“…In many cases, the recruitment process for unskilled workers starts in their hometown and is often beyond the reach of the state bureaucracy, except for the local village apparatus, which authorizes the statement of residence for Indonesian foreign migrant workers candidates. The business of foreign migrant workers is initiated in villages (Tirtosudarmo, 2018). Based on Bank Indonesia (BI) data from 2014 to 2019, remittances obtained by the state from Indonesian migrant workers deployed to Malaysia reached Rp.…”

“…In general, state bureaucracies do not want to adopt international conventions that can enhance efforts to protect and strengthen the rights of migrant workers. Collusion between the bureaucracy and labor recruitment agencies has been an open secret that subsequently hinders government regulations on migrant labor issues promoted by international agencies, such as the ILO, in an effort to change the existing fraudulent policies regarding foreign migrants (Tirtosudarmo, 2018).…”

This study addresses efforts made by Indonesian government actors in Malaysia and Hong Kong to protect Indonesian women migrant workers in the informal sector working in both countries. Indonesian female migrant workers in Malaysia were numbered the highest in Southeast Asia, while Indonesian female migrant workers in Hong Kong were the highest in Asia. The theories and ideas used in this research are the concepts of countries and migrant workers suggested by Gunawardana with the classification of brokerage, regulatory and protectionist regimes. The increasing number of work-related cases of violence, access to health, and legal protection indicates that the problems faced by Indonesian women migrant workers and the role of government protection remain partially addressed. By using qualitative research methods, and in-depth interviews, the current study found that Indonesian government actors in Malaysia made efforts to protect two women migrant workers who were victims of violence. However, it was not only due to protection efforts but also because of the role that civil society had in their efforts to resolve the cases. Meanwhile, Indonesian government actors in Hong Kong had not performed optimally in seeking protective measures for victims of violence, and there was a dominant protective role maintained by civil society in Hong Kong in regards to the Erwiana case. The domestic recruitment process, which is quite lacking in terms of protection, had an effect on the violence experienced by the two Indonesian female migrant workers in Malaysia and had no effect on the Indonesian female migrant worker in Hong Kong. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the role of Indonesian government actors in protecting women migrant workers is part of the protectionist regime but is partially executed because they had not been afforded protection since their departure. The novelty of this research is that the role maintained by civil society has led to the shift of the broker regime toward the protectionist. This research discovered a new finding that given the role of civil society and the synergy between government actors and civil society, the role of the Indonesian government is identified to be in the protectionist regime even though it is partial and conditional, namely given the role and participation that civil society holds.

“…This, in turn, put increasing stress on Port Numbay's population growth, which was further intensified by transmigration policies introduced across Indonesia (Abdoellah, 1987). The transmigration program was first initiated during the Dutch colonial period but it later became part of the official policy of the Indonesian Government, with movements of hundreds of thousands of people and reaching the highest volumes between 1979 and 1984 of the New Order years (Tirtosudarmo, 2015, p. 22). The policy aimed to address the issue of overpopulation in Java, which was densely populated compared to other islands and provinces in Indonesia.…”

This article aims to shed light on the impacts of peri‐urbanisation processes across two case studies in Port Numbay within the Province of Papua. Five methods were used to gather data: focus group discussions, semi‐structured interviews, archival research, ethnographic observations, and remote sensing imagery and geospatial analysis tools. The results generated insights into: (1) the lasting legacy of historical transmigration and decentralisation policies that have influenced the processes of peri‐urbanisation in shaping the social and economic conditions within peripheral communities; (2) how peri‐urbanisation has impacted biophysical environments including social‐ecological systems and environmental health systems; (3) a range of peri‐urbanisation trends (land clearing, deforestation and expansion of settlements over time). The article tests an interdisciplinary method for monitoring processes of peri‐urbanisation. It concludes that approaches to decentralisation, health service delivery and sustainable development interventions into peri‐urban zones should consider local conditions. Recommendations for policy and further research are also provided.

“…Dengan menggunakan kerangka analisis frontierisation dan defrontierisation ini penulis harap tulisan ini berhasil, walaupun tidak selengkapnya, "melakukan analisis tentang proses-proses sosial, politik, ekonomi maupun kebudayaan yang dianggap telah mengakibatkan terjadinya peminggiran sebagian warga bangsa" (Tirtosudarmo, 2017) dan selain itu bagaimana status pinggiran itu bisa diatasi melalui agensi dari masyarakat beraliansi dengan pihak lain, seperti instansi konservasi dan gerakan masyarakat adat.…”

Bersandar kepada naskah lama dan mutakhir yang menggunakan konsep frontier, tulisan ini menyajikan studi kasus proses frontierisation dan defrontierisation di Dataran Lindu, Sulawesi Tengah. Sesudah penjelasan difokuskan pada proses, tulisan ini menggambarkan pula sejarah Dataran Lindu melalui empat dimensi frontierisation – yaitu kendali, ekstraksi, pemukiman, dan konservasi – dari zaman prakolonial sampai era pascareformasi. Studi kasus tersebut digunakan untuk memikirkan kembali gagasan seperti pembalikan status frontier dengan mengurangi perhatian pada indikator demografis dan ekonomis dan lebih memfokuskan pada faktor lain, seperti agensi dari masyakarat lokal yang didominasi/dipinggirkan dalam usaha membalikkan relasi kuasa. Hal itu kemudian menjadi kriteria utama dalam pembalikan status frontier (defrontierisation). Pembalikan status frontier ini seperti terlihat pada perubahan posisi To Lindu sebagai orang asli di wilayah Sulawesi Tengah. Mereka telah mengalami banyak peristiwa; mulai dari keadaan dipinggirkan di masa kolonial, lalu didominasi oleh migran Bugis yang memperkuat usaha kewiraswastaannya dengan menggunakan alasan pembangunan dan aliansi dengan instansi pemerintah pada era pascakolonial, sampai pada peristiwa penarikan kembali penguasaan atas wilayahnya oleh masyarakat To Lindu melalui aliansi dengan gerakan masyarakat adat dan organisasi konservasi di era reformasi dan pascareformasi.
