Abstract
The paper discusses whether effective regulatory states can emerge and function in a manner similar to their counterparts in the Global North. It unpacks the underlying assumptions on which the notion of the regulatory state rests; specifically, the institutional apparatus, capacities, and functional requirements necessary for the operation of effective governance by regulation. In Indonesia, the sector suffers from a legitimacy crisis. Governance of the electricity supply industry has been a messy and tumultuous saga that has hit at the very heart of government and mobilized mass protests and on-going political interest.
