To ensure openness, responsibility and effectiveness in managing state finances, this research examines state financial management from a legality and anti-corruption perspective. In this research, relevant laws and regulations and scientific literature were studied using a literature study approach. The research results show that the principle of legality emphasizes the need for all state financial management activities to comply with relevant regulations, including the use of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) as a legal basis.

These two principles support each other to ensure responsible financial management, protect officials with good intentions, and take action against perpetrators of corruption who fulfill the elements of malicious intent. In conclusion, implementing the principles of legality and anti-corruption synergistically can encourage good state financial governance, support clean government, and create sustainable development.

This study aims to analyze the impact of globalization on economic development in developing countries, focusing on both its positive and negative effects. Globalization has accelerated the integration of the global economy, enabling developing countries to access global markets, advanced technologies, and foreign direct investment (FDI). On the other hand, globalization also presents challenges such as economic inequality, dependency on developed nations, and resource exploitation. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review method, this study explores various data and literature from scientific journals, international organization reports, and related publications. The findings reveal that globalization significantly contributes to economic growth in developing countries through increased international trade, technology transfer, and job creation. However, these effects are not evenly distributed across sectors and social groups, leading to income disparities and uneven development. Furthermore, globalization pressures often push developing countries to adopt economic policies that are less supportive of local sectors, reducing domestic economic competitiveness. This study recommends the importance of balanced and sustainable development-oriented policies to maximize the benefits of globalization while minimizing its adverse impacts. Thus, developing countries can optimize globalization’s potential as a tool for inclusive and sustainable economic development.

Although foreign aid has played an important role in Indonesia's economic growth, dependence on foreign aid may hinder efforts to achieve national self-reliance. The purpose of this study is to look at how foreign aid contributes to sustainable development and the consequences of Indonesia's reliance on economic and technological independence. A qualitative approach using a literature review that includes books, journal articles and government documents is the methodology used.

Particularly in the energy industry, Indonesia continues to rely on imported technologies, and faces barriers in terms of skills transfer from donor countries. Therefore, this article suggests that a national plan be implemented with an emphasis on local capacity building, research and development funding, and cooperation between the industrial and academic sectors. In conclusion, Indonesia must increase its economic and technological independence and reduce dependence on foreign aid to achieve sustainable development.
