Abstract

This chapter examines the usability of Kingdon’s (2003) Multiple Stream (MS) model to understand the extent to which major flood events precipitated policy changes in Jakarta, Indonesia. Scholars (Rosenthal and t’Hart, 1998; Johnson et al. 2005; Sultana et al., 2008) have noted that major flood events have the ability to precipitate policy changes. These disasters attract attention (Birkland, 2006) in policy communities because of the severe damages they cause. It may seem obvious that governments formulate policies as a response to a disaster (Tobin, 1997). However, such policies may be created in a rush and tend to “subsidise some poor decisions and penalise some sound proposals” (Wilkins, 2000, p.84). Focusing on the recent four major flood events in Jakarta (1996, 2002, 2007 and 2013), this chapter aims to analyse the extent to which the MS model can explain the policy processes and policy changes in relation to these floods.
