Abstract

The Special Economic Zone policy in Indonesia is carried out to accelerate the growth and development of regional economies by establishing new economic growth centers to attract investment. However, of the 19 SEZs built, only 4 have successfully operated, while the other 15 SEZs have yet to operate optimally. The Sorong SEZ is one SEZ that has yet to run optimally or is not even operating. This paper uses a descriptive analysis approach to explore the problems and obstacles faced by the Sorong SEZ. The results of the study indicate that in addition to the characteristics of the problem, policy content, resources, bureaucratic structure, disposition, communication, and environmental conditions, there are cultural conditions that also significantly influence the process of implementing the SEZ policy in Sorong.
