Emansipasi Intelektual Jacques Rancière
Authors: Drianus Oktarizal
Published: February 2021

This paper aims to show at once critics and solutions for the logic of critical education, which has recently been sporadically appropriated by educational institutions and communities in Indonesia. This paper uses the method of library research with primary sources, namely: The Ignorant Schoolmaster: Five Lessons in Intellectual Emancipation by Jacques Rancière. Findings shed light on several things, namely: 1) Rancière's critics of critical education which perpetuates the paradox of equality; 2) The experience of “the teacher who did not know”, Josep Jacotot who accidentally found a way of learning that emancipated his students; 3) Rancière’s criticism of the explicative order which perpetuated the myth of pedagogy. Therefore, the world is divided into two: superior intelligence and inferior intelligence. So that, it made up the imaginary distance, thus it tied the domination relation between the master of explicator and the subordinated ones; 4) Rancière’s critics of the fundamental assumptions of critical education that it puts equality as teleological fiction. In fact, it plunges us into a spiral of stultification. Rancière opposed it. Thus, the presupposition of equality must be put in place as an emancipatory point of departure; 5) the notion of natural universal teaching as a way of learning for everyone.

 

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan kritik sekaligus solusi atas logika pendidikan kritis yang akhir-akhir ini diapropriasi secara sporadis oleh lembaga pendidikan maupun komunitas-komunitas di Indonesia. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kajian kepustakaan dengan sumber primer, yaitu: The Ignorant Schoolmaster: Five Lessons in Intellectual Emancipation karya Jacques Rancière. Temuan dari kajian ini memuat beberapa hal, yaitu: 1) Kritik Rancière terhadap pendidikan kritis yang menyimpan paradoks kesetaraan; 2) pengalaman sang guru yang tidak tahu, Josep Jacotot; 3) Kritiknya terhadap rezim penjelasan yang turut melanggengkan mitos pedagogis. Karenanya, dunia terbagi menjadi dua: kecerdasan superior dan kecerdasan inferior sehingga menciptakan jarak imajiner dan ketergantuan yang terus dikonfirmasi oleh pihak dominan terhadap pihak subordinat; 4) kritik terhadap asumsi pendidikan kritis yang meletakkan kesetaraan sebagai fiksi teleologis yang justru menjerumuskan kita ke dalam spiral pembodohan. Rancière menepisnya bahwa semestinya pra-andaian kesetaraan mesti diletakkan sebagai titik berangkat pendidikan yang emansipatoris; 5) Tawaran Pengajaran Universal-Alamiah sebagai cara belajar untuk semua orang.

Published: February 2021

The article is concerned with the current principles of regional development management and formation of regional policy. The key aspects and mechanisms of regional governance such as public administration and regionalistics are examined. The directions of research in the sphere of regional development management are provided. The main stages and components that provide for the implementation of the State policy of regional development are considered. Based on both Ukrainian and European regional development strategies, the following key principles of regional development management and regional policy formation are allocated: regional development based on the principles of sustainability; regional development based on the principles of circular economy; regional development based on the principles of typologization of regions; regional development based on the principles of investment policy. Each of these principles is considered separately in terms of the importance of application in the formation of regional development policy. During the analysis, it was noted that the topical issues in the formation of regional development strategies on the basis of sustainability were and remain the issues of assessment of the achieved results, which are distilled down to the development of a single conception and determination of the relevant goals of the group of indicators on which this conception should be based. It also emphasized the need to develop certain measures for the implementation of circular business models, development of transition strategy and policy of both the State-controlled and regional support. It is specified that in order to effectively develop territories in the management of regional development and formation of regional policy, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of each region, and therefore to perform a preliminary typologization. When considering regional investments in the formation of a regional development strategy, it is emphasized that in the formation of an effective investment policy at the regional level, the application of the approach based on the typologization of regions both in terms of development in general and in terms of investment development in particular becomes an important aspect. The general conception of regional development management and regional policy formation has been formed. The author emphasizes the conformity of such a conception to modern conditions for the development of Ukrainian regions.
The Main Trends of Globalization and Urbanization and Taking into Account their Impact in the Process of Managing the Development of Regions of Ukraine
Authors:   Cherkasy City Council, Polishchuk A. S.
Published: February 2021

