AGENCY RELATIONSHIP IN CONTEXT OF BUDGETING IN THE NEW ORDER ERA (SOEHARTO ERA): EXECUTIVE WITH THE AUTHORITY AS A ???PRODIGAL SON???

摘要

Budgeting process is like the "black box" which is known only by the executive alone. The game room was played beautifully, like a Dutch football game which is beautiful and interesting to watch, so that the budget seems to side with the people, but in fact the budget is an artificial reality. This study pictured the executive like ???the prodigal son??? who marginalize the legislature. During the era of the new order, all the power over the budget is in the hands of the executive (the regent / mayor / governor) which is the extension of the central government (the president). udThis study employed critical ethnography method, which is described and interpret the cultural systems and social groups. As a research method, critical ethnography has the typical process of a long observation of the social group that informants and researchers are active participant in the group. The finding of this study is that the executive-legislative relations agency in the context of budgeting process is like a mystery. The relationship of agent in the budgeting process in the new order, was dominated by the executive agency. In this context legislative access to budget policy???s is very limited, or even, none at all.
