Abstract

This study aims to find out peasants' response to the Intensified Smallholder Sugar Cane Program (TRI) set up through Presidential Instruction No. 9/1975, which has changed the relations of production in sugar cane cultivation from those in which peasants lease their land to sugar factories to those in which peasants are in control of their own land. The problem that this study attempts to answer is how far the appearance of disguised resistance is a relational response of peasants to the TRI program in the context of mobilization and coercion instead of participation. The other problem to be answered is whether the disguised resistance is a form of individual or communal awareness to defend the security of subsistence as a result of the failure of the bureaucracy to articulate the interests of peasants vis-a-vis those of the government in the TRI program. peasants vis-a-vis those of the government in the TRI program. The study uses theoretical approaches concerning moral economy and everyday forms of peasant resistance as proposed by James C. Scott, combined with theoretical approaches concerning rational choice and political economy as put forward by Samuel Popkin. In addition, it uses theoretical approaches discussing social movements and protest from different experts, based on social class as well as individual factors.
