PhD Research 5: Eusebius Pramudya
Strategies of Indonesian state actors in governance of sustainable palm oil.
Eusebius Pramudya will study the strategies of Indonesian state actors in the governance of sustainable palm oil. Despite the emergence of private sector initiatives, such as RSPO, the role of national governments in governing global palm oil supply chains should not be ignored. This particularly concerns the Indonesian government which prepares a national Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) standard. Eusebius will study this process within the broader perspective of network governance and the changing role of the state when governing sustainability of palm oil.
