An Investigation of Post-Conflict Property And A GEOGRAPHY OF PEACE: AN INVESTIGATION OF POST‐CONFLICT PROPERTY AND LAND ADMINISTRATION IN ACEH Arthur Gerrish Green IV Department of Geography McGill University Montréal, Québec April 2013 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Arthur Green 2013 There is no image, no painting, no visible trait, which can express the relation that constitutes property. It is not material, it is metaphysical; it is a mere conception of the mind. ~Jeremy Bentham Metaphors in law are to be narrowly watched, for starting as devices to liberate thought, they end often by enslaving it. ~US Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo ABSTRACT This dissertation contributes to the understanding of how the social embeddedness of property impacts post‐conflict natural resource management and peacebuilding. While the idea of property as rights is naturalized in many current discourses, working with this idea that property is merely rights can cause unanticipated problems. This is especially the case in post‐conflict scenarios, where rights‐focused approaches to property do not recognize how property is deeply linked to social identity, livelihoods, and political authority. In fact, in failing to understand the complexity of property, rights‐focused approaches may also fail to grasp how post‐conflict natural resource management can contribute to peacebuilding opportunities. The dissertation argues that failure to design policies that reflect the complex ways in which natural resources, property, social identity, livelihoods, and violent conflict are interlinked can undermine post‐conflict natural resource management and lead to missed opportunities to support peacebuilding. Using an analytical framework that draws key ideas from literature on property, post‐conflict natural resource management, legal geography, legal pluralism, and social identity, this dissertation critically examines experiences and debates regarding property in post‐disaster/post‐conflict Aceh, Indonesia, from 2005 through 2009. Research for this dissertation included semi‐structured interviews, focus groups, archival research, and observations from four field visits (totaling five months) between August 2006 and June 2008 to the city of Banda Aceh and the regencies of Aceh Jaya, Pidie, and Aceh Barat. The central theoretical contributions of this research include: (1) insights into how narratives surrounding property impact post‐conflict natural resource management policy and project design; (2) a reconceptualization of the multi‐scalar nature of property; and (3) development of a policy tool that identifies ways in which social identity interacts with natural resources and violent conflict in post‐conflict scenarios. The primary practical contribution of this research is the analysis of lessons learned from the land titling project undertaken in post‐disaster/post‐conflict Aceh, Indonesia and the distribution of this analysis to fieldworkers and policymakers. i RÉSUMÉ Cette étude a pour but de comprendre comment les facettes sociales de la propriété affectent la gestion de ressources naturelles ainsi que la consolidation et le maintien de la paix en milieux post‐ conflits. Bien que le concept de la propriété défini en tant que droits soit commun dans de nombreux discours intellectuels, simplifier la propriété à des droits entraîne de nombreux problèmes. Cela s’avère à être particulièrement le cas dans des zones post‐conflits où des approches axées sur les droits légaux ne reconnaissent pas comment les régimes fonciers peuvent être associés à une identité sociale, à des moyens de subsistance, ou à une autorité politique. En ignorant les dimensions sociales de la propriété, une approche centrée sur les droits juridiques sous‐estime le potentiel de la gestion de ressources naturelles comme outil stratégique pour favoriser le maintien et la consolidation de la paix. En effet, la thèse centrale de cette étude souligne l’importance d’étudier les interrelations entre la propriété, les ressources naturelles, les identités sociales et les moyens de subsistance en présence de conflits. Ignorer ces liens peut non seulement miner une gestion des ressources naturelles de manière durable, mais sous‐estime l’opportunité de créer et consolider le maintien de la paix. Le cadre conceptuel de cette recherche s’appuie sur plusieurs outils théoriques tels que la littérature sur les dimensions philosophiques de la propriété, les théories en matière de gestion des ressources naturelles, la géographie et le pluralisme juridique, ainsi que la théorie de l'identité sociale. Cette étude examine les expériences et les débats concernant la propriété dans une région post‐désastre/post‐conflit en Indonésie (la province de Banda Aceh), de 2005 à 2009. Cette étude qualitative a été réalisée à travers des entretiens semi‐ directifs, des groupes de discussion participatifs en zones rurales et péri‐urbaines, de la recherche en archives, ainsi que de l’observation directe à travers quatre visites de terrain (totalisant cinq mois) entre août 2006 et juin 2008 dans á Banda Aceh et les régions Aceh Jaya, Pidie et Aceh Barat. Cette recherche apporte plusieurs contributions théoriques, notamment : (1) une étude sur les discours et récits conceptualisant la propriété et son impact sur la gestion de régimes fonciers; (2) une conceptualisation géographique de la dimension multi‐scalaire de la propriété; et finalement, (3) le développement d'un outil stratégique identifiant les types de liens entre identité sociale et ressources naturelles en contexte de conflits. Finalement, cette étude apporte une contribution pratique à travers une analyse approfondie des leçons tirées du projet de restructuration des régimes fonciers entrepris par le gouvernement indonésien suite au tsunami de 2004. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I deeply appreciate the time that the people of Aceh gave to my research and work. I hope that this dissertation provides a window into their world and voice for their struggles. There are no words that are able to express the deep debt of gratitude I feel for the loving support of my life partner, Claire Tugault‐Lafleur. That frigid winter evening that the bus never came and we walked kilometers to get home through Montreal was the first time I knew the true warmth of love. I hope that I will have the opportunity to return your love as amply as you have given to me. I thank my mother, Dr. Claudia Green, for providing me the inspiration to pursue a career in education and the belief that anything is possible. I thank my father, Dr. Arthur Green III, for teaching me the root of the word ‘doctor’ and for planting a core belief in me that we can make our world a better place. I thank Steve Hundley for introducing me to the art and science of geography and being a good hiking buddy. I thank Carolyn Green for encouraging my sense of exploration and love of science. I thank Mike Robson for literally providing a roof over my head while I did this research. Thanks to my friend Skee for being the flip of my flop. My advisor, Dr. Jon Unruh expressed his constant belief in the value of my work and provided me with several opportunities over the course of my research – for this, I thank him. Funding for this research came from the McGill Major J.W. McConnell Fellowship, the United States‐ Indonesia Society (USINDO) Sumitro Fellowship, the Indonesian Social Equity Project Fellowship, and a grant from the Institute for the Study of International Development. I take all responsibility for errors or deficiencies in the text. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….i Resume……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….ii Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…iii List of Figures……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………vii List of Tables………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…ix Chapter One: Introduction ................................................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Problem Statement ..................................................................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Research Context ........................................................................................................................................................ 5 1.3 Research objectives ................................................................................................................................................. 14 1.4 Outline of Dissertation ............................................................................................................................................ 15 Chapter Two: Literature Review and Analytical Framework ............................................................................. 18 2.1 Introduction ................................................................................................................................................................ 18 2.2 Post‐Conflict Natural Resource Management (PCNRM) ........................................................................... 21 2.2.1 PCNRM and Peacebuilding ........................................................................................................................... 23 2.2.2 Post‐conflict Property Issues .....................................................................................................................

