The implementation of regional autonomy within the framework of decentralization is a complex and continuous work . In the early stages of decentralization , there is a transfer of various types of authority from the center to the various institutions , especially institutions subnational governments . After the transfer of authority will then be followed by the transfer of financing , documents and facilities . After the completion stages passed , does not mean the work has been completed . It appears a series of new challenges related to the ability of isntitusi who obtained the transfer of authority to manage it properly . Without good management , decentralization is precisely that for democracy , effectiveness , efficiency and fairness can not be achieved . It would appear the sources of inefficiency , ineffectiveness and new injustices in areas that can be a trigger for a second series of multidimensional crisis

Regional outonomy that is meant as right, authority and obligatory of the district (kabupaten/kota) to regulateand manage their own governance and community’s interests gave pressure impacts to the environmentalsustainability since its implementation in 2001.

East Kalimantan is a province full of paradoxes. This region has considerable economic potential measured in terms of its abundant endowments of natural resources, including oil, natural gas, gold, coal and forestry. Yet, East Kalimantan still lacks infrastructure, has poor human resources and high levels of unemployment, factors that condemn much of the population to a life of poverty and hardship. The new system of regional autonomy, which has been implemented since 2001, was expected to give more benefit to the regions, as regional governments have held relatively more power and fiscal capacity. Law 22/1999, which has been revised twice, has provided more authority to regional governments to manage their respective regions. The introduction of fiscal decentralisation through Law 25/1999, further revised in Law 33/2004, has favoured regions rich in natural resources such as East Kalimantan. As it has abundant natural resources, this region has received greatly increased funds from the central government due to the implementation of sharing revenue formula generated from the exploitation of natural resources. These supposed to give more opportunities for the rich regions such East Kalimantan to accelerate regional development and bring their people to greater prosperity. Nevertheless, East Kalimantan has realized neither the objectives of regional autonomy nor the community aspirations for a more prosperous society. This paper aims to examine the extent to which regional autonomy laws have impacted people's welfare in East Kalimantan.

Mark Peterson's The City-State of Boston is a formidable work of history—prodigiously researched, lucidly written, immense in scope, and yet scrupulously detailed. A meticulous history of New England over more than two centuries, the book argues that Boston and its hinterland emerged as a city-state, a “self-governing republic” that was committed first and foremost to its own regional autonomy (p. 6). Rather than as a British colonial outpost or the birthplace of the American Revolution—the site of a nationalist struggle for independence—the book recovers Boston's long-lost tradition as a “polity in its own right,” a fervently independent hub of Atlantic trade whose true identity placed it in tension with the overtures of both the British Empire and, later, the American nation-state (p. 631).
