\nAbstract:<\/strong>
\nThis study explains that inclusive growth can be achieved through
\npolitical settlement among interest parties in a democratic Indonesia.
\nAfter the introduction of decentralization policy in 2000, the central
\ngovernment had to devolve some of its authorities to the local
\ngovernment which deteriorated investment climate on the mining sector.
\nBy carefully evaluating the divestment process of PT Newmont Nusa
\nTenggara, a multinational company located in Nusa Tenggara Barat, which
\nhas to sell its share to Indonesian interest, this study describes the
\nprocess of conflict among players to achieve political settlements.<\/p>\n
\nbusinessperson, and local politicians. The political process with which
\npolitical settlement is achieved points out a very promising movement
\ndue to increasing ability of the central government to commit to the
\nenforcement of property right. The ability to make settlements with
\npolitical actors reveals state capacity to provide service to public, in
\nthis case investment climate. It is important to note that central
\ngovernment measure to accommodate interests of local political actors
\nwas the best option available if the central government wants to uphold
\nenforcement over regulation on mining sector.<\/p>\n
