Abstract

Indonesia is among the many states that have become interested in conducting deep-sea mining (DSM) since it first became viable in the 1970s. However, it was during the administration of President Joko Widodo (2014–2019) that DSM became an important viable endeavour, with the increasing depletion of Indonesia’s mineral and metal reserves. Nevertheless, Indonesia is yet to undertake DSM activity. This article aims to explain the absence of DSM in Indonesia by analysing the political dimensions of the decision-making process during President Widodo’s administration. This research utilises the poliheuristic theory (PHT) of decision-making. It shows that Indonesia’s DSM absence is the result of conscious decisions made by President Widodo to avoid loss in public support and drop in popularity. This article contributes to expanding the study of non-event or non-decision, which has been largely ignored in decision-making literature in Indonesia.

脊髓灰质炎启发式理论与印尼在深海采矿（DSM）中的缺席

自20世纪70年代深海采矿（DSM）首次可行以来，印度尼西亚是众多对其感兴趣的国家之一。然而，正是在佐科·维多多总统执政期间（2014-2019年），随着印尼矿产和金属储量的日益枯竭，需求侧管理成为一项重要的可行努力。然而，印度尼西亚尚未开展需求侧管理活动。本文旨在通过分析维多多总统执政期间决策过程的政治层面来解释印尼缺乏DSM的原因。本研究运用了决策的策略启发式理论。这表明，印尼DSM的缺席是维多多总统为避免失去公众支持和人气下降而做出的有意识的决定的结果。这篇文章有助于扩大对非事件或非决策的研究，这在印尼的决策文献中基本上被忽视了。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs, published by the GIGA Institute of Asian Studies (IAS) in Hamburg, is an internationally refereed journal. The publication focuses on current developments in international relations, politics, economics, society, education, environment and law in Southeast Asia. The topics covered should not only be oriented towards specialists in Southeast Asian affairs, but should also be of relevance to readers with a practical interest in the region. For more than three decades, the Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs (formerly Südostasien aktuell) has regularly provided – six times per year and in German - insightful and in-depth analyses of current issues in political, social and economic life; culture; and development in Southeast Asia. It continues to be devoted to the transfer of scholarly insights to a wider audience and is the leading academic journal devoted exclusively to this region. Interested readers can access the abstracts and tables of contents of earlier issues of the journal via the webpage http://www.giga-hamburg.de/de/publikationen/archiv.
