Policy Entrepreneurship and Bureaucratic System: Exploring the Role of Strategic Actors and Implications for the Performance of Food Security Policy in Indonesia

Abstract

This study focuses on bureaucracy as a policy entrepreneur in implementing food security policy in Indonesia. Based on the results of the pattern matching techniques, the role of policy entrepreneurs is ineffective in implementing food security policy because the bureaucratic system does not allow for displaying social acuity, defining problems, building teams, and leading by example effectively. Therefore, the bureaucracy needs to build an entrepreneurial bureaucracy system so that policy entrepreneurs can make the internal and external cooperation of the government bureaucracy effective for the joint use of resources.
