Abstract

This paper analyzes how technocratic planning is actually operated and asking “is there real technocratic planning in Indonesia or is it only indicative of pseudo technocratic?” In-depth understanding gained through qualitative research through open and unstructured interviews, which are elaborated with the author’s direct involvement in several planning processes situations. This study finds that technocratic planning operated in the application of logical framework for intervention plans, organizing coordinated forums, formulating data-based policies, and synchronizing policies. The situation do not represent a pseudo technocratic, but these are not strong enough to obscure the fragile planning. Technocratization has problems with the instrument itself, especially in the framework of bureaucratic and political relations and the relationship between different government structures. Dominant and excessive convergence, limited discourse or learning space for scientific journey and discovery media, and the cognitive mentality tradition and technocratic behavior that has not yet been massively formed, are crucial for technocratic planning work. While many critics call for planning based on pluralism and democracy, this study believes that the technocratic operation will also work to improve democracy quality.
