Abstract

This paper describes a rich natural resource but is not directly proportional to the level of welfare and justice for the masses. The abundant natural resources are only enjoyed by a handful of people who have close relationships with local officials or become for business cronies and economic and political patronage. In the era of decentralization and regional autonomy has provided unlimited opportunities for local officials to create policies or regulations that benefit only the entrepreneurs or other groups. The existing policies and regulations do not have a positive impact on society, so it is not uncommon to generate a sense of injustice and conflict between communities and mining companies—typical drama in the world of the mining industry filled with greed and poor humanitarian values. Therefore, mining and business-politics industries in some areas of South Kalimantan Province become the arena of the collaboration of mutually beneficial elite elites should sacrifice the values of democracy and humanity. The policy, regulation, licensing, and protection of mining entrepreneurs by local officials became the strategy of building a network of business and political cronies that still exist at present, especially at the time of appointment of regional head regency.
