We look at conflicts, as well as alliances, in nine different settings and discern three basic constellations through which legitimation is sought. (1) national state institutions, (2) regional autonomy opportunities, and (3) extra-legal arrangements We find that the lowest levels of government offer the best chances of success but that security increases with higher levels of ratification. We show that broad alliances present an efficient strategy to gain rights to land and that it is vital for local communities to include government bodies, or capture official law's agency TI - The Space Between: Land Claims and the Law in Indonesia EP - 203 SN - 1568-4849 IS - iss. 2 SP - 187 JF - Asian Journal of Social Science VL - vol. 38 PS - 17 p.
