Located in the world’s third major tropical forest region,
Indonesia’s thousands of islands contain some of the
earth’s most precious biodiversity and natural re-
sources. It should be no surprise that for most its
history, Indonesia has primarily been a resources
economy. What was sugar, rubber during Dutch
colonial times turned into timber, rice and, more
recently, palm oil and coal. All led to the destruction

of the country’s biological heritage.
Over time, the scale of this destruction grew. As global
demand for resources increased in the 2000s, chieflya reflection of China’s insatiable appetite, Indonesia’s
deforestation worsened. Over the same period, In-
donesia emerged as the world’s leading exporter of coal
and palm oil.
Former President Yudhoyono spoke often about the
environment, and made strong verbal commitments.
Under his administration, though, Indonesia saw its
deforestation rate increase from around 400,000 to
800,000 hectares a year, with some analysts feeling
that even those numbers may be minimizing the true
extent of the destruction. Even the moratorium
announced in 2010, did little to stem the deforestation,
Enter Jokowi, who won in part because voters felthe would be different than the talk-but-not-act
pol iti cians of Indonesia ’s post-Suharto era. He be-
came popular because, as governor of Solo in Central
Java and, more recently, the capital Jakarta , he got
things done. That was one reason environmentalists
were heartened when Jokowi committed to reviewing
palm oil plantation licenses and spoke in favour of
pro tec ting peat lands – whi ch store huge stocks of
carbon – while visiting the Riau Province in Sumatra
island, which has already seen 85 percent of its forests
lost since Independence.
24. Which of the following is a synonym of mora-
torium as used in the passage?
a. A temporary exemption from induction
into military service.
b. An author ized period of delay or waiti ng.
c. A transfer of proceedings to another place
d. The withholding of what belongs to or is

25. Which of the following cannot be inferred from
the passage?
a. Indonesia was under foreign rule in the
pa st .
b. China is completely dependent on Indo-nesia for oil and coal.
c . Jokowi i s in favour of preserving the
natural environment.
d. Hardly anybody is in a position to know
the actual extent of deforestation in Indo-
nesia.
26. What i s the tone of the author?
a. sarcastic b. sceptical
c. neutral d. resigned
Directions for questions 27 to 32: Read the follow-
ing passage carefully and answer the questions that
fo llow .
Much recent political commentary has focused on the
dispute between China and the Philippines in the South
China Sea. There is widespread recognition that a
key driver of the dispute is competition over the
region’s natural resources. Despite ongoing legal
arguments, China currently has access to important
natural resources in the Philippines. While interna-
tional actors debate the legal status of Chinese and
Philippine claims, China is continuing to “change the
facts on the ground” in terms of access to resources.It does this through conventional rhetorical pressure
and military means in the South China Sea, and by
other modes of access to resources, including
favourable trade arrangements and poaching. While
attention does obviously need to be paid to legal
developments and conventional military pressure in
the South China Sea, policymakers need to focus also
on how contests over natural resources are currently
unfolding in other contexts.
A conceptual focus on “access,” as opposed to the
narrower view of “property,” is important in under-
standing these natural resource contests. In their
seminal article on access, Jesse C. Ribot and NancyLee Peluso argue for a broader understanding of how
people are able to obtain the benefi ts of res ources.
While formal and legitimate property rights are one
mode of access, access in practice can include a far
wider variety of mechanisms. These are not neces-
sarily always perceived as legitimate, and can include
social processes such as trade relations, social re-
lations, and power.
Oil and gas are the most valuable natural resources
in the South China Sea, and thus the most high-profile.
But fisheries resources constitute an insufficiently
recognized economic and symbolic element of the
dispute between China and the Philippines. Fisheriesresources in this region not only represent current
economic value, but also see fishermen forming the
“human front line” of the dispute between China and
the Philippines. They are used as pawns by govern-
ments in their efforts to legitimize their claims: in the

SimSNAP

court of international public opinion, fishermen are
easier to defend than naval boats. They form a
fundamental part of what Robert Haddick influentially
described as China’s “salami-slicing strategy,” whichinvolves “the slow accumulation of small actions, none
of which is a casus belli, but which add up over time
to a major strategic change.”
The dispute between China and the Philippines has
simmered for many years, but has become particularly
intense since July 2012, when a Chinese naval frigate
ran aground at Half-Moon Shoal. This shoal lies 60
nautical miles off the coast of Palawan province, the
westernmost province of the Philippines that faces
the South China Sea. In May 2014, eleven Chinese
fishermen were apprehended at Half-Moon Shoal; nine
of them were eventually sentenced with fines of
$102,000 in November. In 2013, the Philippines sub-mitted a case to the International Tribunal for the
Law of the Sea (ITLOS). Through this action the
Philippines has adopted a strategy of appealing to
external actors and institutions (such as the U.S. and
international law) in order to try and gain legitimacy
for its claims of property.
China has been blunt and intimidatory in response.
Instead of engaging in debate about the legitimacy
of property claims, China has obtained de facto access
to the fisheries resources of the Philippines. China
employs three important mechanisms to achieve this
access: the conventional assertion of sovereignty
backed up by mili tary threats in the South China Sea;trade; and poaching.
Throughout recent disputes with the Philippines, China
has refused to engage in debate about the potential
legitimacy of the claims. Instead, it has relied on
repeated assertions of sovereignty within the area
of the nine-dash-line. China labelled the apprehension
of Chinese fishermen in Half-Moon Shoal in 2014 as
a “provocative” and “premeditated” act that “severely
violates China’s sovereignty and maritime rights.”
China has refused to participate in the arbitration
process launched by the Phil ippines, arguing in a
December 2014 position paper that the goal of the
process was simply to put pol itical pressure on China.

43. Maharashtra has banned the production or pos-
session of beef. So, the law, enacted ostensibly
to protect cows, could force a decline in their
popu lation, a trend visible in states that have
banned the slaughter of bull s and bullocks. A
direct outcome of the act is that rearing cows
would now become economically unviable for
farmers.

argument?
