Direito de Petição Perante o Parlamento: Contributo para uma Caracterização do seu Exercício
Authors: Tibúrcio Tiago
Published: February 2019

Este artigo analisa a forma como se tem caracterizado o exercício do direito de petição perante o Parlamento e o tratamento que este instrumento de participação dos cidadãos tem merecido por parte deste órgão. As conclusões a que chegamos apontam no sentido de desmentir algumas das "ideias-feitas" sobre este instituto. Assim, apesar da extrema informalidade com que pode ser usado e da amplitude de interesses que podem ser prosseguidos (nomeadamente pessoais), verificamos que os peticionários têm privilegiado este instrumento para a defesa do interesse público. Ou ainda que, embora o número de petições apresentadas por entidades colectivas seja significativo, este instrumento ainda é maioritariamente um instrumento de participação dos cidadãos. Relativamente ao tratamento das petições pelo Parlamento, confirmámos a morosidade na sua apreciação, registando-se, no entanto, melhorias significativas ao longo dos últimos anos.

How Citizens View and Evaluate Political Parties and Why it Matters? The Case of Portugal (1985-2009)
Authors: Teixeira Conceição Pequito , Pereira Paulo Almeida
Published: February 2019

This article reviwes the case of the often-claimed "crisis of parties" in Portugal, and argues that such controversy rests partly on "ambiguous" evidence. Our two main objectives are: 1) finding out the nature and extension of public support (or lack thereof) of parties, determining what are the consequences of the lack of public support for parties in citizens´ pressure to reform democrtic institutions. Based on data of four National Public Opinion Surveys, we show that attitudes regarding parties comprehend two conceptually and empirically distinct dimensions: diffuse support and specific support. Afterwards we saw, how a strong criticism of parties' performance coexists in Portugal with strong citizen pressure over political actors compelling them to implement democratic reforms. Lastly, through logistical regression models, we can conclude that both lack of specific support ("critical antipartysism") and lack of diffuse support ("delegitimizing antipartysism") are strong preditors of Portuguese citizen´ reformist orientations and calls.
Is the Nation-State Declining in the Face of Globalisation?
Authors: Nguyen Hang
Published: February 2019

The impacts that globalisation has had on the nation-state has been one of the most important concerns of our time in terms of not only academic discussions but also public debates. Accordinlgy, there are bourgeoning body of literature in social sciences emphasising on various aspects of the correlation between globalisation and the nation-state, employing different theoretical and methodological approaches. Some scholars put forth the argument that under the pressure of the forces of globalisation the sovereignty of the nation-state has declined while the others maintain that the nation-state has not affected by the globalisation. This paper examines the impact that globalisation has had on the nation-state, reviewing the ways the nation-state tackle both direct and indirect challenges posed by globalisation. It concludes that the nation-state as a rational actor in the international system has been very flexible to minimize the negative impacts of globalisation and reap its benefits, noting that the nation-state has not declined in the face of globalisation.

Eurosteoporosis: A Novel Proposal for a Discussion on the Acting Level of the European Union in the International Politics
Authors: Arman Murat Necip
Published: February 2019

This study claims that the state of "Eurosclerosis" experience in the European Union countries has been transformed into to "Eurosteoporosis" as a result of developments resulting from several causes. As the European Union´s ability to solve the problems today it faces decreases, the prominence of its functional disability in institutional meaning and the ineffectiveness of steps taken to overcome problems incresase the concerns about the future of the European Union. It is not possible to claim that the European Union has undergone such a transformation that it can overcome the robust problems of the millenninum through the reforms after the Lisbon Treaty. The developments in international politics in the 2000s and the effects of the global financial crisis that the emerged after 2008 triggered the state of "Eurosteoporosis".
Biodiversity Governance in Developing Countries: Brazil 1990-2010
Authors: Couto Tatiana
Published: February 2019

