| Summary: | Law no. 21/2001 about Special Autonomy for Province of Papua is an
acknowledgement from the government of the Republic of Indonesia about the
operational of local government in Papua. This law is also known as an
acknowledgement from government about identity and rights owned by Papua�s
local people and also as conflict resolution between people in Papua who in one
side were willing to separate from the Republic of Indonesia while government in
the other side was not supportive with that. The law consists of some particular
authorities given to people in Papua as affirmative action policy.
The affirmative action policy�s implementation includes giving structural
bureaucracy position is an interesting issue to get a research titled �Affirmative
Action Policy (The Implementation of Papuanisation of Bureaucracy Position and
the Leadership of Local People of Papua in Jayapura Regency�s Local
Government Neighborhood in Special Autonomy Time).� The formulation of
problem is: How does the appointment of local people in Papua as bureaucracy
official in Jayapura Regency�s local government get done? Why is the
appointment committed as affirmative action policy? How does the
implementation of affirmative action policy in time of special autonomy in Papua
Regency go? And how is the implementation of leadership of local people in
Papua as bureaucracy official in special autonomy time? To answer these, the
writer uses qualitative descriptive research method to describe research�s object
and subject. To collect data, the writer chooses documentation technique and
interview. Respondents in this research are Baperjakat Team in Jayapura
Regency, bureaucracy apparatus in Jayapura Regency�s local government, and
some stakeholders such as academician, journalist, religion prominent figure,
youth prominent figure, etc.
The research result shows that Papuanisation of bureaucracy position and
the leadership of local people of Papua in Jayapura regency�s local government
can happen because the affirmative action policy for local people in Papua can
break current personnel regulation. Weak rules along with strong intervention of
political officials in appointing and allocating local people in Papua into structural
bureaucracy position cause this process and so does Papua-non Papua status
factor. The appointing of local people in Papua is meant to stabilize operational of
government and Indonesia�s sovereignty as well. Allocating process for local
people of Papua in 1
st
and 3
rd
echelons is should be done by affirmative action so
that local people will be accommodated in structural bureaucracy position as their
incapability in merit system compared with non Papua civil servants. The research
proves that internally, bureaucracy of local people of Papua has strong influence
to get strategic bureaucracy position
