First, it explores how leadership theory has abandoned its masculine perspective in favour of a "more feminine" one. The COVID-19 pandemic, a crisis that crippled the socio-political structure, has contributed to this shift. Second, the experiences of grassroots leaders who are active in the domestic sphere have begun to be considered, as has their increased activeness in the public sphere during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, studies of women's leadership are highly elitist; such a paradigm is problematic, as it prioritises formal power structures and ignores the grassroots leaders who play a central role in maintaining the social order. This research finds that the pandemic has provided a valuable impetus not only for studies of formal elites but also women at the grassroots. Women have become highly powerful agents in the domestic sphere during the pandemic, and even expanded their agency into the public sphere. Women leaders have facilitated the implementation of government and community crisis response measures at the grassroots level.

This constitutes a relatively understudied challenge facing democratization processes: when and how do democratic reforms succeed in fostering the emergence of new elites? This paper addresses this question through a study of village head elections in three rural districts around Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Comparing older studies of village head elections with ten in-depth studies of recent village head elections as well as assessments of the backgrounds of eighty village heads (kepala desa), this paper shows that a remarkable change has taken place. Whereas up to ten years ago many villages were still ruled by leaders from established families with a quasi-hereditary grip on power, in recent years such leaders are rapidly being replaced by village heads with more modest family backgrounds and a different style of leadership. This important change has resulted from a combination of democratic reforms, the diversification of rural economies, and the particularly competitive character of village head elections. Elite renewal is possible when open and information-dense elections coincide with a process of economic diversification undercutting the economic dominance of established elites.

The analysis identifies the processes of women's empowerment, their involvement in grassroots women's collective action, engagement with civil society organisations, and how women influence village institutions, policies, development spending and priorities, and new projects as well as social norms in communities.

I examine vulnerability meanings from various social dimensions in Groningen to get a richer understanding and a better picture of Groningen. I utilise feminist political ecology as it is linked feminist economist and feminist political ecology to criticise and challenge the neoliberal ideology of the state to drive away from economic interest and put its citizen well-being into first place. As it happens in Groningen, people in Groningen are over-coming vulnerability by going together to criticise The Dutch government economic interest on gas extractivism in Groningen by doing "care", "common", and "enough". People of Groningen challenge The Dutch government to stop gas extractivism and put its citizen well-being as the government priorIty.

Among other area, gay movement in Yogyakarta has demonstrated a vibrant and progressive movement. However, gay movement in Yogyakarta is not growing without challenges. Since it first appearaizce in 1980s, gay movement in Yogyakarta has been evolved substantively in terms of size, approach, and magnitude. Based on close observation and interview with gay activists in Yogyakarta, this paper aims to figure out the nature of gay movement in Yogyakarta and describes their struggle for coexistence among social communities in Yogyakarta.

This movement has united Catholicism and indigenous religion in an effort to promote sustainability, conservation, and environmentalism. Using the institutions of tradition and religion, this movement has negotiated with the State and the private sector and advocated for a moratorium in mining. This article is a qualitative one, employing interviews and focus group discussions as well as a review of documents and previous research into Manggarai and mining conducted by the Research Centre for Politics and Government (PolGov). This study seeks to understand how tradition and religion have been consolidated in their efforts to stop mining in Manggarai. It makes four important findings. First, although manganese does not have much economic value, it is important for poor provinces such as East Nusa Tenggara. Second, Catholicism and indigeno...

Advokasi ini dilakukan melalui masyarakat desa melalui pembentukan Kelompok Konstituen (KK) Mele Maju, dengan dukungan dari mitra dampingan MAMPU, yaitu Bursa Pengetahuan Kawasan Timur Indonesia (BaKTI). Kelompok ini beranggotakan laki-laki dan perempuan, serta terbentuk untuk mendukung proses advokasi di desa dalam beberapa isu, khususnya bagi perempuan. Salah satunya adalah dengan menanggapi norma sosial yang menyebabkan adanya pemakluman kekerasan yang terjadi terhadap perempuan di desa, baik kekerasan fisik, ekonomi, maupun psikologis. Pemakluman kekerasan menyebabkan kasus kekerasan yang terjadi kerap tidak terlaporkan. Selain itu, norma sosial juga telah membatasi keterlibatan perempuan dalam ruang formal dan informal proses pembuatan keputusan terkait kebutuhan masyarakat.

