Voices From the Regions: A Participatory Assessment of the New Decentralization Laws in Indonesia

---

The book Voices from the Regions: A Participatory Assessment of the New Decentralization Laws in Indonesia presents a comprehensive evaluation of Indonesia’s post-reform decentralization policies through a participatory research approach. It captures the perspectives and experiences of local governments, civil society groups, and community members in implementing the new autonomy laws. The study analyzes how decentralization has affected governance, public service delivery, local accountability, and citizen participation across various regions. By combining qualitative field data and institutional analysis, the book highlights both the achievements and challenges of Indonesia’s decentralization process—such as uneven capacity among local administrations, persistence of corruption, and the tension between local autonomy and national coherence. Emphasizing local voices, it provides grounded insights into how decentralization reshapes power relations, development priorities, and democratic practices at the regional level. This work is an essential reference for policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners interested in governance reform and participatory democracy in Indonesia.
