“…Therefore, the ENGOs are utilising their links where the company has, for example, customers to ensure that pressure is exerted on them so that they stop buying from these companies. Even though ENGOs' power is limited in Indonesia compared to Europe (see Nomura 2007), they are able to use their partnerships in Europe to pressure the companies in Indonesia. This is a reflection of the blanket nature of the campaigns, in other words covering as many areas of the company's operations (i.e.…”

“…The ENGOs are taking advantage of the so-called international opportunity structures (Tarrow and McAdam 2004), as the increasingly globalised nature of the forest industry facilitates the internationalisation of the ENGOs' campaigns, which is aided by the expansion of the environmental movement, for example, in Asia (see e.g. Nomura 2007). …”

“…In other words, social changes that weaken the established political order make them more vulnerable to challenges. For example, the development of democratic institutions in Indonesia places increased pressure on the government to listen to its constituents (Nomura 2007). In the situation presented here one can label it a corporate process model, whereby ENGOs have a greater likelihood in succeeding in their aims if they are campaigning at a time when the target company is already under pressure from other sources.…”

Globally, in recent decades, forest industry has come under increased scrutiny, often led by environmental non-government organisations (ENGOs). The present paper analyses the strategies used by the ENGOs in different forest conflicts involving forest industry. The main aim is to determine if there is a relationship between forest industries' partners (shareholders, financiers and customers) and the location of the ENGOs campaigning against them. Fourteen forest conflicts are used as case studies, representing different geographical regions. A detailed screening of the different actors and relations was performed for each case study based on existing academic literature, publications from relevant ENGOs and companies. The results reveal a strong correlation between the location of the ENGOs involved and the companies' financial and economic partners. We put forward, and test, a theoretical framework to explain the mechanisms used by the ENGOs to apply pressure on the companies involved in conflicts. The blanket nature of the campaigns by ENGOs illustrates that the movement has globalised in response to the global nature of the industry. The present research contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between forest industry and ENGOs, including the strategies employed by the ENGOs, and in assisting forest industry in its interactions with stakeholders, including ENGOs.

“…In line with the implementation of the open door policy and the environmental problems that are escalating in China, ENGOs are developing and actively involved in environmental protection despite restrictions on their activities from the government (Maohong, 2009). In Indonesia, in a different political context, ENGOs became an important part of the environmental movement in Indonesia during the New Order authoritarian regime (Eldridge, 1995) and in the more democratic post-New Order (Nomura, 2007).…”

This article presents a case study of a youth oriented-environmental NGO, Koalisi Pemuda Hijau Indonesia (KOPHI), which has experienced rapid growth in recent years in Indonesia. As a network organization, KOPHI has been able to accommodate youth in many cities throughout Indonesia, especially in prompting university students to get involved in numerous environmental actions. Its main activity is environmental conservation that is able to involve children, youth and communities in a number of cities. In contrast to established environmental NGOs, KOPHI has also been able to develop a mechanism for self-financing, so that it is not dependent on foreign aid agencies. The capacity of KOPHI in implementing the three dimensions of the strategic triangle (value creation, support & legitimacy, and operational capacity) is a key to the success in the sustainable growth of the organization and in its role in conserving the environment in Indonesia.

“…The globalizing Indonesia's forest was increasingly recognized, portraying the interplay between domestic and international dimensions that shape the commodification of forest resources. The dynamics of civil society movements were explained in relation to conflicts and fragmentations that shape the reconfigurations of state power, where ideas, institutions, and political interests evolves over time (Kurniawan & Rye, 2014;Okamoto, 2001;Nomura, 2007). Political differentiation is captured at various levels of political struggles, types of issues being advocated, strategies of representation and political articulation (Karimasari, 2011), and the involvement of transnational mobilization (Kurniawan & Rye, 2014;Di Gregorio, 2011).…”
