Summary: | In this thesis I try to see how the connections between local and global
entities occured, between the villagers of Petak Puti and demonstration activities
(DA) of REDD +. Both of these entities met when the global discourse on climate
change appear. Those entity eventually influenced and intertwined so as to
produce what is arguably known as an unintended outcomes.
To study the local aspect, I trace historically about how Petak Puti�s
villagers Puti transformed. I use livelihood as an entrance to see how people adapt
to their environment. Agrarian transformation ensued in this area, starting from
the system of economic dualism (subsistence also with a cash crop) toward a
single system of market-oriented in commercial crops. In addition, the community
also has experience in dealing with governmentality interventions related to the
management of forests and peatland, such as Mega Rice Project, CKPP, GNRHL,
DAK DR and HTR which offers improvement for the environment and also
population. and also presents some problems.
Later in the global sphere I tried to trace the technology of
governmentality in environment, in this case the governmentality of climate. I see
how the journey of climate change discourse globally established, then producing
regime and also the apparatus of interventions to overcome these problems. After
that, REDD demonstration activity project was born as a response to global
environmental governance regime in which third world countries become the
main site to reduce global carbon emissions, which is actually produced by
industrialized countries.
When these two entities (Petak Puti People and KFCP) meet in the global
agenda to mitigate climate change, emerging friction occurs due to a variety of
interests in the Petak Puti village. The establishment of new institutions collide
with the interests of the village government�s elite. Then, it turns out reforestation
program lead to inequality among people from the incentives that offered. In
addition, the potential for land conflicts likely to occur due to the effect of the
presence of alternative livelihood programs which introduced rubber seeds.
