The land conflict in Mesuji, Lampung Province Indonesia is one of the protracted land conflict cases in Indonesia which has been marked by violent conflict dynamics among the actors, including the state, private sector, and civil society. Since Mesuji’s land conflict started in 1999, the predominant situation has been tension, violence, and mass protestsin which problem solving has been thrown away. The state manages the conflict mostly through violence through the police institution. Meanwhile, the civil society, particularly the local community, specifically the indigenous community and farmer groups, unavoidably responds to the state’s conflict management through violent resistance. Therefore, under the circumstance of protracted conflict, the conflicting actors tend to use a contentious strategy. This research examined the question: how is the land conflict in Mesuji Lampung Province protracted by the conflicting actors? The study found that the protracted conflict is linked with contentious strategies, such as violence and repression. Furthermore, this study found that the vested interest of some strategic actors to control the “idle land” has promoted this contentious strategy by the conflicting actors. This strategy has in turn created the protracted land conflict in Mesuji, Lampung Province. This reality is one of the biggest obstacles in transforming land conflict toward a problem solving approach based on democratic values.
