Book Description
Abstract: This thesis proposes that an examination of the complex politics in the forestry sector of Indonesia will result in a model for understanding Indonesian politics more generally. The forestry sector has been chosen because of its importance to the Indonesian economy, and the large number of non-government organisations (NGOs) in the sector which have dedicated their activities to preserving the Indonesian forest environment.--Orthodox analyses of Indonesian politics have argued that the politics of policy making in the New Order are isolated from non-state (and depoliticised) constituency pressure. If the orthodox analysts are correct, forestry policy should be designed and implemented by the Indonesian bureaucracy unaffected by any advocacy of the NGOs. However, this thesis contends that there is indeed a state/constituency relationship in policy processes in the forestry sector of Indonesia. Moreover, the state/constituency relationship can be seen as part of an evolutionary Indonesian polity in which the demands of the constituencies are accepted as a legitimate part of national politics. But while the environmental NGOs' advocacy can be considered part of the Indonesian political terrain, the NGOs none-the-less 'pick their fights' with the state, thereby making their actions oftentimes, opportunistic and targeted. To assist our understanding of the complex state/constituency relationship in the forestry sector, the thesis suggests a theoretical approach, 'targeted pluralism'. Targeted pluralism builds on the theoretical model of 'restricted pluralism' proposed by R. W. Liddle, and offers three other mechanisms of influence (International Patronage, Flexible Participation and BINGO [Big NGO] Involvement) used by constituencies to have their policy demands met by the New Order government. Targeted pluralism marks a small but incremental step towards a model of Indonesian politics that accommodates more transparent and pluralistic politics, at least in the Indonesian forestry sector, and argues that on occasion constituencies can target state policies and the bureaucracy to have their particularistic demands met.-- The thesis begins by offering a review of the environmental/political literature on the Indonesian forestry sector. The theoretical model of 'restricted pluralism' is then discussed and its applicability to the Indonesian forestry sector assessed The historical and political contexts which have shaped contemporary Indonesian forestry policy are reviewed before moving onto the case-studies. The thesis provides three case-studies which suggest that the environmental NGOs, and other constituencies, have sought and achieved policy outcomes sympathetic to their particular political demands. The first case-study offers an analysis of the campaign concerning a proposed P.T. Astra-Scott Cellulosa pulp and paper project in Irian Jaya and the challenge national and international environmental NGOs presented to domestic Indonesian policy during and after the campaign. The second case-study chronicles the struggle of activists to have the state alter existing policy on the level of economic rent captured by the state, which the activists claimed, remained below acceptable levels given the nature of the sector and the disproportionate amount of rent accurnulated by timber industrialists. The final case study shows a promising form of cooperation between the state, bureaucratic agencies and environmental NGOs, to improve the state of the forests in Java while increasing the standard of living for rural populations dependent on the same forested areas. The conclusion that the thesis and case studies encourage is one which supports an understanding of Indonesian politics being far more complex and pluralistic than previously believed, and where there is more 'beneath-the-surface' and above-the-surface political activity in Indonesian than expected.

Book Description
In 17 chapters, contributors including anthropologists, economists, foresters, geographers, human ecologists, and policy analysts document events in Indonesia that have accelerated the exploitation of Indonesia's richly diverse but threatened forests, and assess what can be done differently to counter asset-stripping, corruption, and the absence of government authority. The editors note that the challenges to biodiversity in Indonesia have parallels in other developing and transitional countries. An appendix includes a timeline of major legislation.

Book Description
This book presents a technical review of ecological and life history information on a range of Bornean wildlife species, aimed at identifying what makes these species sensitive to timber harvesting practices and associated impacts. It addresses three audiences: 1) those involved in assessing and regulating timber harvesting activities in Southeast Asia, 2) those involved in trying to achieve conservation goals in the region, and 3) those undertaking research to improve multipurpose forest management. This book shows that forest management can be improved in many simple ways to allow timber extraction and wildlife conservation to be more compatible than under current practices. The recommendations can also be valuable to the many governmental and non-governmental organisations promoting sustainable forest management and eco-labelling. Finally, it identifies a number of shortcomings and gaps in knowledge, which the hope can interest the scientific community and promote further research. This review is, an important scientific step toward understanding and improving sustainable forestry practices for long-term biodiversity conservation. Even in the short term, however, significant improvements can be made to improve both conservation and the efficiency of forest management, and there is no need to delay action due to a perceived lack of information. In the longer term it is expected that the recommendations from this review will be implemented, and that further research will continue to help foster an acceptable balance among the choices needed to maintain healthy wildlife populations and biodiversity in a productive forest estate.

Book Description
W.M. Otto PhD was director of the IJsselmeerpolders Development Authority, in the Netherlands, from 1963 to 1967. His contribution to the first development of Flevoland, which had been newly reclaimed from the sea, was very important. So the name ‘starter motor of Flevoland’ is justified. In this biography has been told how he led the designing and the first phase of the development of the new towns Lelystad and Almere. Will Otto was a tireless lobbyist for the interests of the former and the future population of Flevoland. A lot of them were originally inhabitants of Amsterdam. Otto was at the same time ‘landdrost’ of the Southern IJsselmeerpolders Public Authority, in Lelystad as well as in Dronten. He exercised the duties and powers of the municipal council, the municipal executive and the mayor together. In practice Otto cooperated well with the advisory council, which had been elected by the citizens. Otto also contributed to the land-use planning and the forestry policy in the Netherlands. His first job was forester in Dutch East Indies (1946-1950). Later he developed a vision on saving the tropical rainforest, especially in Indonesia. He initiated PROSEA (Plant Resources of South East Asia). This international project published 24 manuals, based on a database. This describes economically useful plants and trees in Southeast Asia. This title is a translation of Will Otto (1919-2008), Startmotor van Flevoland, which appeared in 2017 in Dutch. The PDF of the original title is free for all as well, and can be found here: https://www.barkhuis.nl/product/will-otto-1919-2008/.
