Papua’s absorption into Indonesia in an en- gineered “referendum” in 1969 remains openly contested by many Papuans and the international supporters of their cause. In Papua, Indonesian security actors battle the country’s last active separatist insurgency. The vast majority of Indonesia’s political prisoners are Papuans, while ordinary Papuans have the lowest incomes and the highest mortality in Indonesia. As a result, support for independence continues to be widespread. But while military repression and indigenous resistance are major sources of violence in Papua, they are only one part of a complex topography of insecurity. As this study demonstrates, vigilantism, clan conflict, and other forms of Military repression and horizontal violence produce more indigenous resistance are only casualties than the vertical conflict that is often the exclusive focus of part of a complex topography international accounts of the Papua of insecurity in Papua problem. Similarly, Papua’s coerced incorporation into Indonesia is not as unique as it is frequently made out to be; it mirrors a pattern of long-term annexation that also exists in other remote and highland areas of China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Thailand. There, highland populations have found themselves on the receiving end of xiv Bobby Anderson the violence of expanding lowland states. These annexed areas share similar histories of colonial settlement, land seizure, abuses by petty authorities, the rise of resistance, and violent state oppression. Despite these similarities, however, this study highlights one major difference between Papua and other Asian remote and highland areas: no other area of highland South and Southeast Asia has experienced such an absence of the state and its services—except for territories in which debilitating insurgencies caused state services to collapse or No other area of highland Asia never develop in the first place. In has experienced such an absence many indigenous areas of Papua, of the state and its services by contrast,

Background: In Indonesia, malaria incidence is at a high rate despite maximum preventive efforts. Therefore, this study aims to determine the possibility of a Plasmodium reservoir among domestic animals in malaria-endemic areas. Methods: Animal blood was collected using EDTA tubes, then smeared and stained with Giemsa for Plasmodium microscopic identification. About 10 µl of blood was dropped on to a filter paper to capture Plasmodium DNA. Nested PCR was used for parasite molecular detection, while Plasmodium species were identified using the sequenced DNA. Results: A total of 208 and 62 animal blood samples were collected from Gaura village, West Sumba and Fakfak village, West Papua, Indonesia respectively.

Many of these challenges are illustrated in the case of food policy in Indonesia, the subject of this study. After a period during which free trade and neoliberalism pervaded its national policy, Indonesia has experienced a rebirth of economic nationalism in national development. This is highlighted by food policies and political economic decisions being made at the national level focused on protection of domestic agricultural and trade sectors. This study applies qualitative research methods and historical analysis to understanding why this phenomena is taking place. This analysis explores intersections of state development, food security and globalization that influence policy–making, and identifies conflicting political

    Local Elections and Autonomy in Papua and Aceh: M itigating or Fueling Secessionism? Marcus Mietzner1 Since the 1960s, scholars of separatism have debated the impact of regional autonomy policies and general democratization measures on the strength of secessionist movements in conflict-prone areas. In this heated academic discussion, supporters and critics of political decentralization advanced highly divergent arguments and case studies. On the one hand, numerous authors have identified regional autonomy and expanded democratic rights as effective instruments to settle differences between regions with secessionist tendencies and their central governments.2 In their view, regional autonomy has the potential to address and ultimately eliminate anti-centralist sentiments in local communities by involving them more deeply in political decision-making and economic resource distribution. They point to cases such as Quebec in Canada, where the support for the separatist Parti Quebecois dropped from almost 50 percent in 1981 to only 28.3 percent in the 2007 elections.3 Other examples of successful autonomy regimes frequently mentioned by pro-autonomy academics and policy-makers include Nagaland in India, the Miskito 1 The author would like to thank Edward Aspinall, Harold Crouch, Sidney Jones, Rodd McGibbon, and an anonymous reviewer for their useful comments on an earlier version of this paper. 2 See for instance George Tsebelis, "Elite Interaction and Constitution Building in Consociational Societies," Journal of Theoretical Politics 2,1 (1990): 5-29; John McGarry and Brendan O'Leary, "Introduction: The Macro-Political Regulation of Ethnic Conflict," in The Politics of Ethnic Conflict Regulation, ed.

In previous years, he served as Coordinator of the German West Papua Netzwerk (2004-2009), and as Asia Secretary of the United Evangelical Mission (2007-2010). INTRODUCTION Annually, on February 5, especially in every round fifth year, thousands of pilgrims populate the tiny island of Mansinam in the Dorehri Bay in the Regency of Manokwari, West Papua, Indonesia. While the mainly Protestant Christians commemorate the arrival of the first missionaries in 1855, the local hotel industry has its peak season. Coming from Manokwari town on the mainland – some having travelled from neighbouring Papua New Guinea,2 or farther abroad – the pilgrims reach Mansinam by traditional canoe in less than 30 minutes. Because an islet of 450 hectares is not very well suited to accommodate thousands of people, the worshippers, often including the governors, and other VIPs, of 1 The author presented this paper in abbreviated form on June 23, 2011, during the Inaugural Conference of the Melanesian Association of Theological Schools (MATS), held from June 21-24, at the Pacific Adventist University in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
