“…The problem that triggered this rebellion was a very strong centralization policy in the Soeharto era which created social and economic injustice in Aceh (Miller, 2009). In handling this rebellion, several approaches have been conducted by the government including: the military approach (Soeharto), the welfare approach (Habibie), the dialogue approach (Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati, and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) (Ananta, 2007;Ansori, 2012;Myrttinen, 2011). After the adoption of Law No.…”

Purpose of the study: The aim of this study is to examine the role of special autonomy funds in poverty reduction in Aceh and to find out how to deal with poverty in Aceh and what obstacles are faced by Aceh Government. Methodology: This research used a qualitative method with a case study approach to provide a detailed explanation and exploitation. Research data obtained through interviews and data obtained also through local and national online media and the media data were analyzed using Nvivo 12 Plus, specifically by using the NCapture feature, which allows researchers to systematically compile and analyze documents. Main Findings: This study found that the implementation of poverty reduction programs and policies is still in the form of false participation due to low transparency and accountability and economic dependence on other regions outside Aceh and the small number of medium and large industries in Aceh. Applications of this study: The findings of this study are useful for exploration by the Aceh Government in order to maximize the role of special autonomy funds in poverty alleviation efforts in Aceh. Novelty/Originality of this study: Research on the Aceh Special Independence Fund has been widely explained by a number of researchers. However, there is no publication that specifically explains the role of special self-government funds to reduce poverty. Consequently, the use of accountable and transparent special autonomy funds can reduce poverty in Aceh.

“…As experiences from elsewhere (e.g. Aceh, Indonesia) show, it is important that not only ANSA leaders, but also rank-and-file combatants and civilians from other ethnic groups, are included in local government initiatives, so as not to produce new forms of dominance (Ansori 2012).…”

Introduction In Myanmar/Burma a core preoccupation is the ongoing peace process that will end 65 years of armed conflict in the resource-rich borderlands populated by ethnic minorities. This takes place alongside a transition from totalitarian military rule towards democracy and a rapid influx of international aid agencies and investors. In this article we engage with the wider debate about 'Demobilization, Disarmament and Reintegration' (DDR) programmes and argue that in the present Myanmar peacebuilding context it is highly unlikely that conventional DDR programmes will suffice to support stability and sustainable peace (

“…In this context, elite used their predatory power in the form of money politics and violence in appropriating local resources [2], [3], [1]. Others have pointed out that asymmetric decentralisation in a form of special autonomy has given spaces for elite to promote local democracy and later contest for local power and authority [4], [5], [6]. However none of them examined the role of ideology as power resource used by local elite.…”

As a result of recent political dynamic, particularly after the world most complicated simultaneous national elections, Aceh referendum discourse has been reechoed by Acehnese local elite. This issue has become an interesting phenomenon to be investigated. As a result of MOU Helsinki Peace Agreement in 2005, Aceh has been granted as a special region by the central government by way of an asymmetric decentralisation scheme to run its government. Is it true that the local Acehnese really want the referendum? Or is it just a political discourse enacted by the local elites for their own political interests? This paper examines how ideology operates through discourse. It uses Van Dijk ideological discourse analysis. This paper argues that referendum issue reenacted is not just an ordinary elite' speech. It strongly entails political ideology of certain group. For ideology to operate in discourse, local elites have strategically manipulated context, event, knowledge and their group belief both to attract public attention and to strengthen their political bargaining position with the national elites.
