ABSTRACT Contestation over land, resource access and rents has long underpinned both sub-national conflicts and centre-periphery tensions in Indonesia. This paper explores resource conflict management in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the political economy of Riau province. It argues a centre-periphery bargain was struck at the onset of democratisation to redistribute a larger proportion of oil and gas rents to Riau, de-escalating support for the emergent Free Riau Movement. Through a combination of national and sub-national political settlements between narrow but adaptive coalitions of political-private sector elite interests, these coalitions have maintained their power and control over resource rents in three key sectors: oil and gas, timber, and palm oil. Brokers have been instrumental in maintaining the influence of these coalitions over time – helping to co-opt households into industry supply chains, who then support aligned political elites. This has produced relative stability in the political order in Riau, but one which displays the tenets of illiberalism in which the space for contestation is limited and social interests tend to acquiesce for small gains.

印尼专制后民主中的冲突管理：资源竞争，权力动态和经纪人

摘要长期以来，关于土地，资源获取和租金的争执一直是印尼地方冲突和中心－周边局势紧张的基础。本文探讨了印度尼西亚的资源冲突管理，特别是廖内省的政治经济。它辩称，在民主化开始之初就发生了中央外围的讨价还价，以将更大比例的石油和天然气租金重新分配给廖内，从而降低了对新兴自由廖内运动的支持。通过在政治私营部门精英利益的狭窄但具有适应性的联盟之间的国家和地方政治解决方案的结合，这些联盟在三个关键部门（石油和天然气，木材和棕榈油）中维持了对资源租金的控制权。随着时间的推移，经纪人在保持这些联盟的影响力方面发挥了作用-帮助将家庭加入行业供应链，然后他们支持统一的政治精英。这在廖内省的政治秩序中产生了相对的稳定，但是却显示出自由主义的宗旨，其中竞争的空间是有限的，而社会利益往往是默许的。
