Book The Aceh Separatism Conflict in Indonesia

Download or read book The Aceh Separatism Conflict in Indonesia written by Novri Susan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to analyse the practice of governance to resolve conflict in the case of Aceh in Indonesia. Combining theoretical discourse on conflict, democracy, and governance, it draws from original field research on the separatist conflict, utilizing a social constructivist approach in collating observations and interviews with political elites from both the Government of Indonesia and the Aceh Independent Movement (GAM). The conflict was an intractable one in which thousand civilians were killed between 1976 and 2006. The author zooms into the 2003 and 2007 period, against the broader context of the political landscape of Indonesia under the Suharto regime. In doing so, the book tackles the challenges presented by intrastate conflicts relating to ethno-religiosity, land use, and separatism. It unpacks the Indonesian political system’s shift from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one, and demarcates the prevalence of state violence in managing conflicts, as exemplified in the Aceh separatism conflict. Relevent to political scientists and scholars in peace, conflict and development studies, this co-published book presents novel sociological insights into Indonesia’s historical, and contemporary, political landscape.

Book Understanding the History of the Aceh Conflict

Download or read book Understanding the History of the Aceh Conflict written by SM Amin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first English translation of the original text Atjeh Sepintas Lalu published in 1950 in Bahasa Indonesia by one of Indonesia’s leading lawyers, writers, and political figures, examining the history of the continuously turbulent Aceh. The book describes the legal and political situation in Aceh between 1945 and 1949, considering the events and incidents that related to the government, judiciary, civil servants, and life of the parties at the time. It unpacks the dispute between two major streams of thoughts that cut across the people of Aceh during that era – one based on religious teachings, and the other on secular principles. What followed was the unavoidable emergence of disparate groups, which, in turn, yielded conflict. The author, as a former insider in the Aceh government, was able to uncover the 'inside story' on the ground, in analyzing and discussing this fragment of the history of Aceh. A unique resource, this translation – presented six decades after it was first made available – is still invaluable today, allowing readers to interpret the events that occurred in Aceh at the time in the context of an understanding of Aceh’s development today. This book will be of keen interest to specialists in Islamic law, regionalism, historians of Indonesia, as well as social scientists interested in the early post-independence history of Indonesia.

Book Reconciliation Is the Best Solution for Conflict in Aceh

Download or read book Reconciliation Is the Best Solution for Conflict in Aceh written by Supriyanto Basuki and published by . This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the conflict in Aceh began in the pre-colonial era, during which the Acehnese fought the Dutch for more than three centuries. Conflict has continued for the last three decades between the Indonesian Central Government and the GAM (Free Aceh Movement). The GAM has waged its struggle using conventional and modified guerrilla tactics. The GAM leadership in exile has utilized Central Government and military weaknesses to their advantage, including the collapse of the authoritarian government in 1998 and the independence of East Timor afterward. They have also succeeded in exploiting the populace's grievances to create enemy images of Indonesian colonialism. The Central Government and military responses to conflict in Aceh have not changed much, and the military has always been the primary actor. Though military operations have been able to suppress the rebels, they also have had a negative impact on Acehnese society due to weaknesses within the military, such as unprofessional soldiers and a limited budget. Dialogue between GAM and the Central Government took place in 1999, but ended in failure in 2003, when the Central Government launched an integrated operation. As the rebel movement escalated, military action that led to the integrated operation was necessary and unavoidable to restore the government and law and order. Lessons learned from past rebellions show that military action alone will not be sufficient to win the war in Aceh. Aceh needs comprehensive policies to foster reconciliation and economic and governance rehabilitations. The move toward reconciliation is ending the hostilities between leaders and giving more incentives for rebels in the field to surrender. These ex-rebels need the trust that can be built by being given amnesty or a sentence reduction. Changes also are needed to improve the performance of the military. But reconciliation and societal development will not stop military action as long as the security of Aceh is threatene7

