If NGOs are to change from 'development' to 'movement' in democratic post-Suharto Indonesia, they must adjust not only their management and working style, but also their very ideology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-governmental organisations have proved crucial to political and social development in developing countries and perhaps none more so than Indonesia, Southeast Asia's biggest country. This book deals with two major issues: how Indonesian NGOs survived under Suharto's authoritarian rule and how NGOs contributed to the promotion of democracy in the post-Suharto era. NGOs are often perceived as the cornerstones of vibrant civil society, providing voices for the disenfranchised and creating centres of influence outside the state. Yet through an analysis of primary material, Bob S. Hadiwinta's study argues that NGOs must adjust their activities in accordance with local social and political conditions and that NGOs are sometimes at odds with the local communities they purport to represent. If NGOs are to change from development to movement in democratic post-Suharto Indonesia, they must adjust not only their management and working style, but also their very ideology. This comprehensive study is suitable for scholars interested in Asian studies, Indonesian politics and development studies.

Download or read book NGO Accountability written by Lisa Jordan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the fastest growing segment of civil society, as well as featuring prominently in the global political arena, NGOs are under fire for being 'unaccountable'. But who do NGOs actually represent? Who should they be accountable to and how? This book provides the first comprehensive examination of the issues and politics of NGO accountability across all sectors and internationally. It offers an assessment of the key technical tools available including legal accountability, certification and donor-based accountability regimes, and questions whether these are appropriate and viable options or attempts to 'roll-back' NGOs to a more one-dimensional function as organizers of national and global charity. Input and case studies are provided from NGOs such as ActionAid, and from every part of the globe including China, Indonesia and Uganda. In the spirit of moving towards greater accountability the book looks in detail at innovations that have developed from within NGOs and offers new approaches and flexible frameworks that enable accountability to become a reality for all parties worldwide.

Download or read book Indonesia s Civil Society in the Age of Democratization written by Sylvia Yazid and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the work of two Indonesian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) concerned with Indonesian women migrant workers working in the informal sector. It concentrates on examining the NGOs' efforts to influence policies on labor migration in the changing context of Indonesias Reformasi Era, a period dominated by democratization and globalization processes. The book argues that the NGOs can actually negotiate and expand their political space. It illustrates how changes in the policy context and within state institutions, more accommodative attitudes from key stakeholders, and the NGOs' own efforts to adapt to the changes around them have given them a wider political space to conduct their activism. This book intends to contribute to the existing body of literature on labor migration by studying the activism of NGOs concerned with the issue of women migrant workers in influencing the labor migration policies in Indonesia as a sending country.

Download or read book The Internet in Indonesia s New Democracy written by David T. Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet in Indonesia’s New Democracy is a detailed study of legal, economic, political and cultural practices surrounding the provision and consumption of the Internet in Indonesia at the turn of the twenty-first century. Hill and Sen detail the emergence of the Internet into Indonesia in the mid-1990s, and cover its growth through the dramatic economic and political crises of 1997 and the subsequent transition to democracy. Conceptually the Internet is seen as a global phenomenon, with global implications, however this book develops a way of thinking about the Internet within the limits of geo-political categories of nations and provinces. The political turmoil in Indonesia provides a unique context in which to understand the specific local and national consequences of a global, universal technology.
Download or read book The Influence of Domestic NGOs on Dutch Human Rights Policy written by Esther van den Berg and published by Intersentia nv. This book was released on 2001 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, the Netherlands has seen a steady growth of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) devoted to the cause of human rights. In the ensuing decades they proliferated and expanded their leverage. At the same time, human rights attained a more secure position on the foreign policy agenda of the Dutch government. Against this background the question arises, to what extent foreign policy-making in the field of human rights is determined by the activities of NGOs. The present study focuses on the efforts of domestic NGOs to have an impact on Dutch human rights policy towards South Africa, Namibia, Indonesia and East Timor from the late 1970s until the early 1990s. It appraises whether NGOs have been able to influence Dutch human rights policy towards these countries. Furthermore, it clarifies which factors contributed to and detracted from the influence of these groups. The characteristics of NGOs are taken into consideration, along with the strategies applied and the interaction between NGOs, as well as factors regarding the political environment. Conclusions about NGO-influence and contributive and detracting factors are reached on the basis of five case studies. These concern the efforts of NGOs (1) to press the government to implement a boycott of South African coal (1979-1990); (2) to promote an active policy against the application of capital punishment in South Africa under apartheid (1978-1993); (3) to end the enrichment of Namibian uranium in the Netherlands (1977-1989); (4) to promote an active policy against the execution of political prisoners in Indonesia (1979- 1995); and finally, (5) to promote an active policy in reaction to the Santa Cruz massacre in East Timor (1991-1995).