For women who live in areas where their access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is already limited, the need for more
stringent health practices has added another layer of concern in their daily lives.
Globally, the measures required to restrict or reduce the spread of COVID-19 have fallen largely
on women as additional, unpaid household chores that include making sure there are sufficient handwashing facilities for the home, encouraging behavioural change such as mask-wearing, and the home schooling of children.
This report has found that the women in a village coastal community have had to deal with this in conjunction with long-standing concerns about cleanliness in an environment with inadequate or non- existent sewerage facilities.
Added to this is a reduction in income as most women who do paid work are in the informal sector. Having less cash has reduced their capacity to buy drinking water, or the water needed for extra cleaning and washing. Overall, poor access to WASH makes people more vulnerable to the coronavirus.
The report has also found the pandemic has had some positive impacts on access to WASH, including the creation of handwashing stations outside of homes, and assistance from government and community institutions to provide aid and basic necessities.
This report looks at the experiences of people facing the effects of the pandemic in the low socioeconomic environment of the coastal community of Tambak Lorok. The findings suggest the pandemic has impacted all residents’ access to WASH, but affects women and men differently.
The biggest challenge for women and girls in these communities, however, in terms of access to water, sanitation and hygiene, is the effect of local coastal flooding, which in some seasons occurs daily
and can last up to two hours. It occurs because of a number of factors including location (high tides), groundwater extraction and inadequate infrastructure.

Corruption studies are mostly focusing on institutional corruption or using an institutional approach to understand corruption. This research offers to understand corruption better using actor-based and network approaches. Utilising social network analysis (SNA), researchers unpacking corrupt relational actors in natural resources, especially in oil and gas and forestry in Indonesia. We collected six important findings; corruption creates dependencies amongst actors; to be corrupt, an actor must have a strong network and resources that can offer and deliver multi-interests. Corrupt action is a repeated action that creates interlocking relations amongst actors. Interlocking relation serves as a safety belt for each chauffeur. Institutionalisation of corrupt networks only requires a strong corrupt network. The institutionalised corrupt networks shape a shortcut both for the private and public sect...

It is served as hegemonic discourse in development discourses . I will demonstrate the relevance of my argument using power and knowledge by Foucault (2003), ecology of knowledge and colonialism by Santos (Santos et all 2007), cultural imperialism and orientalism by Said (1978), and encountering development and planning by Escobar (1995). These theoretical frameworks will support my argument on examining on how ideology of development project has not been changed since Truman’s speech in 1949. I consider it is relevant to be dicussed as implementation of development project in developing countries are dictated by developed countries. Thus, a critical thinking is imperative to overcome asymmetrical power and challenge current development thinking to be as contextual as possible.

I will demonstrate my argument by using “environmentalism of the poor” by Anguelovski and Allier (2014) and “varieties of environmentalism” by Guha and Alier (1997).
This theoritical framework will help me to examine that environmentalism movement in the ‘South’ is distinct with environmental movement in the ‘North’. Hence, it does not eliminates and exclude environmental struggle in the South from environmentalism discourses.

The beginning of their extractions dated back since the pre-colonial era and thence got more systematic and intensive. Extraction of natural resources persists to be the main source for revenue following the establishment of Indonesia as an independent state in the 1945 and has been playing vital role in financing many of its development projects. Though in the latter years following the end of the oil-boom era other sectors' contribution for the overall national revenue have become more prominent, the extractive industry sector maintains its vital contribution. The transformation of general governance structure in post-1998 Indonesia also affects this sector of extractive industry, especially one which regulates the national and sub-national relations, relatively favoring the latter especially on the issue of revenue sharing. However, it turns out that more fiscal share does not necessarily lead to increase of welfare and more democratic political life at the local level. This paper produces the map on how welfare regimes operate in resource-rich regions of Kutai Kertanegara and Bojonegoro, the dislocations each of them produces, how these dislocations are articulated as antagonisms and producing counter discourses, and pinpointing the position of citizenship in these discursive battles.