Book The Aceh Peace Process

Download or read book The Aceh Peace Process written by Edward Aspinall and published by East-West Center. This book was released on 2003 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the history and dynamics of Aceh's abortive peace process conducted between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Indonesian government. After surveying the origins and progress of the negotiations, the paper examines the roles played by the main players, the problems encountered along the way, and the achievements that were registered. Currently the peace process has broken down because the two parties have been unable to agree on the fundamental issue dividing them: whether Aceh would become an independent nation or remain an integral part of the Indonesian state. This essay explains the reasons for the failure of the process with the hope that the lessons learned may be of relevance to policymakers, analysts, and others with an interest in the long-term resolution of the Aceh conflict as well as other internal disputes in the region and beyond. It also suggests that the Indonesian government's current resort to a military solution is not only unlikely to resolve the conflict but may ultimately be counterproductive. Eventually a return to negotiations not necessarily with GAM alone will be necessary.

Book Resilience and the Localisation of Trauma in Aceh  Indonesia

Download or read book Resilience and the Localisation of Trauma in Aceh Indonesia written by Catherine Smith and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The globalisation of psychiatry has helped shape the way suffering and recovery is experienced in Aceh, Indonesia, a region with a long history of violent conflict. In this book, Catherine Smith examines the global reach of the contested yet compelling concept of trauma, which has expanded well beyond the bounds of therapeutic practice to become a powerful cultural idiom shaping the ways social actors understand the effects of violence and imagine possible responses to suffering. In Aceh, conflict survivors have incorporated the globalised concept of trauma into local languages, healing practices and political imaginaries. The incorporation of this globalised idiom of distress into the Acehnese medical-moral landscape provides an ethnographic perspective on suffering and recovery, and contributes to contemporary debates about the globalisation of psychiatry and its ongoing expansion outside the domain of medicine.

Book The Free Aceh Movement  GAM

Download or read book The Free Aceh Movement GAM written by Kirsten E. Schulze and published by East-West Center. This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at the Aceh conflict since 1976 and more specifically the insurgent Free Aceh Movement??GAM. It aims to provide a detailed ideological and organizational ?map? of this organization in order to increase the understanding of its history, motivations, and organizational dynamics. Consequently this paper analyzes GAM?s ideology, aims, internal structure, recruitment, financing, weapons procurement, and its military capacity. The focus of this study is on the recent past, as the fall of Suharto not only allowed the Indonesia government to explore avenues other than force to resolve the Aceh conflict, but also provided GAM with the opportunity to make some changes to its strategy and to transform itself into a genuinely popular movement. It will be argued here that the key to understanding GAM in the post-Suharto era and the movement?s decisions, maneuvers and statements during the three years of intermittent dialogue can be found in the exiled leadership?s strategy of internationalization. This strategy shows that for GAM the negotiations, above all, were not a way to find common ground with Jakarta but a means to compel the international community to pressure the Indonesian government into ceding independence.This is the second publication in Policy Studies, a peer-reviewed East-West Center Washington series that presents scholarly analysis of key contemporary domestic and international political, economic, and strategic issues affecting Asia in a policy relevant manner.

Book The Promise of Reconciliation

Download or read book The Promise of Reconciliation written by Chaiwat Satha-Anand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Promise of Reconciliation? explores the relationship between violence, nonviolence, and reconciliation in societal conflicts with questions such as: In what ways does violence impact the reconciliation process that necessarily follows a cessation of deadly conflict? Would an understanding of how conflict has been engaged, with violence or nonviolence, be conducive to how it could be prevented from sliding further into violence?The contributors examine international influences on the peace/reconciliation process in Indonesia's Aceh conflict, as well as the role of Muslim religious scholars in promoting peace. They also examine the effect of violence in southern Thailand, where insurgent violence has provided "leverage" during the fighting, but negatively affects post-conflict objectives. The chapter on Sri Lanka shows that "successful" violence does not necessarily end conflict?Sri Lankan society today is more polarized than it was before its civil war. The Vietnam chapter argues that the rise of nonviolent protest in Vietnam reflects a profound loss of state legitimacy, which cannot be resolved with force, while another chapter on Thailand examines "Red Sunday," a Thai political movement engaged in nonviolent protest in the face of violent government suppression. The book ends with a look at Indonesian cities, sites of ethnic conflicts, as potential abodes of peace if violence can be curtailed.
