While the relocation is commonly associated with promi ses to alleviate Jakarta’s worsening social and environmental problems and to decentralise development opportunities, it is at the same time criticize d for rather turning away from Jakarta’s problems than solving them w hile causing land conflicts, social inequality and ecological damage in Eas t Kalimantan. A specific criticism that is furthermore often heard in East Kalimantan, is the lack of public consultation and public participation in the policies concerning the new Capital. Although Nusantra, as the new Capi tal has been called, is imagined as a smart, green, high-tech metropolis, e nvironmental organisations express concerns as the construction of the city will require a considerable amount of natural resources and is thus likely to further extractivism in the area. In addition, the energy needs of Nusa ntara are to be covered by hydroelectric power plants in the hinterlands of East Kalimantan, the construction of which is already causing concerns abo ut displacement and loss of land among the population in the upstream areas .\n\nThe aim of this panel is to explore the diverse dynamics emanating fro m Indonesia’s new Capital, to document the ambivalent and diverse discourse s that it gives rise to, to understand the partly contradictory aspirations and expectations that it engenders and to point out its already palpable t angible implications by inviting papers that provide current insights from research on Nusantra through the lens of various disciplines.
