“…As the introduction already explained, global actors, especially the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund initially introduced the EITI to Indonesia. They managed to convince the initially hesitant Indonesian government to join the EITI, with the Presidential decree 26/2010 as the legal basis for implementing the EITI in Indonesia (Rosser & Kartika, 2019). This presidential regulation stipulated the establishment of the EITI‐Indonesia MSG, an EITI steering committee and an implementing team.…”

“…From the Scopus database we could only retrieve two journal articles specifically discussing EITI implementation in Indonesia 6 . Rosser and Kartika (2019) discuss the political dynamics and actor constellations within the EITI‐Indonesia and revealed that the commitment to EITI implementation is waning. Yanuardi et al (2021) analyse the effects of the EITI, focusing on three aspects of governance quality.…”

“…Indonesia's government was initially not enthusiastic about becoming an EITI member, as evidenced by the government's slow response and initial ambivalence in joining the EITI (Rosser & Kartika, 2020). However, a combination of loan requirements and pressure from global actors such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, international NGOs, and donor institutions eventually persuaded Indonesia to join the EITI (Rosser & Kartika, 2019; Yanuardi et al, 2021). Whether deliberations and reflections on the EITI‐Indonesia go beyond merely complying with the standard's requirements is subject of study in this article, drawing on the concept of social‐ecological reflexivity.…”

Social‐ecological reflexivity of extractive industry governance? The case of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in Indonesia

2022

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) sets standards to improve the governance of extractive industries and thereby stimulate sustainable development. Member countries implement this standard through a multi‐stakeholder group (MSG) which facilitates deliberation between government, civil society and business representatives. This deliberation could enable what we call ‘social‐ecological reflexivity’: the ability to reconfigure oneself in response to critical reflection on one's performance in governing not only the economic, but also the social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Such reflexivity is crucial for countries to not only comply with the EITI standard, but also improve governance quality to address the social and environmental impacts from extractive industries. Drawing on a fully operationalised conceptual framework, we analyse social‐ecological reflexivity in the implementation of the EITI in Indonesia, a country that is heavily impacted by extractive industries. We draw on content analysis of the MSG meeting minutes and EITI‐Indonesia reports between 2012 and 2019. We show that the EITI‐Indonesia has not (yet) generated deep social‐ecological reflexivity. First, there is limited recognition and rethinking of extractive industry governance and no real response in the form of governance reforms. Second, there are even signs of what we call ‘anti‐reflexivity’, whereby members of the multi‐stakeholder group ignore and resist public debates around the negative impacts from extractive industries. In analysing the different components and degrees of reflexivity around the EITI‐Indonesia, the article provides vital insights into the (study of) conditions under which global norms such as the EITI find meaning in and affect specific contexts.

“…Indonesia makes an ideal case for exploring norm localisation dynamics in the extractive sector. It has adopted various global initiatives targeting transparency as part of broader good governance reforms – Indonesia being a key supporter of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) initiative, and having participated in the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) since mid‐2000 (see Rosser & Kartika, 2019; Soerjoatmodjo, Hanafi, & Triwibowo, 2014). At the same time, efforts to implement these global norms have encountered significant challenges in the context of Indonesia's newly democratised political system and the rise of populism 4…”

When global norms meet local politics: Localising transparency in extractive industries governance

Processes of norm localisation play a crucial role in shaping the extent to which global governance norms are institutionalised at national and sub-national levels. This article explores the politics of norm localisation through an empirical investigation of how global norms of "transparency" were localised in sub-national processes of extractive industry governance in Bojonegoro, Indonesia. Previous theories of localisation have emphasised "constructivist" dynamics through which patterns of norm localisation are shaped decisively by efforts to build normative or cognitive congruence with local ideas and identities. In contrast, the mix of a newly democratised environment, the persistent power of corporatist elite networks and a populist style of local politics prevailing in Bojonegoro have diminished the significance of such constructivist dynamics as a basis for explaining varied patterns of norm localisation. Instead, patterns of norm localisation have depended crucially on the capacity of local political leaders to harness global governance norms instrumentally as a basis for consolidating and strengthening their own local power base. These findings have important implications for both theoretical and practical understandings of how global norm localisation processes vary in response to the contrasting political contexts in which global governance norms targeting the extractive sector are implemented.

“…The Columbia Study came to be better known as a sociological model or approach. The sociological approach shows that there is an influence between sociological values attached to the individual that influences one's behavior in politics (Rosser & Kartika, 2020). Sociological values in the form of religion, social class, ethnicity, region, family tradition and others.…”

contestious dynamics of politics that occurred in the singular election

et al. 2021

This paper explores the contestious dynamics of politics that occurred in the Singular Election. We examine how in a feud of actors involved interacting dynamically with each other. The phenomenon of a single candidate is considered as an anomaly in the function of political parties which appears as a form of pragmatism in addressing pairs of candidates which are electable too strong. The strategy adopted by political parties in the lead-up to the elections by forming a coalition became the easiest strategy to achieve victory in a multiparty political system. There are two approaches in the perspective of the rational choice theory that can explain the reasons for political parties to do coalitions, namely office-seeking and policy-seeking. The characteristics of the office-seeking coalition model are fluid, not permanent. This justifies a practical political adage that states that in politics there are no eternal friends or enemies, there are eternal interests. In the context of democratic coalitions that are built with office-seeking motives are considered very detrimental to the constituents. Political parties are considered to deny the constituents' trust by changing the alignments of coalitions that have the same platform to coalitions that have different platforms.
