Gender at the periphery: Climate finance, renewable energy, and the limits of technocratic inclusion in Indonesia
Indonesia’s renewable energy transition is mobilising billions in climate finance and projecting 1.7 million new jobs under the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL 2025-2034). Gender equality is present in this architecture but incorporated into technocratic governance in ways that empty it of transformative content and reproduce the inequalities it nominally addresses. Three structural problems explain this. First, the privileging of bankabl…
State, Capital, and the Crisis of Social Reproduction in Indonesia: A Rejoinder
This rejoinder to Mudhoffir (Citation2026) identifies three key theoretical points of disagreement in the response to our commentary on Indonesian protests of 2025 (Wijaya and Jayasuriya Citation2026). First, the “authoritarian continuity thesis” advanced by our critics misses the way in which the “rule of capital” is organised within the state apparatus. The response to our article rests on an instrumentalist reading of the Indonesian state, whi…
Global Environmental Politics amid Geopolitical Turbulence
Over the past decade, three overlapping trends have fundamentally reshaped and now characterize the global geopolitical order: the rise of emerging powers, increasing military conflicts, and growing international trade tensions. These features of the global order are deeply connected to global environmental politics (GEP) and governance, as a warming world spurs some aspects of geopolitical change, while the geopolitical dynamics themselves have …

The Rise of Authoritarian Statism in Indonesia and the Crisis of Crisis Management
There is now a tacit consensus among scholars of Indonesian politics that the country has experienced an authoritarian turn characterised by executive aggrandisement and the marginalisation of subaltern forces justified by claims of economic growth and development. Yet, little attention has been paid to understanding why institutional changes have taken an increasing authoritarian form, and how various growth strategies shape class relations duri…
Contextualising the 2025 Indonesian Protests: Authoritarian Statism, Militarisation, and the Crisis of Social Reproduction
Indonesia’s success in building democratic institutions and sustaining economic growth has been punctured by the recent widespread protests in August 2025. Much ink has been spilled over the intra-elite conflicts and institutional dysfunction that have sparked the protests. Yet, little is understood: why did it take this form? Why are economic issues so prominent at this point of time despite the fact that income inequality has dramatically incre…

An EV-fix for Indonesia: The Green Development-Resource Nationalist Nexus
The global energy transition is disrupting old industries needing to decarbonise.Meanwhile, resource-rich countries stand to benefit from the rush for 'energy-transition minerals'.Here, institutional investors and governments promote climate policies compatible with natural resource extraction.This begs the question: How have extractive conglomerates reorganised their interests to benefit from the energy transition?Focusing on the nickel extracti…
Militarised neoliberalism and the reconstruction of the global political economy
The consensus on industry policy, state intervention and free trade that have been so central to the neoliberal international order of the past three decades has been fundamentally transformed over the past few years. The Biden administration has coined the term ‘New Washington Consensus’ to describe these transformations in the global political and economic order. The nub of our argument is that rather than being the start of ‘deglobalisation’, …

Resource Nationalism in Indonesia: Booms, Big Business, and the State, by Eve Warburton
Contemporary Southeast Asia (CSEA) is one of the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute"s flagship publications. Now in its fourth decade of publication, CSEA has succeeded in building up an international reputation as one of Southeast Asia"s premier academic journals. The aim of the peer reviewed journal is to provide subscribers with up to date and in-depth analysis of critical trends and developments in Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.…
Pivotal power of small states to save the international liberal economic order: The case from East Asia
Small- and medium-sized states acquire significant influence when regional and global orders are in flux, as in times of power transition. We have observed such dynamics especially since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, when the competition between two superpowers of the United States (US) and China has intensified in such a way that it affects the soundness of the liberal international economic order (LIEO). These smaller states have become inf…
Risk is not Measured, but Contested and Compromised: A Case Study of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway
The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway has been widely seen as China's signature Belt and Road Initiative project in Indonesia. To date, there is scant analysis of how risk has been managed throughout the project's life cycle or of the dynamics of power relationships - the conflicts and compromises made between coalitions of the capitalist and political classes - that are intrinsic to China-Indonesia infrastructure co-operation. This article fill…
A new multipolar order: Combined Development, State Forms and New Business Classes
What are the key social forces and interests that underpin an emerging multipolar world? Existing research oscillates between the retreat of the liberal international order and the rise of the rest, which remains trapped in a form of geopolitical fetishism. These explanations tell us little about the kinds of forces that are driving a more fragmented and disordered global order. In this article, we suggest going beyond this by fleshing out the un…
State Transformation and Social Forces Under the Shadow of Economic Security: The Case of Japan
At a cursory glance, much of Japan's new economic security policy resonates with US-Biden policy language of building resilient supply chains and strengthening strategic partnerships. Mainstream scholarship has been quick to interpret this as a new form of economic statecraft and the strengthening of the US-Japan partnership. However, little has been discussed about how the adoption of economic security policy has entailed state restructuring and…
The politics of public–private partnerships: State–capital relations and spatial fixes in Indonesia and the Philippines
The literature on public–private partnerships (PPPs) often portrays infrastructure construction as a depoliticized and technocratic exercise about efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In contrast to these works, we contend the political and economic elites along with their transnational allies – the congruence of state–capital – recycle PPPs in constructing their spatial fixes, guaranteeing profits and passing risks from the private sector bidder o…
Conditioning a stable sustainability fix of ‘ungreen’ infrastructure in Indonesia: Transnational alliances, compromise, and state’s strategic selectivity
This paper is the first academic attempt to critically bridge the politics of sustainability fix with social conflict theory (SCT) focusing on Indonesia’s foreign-sponsored development of Ultra Supercritical (USC) coal power plants. I examine the contradictory development of ‘green’ projects in Indonesia and specifically unpack: how transnational politico-economic forces have secured a stable sustainability fix for the USC and how they have tamed…

Chinese Business in Indonesia and Capital Conversion: Breaking the Chain of Patronage
Taking issues from mainstream research, which has overly coalesced the discussion around patronage-ridden relationships and money politics, this paper argues that democracy has restructured the pattern of state-ethnic Chinese business relationships into a dispersed network, due to the dynamics of capital convertibility within varying scales of power and interests. Offering a unique perspective on capital conversion, this paper aims to debunk the …
