Trans-Boundary Haze Pollution in Southeast Asia: Sustainability Through Plural Environmental Governance
sustainability Article Trans-Boundary Haze Pollution in Southeast Asia: Sustainability through Plural Environmental Governance Md Saidul Islam 1,*, Yap Hui Pei 2 and Shrutika Mangharam 1 1 Division of Sociology, Nanyang Technological University, 14 Nanyang Drive, Singapore 637332; [email protected] 2 Division of Psychology, Nanyang Technological University, 14 Nanyang Drive, Singapore 637332; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +65-6592-1519 Academic Editor: Marc A. Rosen Received: 29 February 2016; Accepted: 13 May 2016; Published: 21 May 2016 Abstract: Recurrent haze in Southeast Asian countries including Singapore is largely attributable to rampant forest fires in Indonesia due to, for example, extensive slash-and-burn (S & B) culture. Drawing on the “treadmill of production” and environmental governance approach, we examine causes and consequences of this culture. We found that, despite some perceived benefits, its environmental consequences include deforestation, soil erosion and degradation, global warming, threats to biodiversity, and trans-boundary haze pollution, while the societal consequences comprise regional tension, health risks, economic and productivity losses, as well as food insecurity. We propose sustainability through a plural coexistence framework of governance for targeting S & B that incorporates strategies of incentives, education and community resource management. Keywords: slash-and-burn; environmental governance; haze; Indonesia; plural coexistence; global warming; Singapore 1. Introduction The world’s rapidly growing population has been a long-standing cause of concern amongst both economists and environmentalists alike. There is an increasing demand for agricultural and urban spaces to sustain the ever-multiplying demographics. However, due to limited availability of space, the trend of clearing forests to make way for cultivable land has been gaining popularity [1]. -

Companies Investigated Over Forest Fires in Riau
DOKUMENTASI ARTIKEL DAN BERITA LINGKUNGAN HIDUP SURAT KABAR : JAKARTA POST EDISI : 4 /MARET/2014 SUBYEK : KEBAKARAN HUTAN Companies investigated over forest fires in Riau The Riau Police are looking for companies or financiers believed to have hired farmers and residents to clear trees by fire. “We are searching for the financiers,” Riau Police chief Brig. Gen. Condro Kirono told the media at a coordinated meeting at the Riau Haze Disaster Mitigation command post at Roesmin Nurjadin Air Base in Pekanbaru on Monday. He said the police had also instructed residents, especially those living in areas prone to forest fires, not to clear land by burning. The measure, added Condro, was expected to raise awareness of the health hazards from haze as a result of forest and peatland fires. The Riau Police earlier named 40 suspects implicated in forest and peatland fires in various regencies and cities across the province. “They were caught and immediately named suspects over the past few weeks,” said Riau Forest Fire Task Force leader Sr. Comr. Estuning. Estuning added that the police were investigating 31 forest and peatland fires in a number of regencies and municipalities in Riau. On Saturday, Coordinating People’s Welfare Minister Agung Laksono said that local and Singaporean companies were responsible for the haze plaguing Sumatra. Singapore responded to Agung’s statement by demanding to know the names of the Singaporean companies or individuals and the evidence against them.Meanwhile in Jambi, 17 hotspots were detected on Monday, four of them in Batanghari regency, three in West Tanjungjabung, six in East Tanjungjabung and two each in Muarojambi and Tebo. -

However, I the celebration is disturbed with the dispute among members of the parliament (DPR), which is divided into two coalitions, the People’s Coalition supporting Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the National Coalition as the opposition. The disagreement in the parliament was foreseeable the moment the National Coalition was established back in September to support the candidacy of the incumbent Megawati Sukarnoputri, as five major and medium-sized parties joined forces to support Megawati in the presidential election. The two coalitions are now fighting for positions in the DPR commission leadership. It has been more than one month since members of the parliament were sworn in on October 1, 2004. However, not much has been accomplished by the DPR, because the commissions have not yet been confirmed. In fact, the creation of the commissions itself was the main trigger to the dispute between the two coalitions. -
Jokowi: the Second Hundred Days
Jokowi: the second hundred days 04 March 2015 Summary The inauguration of Joko Widodo as President of Indonesia in October 2014 was a landmark event in Indonesian politics. The subsequent hundred days have fulfilled some of the huge expectations of Jokowi and frustrated others. The reasonable prediction that Jokowi would quickly find himself dealing with the messy compromises and obstacles of minority government have so far proven correct, although not in the way they were often made. Jokowi’s administration has set a number of big targets that as yet seem at odds with some fairly conservative instincts on trade and the economy. Jokowi’s first hundred days have defined some fairly fundamental challenges for his second. The inauguration of Joko Widodo as debilitating fuel subsidy programme President of Indonesia in October 2014 was balanced by a political storm of was a landmark event in Indonesian proportions not even critics of Jokowi politics. Predictions on the first hundred could have foreseen, which pitted the days spanned a broad spectrum, with President not only against his party but optimists on the one end anticipating the police, anti-corruption institutions decisive policy and personnel changes and the public at large. On the economy, that would set the ground for a cutting fuel subsidies have freed up some transformation of Indonesian politics much needed fiscal space, but there and governance, as well as the economy, are serious questions around both the and pessimists on the other hinting that approach of delivering infrastructure in the face of insuperable opposition in investment through the inefficient Parliament the President would likely and notoriously corrupt state-owned be impeached before the hundred days sector as well as the hugely ambitious were out. -

Supporting Democratic Indonesia: British and European Options
POLICY The European Think Tank with a Global Outlook BRIEF Supporting Democratic Indonesia: British and European Options Summary: Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s landslide win in the 20 October run-off presidential election has lifted local and foreign hopes that Indonesia’s nascent democracy will finally be in safe hands. Yet, his administration faces a fractured parliament and a challenging array of long-delayed economic and administrative reform challenges. As the world’s most populous Islamic country, as a political leader of the developing world, and as the world’s largest exporter of liquid natural gas, Indonesia is of considerable importance to Britain and Europe. Britain and Europe can help Indonesia consolidate its democracy. To do this effectively though, they must take into consideration the growing role of Islamic parties and the problems the new President will face in working with the parliament and addressing popular alienation. British and European aid programmes should shift to strengthening Indonesia’s political parties in a neutral manner, supporting more substantial administrative reform and championing institutional leaders of reform, such as the National Economic Council. A Policy Brief from the Foreign Policy Centre provides commentary and practical policy recommendations on topical problems confronting the international community. The views are not necessarily those of the Foreign Policy Centre. The author of this Policy Brief is Dr Malcolm Cook., Programme Director Asia & the Pacific for the Lowy Institute in Sydney (www.lowyinstitute.org). Before joining the Institute in November 2003, Malcolm ran his own consulting practice on Southeast Asian political and economic policy reform and risk analysis and successfully completed his doctorate on the politics of banking liberalization in Southeast Asia at the Australian National University. -
