Regional Autonomy Law Shifts Power Dynamics from Central to Local Government in Indonesia.
Regional autonomy in Indonesia, as outlined in Law Number 23 of 2014, involves transferring power from the central government to local governments. This shift aims to decentralize authority and empower districts and cities across the country. Previously, power flowed from regions to the center, but with regional autonomy, the dynamic has reversed, moving power from the center to the regions. This change signifies a significant shift in governance dynamics, emphasizing the importance of relations between the central and local governments.
