Public Opinion Survey in Papua, Indonesia (2002)
In June 2002, the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES) in Indonesia commissioned Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) to carry out an opinion survey in Indonesia’s geographically largest province, Papua. This report outlines the results of the opinion survey that was conducted from September to November 2002. The results are based on 3,450 respondents throughout all 12 kabupaten (districts) in Papua. One portion of the total sample (n=1846) was chosen randomly to represent the total population of Papua in both urban and rural areas. In addition, a quota sample (n=1604) of 8 tribes was selected to gain a more insightful understanding of some of the indigenous people in Papua. The objective of the survey was to gather a broad selection of data to provide to various stakeholders with an interest in Papua and its future developments. Key groups include Papuabased universities and academic institutions, non-government organizations (NGOs), government bodies, and private enterprises who have established or wish to establish a presence in Papua. The survey explored a number of relevant topics including education, health, transportation, economic situation, culture, environmental protection, media penetration and attitudes held by the people of Papua. This is the first time an opinion survey of this magnitude has been carried out in Papua. It is anticipated that this survey will form the benchmark for future research and developmental projects in Papua. It is further hoped that the findings of this important study will create a constructive debate that will help to advance the development of Papua in the best interests of its people.

National Public Opinion Survey in Indonesia (2002)
From 30 March to 22 April, Taylor Nelson Sofres Indonesia, in cooperation with the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES), conducted a national public opinion survey in Indonesia. The field work was conducted in 30 provinces, including Aceh and North Maluku. The 3,580 respondents came from rural and urban areas using a random sample method. The objective of the survey was to inform members of the House of Representatives (DPR) and the People's consultative Assembly (MPR) about the perceptions, hopes and attitudes of the Indonesian people. The survey covered a number of current topics such as the performance of the Indonesian government and national leaders, the popularity of political parties, the electoral law reform process and regional autonomy. In general, this study showed an apparent increase in people's awareness of economic and political issues. Compared to the survey conducted in June 2001, a greater proportion of people were able to provide an answer to most of the questions. In other words, there was a significant decrease in "don't know" and "can't say" responses. What has contributed to this shift is difficult to say and one can only speculate. However, it does highlight that compared to 12 months ago more people hold an opinion on the issues raised in the survey.

Electoral Conflict and Violence: A Strategy for Study and Prevention
An electoral process is an alternative to violence as it is a means of achieving governance. It is when an electoral process is perceived as unfair, unresponsive, or corrupt, that its political legitimacy is compromised and stakeholders are motivated to go outside the established norms to achieve their objectives. Electoral conflict and violence become tactics in political competition. There are examples of elections that have exacerbated long-term conflict (Angola 1992) or have politically hardened conflict-related alliances (Bosnia and Herzegovina 1996). From these experiences, it is generally recognized that post-conflict elections can be held too early and produce results that may extend the conflict rather than resolve it. However, in most cases, such elections mitigate the effects of larger conflict issues and reduce them into localized, manageable incidents...
