Gender, labour, and a plantation-migration nexus in North Sumatra
This paper analyzes the plantation-migration nexus in a region of major corporate and state plantation investment and presence in North Sumatra since the late 19th century. We show that land was not a limiting factor in the earliest decades when large plantations in northeastern Sumatra were established; procuring labour was the major economic constraint and generated a great deal of forced and “voluntary” worker migration into the region. Today,…

Transformation of Farmer Resistance in Conservation Areas: Land Occupation by Farmers in Mount Halimun-Salak National Park, West Java
A number of studies have shown various agrarian conflicts as a response by local farmers against the policy of national parks that prohibits them from accessing conservation forest areas. However, previous studies had not explained the dynamics of power relations between park authorities and farmers who stand in opposition to these policies. This study employs a qualitative research approach complemented by secondary data to explain the transform…
Antropologi dan Persoalan Perubahan Iklim: Perspektif Kritis Ekologi Politik
Climate change could cause devastating impacts on Indonesia. The sea-level rise triggered by anthropogenic climate change, for example, will be affecting coastal infrastructure since Indonesia is ranked as the second country with the longest coastline in the world. Moreover, more than 100 million people (or about sixty percent of the total population in Indonesia) who live along Indonesia's coastline area would also be affected by sea-level rise.…

Perjuangan Pengakuan Hak Kelola Lahan bagi Pengungsi Aceh di Kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser

It has been managed by the Indonesian government through Gunung Leuser National Park Center. Ecological zonation systems have been implemented in the management. However, since about 1999, groups of refugees who escaped from the Aceh conflict have resided in the national park. They transformed the dry or bush landscape which …
Ruang Gender Haruskah Selalu dipisah? Ruang Kelola Wilayah Adat dan Pendekatan Ekologi Politik Feminis

Sociocarbon cycles: Assembling and governing forest carbon in Indonesia
Institutional Activism: Seeking Customary Forest Rights Recognition from Within the Indonesian State
This article aims to explain why the adat movement activists in Indonesia could expand their campaigns for state recognition of adat community rights to activities from within the state apparatus. We argue that three combined processes have contributed to the conjuncture that made institutional activism possible: the preparation of the 2014 national election offered activists opportunities to influence the government agenda; the emergence of a co…
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…
Kekerabatan sebagai Pranata Sosial yang Mempengaruhi Agency Perlawanan Masyarakat: Studi Kasus Protes Petani terhadap Proyek Pembangunan Irigasi di Sumatra Barat
Studies have shown the importance of identity politics in the ability for small-holders to form a solidarity in a collective action protest against development project. However, those studies do not show how the kinship relations in the context of adat system could shape the agency of small-holder to organize collective resistance against the development project that affects their livelihoods. Although we are not denying the importance of traditi…
Neoliberal Conservation in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia: Evaluating the approach to environmental education of the transnational conservation organisation Rare
Neoliberal conservation encompasses initiatives and measures depending upon market mechanisms to achieve conservation objectives. Such mechanisms have transformed aspects of nature and its care into commodities to produce a ‘green economy’ as the basis of conservation and sustainable development. Although many such programmes have been subjected to critical analysis, their role in environmental education has received far less attention. This arti…
Beyond Carbon, More Than Forest? Redd+ Governmentality in Indonesia
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) is an expanding global initiative oriented at slowing or reversing carbon emissions from forests in the Global South. The programme is based on the principle of payment for environmental services, where the carbon sequestration services of forests are seen to have a financial value which can be paid for through grant and market mechanisms. In this paper we explore how REDD+ is i…

Claiming the Grounds for Reform: Agrarian and Environmental Movements in Indonesia
This essay examines the convergences, tensions and mutual influences of agrarian and environmental movements in Indonesia and their connections to transnational movements under state-led development and neoliberal governance regimes.

Claiming Indigenous Community: Political Discourse and Natural Resource Rights in Indonesia
In late Suharto-era Indonesia, “indigeneity” became a solution to the problem of political representation in popular natural-resource struggles. Using examples from Sumatra and Sulawesi, we examine how the concept of indigeneity was used as a means to strengthen community rights over and against state and corporate claims. In Sulawesi, scientists studied Togean Island peoples' “indigenous knowledge” as a way to affirm residents' rights to inhabit…
