Network Governance Strategies in Agrarian Conflict Resolution: A Systematic Literature Review
Keywords:
agrarian conflict, conflict resolution, network governance, network management, systematic literatureAbstract
Agrarian conflict is a complex issue that frequently occurs in various countries, including Indonesia. One approach that can be used to resolve agrarian conflicts is the strategy of network governance, which involves multiple stakeholders in a collaborative decision-making process. This article aims to systematically review the literature on the application of network governance strategies in resolving agrarian conflicts. The research method used is a systematic literature review, identifying and analyzing previous studies related to this topic. The review results indicate that network governance can enhance the effectiveness of agrarian conflict resolution by facilitating better communication among stakeholders, increasing transparency in decision-making processes, and strengthening accountability among involved parties. Moreover, this strategy also allows for innovations in seeking more sustainable and equitable solutions for all parties. However, the implementation of network governance faces challenges such as differing interests and power among stakeholders and resource limitations. Therefore, a clear framework and policy support are necessary to optimize the application of this strategy. This research contributes to the literature by providing a deeper understanding of the role of network governance in resolving agrarian conflicts and its implications for policies and practices in the field.
