Abstract

This article will address these key questions: why do the poor villagers are not participating within these formal participatory deliberative forums? and what do they do instead in claiming accountability and gain access to services and their everyday livelihood resources? Based on 10 months of village level ethnographic study in a West Java village between 2014 to 2015, this article will focus on how these village level democratic reforms are perceived and experienced by Indonesian villagers, especially by the poor, as they interact with a plethora of village level participatory democratic institutions that are become available. This article argues that despite the proliferation of village level democratic avenues, the poor villagers still regularly rely on informal means in engaging with their elites while at the same time forgo their chances to participate through the formal avenue of participation. These informal practices stem from three key rationales: the differential capacity of the poor to engage within formal deliberative mechanism; preserving their relation with their fellow elites; and increasingly competitive elites that become increasingly accountable in providing them with better access to services.

Abstract

The ambiguity of conception results in the explanation of the symptoms of religious radicalism at the global level becoming interpretative, depending on the contexts and meanings given by intellectuals. It becomes natural that knowledge of the conception overlaps with others, such as religious revivalism, fundamentalism, extremism, militancy, terrorism, and jihad. In line with the idea, knowledge on the discourses of religious radicalism in post-authoritarian Indonesia has been produced by institutions having the authorities and motives to make interpretations, according to the knowledge structure developed by their predecessors. These institutions, both state and civil society, construct the discourses of radicalism with descriptive explanations, to produce reproductive ideas rather than elaborative-transformative knowledge. The aforementioned opinion is true, but in practice, it is necessary to add a more comprehensive framework in explaining radicalism to anticipate its impacts. This article argues that the construction of knowledge on the discourses of radicalism must be placed within the framework of morphogenesis, where there are an elaboration and a transformation of the process of knowledge reproduction structurally, to produce a repertoire of new knowledge that is predictive. Mapping and construction of radicalism have been carried out based on products (results) as well as product makers (agencies) that form knowledge structures that can be used to mitigate as well as to provide early warning to control radicalism.

Abstract

This article focuses on institutional innovations in a farming community by linking the institutional approach in increasing farmers’ income. This article finds that institutional innovation is an important aspect in maintaining the sustainability of wet rice farming in Duriaasi Village. Previous studies, such as Vierimaa (2017), only made an analysis using the organizational political approach, while Michael Straub (2017) only explored the role of the mass media in political economy contestations. In contrast to both, this article uses the Fligstein and McAdam’s approach on Strategic Action Fields (SAF), which has a significant effect on analyzing the income of farming communities. Their income of farmers is influenced by the contestations in the purchasing of farmers’ crops by the bargainer (rice millers) inside and outside of the Village. In the SAF concept, the “native” bargainers hailing from Duriaasi village take place as incumbents, while the bargainers from outside the village are taking the position as challengers. This article is written based on a qualitative research, with data collected through desk research, in-depth interviews and observations from July 2017 to January 2018 in Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi.

Abstract

How does capitalism work through the web of life? How can we begin to understand capitalism not simply as an economic system of markets and production and a social system of class and culture, but as a way of organising nature? This essay explores a relational, historical, and geographical answer to these questions. Arguing that capitalism is a world-ecology that joins the accumulation of capital, the pursuit of power, and the co-production of webs of life in dialectical unity, Moore offers a way to understand today’s planetary crisis. That crisis marks a turning point not only in the planet’s climate system, but in ways of organization power, production, and reproduction over the past five centuries. Planetary justice in the twenty-first century will need to make sense of catastrophic climate change not just as matter of too many greenhouse gases, but also as a moment of the climate class divide, climate patriarchy, and climate apartheid.

Abstract

Actor-Network Theory (ANT) has been implemented to study various topics in Indonesian contexts such as microcredit, coral reef, contestation within the sustainable energy project, and civil-military relations. However, ANT is seldom used to examine laboratories as working assemblages in Indonesia, despite its crucial role in producing technological knowledge. In order to fill that research gap, this article intends to illustrate ANT implementation in studying the work of a laboratory, specifically at the Materials and Structure Lab and Civil Engineering Testing Lab of Universitas Indonesia using the concept or process of translation. This study found that a laboratory consists not only of human actors, such as authoritative experts, but alsoof non-human actors—e.g. buildings and equipment or machines. During its performance, the laboratory establishes an association, which is not only by creating, but also cutting off or choosing relations in accordance with the needs of the network, without all the actors being fully aware of it. This shows ANT’s limit in investigating elements outside the actions of actors in creating a network. The qualitative methodological approach is utilized with the consideration of better meeting the principles of ANT in following or tracing actors.

Abstract

Since the end of 1957, Dutch enterprises in Indonesia were nationalized and most of palm oil production affiliated with certain corporate groups that are engaged in diversified business. Most of these groups are dominated by ethno-Chinese businessmen. The rapid expansion of oil palm business in Indonesia has induced the inflow of foreign capital to plantation enterprises. The largest inflow has taken place from Singapore. However, most of the investment from Singapore was carried out by business groups dominated by Indonesian Chinese tycoons. This article shows that free-market conditions have influenced the orientation of nationalization of those enterprises. It has created the transnational conglomerate movement in case of palm oil plantation in Indonesia. This article is written based on qualitative research on secondary data from the Center for Statistical Bureau (BPS), etc.