The article is aimed at determining trends in urbanization and globalization to take into account their influence in the process of managing the development of regions of Ukraine. It is defined that the level of urbanization in Ukraine over the past 30 years is high, while the regions of the country are significantly differentiated by the level of urbanization. The most urbanized are Donetsk, Luhansk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions. The only region of Ukraine where the level of urbanization is being reduced is Zakarpattya region. Three regions of Ukraine - Ternopil, Chernihiv and Khmelnytsky are characterized by the most intensive urbanization processes, where the growth of urbanization is now almost ten times higher than the national average over the past 30 years. The research identified the main urbanization challenges, in particular: deepening the economic gap between cities and villages and between large cities and cities of region significance; economic development of the region determines the ability to unite and concentrate the creative capital; increase in inequality and segregation of the population; growth of the suburb crisis; unreasonable increase in house prices in cities to a level that is inaccessible to the majority of the population. The most significant globalization challenges include: increased global competition, growing regional differentiation and specialization; degradation of the real sector of the economy; significant increase in energy consumption; restricting access of a large part of the population to high-quality goods and services at reasonable prices; change of natural and climatic conditions for people’s life, strengthening ecological problems. The unreasonability of the widespread statement on the ineffectiveness of agglomerations and excessive absorption of resources is proven. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of theoretical principles and the development of practical recommendations for improving the adoption of managerial decisions at the level of regional governance bodies, taking into account the challenges of globalization and urbanization.

Effective until 2014 in Ukraine, the system of local self-government did not meet the existing needs of society. The functioning of local self-government bodies in most territorial communities did not provide the formation and support of the proper level of quality of life of citizens, necessary for the full development of people, their self-realization, protection of rights, provision of high-quality and affordable administrative, social and other services, did not create a favorable living space in the respective territories. The process of formation and development of the Ukrainian State required urgent reform of the administrative-territorial, political system and the establishment of a democratic institution of public power - local self-government, which is defined as the right and real capacity of a territorial community within the laws and powers to independently solve the issues of local development of their territories. Therefore, the reform of decentralization of power in Ukraine in 2014 was defined as one of the priorities, which provides for the construction of an effective system of territorial organization of power and public management of socio-economic development of territories. A detailed study of the experience of the formation and functioning of local self-government, best practices of the world countries, and in particular the EU countries, which have achieved sustainable development of territories and improved the welfare of their citizens, is relevant for the development of modern Ukraine and its regions and territories, as well as for the formation of its own effective public administration system at the local level.
Theoretical Approaches to the Formation of Social Capital
Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Volchkova H. K.
Published: February 2021

The article examines the peculiarities of the emergence and formation of the concept of social capital. The article is aimed at a theoretical substantiation of the process of formation of social capital and formulation of the definition of the category of «social capital» from the position of multiaspectivity of its study. The formation of social capital is considered as a process of creating and capitalizing social ties. It is proved that the process of formation of social capital is characterized by the presence of not only direct, but also inverse interactions between the subjects in the exchange of resources. The mutual influence of factors that change due to the use of social capital is substantiated, and conclusions about the process of formation of social capital are drawn as follows: social interactions should be considered as a mutually inverse process of linear nature; the content of social capital is determined not by «input» factors, but the structural characteristics of the mechanism of influence on social capital; each time when studying the impact of certain factors on social capital, the consequences are much wider; dynamics (pace, speed) of changes in the amount of social capital multiplicatively influences socio-economic processes; there is a possibility of transition of positive dynamics of the growth of social capital into the negative dynamics and vice versa; the presence of synergistic effect due to the influence of factors of both direct and inverse influence on the formation of social capital. The formation of social capital is a dynamic and multifactorial process of accumulation of social ties on the basis of trust, characterized by systemic relationships of both direct and inverse influence, the defined interdependences of structural components of social capital, which are influenced by cultural, historical, economic, political, socio-psychological, mental, and information factors.

