<![CDATA[This research investigates the complex intersection of democratization, human rights, and agrarian dynamics in rural Indonesia, specifically focusing on smallholder coffee farmers in the Semende region, Muara Enim Regency. Despite the formalization of village autonomy through Law No. 6 of 2014, substantive democracy at the grassroots level remains constrained by persistent elite capture and systemic social exclusion.
