Abstract

ABSTRACT: The role of Indonesian think tanks as policy entrepreneurs is evolving as the government has become more open to the involvement of non-state actors.They are non-partisan, groups of intellectual, and have the power to determine their own research agenda, policy focus, and public purpose. Using the case study of the poverty alleviation-oriented Village Law, this paper examines how Indonesian think tank as policy entrepreneur influenced policymakers in the development processes. This paper also explores how think tanks interact with government institutions, parliament, universities, media, interest groups, civil society, and NGOs to create policy networks and achieve policy change.
