Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of good government as the main foundation in building substantive democracy and social justice in Indonesia. Through a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study method, this study explores the principles of good governance such as accountability, transparency, the rule of law, public participation, and bureaucratic effectiveness, as well as the challenges of their implementation in Indonesia. The results of the study show that although Indonesia has a supportive normative and institutional framework, the implementation of good government still faces structural obstacles, including inertial bureaucracy, transactional political culture, weak law enforcement, and minimal substantial public participation. This study also highlights the strategic role of the younger generation, especially students, in driving government transformation through the use of digital technology and social advocacy. Therefore, good government needs to be understood not only as a technocratic mechanism, but as a collective democratic project that demands ethical commitment and active participation from all elements of the nation