Published: February 2021

The article undertakes a comprehensive study of problems of spatial differentiation of tourist attractiveness in terms of Ukrainian regions. The main components of differentiation are defined and it is identified that the assessment of tourist attractiveness of certain regions in terms of spatial differentiation is the basis for the formation of an efficient and profitable tourism business, it determines the peculiarities and structure of the regional tourist product, new tourist routes, formation of priority directions, etc. In the course of an analysis of literary sources of famous scientists-economists, the author’s definition of the category of «spatial differentiation» in the sphere of tourism was elaborated. The article sums up the main factors that characterize the tourist attractiveness of the regions of Ukraine, through which it is possible to assess the tourist attractiveness of the respective regions to identify the most promising directions of development of the tourism sphere and overcome spatial differentiation, which will allow developing an effective strategy for sustainable development of tourism in the regions in the future. The author’s definition of «tourist attractiveness of region« is proposed, which takes into account all theoretical-methodological and practical researches of the problem. Methods for solving problems of multidimensional assessment are defined and it is substantiated that the method of taxonomic analysis distinguishes the simplicity of the mathematical apparatus, the absence of any requirements for the set of the objects studied, a more convenient scale of the received estimates, making it easier to analyze and rank objects. The scheme of taxonomic analysis using factor analysis is proposed, the main purpose of which is to reduce the number of indicators and determine the structure of the relationships between them. The matrix of standardized indicator values was developed and it was concluded that the use of the economic-mathematical model, which is based on taxonomic analysis, allows forming reasonable sets of indicators and getting ratings of regions of Ukraine by the level of the economic component of tourist attractiveness. Practical application of this method is shown in the definition of progressive and depressed regions of Ukraine in the sphere of provision of tourist services.

An important function of the socially oriented State is the formation of its social security. The implementation of a number of measures that guarantee the protection of interests in the social sphere of both an individual citizen and the country as a whole is a task of social security. The purpose of the article is to develop a conceptual approach to the formation of a new quality of life as part of social security. The provisions of the conceptual approach to the formation of social standards of a new quality of life as part of social security in Ukraine are formulated. One of the steps towards the systematic transformation of social policy is the development of a conceptual scheme for the formation of social standards of a new quality of life in Ukraine, which closer defines and details its components: principles, techniques, directions of use, sources of funding, forms of financing, system of provision. It is noted that the basis for the construction of a conceptual scheme for the formation of social standards of a new quality of life in Ukraine is the use of two groups of techniques: the first group directly reflects the provision of citizens: determining the norms and standards of quality of life of the population, determining the normative standard of living, determining the budget limits; the second – indirectly, through the tariff policy in the sphere of social insurance and benefits influences the welfare of citizens. It is also emphasized that in the formation of social policy in terms of determining the social standards of a new quality of life it is necessary to combine and gradually move from the administrative-subsidized to the insurance system of provision. Formation of social standards of new quality of life of the population of Ukraine in the context of social security requires the State to form a balanced socio-economic policy, which aims to implement structural changes in the economy in the context of the implementation of social priorities of society, to form a socially fair and effective system of distribution of created amenities, to ensure social orientation of expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine.

Published: February 2021

The article works out the essence of theoretical concepts of both the internal and the international effects named after I. Fisher. A review of professional publications gave reason to conclude that in the countries with higher levels of marketing of the economy, the strength of these effects is higher, which indicates a higher level of integration of their national financial markets into the global financial market. Based on the results of an econometric analysis, the authors have concluded about the relative weakness of the internal Fisher Effect and, consequently, on the need to use multifactor analysis in the study of the dynamics of the real interest rate in Ukraine. The empirical evaluation of the dependencies of monetary variables in the model describing the international Fisher Effect gave reason to conclude about the relative weakness of this effect, in particular for the currency pair of «dollar – hryvnia», and therefore, the differential of national interest rates is not sufficient basis for forecasting the dynamics of the foreign exchange rate. The article uses a number of statistical criteria and tests to examine the used econometric model, which gave grounds to conclude about its adequacy and statistical significance of variables. The authors elaborated the factors that have a restrictive impact on the international movement of capital and therefore can cause differences in the real interest rates, especially in emerging markets, namely: asymmetry of market information, psychological barriers, national legislative restrictions that quota the international capital flows, high transactional costs, peculiarities of the tax system, currency risks, political risks, etc. The thesis that the presence of weak Fisher Effects for the Ukrainian economy is one of the reasons for the low effectiveness of the interest channel of the transfer mechanism of monetary policy in Ukraine is substantiated.

