pemerintahan yang bersifat dari terpusat ke desentralisasi menjadikan keberadaan pemerintah lokal (daerah) menjadi sangat penting dalam penyelenggaraan urusan publik dan pelayanan kepada Masyarakat. Tingginya harapan Masyarakat dan perubahan lingkungan global menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi pemerintah daerah. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah lokal dituntut lebih adaptif dan inovatif dalam mengelola pemerintahannya. Seiring dengan reformasi manajemen sektor publik, pada dua dekade terakhir dalam praktik maupun kajian administrasi publik menekankan pentingnya adopsi alat atau instrumen manajemen yang dikenal dengan sebutan manajemen strategis sektor publik. Penelitian berusaha menggali informasi perkembangan teori dan konsep manajemen strategis yang dikaji oleh peneliti-peneliti yang telah dipublikasikan melalui database bereputasi internasional. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode systematic literature review dalam tema manajemen strategis sektor publik di pemerintahan lokal untuk mengetahui perkembangan kajian tema tersebut dalam dua dekade terakhir. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi berbagai celah dan menyoroti tema-tema yang terus berkembang dalam manajemen strategis, dengan menekankan pentingnya integrasi metodologi lintas disiplin dan perspektif global. Penelitian di masa depan diharapkan dapat memprioritaskan pemanfaatan teknologi digital, kerangka kerja partisipatif, dan pendekatan inklusif untuk menjawab kebutuhan tata kelola yang terus berubah secara dinamis

Abstract
The shift in governance from a centralized to a decentralized system has made local governments increasingly significant in managing public affairs and delivering services to society. The high expectations of the public and changes in the global environment present unique challenges for local governments. Consequently, local governments are required to be more adaptive and innovative in their governance practices. In line with public sector management reforms, the last two decades have seen both practices and studies in public administration emphasizing the importance of adopting management tools or instruments known as public sector strategic management. This research seeks to explore the development of theories and concepts of strategic management as studied by researchers and published in internationally reputable databases. A systematic literature review method is applied to the theme of public sector strategic management in local government to examine the development of this theme over the past two decades. This research identifies gaps and highlights the evolving themes in strategic management, underscoring the need to integrate interdisciplinary methodologies and global perspectives. Future studies should prioritize leveraging digital tools, participatory frameworks, and equity-driven approaches to address rapidly changing governance demands.
