Abstract

This study is aimed at exploring appropriate method in embodying and applying the principle of good governance in managing strategic resources, i.e. in issuing mining license. This effort is important to prevent maladministration, corruption, and the deterioration of environmental quality that may block the sustainable development. This maladministration in issuing mining license has created complexity and overlapped administrative decisions, either at the vertical or horizontal. At the vertical level the tension, conflicted, and overlapped administrative decision could be seen between central and local government, whereas at horizontal level, conflicted decision could be seen at sectorial department. For that reason, this work offers an appropriate method in integrating and embodying the principle of good governance, such as transparency, carefulness, and proportionality in issuing mining license. The application of this method may create a holistic and integrated policy in managing and optimizing collective strategic resources for the greatest benefit for greatest number of people.
