“…The literature on state rescaling tends to be divided over the consequences of the shifting role of the state under the influence of globalization on urban, regional, and territorial governance. Published case studies are dominated by developed countries in Western Europe and the Americas, where decentralization approaches are favoured, such as state restructuring, jurisdictional reform, partnership and privatization (Brenner, 2003; Fricke and Gualini, 2018; Jonas and Pincetl, 2006; Klink, 2013; Masson, 2006; Sheller, 2009). Meanwhile, some experiences in developing and transitional countries in Eastern Europe and East Asia (especially Japan, South Korea, and China) are showing a move towards centralization through, for instance, nationalization and statization (Gimm, 2013; Li, 2015; Li et al., 2014).…”

In the past decade, Indonesia has become one of the Asian countries that massively promote large-scale infrastructure development to stimulate economic growth and improve the nation's competitiveness. Using the theoretical perspective of state rescaling, we explore how megaproject complexity defines the scope and process of state involvement in Indonesia's regional infrastructure planning, development, and governance. Aided by a typology of state rescaling, we compare two megaproject case studies: the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (JBHST) and the Kertajati International Airport and Aerocity (KIAA). It reveals that the dynamics of political culture, governance style, and policy domain shed light on the pragmatic rediscovering of state activism to manage risk and uncertainty in Indonesia’s multi-actor and multi-scale megaproject decision-making environment.