This article approaches the evalution of various modes of environmental governance in developing countries by analyzing the Brazilian policy towards biological diversity between 1990 and 2010. Governance is broadly defined as an ensemble of systems of coordination and control among a variety of players with different purposes and objectives. This study draws on previous works on governance in the European Union (EU) that identify four main types of relationships between various political actors. Such relationships may be classified as follows: a) statism, characterized by a hierarchical relationship among political actors; b) pluralism, where a wider variety of private actors is observed; c) corporatism, where the state acts together with privileged private actors, and d) networks formed by public and private actors interacting over time. A historical-institutionalist approach coupled with process-tracing methodology allows for the comparison, over time, of critical trends in biodiversity governance clustered around three dimensions: actors (public-private dimension); institutions (rules and structures, decision making), and policy outcomes. By adapting this typology to the Brazilian case, this article seeks to shed light on the means by which public and private actors from developing countries participate in the formulation and negotiation of policies to contain biodiversity loss.Keywords: Biodiversity policy, Brazil, historical institutionalism, governance.
Cidadania do Conhecimento: o Sistema de Pontos Canadiano e a Cartão Azul da União Europeia Desvendados
Authors: Pedreira Sonya
Published: February 2019

Não obstante a crescente procura de migrantes altamente qualificados (detentores de conhecimento científico e tecnológico - logo o conhecimento por excelência nas sociedades hodiernas), pouca atenção é dispensada à avaliação dos sistemas de seleção que estão a montante da sua entrada em sociedades altamente competitivas. Este artigo procura expor uma análise crítica ao sistema de pontos canadiano e ao cartão azul da UE, enquanto instrumentos políticos legais de elevado significado político operacionalizados para a cativação de emigrantes altamente qualificados. Assim, iremos analisar e discutir com particular atenção as implicações destes sistemas na modelagem dos processos de integração e da própria cidadania, desvendando as dimensões inclusora e exclusora do conhecimento enquanto critério de acesso à legalidade e à cidadania. Este estudo conduz-nos a quatro grandes conclusões: (1) ambos os sistemas contribuem para a estratificação de indivíduos, (2) estes sistemas de seleção permitem a institucionalização da descriminação social e até cultural, (3) um número significativo de migrantes altamente qualificados enfrentam diversas barreiras na integração na sociedade canadiana, e (4) o sistema de pontos tal como o sistema do cartão azul revelam-se como sistemas de seleção restritivos e elitistas que fomentam a exclusão e o surgimento de uma cidadania fundamentada no conhecimento, promovendo subsequentemente uma política de 'education-based discrimination'.

Group-sharing, not Group-think: Understanding Foreign Policy Decision-Making through a Social Sharedness Approach
Authors: Da Vinha Luís
Published: February 2019

The concept of groupthink has dominated much of group research in Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA). However, groupthink´s sucess and proliferation in academic and popular circles has led to some general misinterpretations of the concept itself. While Janis´groupthink concept has received a wide amount of attention throughout the years, it has also been subject to various strands of criticism. In fact, groupthink´s broad popularity has not been based on the success of research findings. Also, groupthink challenges much of the research of social psychology undertaken in recent decades which reveals that particular group dynamics can actually contribute to more efficient decision-making. In this paper we seek to demystify the groupthink phenomenon and present an alternative assessment of group dynamics in foreign policy decision-making. We argue in favour of adopting a social cognition approach which can advance our understanding of how decision-making groups define the particular challenges that they face in the international political environment. More precisely, we present a conceptual framework based on social sharing mechanisms for comprehending how groups develop the problem representations that inform their foreign policy decisions. Ultimately, we seek to highlight the positive contributions of groups dynamics in effective decision-making.Key-words: group decision-making, groupthink, integration process, social psychology, social, sharing.
Social Capital and Quality of Democracy Revisited in a Comparative Perspective
Authors: Pequito Teixeira Conceição
Published: February 2019

To what extent, if any, does social capital contribute to the democratic formation of citizens´attitudes? It is a major influence among several others or just a minor one when it comes to forming political attitudes? This paper provides an empirical answer to these questions, drawing from the 2010 European Social Survey questionnaire. Its first section includes a discussion about the quality of democarcy in the culturalist approach of Political Science. The following section addresses the operationalization of the concept of quality of democracy and its main dimensions, with particular attention to social accountability. It then seeks to relate the concepts of social accountability as a pivotal dimension of the quality of democracy and social capital as formulated By Robert Putman. We used a multivariate regression analysis to test our hypotheses, which focus on whether the components that make up social capital have a differentiated impact on the formation of political attitudes, i.e. on the degree of satisfaction with democracy and trust in political institutions in old and new democracies.Key-Words: Quality of Democracy, Social Accountability, Social Capital, Satisfaction with Democracy, Trust in Political Institutions.
Uprising Nuances: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan´s Social Mobilizations and Order Maintenance
Authors: Moreira Leite de Mello Guilherme
Published: February 2019

