COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STAKEHOLDERS IN PUBLIC POLICY FORMULATION WITH NVIVO ANALYSIS
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the dynamics of communication between stakeholders in the public policy formulation process using a qualitative approach using NVivo software. Effective communication between stakeholders, such as government, civil society, the private sector, and academia, is a key element in producing responsive and sustainable policies. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and policy documentation from case studies of policy formulation in the defense, finance, development planning, and foreign affairs sectors in Jakarta. A thematic coding process was conducted using NVivo to identify patterns, relationships, and intensity of interactions between actors. The results indicate that information transparency, early involvement, and two-way communication channels play a critical role in improving policy quality. However, barriers such as power imbalances, rigid bureaucracy, and lack of communication capacity remain key obstacles. These findings provide important implications for policymakers to strengthen collaborative mechanisms in the public policy formulation process.
