientific activities that provide colour to governance with various scientific disciplines. This study discusses the use of big data and artificial intelligence in policymaking in Indonesia by focusing on the ability of policymakers in policymaking. The method used in this paper is qualitative research with a literature study approach. We reviewed articles with related themes as many as 25 articles published in the last five years from ScienceDirect. The result of this research is that the dynamics that exist in the implementation of public services require appropriate and fast decision-making, considering that this is a community demand. Therefore, public leaders need to disrupt themselves in public services so that these services can be served quickly by enriching skills in big data and artificial intelligence. In conclusion, the critical aspect of the public policy decision-making process is similar to that of any other stage in the policymaking process. Like the preceding steps in the public policy process, the decision-making stage differs depending on the nature of the policy subsystems involved and the degree of consensus faced by decision-makers. The presence of big data in the public sector cannot be disputed as an intriguing approach, particularly during the policy formation cycle. Also, big data and artificial intelligence can help public leaders make decisions to deliver the best policies.
