Located in the world’s third major tropical forest region,

Indonesia’s thousands of islands contain some of the

earth’s most precious biodiversity and natural re-

sources. It should be no surprise that for most its

history, Indonesia has primarily been a resources

economy. What was sugar, rubber during Dutch

colonial times turned into timber, rice and, more

recently, palm oil and coal. All led to the destruction

of the country’s biological heritage.

Over time, the scale of this destruction grew. As global

demand for resources increased in the 2000s, chieflya reflection of China’s insatiable appetite, Indonesia’s

deforestation worsened. Over the same period, In-

donesia emerged as the world’s leading exporter of coal

and palm oil.

Former President Yudhoyono spoke often about the

environment, and made strong verbal commitments.

Under his administration, though, Indonesia saw its

deforestation rate increase from around 400,000 to

800,000 hectares a year, with some analysts feeling

that even those numbers may be minimizing the true

extent of the destruction. Even the moratorium

announced in 2010, did little to stem the deforestation,

Enter Jokowi, who won in part because voters felthe would be different than the talk-but-not-act

 pol iti cians of Indonesia ’s post-Suharto era. He be-

came popular because, as governor of Solo in Central

Java and, more recently, the capital Jakarta , he got

things done. That was one reason environmentalists

were heartened when Jokowi committed to reviewing

 palm oil plantation licenses and spoke in favour of 

 pro tec ting peat lands – whi ch store huge stocks of 

carbon – while visiting the Riau Province in Sumatra

island, which has already seen 85 percent of its forests

lost since Independence.

24. Which of the following is a synonym of mora-

torium  as used in the passage?

a. A temporary exemption from induction

into military service.

 b. An author ized period of delay or waiti ng.

c. A transfer of proceedings to another place

d. The withholding of what belongs to or is

  claimed by another.

25. Which of the following cannot be inferred from

the passage?

a. Indonesia was under foreign rule in the

 pa st .

 b. China is completely dependent on Indo-nesia for oil and coal.

c . Jokowi i s in favour of preserving the

natural environment.

d. Hardly anybody is in a position to know

the actual extent of deforestation in Indo-

nesia.

26. What i s the tone of the author?

a. sarcastic b. sceptical

c. neutral d. resigned

 Directions for questions 27 to 32: Read the follow-

ing passage carefully and answer the questions that 

 fo llow .

Much recent political commentary has focused on the

dispute between China and the Philippines in the South

China Sea. There is widespread recognition that a

key driver of the dispute is competition over the

region’s natural resources. Despite ongoing legal

arguments, China currently has access to important

natural resources in the Philippines. While interna-

tional actors debate the legal status of Chinese and

Philippine claims, China is continuing to “change the

facts on the ground” in terms of access to resources.It does this through conventional rhetorical pressure

and military means in the South China Sea, and by

other modes of access to resources, including

favourable trade arrangements and poaching. While

attention does obviously need to be paid to legal

developments and conventional military pressure in

the South China Sea, policymakers need to focus also

on how contests over natural resources are currently

unfolding in other contexts.

A conceptual focus on “access,” as opposed to the

narrower view of “property,” is important in under-

standing these natural resource contests. In their 

seminal article on access, Jesse C. Ribot and NancyLee Peluso argue for a broader understanding of how

 people are able to obtain the benefi ts of res ources.

While formal and legitimate property rights are one

mode of access, access in practice can include a far 

wider variety of mechanisms. These are not neces-

sarily always perceived as legitimate, and can include

social processes such as trade relations, social re-

lations, and power.

Oil and gas are the most valuable natural resources

in the South China Sea, and thus the most high-profile.

But fisheries resources constitute an insufficiently

recognized economic and symbolic element of the

dispute between China and the Philippines. Fisheriesresources in this region not only represent current

economic value, but also see fishermen forming the

“human front line” of the dispute between China and

the Philippines. They are used as pawns by govern-

ments in their efforts to legitimize their claims: in the

court of international public opinion, fishermen are

easier to defend than naval boats. They form a

fundamental part of what Robert Haddick influentially

described as China’s “salami-slicing strategy,” whichinvolves “the slow accumulation of small actions, none

of which is a casus belli, but which add up over time

to a major strategic change.”

The dispute between China and the Philippines has

simmered for many years, but has become particularly

intense since July 2012, when a Chinese naval frigate

ran aground at Half-Moon Shoal. This shoal lies 60

nautical miles off the coast of Palawan province, the

westernmost province of the Philippines that faces

the South China Sea. In May 2014, eleven Chinese

fishermen were apprehended at Half-Moon Shoal; nine

of them were eventually sentenced with fines of 

$102,000 in November. In 2013, the Philippines sub-mitted a case to the International Tribunal for the

Law of the Sea (ITLOS). Through this action the

Philippines has adopted a strategy of appealing to

external actors and institutions (such as the U.S. and

international law) in order to try and gain legitimacy

for its claims of property.

China has been blunt and intimidatory in response.

Instead of engaging in debate about the legitimacy

of property claims, China has obtained de facto access

to the fisheries resources of the Philippines. China

employs three important mechanisms to achieve this

access: the conventional assertion of sovereignty

 backed up by mili tary threats in the South China Sea;trade; and poaching.

Throughout recent disputes with the Philippines, China

has refused to engage in debate about the potential

legitimacy of the claims. Instead, it has relied on

repeated assertions of sovereignty within the area

of the nine-dash-line. China labelled the apprehension

of Chinese fishermen in Half-Moon Shoal in 2014 as

a “provocative” and “premeditated” act that “severely

violates China’s sovereignty and maritime rights.”

China has refused to participate in the arbitration

 process launched by the Phil ippines, arguing in a

December 2014 position paper that the goal of the

 process was simply to put pol itical pressure on China.

to protect cows, could force a decline in their

would now become economically unviable for 

farmers.
