Abstract

This study aims to analyze how Indonesian policymakers make decisions regarding the expansion of DOBs in Papua, with a focus on public narratives in the media. To see the public narrative, a Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) study will be conducted which can describe, explain the structure of public narratives in policy making. The research method uses a qualitative approach with the support of QDAS (Qualitative Data Analysis Software), and the research data sources come from trusted online media in Indonesia. The results showed that the conversation about DOB expansion in Papua was dominated by the central and local governments. This indicates that the DOB expansion policy in Papua is dominated by political elites, so it has the potential to cause conflict because it is not in accordance with the aspirations of the community. The expansion process also has the potential to trigger conflicts between the expanded regions, especially if the distribution of resources and power is not fair and transparent. The implication is that active community participation in decision-making on regional expansion is important so that policies reflect the aspirations and real needs of the Papuan people and reduce the dominance of political elites.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Bakar Batu tradition as a model of political diplomacy based on local cultural values between the government and indigenous communities in Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Pegunungan. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a case study and political ethnography approach, the research involved seven key informants consisting of traditional leaders, religious figures, government officials, political actors, representatives of the Indigenous Peoples’ Institution, and community members. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. The findings show that Bakar Batu functions as an egalitarian space for political communication that fosters dialogue, trust, and social legitimacy between the government and indigenous communities. Beyond its cultural and social meanings, the tradition operates as an effective medium of political diplomacy that emphasizes equality, solidarity, and collective participation. This study contributes conceptually by proposing Bakar Batu as a model of political diplomacy rooted in local traditions, offering an alternative approach to inclusive and culturally grounded governance in indigenous regions.
