PENGELOLAAN HUBUNGAN PUSAT DAN DAERAH DALAM PENANGANAN PANDEMI COVID-19

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.