Published: February 2021

The article is aimed at actualizing the definition of the essence and content of the concept of small business in view of further research of its functional capacity in the changing conditions of today. To achieve this aim, the essence and content of the concept of small business are defined, which is a system of relations arising from the interaction of small and medium-sized business entities with representatives and institutions of the market on an initiative basis of conduct of economic activity, which is accomplished at the expense of own or borrowed resources at their own risk and subject to social responsibility and sets the main goal of profit and the own business development. The definition of small business as a system of relations provides the advantages of a system approach as an instrument for researching the complex systems, where any of the systems is seen a set of interrelated elements that have «input» – purpose and «output» – result, as well as communication with the external environment, feedback and processes, that is, consistent changes in objects and phenomena occurring in a certain order. Determination of the role of small business in the national economy is carried out on the basis of its main properties, namely: rapid adaptation to the level of demand and purchasing power in local markets; ability to create unique products and fulfill one-time orders of consumers; organization of paid employment of a significant number of people against the background of a reduction in the production of large enterprises; development of local crafts, taking into account the mental specifics of consumers; facilitation of professional training of employees on the basis of acquiring practical skills. On the basis of the results of regression analysis, the existence of a close relationship between the condition of small business development and the condition of the country's economy is proved. The analysis was carried out according to official statistics of Ukraine for the period of six years (2013–2018). Based on the results obtained, it can be suggested that the creation of conditions for the development of small business on the part of the State will contribute to the strengthening of the State economic system.

In today’s conditions, it is quite problematic to pick out a State that does not use borrowings in order to further finance the needs of the State budget. Therefore, one of the most important problems of the economy of each country is the problem of changing the volume of public debt. The concept of public debt is immediately associated with a negative phenomenon. However, the experience of many countries shows the opposite – public debt is within the permissible limits of no potential threat to the economy. However, in Ukraine, its indicators in recent years have been steadily increasing and far exceeding the limits of the norm. This tendency is due to a number of factors on which the amount of public debt depends. The article is aimed at disclosing the theoretical aspects of the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt of Ukraine, as well as their differences. The structure of the debt and its volumes during 2016-2020 are researched. The views of foreign and domestic researchers on determining the concept of the aggregate public debt are considered. As result of the study, the current status of Ukraine’s public debt is reflected and the dynamics of both the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt in terms of their components have been analyzed for the past four years. The dependence of both the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt on the size of gross domestic product is considered. The share of the internal and the external debt in the composition of the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt respectively is analyzed. On the basis of the carried out analysis, the factors that affect the change in debt volumes, the main factors and causes that led to the growth of both the public and the State-guaranteed debt in Ukraine are defined, as well as the main trends and specific features of its formation. As a result, measures are proposed to overcome these problems.
Savings of the Population as a Source of the Banks’ Resources: The Essence, Status, and Prospects
Authors:   Educational and Scientific Institute «Karazin Banking Institute», Viadrova I. M. , Morozov O. V. ,   V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University
Published: February 2021

The article is aimed at theoretical deepening the understanding of the essence of savings of the population and their role in the formation of the resource base of banks, as well as analyzing the domestic banking practices on the use of this source in the formation of the banks’ resources. The article explores the essence of savings of the population and defines their role in the formation of the banks’ resources. Based on the consideration of the approaches to understanding the concept of «savings of the population», it is stated that their essence is manifested in four aspects: firstly, the savings of the population are a deferred part of their income; secondly, savings are part of the money supply; thirdly, savings can be conceived as the process of making decisions on asset accumulation; fourthly, savings are embodied in the accumulated assets of different nature. The authors’ own understanding of the concept of «savings of the population» is proposed. The main forms of savings of the population, which are represented by both the financial and the non-financial instruments, are generalized. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of analytical indicators of savings of the population and their role in the formation of the banks’ resources. It is determined that the savings of the population play an exceptionally important role in the formation of the resource base of banks. This is justified by the share of deposits of individuals in the resources of banks, which since 2015 has been steadily growing and at the end of 2019 amounted to 37%. The problematic aspect in the analysis of public savings is the lack of data on their size accumulated by the total. The assessment of the State-based programs of Ukraine showed that they do not focus on the importance and role of savings of the population as a source of investment resources for the development of the economy. The main tendencies and problems that prevent the maximum efficient use of savings of the population for the formation of banks’ resources are allocated.

