Indonesia. In Yogyakarta, some coastal areas included in these plans have for decades been
occupied and made cultivable by peasants, in a process of ‘commoning’ in De Angelis’ term
(2003). The peasants consolidated coastal land, distributed it equally amongst them, created their
own irrigation technology and farming techniques with low external input sustainable agriculture,
and created a local auction system as a ‘fair trade market mechanism’. But, as indicated by many
scholars, the processes of producing and managing the commons are always challenged by the
imperative and dynamic of capital to accumulate and find new frontiers.This paper then outlines
how the sand mining project was planned and legitimized, with particular attention to the Sultan
of Yogyakarta’s interlocking roles as provincial governor, feudal king and patron, and
businessman. Finally, this research will also reveal the peasants’ counter-movement against that
land dispossession.
