Abstract:
So far there is no standard formula in handling Covid-19 Pandemic. Almost all
countries try to solve the Covid-19 Pandemic problem in different ways and
strategies. Some succeed, some don't. Indonesia is one of the countries trying to
deal with the Covid-19 Pandemic with a Large-Scale Social Limitation strategy
(PSBB) which is based on Law No. 6 of 2018 on Quarantine and Government
Regulation No. 21 of 2020. This policy choice is an anticipatory step to respond
to some regional policies that tend to run individually. Regions seem to have a
"taste" to control their territory according to their wishes. This phenomenon
raises the issue of whether the basic principles used in the management of the
Central Government and Regional Governments in handling this Covid-19
pandemic. This is also related to how the direction of Law No. 23 of 2014
concerning the Regional Government has implications for the management of the
central and regional relations. The research method is a normative juridical
research method with a statutory approach and conceptual approach. The result
is that the basic principles in managing the relationship between the Central
Government and the Regional Government are based on decentralization.
However, along with the new regulation in Law No. 23 of 2014 concerning the
Regional Government, the management of this relationship has shifted towards
centralization. This affects the relationship model between the Central
Government and Regional Governments which theoretically places Regional
Governments more as The Agency Model.
