To identify the most useful policies, the authors of this article created detailed case studies from 2018 to 2020 on 15 key countries, which together comprise 84% of the world’s current coal power-plant capacity, and 83% of the global coal pipeline for new plants.
Indonesia is among the countries with the largest planned coal power capacity additions worldwide, thereby posing a substantial challenge for global climate change mitigation goals. To understand the underlying political drivers, the authors of this chapter carry out expert interviews and examine how individual actors and their objectives have been driven by the development of public infrastructure, while securing popularity for the presidential election in 2019.
The extraction of natural resources is inevitably bound to specific patterns of governance, usually centering on access control regulations. Thus, these governance efforts not only target the resources themselves or the land in which they are located, but also the lives of people living in and…
Despite widespread criticism and concerns about their impacts on climate change, fossil fuel energy sources like coal still contribute a significant share to the global energy supply. In emerging economies like Indonesia, they are perceived to play a pivotal role in meeting growing energy demands…
The article aims at expanding political ecology research towards the role and constitution of states by demonstrating how local stateness is negotiated within conflicts over natural resources. It draws on a qualitative field study on the conflict over coal mining in East Ka-limantan's capital…
Während die indonesische Regierung einerseits Maßnahmen zum Schutz von Wäldern und Torflandschaften umgesetzt hat, kommt andererseits fossilen Brennstoffen eine tragende Rolle im Rahmen der Energieplanung zu. Dies steht in deutlichem Widerspruch zu den Klimazielen des Landes.
