Abstract

Local bureaucratic governance is the implementer of a policy that has a rigid and measurable system. Such a system will be a dilemma faced by street-level bureaucracy when it is faced with the target group of a policy. To avoid this dilemma situation, this institution needs to have a pattern of perceptions, rules, and patterns of interaction, as mentioned in the institutional network theory. The main objective of this study is to explain the perceptions, rules, and patterns of interaction of stakeholders in the food diversification policy implementation network. The methodological approach used in this research is qualitative. The research strategy used is a case study with an explanatory type to explain the phenomenon in the implementation of food diversification policies based on the context in Bone Regency. Then, the analytical technique used is the pattern matching technique, in which the pattern is used is a theoretical pattern, namely the institutional network theory. Based on the research results, the implementation of the food diversification policy has not been effective. This is due to the pattern of perceptions among stakeholders, especially local bureaucracy and street-level bureaucracy which are still dominated by mindset oriented funds. Rules are not designed together so that they have not become binding for all stakeholders to improve the performance of this policy. Then, the pattern of interaction between stakeholders is still dominated by local bureaucracy so that street-level bureaucracy still uses command and control procedures against citizens as the target group of this policy. Therefore, it is necessary to build synergy and togetherness so that he can exercise discretion in the implementation of food diversification policies.