Social mobilization in Central Asia comes in a rare form, alongside political, economic, social and ethnical overtones, aligned with post-Sovietic difficulties and dependencies. Although standing as independent nations, economic instabilities, political insurgencies and social inequalities are triggering circumstances of uprisings in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgystan. As countries still struggling to sustain and perpetrate democratic values, social mobilization resurface as a tool to establish political change. However, although understanding that the range of protests are regional and do not offer its nations a challenge concerning national security, the casualties and government accommodations were not as peaceful and organized as it was expected. The participation of the international community, specially playing a role in cooperating and co-opting with Central Asian insurgencies, is a crucial for the understanding of these protests as a way of its population to come in aid of their own political standards and voicing their grievances towards its ruling elites. Nevertheless, the necessity of social mobilization in Central Asian countries arrive in a time and place where its political standards can do no longer curb its dependencies and sufficiently generates instabilities that are most certainly, critical.Key-Words: International relations, Central Asia, social mobilization, political instability.
Os Protestos de Junho de 2013 e as Lacunas da Democracia e da Cidadania no Brasil
Authors: Trindade Dias Iris de Mel
Published: February 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma análise contextual dos protestos de Junho de 2013 no Brasil, de modo a explorar, a partir das várias motivações identificadas para a mobilização das massas, as lacunas existentes na democracia brasileira em termos de consolidação do Estado de Direito Democrático e da cidadania. A partir dessas questões traçaremos uma reflexão sobre a relação entre cidadania e democracia no Brasil abordando o conceito clássico de cidadania proposto por Marshall, observando como os direitos civis, políticos e sociais encontram obstáculos de consolidação no País. Além da abordagem histórica e contextual, observaremos dados dos Estudos Eleitorais Brasileiros para que possamos refletir sobre as perceções dos cidadãos acerca da democracia e das instituições no Brasil. Para trabalharmos com a questão do funcionamento do Estado de Direito, utilizaremos elementos da Teoria Institucionalista, assim como utilizaremos elementos colocados por Charles Tilly sobre políticas contenciosas para lançar luz sobre as formas de relação entre Estado e sociedade civil em contexto de insatisfação com a ineficiência do regime democrático.Palavras-Chave: Protestos, democracia, cidadania, Brasil, Estado de Direito.
Democracy and the Dynamics of Indifference
Authors: Varnero Rawson Stefania
Published: February 2019

The present study adresses the problem of citizen indifference in democracy and argues that there is a causal connection between sovereign state interest and the pervasive influence od indifference among citizenry. This research argues that political indifference is the result of precise dynamics that gradually dissolve the democratic foundations of the state and impose a stronger authority. A a consequence, three dynamics of indifference are proposed as drivers of sovereign interest to render a citizenry passive on issues of democratic importance. There are 'paranoid thinking' based on fear, where a problem marked by urgency activates insecurity and instigates citizens to request the state´s strong intervention. The 'epistemology of control' based on a  central structure of command marks the second dynamic as a progressive pluralisation of powers, with political pratices increasingly substracted to the public's jurisdiction. Finally, the third 'dynamic invisibility and marginality' signals the disappearance of the initial problem from the public interest. I suggest that the use of discourse constructed around these three dynamics is the key to controlled opinions in lieu of a flagrant ideological indoctrination. The resulting effect is that the state is strengthened whilst the civic engagement of citizens desintegrates, yet within processes that remain 'democratic' in form if not substance.Key-Words: Democracy, Citirency, Political Indifference, Sovereignty.
Political Parties and Participative Approaches to Democracy
Authors: Gianolla Cristiano
Published: February 2019

