This study maps and compares structural asymmetry in the Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) governance networks of Surabaya and Makassar using mixed methods based on Social Network Analysis (SNA). Previous TPID studies mainly focused on program effectiveness and actor collaboration, while comparative analysis of network asymmetry remains limited. Based on an 18×18 directed weighted adjacency matrix from 12 official documents (2023–2025; κ̄ = 0.966), Surabaya’s network is denser (0.346 vs. 0.314), more intensive (weight 176 vs. 138), and has more cliques (17 vs. 13). Surabaya shows a monocentric pattern centered on the TPID Secretariat. In contrast, Makassar is bicentric, with Bank Indonesia sharing dominance. Makassar has more actors trapped in structural holes (5 vs. 4) and involves the Governor of South Sulawesi, indicating stronger multi-level governance. Network asymmetry contributes to differences in inflation-control performance, requiring region-specific strengthening of TPID coordination and private-sector involvement.
