One of the aims of this short paper is to sketch human geographicaldimensions of decentralized Indonesia. The paper is structured around a series ofsub-disciplinary issues that arise from processes evident over the past decade. Ineach case, I seek to develop a theme around existing work by geographerspublished in English language internationally-refereed journals. In this way, asecond aim of the paper is to provide (especially for Indonesian geographers whooften do not or cannot access these 'international' journals) a sense of the range ofwork that is considered to constitute 'human geography' in English-speakingacademic worlds. In other words, I suggest pathways for human geographicalresearch in an era of decentralization in Indonesia building upon existingscholarship published in the English language.
