Overview

Qualitative case study reveals the complex dynamics of nickel downstreaming in Indonesia, highlighting socio-environmental issues and alliances.

Key Points

  • Downstreaming policy has fostered a powerful alliance among the government, PT IMIP, and foreign investors.
  • The alliance has driven rapid industrialization and increased processed nickel exports significantly.
  • Negative externalities include socio-environmental degradation and inequitable economic benefits distribution.
  • The policy's sustainability is challenged by dependency on foreign capital and conflicts with local communities.
