Abstract

REDD+ is an international initiative focused on mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. Developing countries can secure funding from developed countries to preserve their forests. However, despite the ideal goals set, the project's achievements varied due to differences in responses among local communities in several areas. This research employs anthropological perspectives and ecological knowledge of worldviews to analyse the factors that contribute to these discrepancies. By analysing REDD+ in Cardamom and Hieu Commune, it was discovered that there are variations in how indigenous people perceive their relationship with the environment. In this case, the Cardamom community perceives the environment as a source that will provide all their essential needs. Meanwhile, in Hieu Commune, people follow traditional methods to manage the natural woodlands, embracing the concept of a sacred forest, where taboos, spiritual beliefs, or religious convictions protect nature. These distinctions subsequently lead to variations in locals’ responses to REDD+, which in turn can impact the success of project implementation.

Abstract

This article interrogates the enduring character of non-binding, sovereignty-centric refugee governance across Southeast Asia by analyzing the role of Indonesia within two principal displacement episodes: the Indochinese refugee crisis (1975–1996) and the ongoing Rohingya crisis. Applying the analytical lens of historical institutionalism and foregrounding the notion of path dependency, the account demonstrates how operational norms forged under the Comprehensive Plan of Action—including temporary humanitarian shelter, conditional burden redistribution, and the construal of displacement as a temporary aberration—have resurfaced in Indonesia’s present-day posture. Archival records, policy tracts, and a selective review of the secondary literature furnish a reconstruction of Jakarta’s stewardship of the Galang Island camp and an assessment of its recent practices toward the Rohingya, encompassing semi-offshore rescues and deference to international humanitarian actors. The inquiry substantiates profound institutional and normative continuities that circumscribe Indonesia’s capacity and readiness to construct durable, rights-respecting protection frameworks, notwithstanding a shifting geopolitical and humanitarian tableau. By embedding Indonesia’s trajectory within the regional governance matrix, the study illuminates historical legacies that continue to inform Southeast Asian refugee policy and underscores the constraints afflicting reactive, episodic cooperation in the face of protracted displacement.

Abstract

This paper critically evaluates Indonesia’s involvement with ASEAN in the governance of refugees, contextualizing this within a regional impasse associated with an enduring prioritization of national sovereignty over collective obligations to promote humanitarian response. The paper examines Indonesia’s participation in the Bali Process, its bilateral refugee management efforts and its response to the Rohingya crisis to assess whether Indonesia is a positive or negative influence on the development of a cohesive ASEAN refugee framework. The results underscore the fragmented nature of ASEAN’s approach, driven by the principles of non-interference, the securitization of migration, and the lack of binding legal obligations, that stand in the way of the development of a structured and rights-based approach to asylum. As high-profile as Indonesia has been in demonstrating humanitarian leadership in some crises, it adopts restrictive domestic asylum policies that preclude engagement in foreign policy advocacy for regional solutions. The study contends that unless the region is able to transcend sovereignty-based limitations and adopt necessary institutional reforms, ASEAN’s standing regarding refugee governance will remain compromised.
