Abstract
(type = abstract)
The global climate change mitigation initiative, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus (REDD+), has been seen as a new form of environmental rule to govern human-forest relationships. Through analyzing a case study of the Ulu Masen REDD+ project in Aceh, Indonesia, this dissertation examines how REDD+ has been translated into policies and practices, and examines the dynamic process of policy interpretation, negotiation, and even contestation in a particular area. The dissertation addresses five goals: first, examining the extent to which the neoliberalization of nature has been articulated in REDD+ and how REDD+ outcomes have been affected by Indonesia’s social and political landscape; second, investigating governmental rationalities, technologies, and practices through REDD+, and how these emerging forms and techniques could (or could not) engender new environmental subjects; third, analyzing the translation of several elements in REDD+ into project practices; fourth, elucidating how the narratives of conservation and development have been played out in project development and implementation; and finally, examining the significance of local agency in shaping the global REDD+ agenda, and the extent to which it provides an arena to negotiate and contest claims to forest resources at the local level. This dissertation research seeks to provide new insights that reveal a more nuanced understanding of the early impacts of the REDD+ initiative, hence providing theoretical contributions to the burgeoning field of political ecology, particularly in the area of critical climate change studies. To guide the research inquiries, multiple methods have been employed including a household survey, focus group discussions, participant observation, semi-structured and in-depth interviews, and archival research.
