{"product_id":"traditional-communities-in-indonesia-hardback","title":"Traditional Communities in Indonesia - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the ambiguous legal status of traditional–\u003ci\u003eadat\u003c\/i\u003e–communities in Indonesia and their informal, traditional rights to communal–\u003ci\u003eulayat\u003c\/i\u003e–land. It discusses the lack of recognition of \u003ci\u003eadat \u003c\/i\u003ecommunities and their legal rights in the Indonesian constitution, surveys legal consideration of informal legal rights both in Indonesia and elsewhere, and examines how thinking about these issues has evolved over time in Indonesia. It provides an in-depth study of the ways that government policies on \u003ci\u003eadat\u003c\/i\u003e communities are developed, changed and implemented, and how different actors give meaning to these policies, particularly government bodies with authority to manage land and forests, which exercise discretion as to the operational implementation of ideas about \u003ci\u003eadat\u003c\/i\u003e groups as legal persons and \u003ci\u003eulayat\u003c\/i\u003e land rights as land title, thus enabling their exploitation by government and business. The book highlights how these issues are becoming more pressing as problems relating to legal personhood and rights to traditional customary land are increasingly giving rise to violent conflict, dispossession and marginalisation. It also demonstrates how \u003ci\u003eadat \u003c\/i\u003ecommunities\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ecan take action, and are doing so, to protect their legal positions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45547571740910,"sku":"9781032318097","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/traditional-communities-in-indonesia-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
