This book is a collection of papers and working papers discussing 
not only the technical aspects of social policy but also the political aspects, particularly those related to the consolidation of democracy and decentralization which are very relevant in the development of social policy in Indonesia. Also, it combines a macro-micro approach in its study by reflecting and drawing lessons not only from processes occurring in other developing countries in East Asia and Latin America. Analysis of achievements that have been achieved by local governments in Indonesia since the decentralization era 
also featured in this book.
