From the research results obtained that the political process, however, involves a series of events in his story that generated constaints for establishing North MusiRawas as a new autonomous region. The historical facts include leadership contest between Governor of South Sumatera and Regent of MusiRawas, conflict over control of the natural gas resource in Suban 4, Central goverment's moratorium policy to new autonomous region formation, leaership change, and internal conflict within the social movement to demand autonomy among local people. It argued in this paper that absense of political network and lack of organization of social mobility to demand freedom allows the recurring events that created constraints to the political process of estabilishing North MusiRawas as a new regency. The absence of political network to elites in the regional and national levels complicate the political communication to pursue autonomy. It explains why the conflict between Governor and Regent can halt the proposal. Weak organization of social movement allowed internal strife and complicated the resource mobilization to achieve the political goal.
