The Government

<p>People Tax is the main source of state income. The better the tax policy of a country, the better the development of a country. One of the factors that influence the level of public awareness in paying taxes is corruption. Study shows that tax collection is one of them influenced by corruption. In the data of Corruption Perceptions Index 2016 reported by Transparency International, Indonesia is ranked 90 out of 176 countries. Tax evasion is a serious problem for many countries. Every year, the government loses revenue potential as many residents evade taxes in various ways. For this reason, the government implements tax amnesty. Tax amnesty is designed to permanently reduce the amount of underground economy activity, thereby increasing tax revenues in the future and developing countries can grow well.</p>

World Output

Until 1820, India accounted for one-sixth or more of world output. But under British rule and in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, its economy was eclipsed. Today, though, India stands on the cusp of reclaiming its lost glory. During the fifteen years ending in 2017/18, India’s economy grew 7.7 percent in real rupees and 9.9 percent in real dollars. Today its GDP stands at $2.6 trillion. Even if it were to grow at only 8 percent in real dollars in the coming decade, GDP would reach $7.2 trillion by 2030/31, placing the country in third place in the global GDP rankings. But, as the experiences of all successful developing countries show, sustained growth at a rate of 8 percent or higher requires a policy framework that leads to greater outward orientation, urbanization, and expansion of labor-intensive manufacturing. With concerted policy reform, such transformation is within India’s grasp.

This article aims to understand the complex relationship between transnational pathways of policy influence and strategies of domestic policy entrepreneurship in the pursuit of REDD+ in developing countries. Since 2007, a complex governance arrangement exerting influence through the provision of international rules, norms, markets, knowledge, and material assistance has supported the diffusion of REDD+ policies around the world. These transnational pathways of influence have played an important role in the launch of REDD+ policy-making processes at the domestic level. Indeed, over 60 developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America have initiated multi-year programmes of policy reform, research, and capacity-building that aim to lay the groundwork for the implementation of REDD+. However, there is emerging evidence that the nature of policy change associated with these REDD+ policy efforts ultimately depends on the mediating influence of domestic factors. This article offers an analytical framework that focuses on whether and how domestic policy actors can seize the opportunities provided by transnational policy pathways for REDD+ to challenge or reinforce the status quo in the governance of forests and related sectors.
