The Indonesian government enacted, Law No. 22/1999 on Regional Government and Law No. 25/1999 on Central-Local Fiscal Balance, and put in place the technical regulations stipulated in Government Regulation No. 129/2000 concerning Establishment and Criteria for Division, Dissolution and Merging of Region. Implemented in 2001, Indonesian decentralization policies were characterized by proliferation (also known as Pemekaran), the rapid creation of new jurisdictions across the various levels of sub-national governments. The implementation of decentralization is not without its problems, as some obstacles appear to follow along with local practices of decentralization. This thesis describes and evaluates the process of proliferation in the case study of East Belitung District. The findings show that as the number of local governments in Indonesia has increased the process at the Central Government level seems relatively easy. The eligibility criteria are being compromised and manipulated, such as finance institutions that are not yet available, and failing to present data of region income.