AW D 4B 006 070 PROGRAM STUDI MAGISTER ILMU POLITIK PROGRAM PASCASARJANA UNIVERSITAS DIPONEGORO 2009 ABSTRACTION The Development and Prospect of Local Political Party in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam As a consequence of the agreement between the Acehnese Freedom Movement (GAM) and Indonesian government, Aceh Province had a very special autonomy which made this province the only one which was allowed to establish a local political party. This special treatment was actually a privilege for this province in order to persuade the GAM to give up their rebellion and come back as the integral part of Indonesian’s Government. Given this background, this thesis tried to examine the development and prospect of this local political party during and after the 2009 election. The main findings of this research were: first of all, there were six local political party which followed as a contestant of the 2009 election: Prosperous and Safety Party (PAAS), The Aceh Sovereignty Party (PDA), The Independent Voice of Acehnese Party (SIRA), Acehnese Party (PRA), Aceh Party (PA) and Aceh United Party (PBA). Second, there were three parties which had strong influence among the six which are PA, PDA and PRA. PA gained its strong influence since it was established by GAM’s exponent, whereas PDA improved its influence to the Islam’s followers in Aceh while PRA was followed by NGO’s activists and academics community.

  • Aceh Interim Report May 2012
    INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Aceh Local Elections: Gubernatorial, Mayoral, & Head of Regency Elections 2012 -- Interim Report -- Report Date: May 3, 2012 The Asian Network for Free Elections wishes to congratulate the people of Aceh for their participation in the second local election held since the end of the conflict in the Province. The April 9th 2012 election is another milestone towards strengthening democracy and respect for the rule of law. This statement is an assessment of the pre-election period, Election Day, and the post-election period by ANFREL’s eleven Citizen Observers from countries across Asia as well as the USA and Canada. SUMMARY The April 9th election was the second opportunity Aceh has had to elect its own governor after the 2005 peace agreement that allowed a legitimate government to be set up according to the Principles of the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding and the Law on the Governing of Aceh (LoGA). The event was widely viewed as a crucial step to strengthen the institution of democracy in the province and a step forward in consolidating democracy amongst different stakeholders through peaceful means. Notwithstanding the violence, fraud and irregularities reported to the electoral supervisory body (Panwaslu), monitoring groups and political parties, it is worth noting that the electoral process can so far be categorized as successful. When viewed in the context of the past conflict, the election has been relatively calm and the electorate proved to be engaged, as evidenced by the over 75% voter turnout. ANFREL deployed 11 mobile monitors from 18 March to 18 April 2012 to cover all of Aceh’s regencies except the islands of Sabang and Simeuleu.

Jamil : The Latent Transformation Process of the Free Aceh Movement Ideology After The Peace Agreement -- Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 17(6), ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Transformation of Ideology, Latent Process, Free Aceh Movement and Post- peace ABSTRACT Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM), translated as the Free Aceh Movement, was established in 1976 with the aim of separation from the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). After more than 30 years of rebellion against the central government, the two sides reconciled in 2005. One of the most important points agreed upon is that Aceh remains within the framework of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. However, once the peace agreement was completed, former GAM combatants could still promote their ideology and symbols in latent forms in their families, in formal organizations and in the community at large. This research aims to describe in detail and analyze the latent process of the ideological transformation of the Free Aceh Movement conducted by former GAM combatants through their families, formal institutions or the social environment in general.
