This thesis will demonstrate the presumption by the stakeholder analysis and case study. The conclusion is the upper official in their term was peace at the surface but sharp inside. Land and resources cannot be sustainable with the encroachment of the local power. Based on the theory of Olson about vested interest group, the thesis analyzes the destruction of those groups, represented by local power in reality, hurting a country in the long run.