Representative democracy is currenty facing strong social criticism for its incapacity to envolve people in a way that makes them part of the decision-making process. An existing gap between the representatives and the represented is hereby emphasized. In this space, the role of political parties is central in order to bridge society with institutions. How much are parties concerned about this issue? How and in which context do they interact more with their electorate and the wider society? Participatory democracy is emerging throughout the world in different forms and with different results, but the dominant pattern of democracy remains the liberal western democratic paradigm in which people can contribute barely through electing candidates. In order to achieve what Boaventura de Sousa Santos calls ‘democratisation of democracy’ the role of political parties is therefore fundamental in particular to achieve a more participative democracy within the representative model. This article approaches this theme through a bibliographic review comparing social movements and political parties with a focus on the innovation of the Five Star Movement in Italy. Finally, it provides a reading of the relationship between political parties andparticipation, including good practice and perspectives.KEYWORDS: Participation, political parties, social movements, political movements, representative democracy, participatory democracy.
Politics of Impoverishment in Nigeria from 1967 to Present: Fuel to Terrorism and National Insecurity
Authors: Kelechi Ani Johnmary , Ugochukwu Osisioma Samuel
Published: February 2019

The character of leadership in a country often influencies the ship of nation building in that state. Nigeria is one country that is yet to have the blessing of transformational leardership since independence. However, by 1967 when the civil war started, selfishness took-over the ambitions of the war-time leaders and by the end of the war, the country's petty-elite have become conscious of the need to manipulate poverty in order to ensure their grip of power. This work shows how the Nigerian ruling class have exploited the masses and used the army of impoverished citizenry to wage war on the state and its resourses. Hence, when they disbanded each group of these armed men, they easily turned themselves into a network of kidnappers and Boko Haram activists, thereby increasing terrorism and national insecurity in the country. The work called for a change of political behaviour both on the leadership and the citizenry towards building a better as well as safe country.Key-Words: Politics, Terrorism, Insecurity, Boko Haram and Poverty.
O "Ajustamento" e os Impactos, Consequências Alterações Decorrentes - As relações Externas de Portugal
Authors: Ponte e Sousa Pedro , Braziela Daniela
Published: February 2019

A crise finaceira internacional de 2007-2008, criando terreno para a crise das dívidas soberanas que se seguiram, tiveram forte impacto no país, no seu PIB, desemprego e dívida pública. Ao cabo de três anos do pedido de assistência financeira do governo português ao FMI, BCE e Comissão Eurpeia (vulgo troika), interessa compreender se esta intervenção austeritária, com âmbito nas finanças públicas, estabillização financeira e competitividade, provocou alterações assinaláveis na política externa portuguesa, em particular no âmbito económico. Para tal, analisaremos: os programas dos governos mais recentes e a nova "diplomacia económica", os documentos acordados entre o Estado português e as instituições internacionais, variáveis macroeconómicas relevantes, e demais documentação, discursos e notícias. Interessa-nos, em particular, compreender se o peso dos parceiros (relações bilaterais estrurais nomeadamente comerciais) se alterou significativamente e apontar possíveis pistas (fontes, impulsos) para tais alterações, mas também se Portugal se terá centrado, neste período, em países com os quais as relações já eram fortes como suporte para a saída da crise económica, ou se procurou efetivamente parceiros novos e inesperados, tentando atestar se as relações externas portuguesas foram afetadas significativamente pela intervenção da troika, atentando a possíveis alterações de prioridades e objetivos do Estado português.Palavras-Chave: Crise finaceira, Programa de ajustamento económico e financeiro, Política externa portuguesa, relações comerciais bilaterais, diplomacia económica.
A Agenda da Segurança e do Desenvolvimento (Humano) Pós 2015: Análise e Reflexões Prospetivas
Authors: Xavier Ana Isabel
Published: February 2019

Foi em Setembro de 2000 que os 189 Estados-membros das Nações-Unidas, reunidos na Cimeira do Milénio, se comprometeram a guiar os seus esforços coletivos em torno de oito Objetivos do milénio (ODM) no que diz respeito ao combate à pobreza e ao desenvolvimento sustentável. 15 anos volvidos, a ONU prepara-se para implementar a agenda 2015-2030 através dos renovados Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Para além de salientarmos o balanço e a devida cronologia destes objetivos, iremos privilegiar também uma análise prospetiva que tome em consideração as futuras tendências globais em termos de fluxos migratórios, crescimento demográfico e acesso a recursos (comida e água). De facto, quando fixamos a nossa atenção no pós 2015 importa ter em conta quer a relação entre a dinâmica da população e a sustentabilidade do planeta, quer o bem-estar e o respeito pelos Direitos Humanos. Para além disso, a anarrativa subjacente aos objetivos de desenvolvimento das Nações Unidas parece ser a da insistente securitização do desenvolvimento, pelo que importa também perceber como o nexo entre a segurança e o desenvolvimento influi na matriz de análise das tendências futuras.Palavras-Chave: Segurançsa, Desenvolvimento, Sustentabilidade, Nações Unidas, Prospetiva.

