JSIP Volume 2 Number 03 (September 2026) issue with the theme "Transformation and Problems of Regional Policy: A Critical Review of Social Programs, Village Economy, and Ecological Governance" is here to dissect the dynamics of local governance that is often caught between the demands of accelerating welfare and the tangled power relations. This edition presents a comprehensive empirical study that critically highlights three main pillars: the effectiveness of social protection and community empowerment programs such as PKH, the urgency of transparency of BUMDes institutions as the driving force of the village economy, and a political ecology analysis that uncovers the patron-clientelism practices behind the tangled governance of permits and mining conflicts. Through this compilation of cross-spectrum articles, JSIP offers strategic insights for academics and policymakers in formulating more transparent, inclusive, and ecologically just regional governance.
