Abstract
Armed separatist movement and terrorism are showing further growth in Indonesian provinces Papua and West Papua at the western part of New Guinea island. The source of the movement as acknowledged by several Indonesian experts and politicians аre the disbalance in the economic, social and cultural development, marginalization of the region of the region compared with other provinces, which is aggravated by ethnic, confessional and racial differences. Besides military suppression of the armed terrorists, the Indonesian government takes measures to overcome the conflict situation, including “The Act on Special Autonomy for Papua and West Papua” providing several economic, financial and social privileges for native population. But some politicians and experts argue that these measures are not sufficiently politically and psychologically oriented to overcome the heavy heritage of the last decades.
