AbstractIndonesia’s appointment of an ex-CEO of a home-grown tech company in reforming the bureaucracy raises the question of how the government is reshaping its role in education politics in an era of digital transformation. This is a question important not only in understanding domestic politics but also in understanding foreign relations of human capital development.This article analyzes the case of the Indonesian government’s decision in 2019 to bring in the tech and the young to the Ministry of Education and Culture. The author argues that this decision was made both for the country and for the bureaucracy’s survival and for seeking competitiveness in a leapfrogging manner. This decision goes against the conventional understanding that in the state-society relationship, digital transformation in the bureaucracy is lagging behind and corporations are moving ahead. For Indonesia, with its strong motivation to accelerate national development and counter digital colonialism, a unique political-economic alliance and partnership was made for dramatic bureaucratic reform.This leapfrogging reform also implies that diplomatic mismatch is likely to happen in an international human capital development agenda where bureaucratic cooperation is increasingly necessary but the difference in bureaucratic reforms widens.

印尼任命一家本土科技公司的前首席执行官来改革官僚机构,这引发了一个问题:在数字化转型时代,政府如何重塑其在教育政治中的角色。这个问题不仅对理解国内政治很重要,而且对理解人力资本发展的对外关系也很重要。本文分析了印度尼西亚政府在2019年决定将科技和年轻人引入教育和文化部的案例。作者认为,这一决定既是为了国家,也是为了官僚机构的生存,也是为了寻求跨越式的竞争力。这一决定违背了传统的理解,即在国家与社会的关系中,官僚机构的数字化转型是落后的,而企业是领先的。对于印尼来说,由于其加速国家发展和反对数字殖民主义的强烈动机,一个独特的政治经济联盟和伙伴关系被建立起来,以进行戏剧性的官僚改革。这种跨越式改革还意味着,在官僚合作日益必要但官僚改革差异扩大的国际人力资本发展议程中,外交不匹配很可能发生。本工作得到了JSPS KAKENHI基金号JP22H03840和经济、贸易和工业研究所(RIETI)和九州大学承担的“数字威权化和民主化的地缘政治”研究项目的支持。注1 2023年东盟峰会,“增长的中心”,2023年东盟-印尼峰会。(https://asean2023.id/en/page/asean-2023/epicentrum-of-growth)。2随着知识经济的出现,政府主导的信息通信技术改革作为一项关键的国家议程,在联合国(UN)和经济合作与发展组织(OECD)的舞台上被反复吹捧。早期版本是联合国科学和技术促进发展委员会,为第三届会议准备的信息通信技术促进发展工作组报告:1997年5月12日。美国驻东盟代表团,“人力资本开发联合声明”,2020年11月14日。(https://asean.usmission.gov/joint-statement-on-human-capital-development-at-the-8th-asean-u-s-summit/)4他的公司Gojek最初以两轮叫车服务和快递服务起家,现在已经发展成为一个超级应用程序,提供20多种服务,从交通运输、食品配送、杂货、按摩、房屋清洁、物流到一个名为GoPay的无现金数字支付平台。该公司获得了“十角兽”(decacorn)的地位,这是一个金融术语,指的是市值至少达到100亿美元的初创公司在教育和文化部与研究技术部于2021年合并后,教育和文化部被命名为教育,文化,研究和技术部。国务文件和翻译副内阁秘书助理办公室,“总统佐科威任命7名千禧一代为总统特别工作人员”,2019年11月21日。(https://setkab.go.id/en/president-jokowi-names-7-millennials-as-presidential-special-staff/)7“佐科威挑选年轻人作为总统专家,因为他们有‘新鲜、创新的想法’”- National - The Jakarta Post。(https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/11/21/jokowi-picks-young-people-to-presidential-expert-staff-for-their-fresh-innovative-ideas.html.)8亚历克斯·汤普森,“拜登的科学办公室到处都是亿万富翁的指纹”,Politico.com, 2022年3月28日。(https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/28/google-billionaire-joe-biden-science-office-00020712)值得注意的是,埃里克·施密特(Eric Schmidt)的施密特期货公司(Schmidt Futures)发表了一份声明,否认了这篇报道的主旨,称“文章中未经证实的论点是司法部受到了不当影响,而事实并非如此。”这是一个明确的信号,表明这种“影响”被认为在政治上是非法的,这与印尼的情况形成了鲜明对比。施密特期货,“科学资助声明”,2022年3月28日。(https://www.schmidtfutures.com/our-work/statement-on-science-funding/)。施密特的否认被报道于2022年3月29日(https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/29/ex-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-responds-to-white-house-related-allegations.html).9印度尼西亚有通信和信息部)。10 Nobuhiro Aizawa,“印度尼西亚对国家安全的看法和看法”,安全研究,第03卷第2期2021年6月。同样见于《雅加达邮报》2019年10月23日。(https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/10/23/work-fast-work-hard-jokowi-conveys-hopes-for-his-new-cabinet-members.html).11 Andrew Rosser,《超越准入:让印尼教育系统运转起来》,Lowyinstitute.org, 2018年2月21日。(https://www.lowyinstitute。 29路透社网站,2022年7月10日,“中国监管机构对阿里巴巴和腾讯违规披露进行罚款。”(https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-regulator-fines-alibaba-tencent-disclosure-violations-2022-07-10/)30“滴滴表示,在中国下架这款应用将影响业务,”BBC.com, 2021年7月5日。(https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57716131)31《中国政府将收购阿里巴巴、腾讯的黄金股》,彭博网,2023年1月13日。(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-13/alibaba-tencent-fall-after-report-beijing-taking-golden-shares)32马云,《打破科技巨头垄断:科技巨头监管的未来十年》)《国际关系与可持续发展》,第2期。经合组织,2018年国际学生评估项目(PISA)结果,印度尼西亚,2018年。(https://www.oecd.org/pisa/publications/PISA2018_CN_IDN.pdf)35)纳迪姆在与前商务部长吉塔·维贾万的播客中谈到了他对低绩效教育体系作为改革优势的看法。《纳迪姆·马卡里姆:Siap DihujatDemi Bela Generasi Berikutnya》(纳迪姆·马卡里姆:为了保卫下一代,准备好接受任何亵渎的话),《终局之战》,2023年1月11日。(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSER7bEmkXg)36这一趋势的迹象已经可以在印尼总统2022年访问美国时看到。当佐科·维多多访问美国参加美国-东盟峰会时,他向印尼同胞展示了他在SpaceX工厂与埃隆·马斯克的会面,而不是与
