Abstract

What constitutes the social foundation of environmental politics in the Global South? Existing scholarship advances two influential accounts. One, derived largely from research in advanced industrial democracies, characterizes environmental concern as a post-materialist phenomenon concentrated among affluent and highly educated middle classes. The other, grounded in case studies from developing contexts, emphasizes precarious movements among economically vulnerable communities. Whether these frameworks adequately capture environmental dynamics in middle-income societies, however, remains an open question. This article examines the case of Bali, Indonesia, a province that has experienced intensifying environmental pressures alongside growing public engagement with ecological issues. Drawing on an original representative survey of 1,893 respondents across nine districts (multistage random sampling; margin of error 2.8 per cent at 95 per cent confidence), the study analyses the distribution of pro-environmental behavior across socio-economic and educational strata. The findings indicate that pro-environmental behavior in Bali is not confined to either affluent, highly educated constituencies or economically marginal groups. Rather, environmentally aligned practices are observable across social strata. While differences in degree remain, the overall pattern suggests a more socially dispersed foundation than either the post-materialist or the environmentalism of the poor framework would predict. The article contributes to comparative debates by inviting a reconsideration of the North–South binary as an organizing framework for the study of environmental politics.

Abstract

The results of the post-reform until the 2019 direct election showed that Bali had never succeeded in sending female representatives to the Indonesian Parliament. This paper discusses causes of the lackness of women candidates who succeced to gain chair in the national parliament. The paper uses supply-demand framework from Norris dan Lovenduski with qualitative method research. Demand side sees how political parties in Bali selected women to be their candidates discriminatively and not giving the same access to them. Supply side sees that women candidates in Bali get obstacles and constrains in various aspects such as (1) minimum financial ability, (2) lack of political experiences, (3) limited social networks, (4) limited time and space, (5) lack of motivation in political carrier. These cause an outcome of the lackness of women candidates being elected in the election.

Abstract

This study examines the political economy of coastal governance in Bali, focusing on the tension between national Special Economic Zone (SEZ) policies and local community rights. Following the establishment of the Sanur and Kura-Kura SEZs, Bali’s southern coast has undergone rapid state-led transformation. Drawing on the frameworks of environmental politics and the coastal commons, this qualitative case study investigates how centralized development strategies affect local participation and spatial access. Primary data were collected between May and November 2024 through desk research and semi-structured interviews (N=10) with government officials, private-sector developers, and civil society organizations. The findings reveal that local participation is not merely suboptimal but structurally marginalized. In the Kura-Kura SEZ, governance takes the form of spatial enclosure, with corporate identity card systems restricting traditional fishermen's access to the coastal commons. In Sanur, the rapid displacement of coastal traders demonstrates institutional co-optation, using local village elites as intermediaries to enforce compliance and neutralize resistance. Ultimately, this article contributes to environmental political science by conceptualizing SEZs as exclusionary political arenas rather than purely administrative spaces. To prevent further marginalization, the study recommends legally embedding traditional (Adat) representation on SEZ supervisory boards and decentralizing environmental oversight to ensure inclusive and sustainable coastal governance.
