Historically, the state has established patrimonial ties with relatively homogenous local elites, and used them to make rural life accessible and identifiable for the center. While rural life was reorganized chiefly in functional and territorial terms, the patrimonial ties were preserved as the primary means of extracting communal resources in the process of state formation. Hence, the political structure was in many ways characterized by dualism which perpetuated ambiguous boundaries between state actors and social forces at the expense of the population. The same logic of state formation can be observed in the current neoliberal efforts at democratic decentralization in developing countries. For the sake of bureaucratic efficiency and political stability, donors, international aid agencies, and local governments alike transfer power and resources to local institutions---private bodies, customary authorities, and civil society organizations. In so doing, however, they reinforce the self-perpetuating structure of dualism put in place in the political structure during the intensification of state formation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Drawing on history and ethnography in the Priangan highland of West Java, Indonesia, this article aims to show how the implementation of democratic decentralization conveniently perches over the preexisting structure of institutions and ideas, thereby undermining rather than promoting government accountability and popular participation.
