Key messages Mediation is a conflict resolution mechanism that has emerged in countries with lots of conflicts related to land and industrial tree plantations. Its application on the ground, however, has yet to show satisfactory results.Mediation can be seen as a part of conflict transformation as it aims at reaching a long-term solution acceptable to all parties.There are many approaches to mediation in Indonesia, depending on legal processes and the status of mediators. In turn, this opens the door to mediation through the courts with certified mediators.The emergence of mediation and its recognition by the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry is closely linked to the acknowledgment of the pres...
Focused on forest management and governance, this book examines two decades of experience with Adaptive Collaborative Management (ACM), assessing both its uses and improvements needed to address global environmental issues. The volume argues that the activation and the empowerment of local peoples are critical to addressing current environmental challenges and that this must be enhanced by linking and extending such stewardship to global and national policymakers and actors on a broader scale. This can be achieved by employing ACM’s participatory approach, characterized by conscious efforts among stakeholders to communicate, collaborate, negotiate and seek out opportunities to learn collec...
“The Palgrave Handbook of Political Norms in Southeast Asia offers a fresh and insightful analysis of the dynamics of political change ongoing in the region. The collection brings together a set of highly expert authors from inside and outside the region, who offer a deep understanding of the region’s history and politics, providing a stimulating and colourful take on the region’s contemporary political movements. The Handbook will be invaluable to both longstanding observers of the region and to newcomers seeking to understand both the diversity and complexity of Southeast Asian politics, and its regional distinctiveness.” —Professor Caroline Hughes, University of Notre Dame, U.S....
An unflinching investigation of the false promises of land sparing, exposing how its illusory successes mask the failures of green capitalism For two decades, the concept of land sparing, the claim that agricultural intensification can spare land by preventing forest clearing for agricultural expansion, has dominated tropical forest conservation. Land sparing policies transform landscapes and livelihoods with the promise of reconciling agricultural development with environmental conservation. But that land sparing promise is false. Based on six years of research on agrarian frontiers in Indonesia, Brazil, and Bolivia, this book traces where and how land sparing becomes policy and charts the social and ecological effects of these political contests. Gregory M. Thaler explains why land sparing appears successful in some places but not in others and reveals that success as an illusion achieved by displacing deforestation to new frontiers. The failure of land sparing exposes a harsh truth behind assurances of green capitalism: capitalist development is ecocide.
Indonesia was founded on the ideal of the "e;Sovereignty of the People"e;, which suggests the pre-eminence of people's rights to access, use and control land to support their livelihoods. Yet, many questions remain unresolved. How can the state ensure access to land for agriculture and housing while also supporting land acquisition for investment in industry and infrastructure? What is to be done about indigenous rights? Do registration and titling provide solutions? Is the land reform agenda "e;legislated but never implemented"e; still relevant? How should the land questions affecting Indonesia's disappearing forests be resolved? The contributors to this volume assess progress on these issues through case studies from across the archipelago: from large-scale land acquisitions in Papua, to asset ownership in the villages of Sulawesi and Java, to tenure conflicts associated with the oil palm and mining booms in Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Sumatra. What are the prospects for the "e;people's sovereignty"e; in regard to land?

Pasca-Reformasi 1998, persoalan marjinalisasi dan pemberdayaan masyarakat adat, hak atas tanah dan hutan, politik identitas, serta pengaruh politik kolonial yang menyertainya menjadi perhatian berbagai kalangan. Meski berusaha berimbang, banyak tilikan terjebak dalam bias, sehingga memunculkan wajah ambigu masyarakat adat atau gerakan masyarakat adat. Sekaligus menutupi tantangan sesungguhnya: kemiskinan dan ketidakadilan. Kajian tentang masyarakat adat maupun gerakan masyarakat adat umumnya menggunakan pendekatan esensialisme pada satu sisi dan pendekatan dekonstruksi sosial pada sisi lain. Pemosisian dua kutub semacam ini dirasa belum cukup. Karena itulah, kajian lebih mendalam tentang mayarakat adat maupun gerakan masyarakat adat menemukan urgensinya. Buku ini menawarkan lensa yang lebih strategis. Pemahaman gerakan masyarakat adat macam apa yang dapat diperoleh dari lensa baru ini? Buku ini menjawabnya,
Ide awal buku ini lahir pada penghujung tahun 2020 saat kami menggagas perlunya mengundang ilmuwan sosial politik dari seluruh dunia untuk menulis refleksi bersama atas situasi demokrasi di Indonesia dalam rangka ulang tahun ke-50 LP3ES yang jatuh pada 19 Agustus 2021. Forum itu kemudian kami beri nama Forum 100 Ilmuwan Sosial Politik. Di forum itu, 3-4 orang ilmuwan sosial politik dari berbagai negara di dunia hadir setiap minggu, untuk berbicara di webinar LP3ES tentang berbagai tema, antara akhir Oktober 2020 hingga awal Juni 2021. Tercatat, ada 135 ilmuwan sosial politik (92 laki-laki dan 43 perempuan) yang bergabung bersama kami, baik berbicara dalam webinar, mengirimkan tulisan, ataupu...
