Abstract
This thesis examines how the Indonesian new developmental state manages village governance and addresses marginality issues in its effort to institutionalize a participatory approach in the village bureaucracy. It pays attention to the way the new developmental ideology has shaped participatory governance policy as an instrument of village development instead of deepening democracy. Utilizing qualitative data and a longitudinal monitoring study, this thesis argues that the new policy of participatory village governance has a narrow focus on village economy and infrastructure and ignores other issues, such as deepening village democracy and empowering the marginal citizen.
