Indonesia is a rare example of a multi-ethnic state that has well-managed most conflicts between ethnic groups and between them and the central government in the first decades of the 21st century, despite being threatened with territorial disintegration at the turn of the century. Following the fall of General Suharto’s authoritarian rule in 1998, changes in the territorial structure, decentralization, and their corrections became one of the main tools for conflict management in Indonesia. The article aims to explain specific centripetal mechanisms of conflict management through territorial structure transformation, decentralization, and its corrections and to demonstrate the effects of implementing these mechanisms.