Tra fonti erudite e lettori ordinari: una traduzione seicentesca del Satyricon
Authors: Onelli Corinna
Published: February 2019

The paper presents a 17th-century translation of the Satyricon into Italian transmitted in manuscript. The translation is anonymous and presumably was intended for the illegal market of clandestine manuscripts. Material evidence shows that the translation actually circulated across time and among popular readers. The comparison between the Italian translation and 16th – and 17th editions of Petronius has revealed that the translator started his work on the obsolete text of the excerpta brevia (that is, the Satyricon as published before1575) and then shifted to the the excerpta longiora tradition, likely using the Satyricon edition published in 1601 (reprinted in 1608). Such a mixture of source texts proves the translator’s total lack of philological accuracy. In addition, he made several translation errors. However, surprisingly enough, the Italian translation underpins an excellent work of textual criticism on Petronius’ text. The suggested explanation is that the translator or a later reviser emendated the translation following a highly specialised commentary. Some translation errors, in fact, can be explained only as critical indications that have been completely misunderstood. The papers concludes putting in relation the success of the Satyricon among 17th-century popular readers with its reception as a subversive parody of the Greek novel and its traditional values.I have a PhD in Italian Studies (2006) from the Università RomaTre of Rome. Currently, I am a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the EHESS in Paris. My recent research interests are focused on the Early Modern Period; more specifically, on the translation and receptions of Classics and the circulation of heterodox texts.

The Upright Man: Favorinus, his Statue, and the Audience that Brought it Low
Authors: Brod Artemis
Published: February 2019

This article analyzes the performative strategies employed by Favorinus in his Corinthian Oration. Previous scholarship has focused on two aspects of this speech: on the ways in which Favorinus agonistically alludes to Corinthian history, thereby challenging the city’s authority to dismantle his statue; and second, on his insistence that identity is constructed by paideia, a claim that is representative of second century Greek elite culture. I follow the general line of interpretation elaborated in these readings but draw out an aspect of Favorinus’ rhetorical strategy that has been overlooked. Inspired by recent feminist critiques of rectitude and straightness, I argue that Favorinus relies on an orientating rhetoric in order to both resurrect his statue and assert his masculinity against imputations of effeminacy.Artemis Brod is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Classical Studies department at Indiana University, Bloomington. Currently, she is working on a book project called As Myself: Recognition and Performance in Greek Imperial Oratory in which she investigates techniques of self-presentation used by sophists to gain recognition—aesthetic and social—from their audiences. More broadly, she is interested in representations of the body and narrative form in second century CE literature. She received her PhD from Stanford University in 2016.

Authors: Tripathi Anju , Tripathi Abhinav Priyadarshi
Published: February 2019

Objective: Given the importance of intrinsic motivation factors of teachers, the objective of this paper is to define how far these intrinsic factors are associated with academic performance. The purpose is to find out the
significance of intrinsic factors of teachers in their performance outcomes and to examine “In any manner is it contributing towards fulfillment of the objective of quality education? Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper has a two part structure.
The first part establishes the research theme with the help of qualitative literature. The second part fulfills the research objectives by utilizing statistical tools: Chi square test and Somers' D test. Findings: The findings of the research clearly
indicate that intrinsic motivation factors of teachers have an association with their academic performance. As per the results, among the three selected intrinsic motivation factors, creativity and self-efficacy factors have stronger association with
performance as compared to personal vision factor of motivation. Research limitations: In this research work, it is assumed that the external work environment is same as respondents are selected from different institutes of the same university but
within the university there is a possibility of micro level dissimilarities. Another limitation is the possibility of biased responses of respondents. Implications: The results focus on the importance of intrinsic motivation and suggest that the
educational institutions should develop supportive environment in which teachers can utilize their inner attributes and contribute in the growth of quality education. Originality/value: The research paper helps to the teachers, students and academic
institutions by providing them a better understanding of intrinsic factors of motivation and academic performance as well as its significance in the development of quality education.
Managing the Era of Multi-Cultural Leadership
Authors: Rahul M. , Ganesan R.
Published: February 2019

