ABSTRACT This research discusses on why Indonesia ratifying the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (AATHP). AATHP has been signed by ASEAN’s member states since 2002, but not all of them directly ratify it. Indonesia had not ratified AATHP for more than one decade, because it faced domestic political barriers. The interest of private group becomes the reason of non-ratification policy for many years. In 2014, Indonesia made a contrast change by AATHP ratification policy. It obviously raises a question about the cause of that change. In order to answer the question, liberalism is proposed to be the framework theory to analyze the influence of private sectors and other actors in Indonesia domestic policy on the AATHP ratification. Liberalism considers that AATHP ratification policy is encouraged by the support of domestic politic actors in Indonesia, especially the private group. In the sphere of Indonesian domestic politics, behavioral change of private group and supports of other actors towards the ratification, these both aspects become the background of the emergence of Indonesia AATHP ratification policy. Keywords: Forest and Land Fires, Transboundary Haze Pollution, Domestic Politic, Liberalism, Private Group, Politic of Ratification, International Environmental Agreement.
