Interest Heterogeneity 
ExplanationMissing in case. We have little evidence of interest divergence or convergence about district governments. It is also unclear if this question refers to the divergence of interests of individual actors within the same district government, or whether this refers to the divergence of interests between different district governments (which, although we have no evidence, we suppose to be fairly high given the overall levels of heterogeneity between different regions of Indonesia).
Costs Of Exit 
ExplanationIt is not clear how to apply the question to this kind of case. I'm not sure what it means for the members of this group to leave? Is it possible for a district government to leave? maybe this needs to be not applicable?
Proportionality (Of Costs And Benefits) 
Explanationmissing in case
Actor Group Coordination 
Explanationinter or intra? Individual district governments engage in both formal and informal coordination, but there appears to be little if any coordination between district governments
Leadership 
ExplanationDoes this refer to inter or intra group? Individual district governments have formal leaders, but there is no leader representing all district governments.
Leadership Accountability 
ExplanationDoes this refer to inter or intra group? Individual district leaders have medium levels of accountability to their district, but no accountability to other districts.
Leadership Authority 
ExplanationDoes this refer to inter or intra group? Individual district leaders have medium levels of authority within their districts. They have no between district authority.

Past CollaborationLow (1)
ExplanationAlthough it is not clear if this refers to Inter or intra group, it doesn't matter, because past levels of collaboration were low, as prior to 1998, district governments were almost entirely unempowered.
Personal Communication 
ExplanationDoes this refer to inter or intra group. Within districts, individuals communicate very frequently (far more than once per year) but between districts, they do not communicate.
Remote Communication 
ExplanationDoes this refer to inter or intra group. Within districts, individuals communicate very frequently (far more than once per year), and some of this communication happens remotely, but between districts, they do not communicate.
