This chapter focuses on the role of the dominant player in conservative media, Fox News, during the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency. It looks at three case studies to illustrate how Fox News used its position at the core of the right-wing media ecosystem repeatedly to mount propaganda attacks in support of Trump: the Michael Flynn firing in March 2017, when Fox adopted the “deep state” framing of the entire controversy; the James Comey firing and Robert Mueller appointment in May 2017; when Fox propagated the Seth Rich murder conspiracy; and in October and November, when the arrests of Paul Manafort and guilty plea of Flynn seemed to mark a new level of threat to the president, Fox reframed the Uranium One story as an attack on the integrity of the FBI and Justice Department officials in charge of the investigation.

Studi ini merupakan analisis neo-institusionalisme terhadap permasalahan politik dinasti dalam kaitannya dengan perwujudan good governance di Kabupaten Tabanan. Sebagaimana diketahui bahwa pasca reformasi, Tabanan dipimpin oleh satu kelompok keluarga yang sama. Dengan berfokus pada sektor pelayanan kesehatan, studi ini akan melihat seberapa jauh politik dinasti memberi dampak terhadap sektor kebijakan publik dan perwujudan good governance. Secara umum, kebijakan pelayanan kesehatan yang ditempuh oleh pemerintah Kabupaten Tabanan adalah kebijakan non-populis. Pemkab  Tabanan lebih memilih membangun rumah sakit berstandar internasional dibandingkan dengan menyediakan layanan kesehatan gratis bagi warga miskin. Selama ini studi mengenai politik dinasti dan pengaruhnya terhadap sektor kebijakan publik di Tabanan dilihat sebagai permasalahan politis semata tanpa melihat kepada persoalan deep state structure, yakni fungsi normatif dan budaya di dalamnya. Studi ini menemukan bahwa terdapat pertentangan antara sociological instution, historical institution dengan rational choice institution dibalik kukuhnya politik dinasti dan pergumulan dalam mewujudkan good governance di Kabupaten Tabanan.  Kata kunci: Politik dinasti, good governance, neo-instutionalisme, kebijakan publik, Kabupaten Tabanan.

CIVILIZATION AND POLITOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Logically, according to historical experience, the security of the statehood of each country (nation), the efficiency of public administration are conditioned by the degree of development of the political-state administrative thought and by the level of civilization achieved. If the former is inferior to the latter, then under the influence of that factor the efficiency of public administration is significantly reduced. The statehood, the fate of the people, the possibility of living safely in its homeland are endangered. Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize the increase of public administration efficiency, in particular, to introduce scientific principles in the system of state and local selfgovernment, to develop the political culture of the society and the level of analytical thinking, to attach essential importance to the training of personnel in the fields of political science, diplomacy, international law, to conduct scientific reasearch in those areas with the aim of using the results obtained in making strategic management decisions to clarify the distribution of powers between the branches of government, and to enshrine in the necessary restraint and counterbalance structure. The so-called deep state is a guarantee of state security, effective management in the conditions of generalization, a counterbalancing factor directing the activities of the civil society. In the Republic of Armenia such a role can claim the Armenian Apostolic Church, the intellectual-mature business elite, the high-ranking officers of the army and the National Security Service.
