  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

The recent tragedy in Wamena, a town situated in the hinterland of Irian Jaya, has refocused attention on the remote and restive province. This outbreak of violence, in which over 30 people were killed and dozens injured, was triggered when a group of Brimob police removed one of the separatist ‘Morning Star’ flags that were flying in the town. However, most of those killed were transmigrants. This event, together with the subsequent shift in stance towards the separatist movement, signals a definite change in both the tactics and policy being used by the central government. This change is of immense importance, as it provides insight into the current power struggle among the political elite in Jakarta and could have the most profound implications for the government’s attitude towards other provinces with secessionist tendencies. It could also have major implications for Indonesia’s foreign policy. INTERVIEW WITH A.M.

Golkar members in turn suggest that the division into three provinces would benefit PDIP and enable the new governors to divert A presidential instruction (Inpres) issued in January funds to the local PDIP campaigns. 2003 to divide Papua, Indonesia’s easternmost province, into three parts has done more to create The overriding motivation behind the decree tension and turmoil there than any government action appears to have been the weakening of the Papuan in years.

The possibilities include: territorial unit, and it has thrown Papua’s administrative status into legal limbo.

It has infuriated many Papuans, by the leaders of pro- and anti-pemekaran pro-independence and pro-autonomy alike, who have positions respectively, leading to physical a deep attachment to Papua as a single political unit clashes; pre-election Golkar and PDIP with a distinct history and who see the decree as a rivalry could easily add to the tension; so divide-and-rule tactic by Jakarta.
