“…Großmann (2018) pointed out the role of social-media in the so-called "success" in anti-mining campaign in Bangka, Indonesia. Since majority of the younger respondents are into the socialmedia as compared to the older, fisherfolks, for example, our data doesnt seem to support the claim by Großmann (2018), probably due to low number of respondents and our questions were not geared towards the influence of social-media on the perception of the respondents. We do not, however, dismiss the role of campaigners as to why the company halted their full-scale mining operation.…”

“…Yet at the same time, a small but growing social movement is targeting the extractives sector in Indonesia, seeking institutional changes regarding inter alia the governance of licensing, land accumulation practices, fiscal arrangements, and ecological and social impacts. Scholarly literature has only recently begun to explore Indonesia's mining social movements, and their strategies [10], [11], [8]. Through an analysis of coal mining in East Kalimantan, this paper contributes to this incipient literature by posing two research questions: (a) how, and to what extent, have social movements been able to influence extractive industry governance by penetrating the political relationships and bargains that prioritize elite interests; and (b) when social movements do successfully manoeuvre through the political settlement to influence the policy process, what factors influence the possibility that the policy changes which they secure are implemented?…”
