The special autonomy status, which is given to Aceh, Papua, Jakarta, and Yogyakarta has not resulted ina better decentralization implementation. Disputable design of special autonomy and lack of capacity of local government have caused significant problemon local democratization, especially in Aceh and Papua. This paper arguesthat local democratization problem existsbecause institutional design of local politics is determined by the central governmentrather than builtas a response to local needs. The political-economy discrimination in Aceh and Papua, for instance, are likely caused by incompatibility between the roleof province as principal point of special autonomy and the direct local-head elections. Meanwhile, democratic label which is attached to province autonomy could not assure political participation and deliberation of local institutions to the lowest level of government. In this case, political decisions are potentially controlled only by a certain group of political elites at the provincial level.
