The Implementation of Democracy-Based Public Policies to Establish Sustainable Development in Political Parties in Nusa Tenggara Timur

Abstract

One region in Indonesia that has a blurry portrait as an area lagging behind its development rate is East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province. The importance of the political party position in a democratic government system is related to sustainable development used as the basis for implementing public policies and the role of political parties needed in supporting sustainable development, especially in East Nusa Tenggara. This study aims to determine the implementation of democracy-based public policies to establish sustainable development of political parties in East Nusa Tenggara and to determine the inhibiting factors in implementing democracy-based public policies to develop sustainable development of political parties in East Nusa Tenggara. This research is considered qualitative research using a conceptual approach. The study results indicate that implementing democracy-based public policies in realizing sustainable development in East Nusa Tenggara political parties has yet to run optimally. The inhibiting factor for implementing democracy-based public policies to establish sustainable development of political parties in East Nusa Tenggara is the low quality of Human Resources (HR) as the main reason for all social problems in NTT. In addition, the obstacles faced in developing the NTT region are not more related to other more fundamental issues, such as the economic trade system, state apparatus capacity, and the socio-culture of the local community.