The article focuses on identifying and systematizing the hallmarks of the COVID-19 recession as unprecedented in terms of the both spread and impact on the global economy in the phase of business activity downturn. The dynamics of the main indicators of economic growth are researched and it is substantiated that the negative linear forecast trends allow forecasting the long-term recovery period after the current global recession. It is shown that the global recession of 2020 negatively affects the prospects for the recovery of major national economies of the world, given the high probability of the introduction of repeated quarantine restrictions. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of the index of global economic uncertainty, the world economy is confirmed to be in the most uncertain state during the period of observations. According to the analysis of the values of the barometer of world trade in goods in 2020, negative changes in the structure and dynamics of foreign trade turnover and doubt for the rapid recovery of global supply chains were evidenced. Based on the generalization of the results of the study, key distinctive signs of the COVID-19 economic recession have been systematized justifying that, in addition to any recession inherent in the loss of growth rate of world production, the current economic crisis is accompanied by a drop reaching the critical deadlines of a number of indicators of the intensity of global development, which confirms its unprecedented spread and impact on the world economy. It is substantiated that the confirmation of the determined trends allows to predict the long-term negative consequences of the modern global recession, which leads to the need to substantiate the directions of recovery of the world economy and foreign trade cooperation of the countries under crisis conditions.
The International Anti-Offshore Regulation in the Context of Global Financial Imbalances
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after V. Hetman, Maksymenko A. V.
Published: February 2021

At the present stage of development of the world economy, problems of capital migration in offshore zones began to manifest in relief, which adversely affects the state of the global financial system. These trends lead to the need to evaluate new directions of the anti-offshore regulation. It is proved that the transformation of the anti-offshore regulation by its nature, driving forces, vector orientation and mechanism of development at all stages of the world-economy progress clearly reflects the systemic transformations of global financial imbalances. It is found out that the evaluation of offshore jurisdictions comes out of the degree of transparency of their activities, as well as readiness to cooperate on the exchange of tax information within the framework of the OECD’s special concept of mutual assistance in tax affairs. The role of international organizations in regulating anti-offshore activities has been identified, and the prospects for their influence have been evaluated. It is determined that the anti-offshore regulation is implemented, on the one hand, through shifting of emphasis from combating the fiscal benefits of offshore zones to limit activities with the «black» (tax-free) zones, and on the other hand – through the mechanisms of international economic policy implemented on the institutional platform of international currency together with the credit and financial organizations. The author describe preventive measures on tax evasion, which consist in the development of an inclusive structure of the OECD and G20, which will allow interested countries and jurisdictions to cooperate in the development of standards on issues related to tax evasion, as well as with supervision and control over the implementation of the entire package of actions. It is determined that the mechanism of de-offshoring should be directed not only towards the elimination of territories with preferential taxation, but also towards benefits from their use on the basis of the existing financial infrastructure of the world’s leading offshore centers.

Published: February 2021

The article is aimed at determining the current state and prospects for the development of trade cooperation between Ukraine and Great Britain. For Ukraine, cooperation with the the United Kingdom as one of the world’s trade leaders can be a promising direction. The dynamics of foreign trade in goods and services of Ukraine with Great Britain are provided. The increase in Ukrainian exports of goods may continue after the Great Britain leaves the EU, as, unlike other EU countries, Great Britain pursues a less protectionist policy on agricultural products. The commodity structure of exports and imports, as well as changes in the structure of foreign trade in the services of Ukraine and Great Britain over the past 5 years are analyzed. The main commodities exported by Ukraine are ferrous metals, grain crops, fats and oils of both animal and vegetable origin. The structure of British imports of goods is dominated by goods with high added value. Great Britain is one of Ukraine’s main foreign trade partners in the trade in services. A positive process for Ukraine is the increase in the share of services exports in the sphere of telecommunications, computer and information services. It is determined that trade cooperation between Ukraine and Great Britain during the researched period is characterized, in general, by positive dynamics. Positive changes include a gradual reduction in the negative balance of Ukrainian trade with great Britain due to faster growth of Ukrainian exports. At the same time, the unresolved problem remains low-diversified exports of Ukraine with low added value. Prospects for further trade cooperation between Ukraine and Great Britain in the context of signing the Agreement on Political Cooperation, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership between Ukraine and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are examined.

Authors:   V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Onatsky M. Y.
Published: February 2021