Equitable and Sustainable WASH Services: Future challenges in a rapidly changing world. Proceedings of the 42nd WEDC International Conference, 2021
This project sought to document the impacts of and response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Tambak Lo... more This project sought to document the impacts of and response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Tambak Lorok, an urban fishing village on the coast of Central Java, Indonesia. In particular, the perspectives of women residents were prioritised to better understand the relationship between the pandemic, access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and changes in gender roles.
Several of the negative health, economic and social impacts of poor access to WASH, for example the burden of water collection; health consequences of lack of access to sanitation facilities and the increased risk of infection in health care facilities, are borne dispropritonately by women (Grant, Huggett, et al., 2016).
There is also increasing evidence that suggests that women are dispropritonately affected by the health, economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (Al-Ali 2020, Azcona, Bhatt, et al., 2020, Chang 2020). This includes increased violence against women, less access to sexual and reproductive health and decreased livelihoods for women who are overrpresented in the informal sector. Furthermore, women are bearing additional household burdens (for example childcare, cleaning, cooking, shopping and home- schooling) (United Nations 2020). Many of these additional household burdens are WASH-related given that hand hygiene is one of the most important strategies for preventing the spread of coronaviruses and extra water is needed for cleaning surfaces and clothing ((World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) 2020). Consequently, organisations such as UN Women have called for more data about the impacts of the pandemic to support the development and implementation of gender-responsive policies globally (Azcona, Bhatt, et al., 2020 p3).
This study focused on the experiences of women in Tambak Lorok: the largest urban fishing village in Semarang City which is on the north coast of Central Java, Indonesia (Astuti and Handayani 2020). As with other coastal areas in Semarang, Tambak Lorok experiences high tides (locally referred to as rob) which lead to flooding of houses, roads and public transport systems as well as overwhelms local drainage systems (Ley 2020) and access to safely managed WASH is generally poor (Ley 2020).

It is around 6.9 million households in Belgium, Italy, France, Germany and 7.6 million households in the Netherlands are resource- dependence of Dutch gas extractivism. Furthermore, gas revenue has contributed to 20% of the Dutch GDP. In 2009, the gas revenues reached to 15.2 billion euro and in 2012 12.4 billion euro.
Besides the enormous amount of revenue, gas extractivism in Groningen has caused earthquakes since early 1990s. It has been wrecking of many buildings like houses, schools, churches, monuments, harming trust to the government, and affecting mental health of the Groningers. In the early period of the disaster, the dominant discourse serves by the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) and the Dutch government claiming the earthquake as a natural disaster due to the storm. Shifting discourse from natural disaster to man-make begin when a 3.6 Richter tremor hit Huizinge village and massively damaging houses and barns. The political consensus between the NAM and the Dutch government have agreed to capped gas production while the consensus made by the Groningers are stopping gas extractive.
Explore contested political clash between the Groningers and the Dutch government on the impact of gas extractivism in Groningen, The Netherlands, I will examine ‘two waves’ of political contestation. First, the grassroots movement and political (re)action of NAM and the Dutch government before 2012; and the second, the grassroots movement and political (re)action of NAM and the Dutch Government after 2012.

Generating natural resources revenues in almost part of the world, including in ASEAN countries, ... more Generating natural resources revenues in almost part of the world, including in ASEAN countries, are taking place in indigenous peoples’ territories, which is richly endowed with timbers, minerals, oil and gas. This endowment has attracted extractive industry companies to start and continue exploitation of indigenous people’s territories. These activities has displaced and destroyed indigenous people’s communities along with violencing indigenous peoples’ rights and leading to environmental degradation. In this point, natural resources endowment does not bring welfare but curse to indigenous peoples’ community.
The emerging of civil rights movement has brought international attention to indigenous peoples’ rights in terms of civil, political, and cultural rights. Started with the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in 1965 then followed by the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights n 1966, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in 1976, indigenous peoples’ rights became an international discourse even without particular discussion on indigenous peoples’ right in extractive industries.
This paper will discuss on how free, prior and informed consent is implemented and equips indigenous peoples in order to struggle and maintain their properties by advocating in a regional basis. An optimistic thinking over FPIC approach across Southeast Asia is quite high because FPIC stands under democracy and open governance umbrellas which massively implemented in ASEAN Countries.

The dominance of these “migrant” ethnic groups has changed the character and structure of the local regime in Belu Regency. This dominance is supported by “migrant” groups’ capacity to manage their economic assets (land and border areas) into political, social, and cultural ones. Land, as a symbol of power, has traditionally been controlled by the church and adat groups but has progressively become dominated by migrants as they have accumulated economic, political, social, and cultural power. Meanwhile, migrants have used border regions to reinforce their economic and political power through international trade activities, be they legal or illegal (with the support of security forces).

I examine vulnerability meanings from various social dimensions in Groningen to get a richer understanding and a better picture of Groningen. I utilise feminist political ecology as it is linked feminist economist and feminist political ecology to criticise and challenge the neoliberal ideology of the state to drive away from economic interest and put its citizen well-being into first place. As it happens in Groningen, people in Groningen are over-coming vulnerability by going together to criticise The Dutch government economic interest on gas extractivism in Groningen by doing "care", "common", and "enough". People of Groningen challenge The Dutch government to stop gas extractivism and put its citizen well-being as the government priorIty.
