Abstract

The prolonged conflict in Papua is driven by various factors, including the controversial history of integration, ineffective government policies, and socio-economic disparities. This study aims to analyze the failure of conflict management by the Indonesian government in addressing separatist movements and improving the well-being of the Papuan people. Using a qualitative secondary research method based on literature studies, the findings indicate that the Special Autonomy (Otsus) policy has been ineffective due to corruption, unequal distribution of funds, and the lack of local community participation. Additionally, the government’s militaristic approach has exacerbated the situation by increasing human rights violations and deepening public distrust toward the central government. Furthermore, the exploitation of natural resources, which largely benefits external entities rather than the local population, has intensified economic and social inequalities. To achieve a long-term resolution, a more humane, inclusive, and socially just conflict management strategy is urgently needed.
