New Ways of Teaching Adat (Customary) Law at Indonesian Law Schools
While customary law typically is not the sole legal system regulating people's daily lives, it still plays a big role in shaping the behavior of countless individuals worldwide. For this reason, law schools in many countries teach customary law courses, but these courses often present customary law as a sterile set of principles and norms detached from studying social reality. This approach associates customary law with traditional communities wh…

Legal Education in Indonesia
Many of the discussions about legal education in Indonesia are similar to the ones conducted in other countries. They reflect the tension between a liberal legal education on the one hand and a vocational training on the other, as well as the tension between a legal education preparing students for legal practice and one preparing them for a broad range of generalist positions. However, we argue that legal education in Indonesia is also marred by…
The Role of Indigeneity NGOs in the Legal Recognition of Adat Communities and Customary Forests in Indonesia
The main assumption of indigeneity NGOs in Indonesia is that state recognition will strengthen indigenous peoples’ rights to their land and forests against ongoing or future dispossession. In Indonesia, legal recognition has become central to the approaches of indigeneity NGO campaigns, while the local realities and problems among indigenous communities seem to receive less attention. Has legal recognition of indigenous communities turned into a …
Strategic Framing of Adat in Land-Acquisition Politics in East Sumba
This article is about the strategic use of adat arguments in the politics of large-scale land acquisition. While customary (adat) communities are commonly depicted as small local minorities living in the forests and being guardians of the environment, in many situations such communities occupy a majority position within the district. Majority adat communities are internally differentiated into categories of actors with varying and conflicting int…
Changing Indigeneity Politics in Indonesia: From Revival to Projects
Through the discourse of indigeneity, rural communities around the world are joining a global network of rural justice seekers. By articulating grievances collectively, they demand state recognition while seeking support from NGOs and international development organisations. In Indonesia, the manifestation of indigenous ‘adat’ politics is no longer confined to the national struggle for the recognition of land rights, but instead, has proliferated…
Trajectories of land acquisition and enclosure: Development schemes, virtual land grabs, and green acquisitions in Indonesia’s Outer Islands
While the size and speculative nature of land transactions in the wake of energy, food and climate crises have surprised observers, the reasons for partial implementation of many land developments remain largely unexamined.This contribution investigates trajectories of land acquisition and enclosure by analyzing four acquisition processes in Indonesia -those associated with rice, oil palm, Jatropha and carbon sequestration -considering their impl…
Law-Making as a Strategy for Change: Indonesia's New Village Law
In 2014, the Indonesian president signed a new Village Law (no. 6/2014). This statute started a new phase in the ongoing history of village governance policy, moving the village from a position as an administrative unit in a top-down system towards one of an autonomous community. The present article analyses how distinct "policy communities" in Indonesia started a process that helped shape the 2014 Village Law in order to promote their long-term …
The Conflicted Nature of Food Security Policy: Balancing Rice, Sugar and Palm Oil in Indonesia
Given the multiple problems presented by food policy, food security presents a complex dilemma for policy-makers. This paper examines the contradictions presented by competing food security, food self-sufficiency and food sovereignty framings, the challenge of policy-making across multiple levels amidst competing agendas of agricultural commodity production and production for self-provisioning populations, and the need to balance economic develop…
Decentralisation and village governance in Indonesia: The return to the nagari and the 2014 Village Law
This article looks at the work of Franz and Keebet von Benda-Beckmann on decentralisation and village governance in Indonesia.1. When writing about Franz von Benda-Beckmann's work on village government, one automatically writes about the work by his wife Keebet as well, because they have always co-authored the articles on this subject. We will, therefore, not try to make an artificial distinction between their respective contributions to this fie…

Uma politics; An ethnography of democratization in West Sumba, Indonesia, 1986-2006: An ethnography of democratization in West Sumba, Indonesia, 1986-2006
Democracy cannot be implemented overnight. Democratization is an often unpredictable process. This book concentrates on that political transformation in one of Indonesia’s most ‘traditional’ islands, Sumba. Why does democratization create such great opportunities for local politicians with their private agenda’s? Why does regional autonomy, as part of the national democratization program, promote socio-economic inequality in West Sumba? This book…

Thousands of rival tribesmen fought a pitched battle with spears and knives on a remote eastern Indonesian island, killing at least nineteen people, police said on Friday. The fighting on Thursday in the western part of Sumba, a barren and inhospitable island southeast of Bali, had been brought under control with police reinforcements, Colonel Engkesman Ehilep, the chief of East Nusa Tenggara province, said.
