Judul: Mindset behind Indonesian forest business policy: a discourse analysis
Abstrak: By using a discourse analysis, this qualitative research was aimed to better understand the flow of mindset adopted by far in forest utilization policy making processes, especially in the context of natural production forest in the outer island. The discourse drawn from both legal texts available and from the results of indepth interviews as well as internet on-line polling, strongly indicated that the flow of mindset adopted dominantly by far was so called “the forest first”. This was shown by its characteristic, primarily putting the natural forest to be the first and main factor implying that forest are conceived as ecosystems that function on ways depending mainly on their nature and putting such human related aspects as social, politics and economic to be exogenous. As a result, any significant deviation resulted in great and serious damages some of which were irreversible. To avoid such a terrible consequence, some improvement and re-orientation in policy making processes are needed in terms of its quality of both substance and process. In line with this, the “quality” of the discourse needs also to be improved mainly for the purpose to increase people knowledge and experiences, as well as policy space and actor networks. Above all, as all findings are considered to be product and hegemony of power under both Foucault and Gramsci ideas, it is then necessary to collectively realize, break and end the power hegemony first, before executing all reforms identified in this research. To do so, all forest practitioners and foresters have to be out of their usual “box”.

This policy is enforced by mandatory, either for the harvested timber from the state forests or from private forest. Since its formulation to implementation, this policy reap the pros and cons. Parties are "pro" argued that in order to achieve the above three objectives, the policy must be enforced by mandatory for all timber businesses, while those who "cons" of this policy looked too much intervention of the private sphere. The objective of this study was to describe the process of policy-making timber legality in private forest, which is achieved by analyzing: 1) the determinants of performance, 2) discursive base for the establishment of regulation and determining influences, and 3) policy space as well as the prospective of policies. Observations on policy implementation was made on the private forest that had been certified with TLAS scheme. This study applied a descriptive analysis method synthesis, analytical hierarcy procces, and analysis of IDS. The study concluded the following: (1) the most dominant determinant factors for development of private forest are market price formation and organizational capacity, (2) Strong goverment, counterpart’s country, and donor institution may cause legality narrative dominate the process of policy making, and marginalize the economy incentives narrative, and (3) the strong actors, networks, interest, and narrative may cause limited policy space for policy change.
