Agrarian conflict and land politics in Indonesia questioned after reform
Original: Rightlessness after reform? Agrarian conflict and the politics of land in Indonesia
A New Mandala piece examines whether Indonesia's post-Reformasi era has genuinely resolved land inequality, asking if rural communities remain effectively rightless despite democratic reform. It links ongoing agrarian conflict to the politics of land distribution, arguing that legal and political changes since 1998 have not secured land rights for many farmers and villagers contending with dispossession and state or corporate interests.
Why now: Land disputes between communities, companies and the state remain a persistent and contentious issue in Indonesia, drawing renewed debate over whether reform has delivered justice.
