Effective tobacco control requires collaboration among stakeholders, making well-executed collaborative governance essential. This article discusses the management of collaborative governance in tobacco control to support environmental policy in Kulon Progo Regency. The research method employs a qualitative approach, collecting data through interviews and observations, supported by secondary data. The results show that collaborative governance in tobacco control, enhanced by the use of technology, contributes to improving environmental quality in Kulonprogo Regency by enhancing air quality, reducing toxic waste, and minimizing the younger generation's exposure to cigarette advertisements.

The article identifies an implementation gap between formal international commitments and their achievement in practice. The nature of Indonesian governance explains the gap and brings into focus central-local government relationships under highly formally decentralized systems. While forging international commitments is an exclusive responsibility of central government, the implementation of those commitments unavoidably brings in local governments. Local governments under a decentralized system may lack the knowledge or capacity to implement decisions. They may have political and economic interests that encourage non-compliance. Both sets of factors feature in this study.

In this paper, we aim to shed light on how multiple levels of government create a facilitating environment for oil palm expansion. In our research, we employed three different methods: content analysis of key policy documents, participant observations, and expert interviews. We found that the technical complexities of formal procedures for the conversion of forest to oil palm are relatively easy to bypass. Contradicting laws and regulations have created a situation where the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) and local governments have relatively equal legal mandates and authority over land-use and allocation. This is further complicated by the ambiguity of the decentralization policy. Enabled by the spatial planning law and the decentralization laws, local governments have aggressively issued plantation licenses for forest areas without the formal release of the forest from the Ministry of Forestry. The issuance of plantation permits has also been legitimized by other policies within central government, which have made oil palm a national priority.

While research on asymmetric decentralization has developed very significantly, only limited attention has been paid to the determinants of success, especially the role governance plays. This aims to fill the gap by using the case of Indonesia. It qualitatively assesses the outcomes of asymmetric decentralization in four provinces: Papua, Papua Barat, Aceh, and Yogyakarta. It finds that there is strong variation among these provinces in achieving asymmetric goals. This variation is explained by the quality of governance, especially the degree of accountability and transparency of the local governments. This article concludes that the quality of local governance has a very significant effect on the achievement of asymmetric decentralization. This is also a practical message for advocates to further improve the quality of governance for asymmetric decentralization to be successful.
