在发展的热潮中，监管国家已经承担了一种新的灵丹妙药的外衣：更好的政府，更好的治理和更好的生活所必需的工具和机制。本文提出了两个基本问题，以应对监管国家的兴起及其日益扩散到发展中国家。第一，发展中社会是否存在监管国家，或者更准确地说，是否存在有效的监管国家，并希望以类似于发达国家的对应方的方式运作，并提供它们所承诺的利益和成果？第二，监管国家是否提供了提高社会福祉的最有效模式？通过对监管型国家概念的剖析，并探讨其基本假设和隐含的规范价值，有人认为，监管型国家模式所包含的治理模式可能不太适合发展中国家，损害而不是加强治理成果。这些问题的探讨与印度尼西亚的能源部门，特别是上游发电，输电和配电部门，以及在管理该部门所涉及的阴谋。
Abstract In the rush for development, the regulatory state has assumed the mantle of a new panacea: the instruments and mechanisms necessary for better government, better governance, and better lives. This paper poses two basic questions in response to the rise of the regulatory state and its increasing diffusion into developing countries. First, can regulatory states exist in developing societies or, more accurately, can effective regulatory states emerge and hope to function in a manner similar to their counterparts in developed countries and deliver the types of benefits and outcomes they promise? And second, do regulatory states offer the most effective modalities for delivering enhanced social well-being? By unpacking the concept of the regulatory state and addressing its underlying assumptions and implicit normative values, it is suggested that the modalities of governance entailed in the regulatory state model may not be well suited to developing countries, hurting rather than enhancing governance outcomes. These issues are explored in relation to the Indonesian energy sector, specifically the upstream electricity generation, transmission and distribution sectors, and the machinations involved in governing the sector.
