 Interrelationship of Government
and Non-state Institutions

◇ Government rules society according to existing norms and values in

the form of laws, rights, and policies. This reflects how powerful a
government institution can be. Accordingly, if non-state institutions
interfere with the governing body, two possible things can happen.
First, integration among these two institutions may take place to
achieve precise solution towards development. Second, conflict
and tension may also arise because one could exceed the other
in terms of societal control and influences (Penninx, 2013).

 The development of humans and the conditions of their
society are goals that are achievable through
collaborative engagement among the community, the
government, and non-state institutions. The success of
development programs is highly reliant on the efficiency of
the collaboration of the stakeholders
