Jurisdictional approaches to sustainable agro-commodity governance
The production and trade of primary agro-commodities drive significant land use change, with profound consequences for the planet and people. In a special report on climate change and land, the International Panel on Climate Change (2019) warned that any pathway aimed at limiting global warming to within 2 °C requires reduced carbon emissions and land use change. The destruction of natural ecosystems also carries significant implications for the …
Scaling-up sustainable commodity governance through jurisdictional initiatives
Voluntary systems of sustainable commodity governance have come under intensified criticism for failing to catalyse transformative change beyond directly regulated supply chains. In response, there has been a surge of efforts to ‘scale-up’ sustainability impacts through governance interventions at landscape and jurisdictional scales. While these ambitious, scaled-up approaches are attracting significant interest, such approaches demand substantia…
Gender equity reversals and women’s responses to Covid-19 in rural Indonesia
Brokerage, power and gender equity
This article explores how empowerment‐focused Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) traverse scales and perform brokerage functions in helping rural women from marginal groups to connect to and influence powerholders in Indonesia. It identifies three brokerage mechanisms activated by these CSOs: brokering marginal groups' power bases through strengthening organising structures and sources of knowledge/resources; brokering spaces for women's influenc…
Reordering the extractive political settlement
Regulating sustainable minerals in electronics supply chains
Voluntary supply chain regulation has proliferated in recent decades in response to concerns about the social and environmental impacts of global production and trade. Yet the capacity of supply chain regulation to influence production practices on the ground has been persistently questioned. Through empirical analysis of transnational regulatory interventions in the Indonesian tin sector—centered on a multi-stakeholder Tin Working Group establis…
Conflict management in Indonesia's post-authoritarian democracy
Contestation over land, resource access and rents has long underpinned both sub-national conflicts and centre-periphery tensions in Indonesia. This paper explores resource conflict management in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the political economy of Riau province. It argues a centre-periphery bargain was struck at the onset of democratisation to redistribute a larger proportion of oil and gas rents to Riau, de-escalating support for the e…
Transnational policy influence and the politics of legitimation
Many domains of transnational policy are now governed through dynamic, multilevel governance processes, encompassing transnational, national, and subnational scales. In such settings, both membership of policy communities and distributions of authority within them become more fluid and openly contested—increasing the importance of the politics of legitimation as a basis for distributing influence over policy processes and outcomes. Drawing on ins…
Past Communal Conflict and Contemporary Security Debates in Indonesia
This article explores the links between communal violence in Poso,\nCentral Sulawesi, at the onset of democratisation in Indonesia and\ncontemporary politico-security dynamics. Poso regained national\nattention in recent years when East Indonesia Mujahidin jihadis set\nup a base in the region and declared allegiance to ISIS and joint\npolice-military operations ensued. The article argues that scale and\n“performance” of the security operations - …
Two Decades ofReformasiin Indonesia
There has been an accentuation of Indonesian democracy’s illiberal\ncharacteristics during the course of reformasi. The religious\nand nativist mobilisation that surrounded the controversial 2017\nJakarta gubernatorial elections was only one manifestation of the\nsort of pressures leading to such accentuation. This article surveys\nthe impacts of a stronger recent turn towards illiberalism across\ndiverse areas of policy making in Indonesia, incl…
Conflict dynamics and agonistic dialogue on historical violence
This article contends that the type of high-level political consensus needed to reach a peace agreement is often insufficient for rebuilding and transforming wider social relations. Consensus-focused processes tend to suppress divergent views and experiences of conflict, particularly among grassroots conflict actors, and risk deepening social divides by homogenising diverse memories of past violence, with potentially dangerous consequences. In re…
American Elites
This detailed and fascinating portrait of America's elite leaders is based on interviews with more than 1800 members of ten strategic leadership groups—including federal judges, business executives, religious leaders, high-level bureaucrats, military leaders, labor union chiefs, lawyers, leading journalists, and motion picture and television magnates. The results of the survey—the most comprehensive ever conducted on America's elite groups—enable…
Contesting Development
This pathbreaking book analyzes a highly successful participatory development program in Indonesia, exploring its distinctive origins and design principles and its impacts on local conflict dynamics and social institutions
Decentralization, Horizontal Inequalities and Conflict Management in Indonesia
The impact of decentralization on conflict dynamics is as important as its impact on service delivery and growth, as violent conflict can undo development gains. This paper argues that the impact of decentralization has been twofold. It has relieved centre–periphery tensions around long-standing grievances towards nationalist agendas in Indonesia. The evidence suggests, through examining the case of conflict-affected Central Sulawesi, that decent…
Passing on the challenges or prescribing better management of diversity? Decentralisation, power sharing and conflict dynamics in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Using the case of conflict-affected Central Sulawesi in democratising Indonesia, this paper argues that decentralisation has had both positive and negative indirect impacts on conflict dynamics. First, it has allowed for the direct election of regional heads. This has changed the nature of local politics, which has heightened local tensions through competition for power at the district level. However, this has so far been peacefully managed. Seco…
