Bengkulu is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has natural beauty and attractive tourist destinations; however, the development of its tourist villages has not been optimal in order to improve the welfare of rural communities.

Bending The Golden Giant: Indonesia's Bargaining Power for Nationalized Control Over PT. Freeport Indonesia
Full text linkFrom 2009-2017, the renegotiation process between Indonesia and PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) has provided crucial insights into the International Political Economy's (IPE) understanding of the relationship between developing nations and Multi-National Corporations (MNCs). This paper delves deep into the evolving dynamics between Indonesia and Freeport McMoRan, spotlighting the concept of state capacity as a lens to decipher the nuances of bargaining power in the realm of natural resource extraction. Advocating an original perspective, our study charts a strategic path for developing nations to reassert control over their natural resources vis-à-vis MNCs. At its core, this research underscores the enduring sovereignty of states, albeit adapted to the demands of an increasingly globalized world. The outcomes bolster the argument that, even in a globalized context, states retain the capability to harness their sovereign standing, enabling them to negotiate effectively with MNCs

The Complexities of Annual Reserved Land Leasing in Indonesia: Insights From A Specific Local Context
Full text linkTaking economic benefits from reserved land became a considerable business for many local governments worldwide, including the Bima Regency Government, through an annual leasing policy. Besides its success story, which can increase regional original income, the policy implementation also leaves complicated problems, often characterized by the tension of the struggle for management rights and negative accusations regarding the auction process, which needs to be more transparent. This article discusses an empirical case about the tension of actor relations in the scramble for limited resources in a local context, where the authors conducted in-depth interviews with several informants who were selected through purposive sampling techniques, including those in charge, directors, and leaders of the Regency Level Committee, as well as individual participants, both those who won and lost in the annual leasing auction. Although the land leasing policy can increase local original income and provide opportunities for landless residents to engage in agricultural activities, the auction practice is often marked by a need for more transparency and conflicts of interest. Such a conflict is especially evident in the uneven auction process, which tends to trigger stakeholder tensions. This policy has yet to be entirely successful in supporting land conservation for long-term agricultural production regarding the threat of land degradation due to excessive exploitation

University Curricula and Student Movement in Indonesia: “Gejayan Memanggil” Protest in Yogyakarta
Full text linkStudent movements have played a significant political role in many countries in Asia, including Indonesia. They have been labeled "agents of change", and their movements are regarded as "moral forces" that push political change through street protests. Why do students join protests? What motivates them? How do their motivations relate to institutional aspects of universities, including the course materials they learn in class? This article attempts to answer these questions within an Indonesian context using the case of "Gejayan Memanggil" ('Gejayan Calling'), a 2019 student movement that had been the largest such movement in Yogyakarta since 1998. This article argues that students' self-perception as "agents of change", rather than institutional support, was their primary motivation to join the protests. Other contributing factors were the demands and form of the protest
