Open Seminar 12 December: Governance, democracy and citizenship
We have invited key note speakers to address four major governance challenges in Indonesia. They will present different – but not necessarily contrasting – perspectives: macro versus micro policies, inherited versus general citizens’ rights, national versus local interests, and normative versus empirical approach to governance for development. Discussants from the three SPIN projects will reflect on how the key note’s conclusions correspond with their own program’s findings.
I. Governance, democracy and citizenship: politics for development or project hunting?
Tania Murray Li (University of Toronto): “Governing rural Indonesia: convergence on the project system”
In contemporary Indonesia as in many other parts of the global south, policy plays a limited role in guiding the practice of rural development. What proliferates, instead, is the project: a time bound intervention with a fixed goal and budget, framed within a technical matrix which renders some problems amenable to intervention, while leaving others out of account. Thinking about rural development in terms of projects has become so routine that alternative ways of thinking and acting are scarcely considered. Yet, it was not always so. This paper compares the present conjuncture, in which the project system dominates, with historical conjunctures at which projects did not take the center stage. Two empirical studies serve to illustrate how a disparate set of actors –Indonesian government officials and politicians, social development experts at the World Bank, transnational conservation agencies and rural villagers – converged on the project system, with refractory results.
Second speaker: to be announced.
II. Governance, democracy and citizenship for climate change adaptation
Gerry van Klinken (KITLV, Leiden): “Researching the citizenship of weather-related disasters in SEA: between resilience and transformation”
Weather-related disasters (storms, floods, droughts, fires) are becoming more frequent, more damaging, and they mainly affect poorer countries, especially in Asia. Catastrophic scenarios of 4 degree warming kicking in by the 2060s are now a serious object of study. Climate change magnifies the uneven distribution of risk, further amplifying poverty. Massive weather-related disasters often open up space for intense, even if temporary, political negotiation by citizens. Some of this tends towards resilience – i.e., towards

 I. Governance, majority rule and citizenship: politics for development or project hunting? 
 Tania Murray Li (University of Toronto ): “ Governing rural Indonesia: convergence on the project arrangement ” 
 In contemporary Indonesia as in many other parts of the global south, policy plays a limited role in guiding the practice of rural growth. What proliferates, instead, is the project: a prison term bounce intervention with a fixed goal and budget, frame within a technical matrix which render some problems amenable to intervention, while leave others out of account. Thinking about rural development in terms of projects has become so everyday that alternative ways of thinking and acting are scarcely considered. Yet, it was not always so. This paper compare the present conjuncture, in which the project system dominates, with historical conjunctures at which undertaking did not take the center stage. Two empiric studies suffice to illustrate how a disparate set of actor – Indonesian government official and politicians, social development expert at the World Bank, transnational conservation agencies and rural villagers – converged on the undertaking system, with refractory result.
