Abstract

For many years, the Land of Papua has experienced bloody battles as separatist parties fought for independence from the Indonesian government. Understanding how relative hardship contributes to complaints and drives violent action is one of the critical obstacles to resolving these disputes. Indigenous people in Papua have long felt exploited and marginalized by the national government and international businesses that take resources out of the area. Compared to others in a social group or society, the sense of unfair disadvantage is called relative deprivation. This feeling of relative deprivation has fostered demands for independence and violent confrontations with security forces. In order to analyze a specific phenomenon, this research study employs a qualitative methodology that includes a thorough literature review of reliable papers. The result of this study is that the Papuan people experience relative deprivation because they have lost what previously belonged to them, such as land and resource rights, political representation, cultural identity, human rights, and fair social services. This sense of loss has caused deprivation in the Papuan people. At the same time, this deprivation fosters a separatist spirit channelled through acts of violence that cause casualties. The central government's lack of concern exacerbates the relative deprivation conditions of the Papuan people. Thus, the people of Papua are increasingly marginalized by the central government.

巴布亚冲突解决的挑战:相对剥夺与土著巴布亚人分离主义精神的联系
多年来,随着分离主义政党争取从印尼政府独立,巴布亚土地经历了血腥的战斗。了解相对困难如何导致抱怨和推动暴力行动,是解决这些争端的关键障碍之一。长期以来,巴布亚的土著居民一直感到受到国家政府和国际企业的剥削和边缘化,这些企业从该地区抢走了资源。与一个社会群体或社会中的其他人相比,这种不公平的劣势感被称为相对剥夺。这种相对匮乏的感觉助长了对独立的要求和与安全部队的暴力对抗。为了分析一个具体的现象,本研究采用了一种定性的方法,包括对可靠的论文进行全面的文献回顾。这项研究的结果是,巴布亚人民经历了相对的剥夺,因为他们失去了以前属于他们的东西,如土地和资源权利、政治代表权、文化认同、人权和公平的社会服务。这种失落感造成了巴布亚人民的匮乏。与此同时,这种剥夺助长了一种分裂主义精神,这种分裂主义精神通过造成伤亡的暴力行为来传播。中央政府的漠不关心加剧了巴布亚人民的相对贫困状况。因此,巴布亚人民越来越被中央政府边缘化。
