本文评估了地方政府的扩散与印尼2001年的权力下放。在新秩序下，几十年来一直保持不变，市（科塔）和区（kabupaten）的数量增加了一半，从权力下放前的292个增加到2003年的434个。大部分增长都来自Java以外的地区。这是印度尼西亚国家以下各级行政、政治和财政状况的根本变化。我们提出了一个新的数据集，阐明了这些新的科塔和kabupaten的特点，并审查创建新的司法管辖区的政治，财政和经济激励措施。我们发现，地理分散，政治和种族多样性，自然资源财富和官僚寻租的范围都影响区域分裂的可能性。由于管辖权的变化将影响地方治理和服务的提供，我们强调为地方政府的创建或未来的合并提供有效的制度框架的重要性，作为巩固印度尼西亚权力下放的战略方法的一部分。
This paper evaluates the proliferation of local governments concurrent with Indo-nesia's 2001 decentralisation. Largely static for decades under the New Order, the number of municipalities (kota) and districts (kabupaten) has increased by half, from 292 before decentralisation to 434 in 2003. Most of the increase is off-Java. This represents a fundamental change in Indonesia's subnational administrative, political and fiscal landscape. We present a new dataset that elucidates the characteristics of these new kota and kabupaten, and review political, fiscal and economic incentives for creating new jurisdictions. We find that geographic dispersion, political and ethnic diversity, natural resource wealth and scope for bureaucratic rent seeking all influence the likelihood of regional splits. Since jurisdictional changes will affect local governance and service delivery, we stress the importance of providing an effective institutional framework for the creation – or future amalgamation – of local governments as part of a strategic approach to consolidating Indonesia's decentralisation.
