KEPENTINGAN UMUM DAN KEPENTINGAN PERSEORANGAN (Ditinjau dari aspek Kebijakan Publik)*

Abstract

Private and public interests are in a continuum line that dynamically
changes according to the situation at hand. The government as the guardian of
public interest should balance these two interests. Based on the state philosophy
and societys values, the government should give priority to public interest than
the narrow private interest, and showing this principle in its policies. The state
officials have to show and implement this principle. Public interest should be
guaranteed with law supremacy, by showing strong commitment on no one is
above the law principle. Therefore the implementation of good governance is
compulsory, to create an excellent service to the public.
