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”.

Judul: Analysis of policy making process and implementation of decentralized management of protected forest policy
Abstrak: Base on Regulation 38/2007, the management of protected forests decentralized to regency government. Even though decentralization policy of forest management on protected forests has been enforced, deforestation still continues to occur. This indicates that the policy is not effective. The ineffectiveness of the policy can be caused by the policy itself or failures in its implementation. Content of a policy is closely related to the process of policy making itself. Currently, political framework of the decentralization policy formulation in the management of natural resources and environment (including protected forest management) is based on administrative approach rather than ecosystem approach. This research aims to: i) identify the policy making process of decentralized management of protected forest, ii) analyze the gap between decentralization policy and its implementation, iii) analyze the performance of regency government in managing protected forests, and iv) analyze the appropriate form of decentralized management of protected forests in accordance with Forest Management Unit (FMU/KPH) concept. The research was conducted in three regencies within Batanghari watershed area, namely East Tanjung Jabung regency (downstream), Sarolangun regency (middle stream), and South Solok regency (upstream). Qualitative methods were used to analyze policy making process, discourse analysis, assumption analysis, and qualitative descriptive. Besides quantitative method was used to conduct scoring, in the assesment of regency government performance, economic and ecological benefits, and social capital of communities around the forest areas. In order to support the assesment of regency government performance, analysis of forest cover changes was carried out including forest cover in year 1990, 2000 and 2009. The research showed that there are three discourses in policy making process on authority division, namely i) the democratic discourse, ii) the economic discourse and iii) the economic and democratic discourses. It is difficult to implement externality narative in the process of authority division policy making. Redefinition of externalities and interdependencies can be used as narratives of new policies to improve the policy division of authority among government levels. There still exists some gaps between decentralized policy and its implementation, where each stakeholder has not play its role appropriately yet. The average score of performance of three regencies governments in the management of protected forest is relatively low, which is showed by the high deforestation rate. Theoritically, there are four options of FMU institution, namely: the the central government FMU through delegation to regency goverment, the provincial FMU, the regency FMU, and the national/regionally owned enterprises (BUMN/BUMD). Policy of asymmetric decentralization is an option in decentralised management of protected forest, because forestry is an option matter.
