This study aims to analyze the development of research themes in the public–private partnership (PPP) project policy strategy for broadband infrastructure from 2000 to 2021 and identify the most popular research topics. Systematic literature review (SLR) of 927 Google Scholar and Scopus publications, followed by bibliometric analysis, co-occurrence keywords, and in-depth qualitative approaches with content analysis, was performed. Articles are classified based on the source of publication, year of publication, country of origin, journal ranking, and research theme. This study finds that previous studies discussed the development of policy strategies and regulatory theory. Most articles were published in journals indexed under Q1, while only one was published under Q4. This study highlights the importance of government initiatives in developing broadband infrastructure through PPPs. The findings show that the policy strategy, legal framework, and regulations influence the success of PPP schemes. Private sector involvement can reduce costs and provide access to resources and expertise the public sector may still need to gain. This study suggests that policymakers encourage the participation of the private sector in broadband infrastructure projects and provide incentives for them, such as public funding. This study benefits governments or policymakers who intend to implement the PPP scheme to deliver public services.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have become an increasingly important tool for delivering infrastructure and public services worldwide. In Toll Road development, PPP scheme is often being used to deliver public infrastructure. PPPs have received a lot of attention from academics as a new approach to public procurement. To enhance our knowledge of PPPs, this study aims to analyze the trend of articles discussing collaborative governance in toll road developments with PPP schemes in Asian, African, American, Australian and European countries during the 2000–2020 period and analyze the most discussed topic in PPP research specifically in collaborative governance. The relationship between PPP research and Public Sector Accounting Theory is also analyzed. Using a qualitative method with a Systematic Literature Review approach, this study analyzed published articles from reputable international journals. Result of this study shows a positive trend in the quantity of research articles that discuss collaborative governance in toll road development by PPP scheme. Moreover, it found also that frequently discussed topics in PPP research are Risk Management, Value for Money, Critical Success Factors, PPP Challenges, PPP Evolution and Financing. This study found that Public Sector Accounting Theory (Governance Theory, Institutional Theory and Stakeholders Theory) have influenced most the PPP scheme in toll road development.

The research explored an interesting relationship between Indonesian cultural heritage and international relations. It focused on Batik Indonesia and Tenun Endek Bali as strategic tools for cultural diplomacy efforts across different presidential administrations. Starting with President Soeharto’s use of Batik as a gift at the United Nations in the 1980s, these textiles have appeared at six major ASEAN and APEC Summits. The key research question was whether these gorgeous textiles had been effective in promoting Indonesian culture on a global stage. The research aimed to analyze the evolution of Batik Indonesia and Tenun Endek Bali, emphasizing significant international events where they gained recognition, such as the ASEAN and APEC Summits. The research applied a qualitative method and archival content to analyze the journey of batik and Tenun Endek Bali in Indonesian diplomacy. The findings present a compelling narrative. The research suggests a potential link between the use of batik and Tenun Endek and positive outcomes at global meetings, including free trade (APEC 1994), regional cooperation (ASEAN Summit 2011), and consensus building (G20 2023). This highlights Indonesia’s evolving role on the international stage. The research offers a fresh perspective by examining the long-term use of batik and Tenun Endek Bali by Indonesian presidents as cultural diplomacy tools at global events, proposing a novel link to positive outcomes, and highlighting cultural heritage’s potential as a ‘soft power’ diplomatic strategy.

This research examines how stakeholder pressure and board characteristics influence the quality of sustainability reporting among Indonesian firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2016 and 2020. Through an analysis of 30 companies over a five-year period, we utilize linear regression to explore the relationship between board size, board education, shareholder pressure, creditor pressure, and sustainability report quality. Our findings suggest that while board size has no significant impact on sustainability reporting quality, board education plays a positive and significant role, aligning with Upper Echelons Theory. Additionally, shareholder pressure is positively associated with report quality, indicating investor interest in non-financial disclosures. Conversely, creditor pressure does not significantly affect report quality, suggesting a focus on debt repayment over CSR disclosures. These findings underscore the importance of knowledgeable board leadership and stakeholder engagement in driving high-quality sustainability reporting, offering insights for further research into industry-specific dynamics and board composition characteristics.

The collaboration between public and private in the energy infrastructure development has become an interesting topic to be researched especially in the implementation of PPP in energy sector. This study aims to analyze what are the main theme of research in PPP in energy infrastructure development. Using Systematic Literature Review, this qualitative research wants to discuss further about what are the trend of research theme from 2010 to 2020, in different continents and the impact of Accounting to PPP and the connection of PPP research to Accounting and Finance theory. The data were taken from journals that already published from highly selected international journal. The study found that research quality was 48% published in Q1 Scopus Indexed journals.