Leaders in the global arena are the one who face the challenges never seen before, while coordinating work and managing relationship between team members coming from varied ethnic groups. Globalization has undoubtedly opened
up endless growth opportunities for both, businesses and individuals, by collaborating with each other, but with certain inherent challenges. These challenges are the difference in the cultural background of the team members, which gets predominantly
reflected in their behavior at workplace too. The cultural differences exist primarily due to differences in shared values, which form the basis for difference in perception and practices of decision making by an individual (Hofstede, 1980). Juana
Bordas has rightly described that any business that fails to adapt their leadership style aligning with multi-cultural approach will find it difficult to thrive in a more colorful world. Leadership style has witnessed various facets of changing work
environment that has demanded from leaders to modify their approach to adapt along and be effective and survive in the ever-changing environment of business (Bordas,2007).A cross-culture leader plays a significant role in knitting the diverse
workforce into an efficient team; which requires a leader to very well understand the various dimensions of culture. This understanding of the leader enables him to learn about blending of leadership styles to address the challenges of such work
environment. This paper is an extended work on 'Leadership in Cross-Cultural Environment – A Comparison of Asian and Non-Asian Managers' (Rahul and Ganesan, 2015). The extended research study has identified that enhanced work experience of
cross-culture leaders enables them in effective team management, than the rise in designation, as it results in creation of hierarchical distance between the leaders and subordinates.
Teachings of Bhagavad Gita for Marketing
Authors: Kumar Dinesh , Mahapatra Jyotirmaya
Published: February 2019

Contrary to the Indian philosophy of “Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam”, western design of management is based upon the Darwin's principle of the survival of the fittest which promoted the philosophy of 'dog eats dog'. Bulkiness of the
bottom line of the balance sheet became the yardstick of the success of an organization and ethics, values and lifelong emotional bonding with people are pushed to the peripheral level where customers became 'consumer' and workers a 'hirable and
replaceable commodity' and management professionals as 'tools to improvise the bottom line' without realizing that profit is not the sole motto as the purpose of organization is to create values to the society and profit is just a byproduct. Ethics
and values are different from rules/regulations because it provides criteria for evaluating action based upon certain desirable norms but has no legal binding. The management is expected to follow the highest ethical standards as management is not
just accountable to shareholders but also responsible towards stake holders and responsibility of management professionals from public work cannot be veiled behind the professionalism. Moreover, the great organization cannot be created without values
and ethics. Only those organizations can survive till eternity that follow highest standard of ethics, moral values and create values for the society. It is difficult to accept that an organization follows highest standard of ethics, values and
emotions in its internal management but can afford to remain low in ethical standards with customers. Organizations have realized the importance of ethics in marketing for the benefits in long term. Adoptions of ethical practices in marketing create
positive energy in the organization and generate interest of the customer in products/ services, develop customer confidence in organization's brand and leads to loyalty. A loyal and satisfied customer and organization's brand value gives pride among
employees who develops a sense of satisfaction and loyalty towards the organization which can be understood by the following flow chart: Ethical marketing behavior Satisfied customer and Brand loyalty Strong Citizen Brand Spiritually pure Business

Authors: Salqaura Siti Sabrina , Mulyo Jangkung Handoyo , Darwanto Dwidjono Hadi
Published: February 2019

One of government interventions to encourage the improvement of agriculture sector output is through fiscal policy in the form of government spending. Total government expenditure in provincial aggregate is used as government spending. The availability of fiscal decentralization policy provides an opportunity for the provincial government to manage the government expenditure allocation. This research aims to discover the influence of fiscal policy in Java by using the government expenditure variable and to find the influence of foreign investment, domestic investment and agricultural labor absorption toward GRDP of agriculture subsectors. This research used regression analysis of cross section SUR fixed effect panel data. The results indicate the total expenditure having significant positive effect towards GRDP of agriculture subsectors are the subsectors of food crops, plantation, livestock and fishery. Forestry subsector cannot be analyzed further because the error is not normally distributed. The absorption of labor in agriculture sector has significant negative effect towards plantation and livestock subsectors. The foreign investment has significant positive effect towards livestock subsector and domestic investment has negative significant influence towards GRDP of food crops subsector. The provincial government needs to support agriculture subsectors by allocating expenditure that will increase GRDP of agriculture subsectors and increasing foreign direct investment and domestic investment to agriculture subsectors.
