Abstract

This study discusses Indonesia's energy transition policy amid geopolitical risks and global economic and political instability based on the perspectives of energy economics, power structures, economic dependence, and trade wars. Energy transition is proposed due to its increasing popularity as Indonesia promotes clean energy and aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2060 amid geopolitical issues and global economic and political instability. The selection of Indonesia's energy transition policy is to determine the significance and urgency of this policy from an economic policy perspective. This study analyzes Indonesia's energy transition policy from an economic policy perspective through the dimensions of power structures, economic dependence, and trade wars. This study uses a narrative literature review and adopts a research design to extract research data. The data comes from a review of relevant literature found based on predetermined keywords on the topic of the development of Indonesia's energy transition policy. Indonesia's energy transition policy amid the risk of geopolitical instability shows a dynamic that continues to change depending on geopolitical conditions, the international power structure, and ongoing trade wars. This study proves that the energy transition policy is driven by the Indonesian government's commitment to become an zero emission country. The international push for energy transition has an external influence on Indonesia's energy transition policy-making. In its energy transition policy, the Indonesian government faces a major dilemma, structural power challenges, economic/funding dependence, and the existence of national fossil fuels that frame the energy transition policy.

Abstract

Indonesia’s majority share acquisition in PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) since 2017 is often narrated as a success of resource nationalism, yet human security conditions for indigenous Papuan communities around the mining area remain precarious. Drawing on the human security framework (UNDP) and the concept of structural violence (Galtung), and applying Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis to corporate communications, official statements, policy documents, and human rights reporting from 2017–2025, this study explains why ownership change has not translated into local protection. The analysis shows how the paired discourse of “sovereignty”, “development”, and “security” reframes labor conflict and coercive governance as necessary for stability and investment, thereby normalizing exclusion. Empirically, the crisis is manifested in the 2017 strike-related dismissals and subsequent terminations affecting approximately 8,000–8,300 workers, restrictions on access to housing and essential services (including health care and schooling), and persistent environmental violations documented by state authorities. These dynamics generate interconnected threats to economic, health, environmental, and community security, producing haram through institutional arrangements rather than isolated incidents. While Papuan workers and customary institutions mobilize resilience through strikes, litigation, and advocacy, their claims remain politically unresolved. The article concludes that resource nationalism is insufficient unless it is accompanied by rights-based governance that de-securitizes Papua’s policy space and makes corporate accountability meaningful at the local level