The article considers the peculiarities of socio-economic transformation in Estonia in the post-Soviet period. The specifics of the transition to a market model of the economy in the country are highlighted. It is specified that the first steps towards market transformations were liberalization of both pricing policy and economic activity; introduction of a special regime of the credit and monetary policy – the currency council, which provided for the free exchange of national currency at a clearly fixed rate; reorganization of the mechanism of management of Estonia’s banking system. It was found out that the nature of market transformations that took place in the Republic of Estonia was largely determined by the country’s foreign policy course towards Euro-Atlantic integration. The author discloses peculiarities of the privatization process in Estonia, the main difference of which was its clear legislative regulation, which helped to avoid numerous financial pyramids and voucher auctions, as it was in other countries of the post-Soviet space. The specifics of socio-economic development of the Republic of Estonia after accession to the European Union and NATO are shown. Tax reform as an important component of creating a favorable investment and business climate in the country is analyzed. The process of modernization of the Estonian energy sector from the point of view of ensuring energy independence and improving the energy efficiency of the State economy has been studied. This was possible due to the implementation of the program of modernization of the energy sector, one of the components of which was the widespread introduction of energy-saving technologies, including the use of alternative energy sources. It has been proven that the implementation of market transformations in accordance with European requirements has accelerated the process of Estonia’s integration into the EU and NATO, as well as strengthened the country’s ties with its Western partners.
The State Regulation of the Economy as an Element of External Influence on the Economic Development of Agro-Industrial Production
Authors:   Odesa National Academy of Food Technology, Kozak K. B.
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the study of national features of realization of the State potentials in influence on economic development of subjects of agro-industrial production. The analysis is based on the decomposition of the mechanism of influence by such elements as object, subject, goals, tools. The object is represented by agro-industrial production in the multi-complexity of its structure. The subjective component of the external influence on the enterprises of the agro-industrial production system is analyzed on the basis of a detailed identification of the spheres that are not amenable to direct control by the object. The result of the decomposition was the selection of the following levels of systemic impact on the business environment: mesoeconomic, macroeconomic, supranational. The macroeconomic level of regulation/management is subjectified to the levels of governance in the system of public administration bodies. Target determination is disclosed on the basis of program documents of various levels and areas of application. The instrumental content of the State activity is studied, which is represented by a set of tools of direct impact (legislative and regulatory framework, implementation of the State programs and investment projects, tariff restrictions, non-tariff restrictions) and indirect impact (monetary, financial, and social policy; financial assistance). The role of the tax mechanism in regulating the activity of the agro-industrial sector is determined. Expenditures of the State budget to support the agro-industrial complex in 2020 have been studied. The mechanism of public procurement and instruments of social policy are considered. Attention is paid to lobbying as an institutional phenomenon, which is an exception to the principle of the impossibility of direct influence by individual actors in the structure of agro-industrial production on decision-making by management entities at the macroeconomic level. The positive and negative features of lobbying are considered. At the same time, the dialectical essence of lobbying is revealed in the perspective of the relationship of goals - the synchronicity and mismatch of individual interests of the microeconomic level with the social needs of the macroeconomic level.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor – faktor apa saja yang yang mempengaruhi penerapan nilai – nilai cinta tanah air pada mahasiswa di Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur. Sementara itu objek dari penelitian ini adalah faktor yang mempengaruhi mahasiswa dalam menerapkan aturan tentang membuang sampah pada tempatnya, membawa STNK asli dan memakai helm ketika berkendara dikampus, membuat Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa, memakai pakaian batik ketika pelaksanaan Ujian Tengah Semester maupun Ujian Akhir Semester, dan mengikuti Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan fokus penelitian berdasarkan Model Implementasi Kebijakan G.Edward III yakni komunikasi, sumber daya, disposisi, dan struktur birokrasi. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan data sekunder, sumber data yang diperoleh dari informan yang dipilih berdasarkan purposive sampling. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan metode wawancara, observasi, studi pustaka, dan dokumentasi yang kemudian data di analisis dengan cara pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang paling berpengaruh dalam penerapan nilai – nilai cinta tanah air pada mahasiswa di UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur yaitu faktor komunikasi, hal tersebut disebabkan karena penyaluran kebijakan, kejelasan tujuan dan cara serta faktor konsistensi yang belum sepenuhnya dilaksanakan oleh seluruh fakultas. Selanjutnya yakni faktor sumber daya, disebabkan oleh faktor informasi dan fasilitas yang belum seluruhnya ada di masing-masing fakultas. Kemudian faktor disposisi, disebabkan oleh faktor kognisi/pemahaman mahasiswa di masing-masing fakultas sebagai pelaksana dan juga intensitas respon/tanggapan mahasiswa yang tidak seluruhnya merespon bagus terhadap adanya aturan yang telah dibuat, misalnya mahasiswa Fakultas Teknik dan Fakultas Ekonomi Bisnis. Dan faktor struktur birokrasi, yang disebabkan karena tidak semua aturan yang dibuat mempunyai prosedur operasi yang standar (standart operating procedures/SOP).
