Download or read book Religion Law and Intolerance in Indonesia written by Tim Lindsey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its overwhelmingly Muslim majority, Indonesia has always been seen as exceptional for its diversity and pluralism. In recent years, however, there has been a rise in "majoritarianism", with resurgent Islamist groups pushing hard to impose conservative values on public life – in many cases with considerable success. This has sparked growing fears for the future of basic human rights, and, in particular, the rights of women and sexual and ethnic minority groups. There have, in fact, been more prosecutions of unorthodox religious groups since the fall of Soeharto in 1998 than there were under the three decades of his authoritarian rule. Some Indonesians even feel that the pluralism they thought was constitutionally guaranteed by the national ideology, the Pancasila, is now under threat. This book contains essays exploring these issues by prominent scholars, lawyers and activists from within Indonesia and beyond, offering detailed accounts of the political and legal implications of rising resurgent Islamism in Indonesia. Examining particular cases of intolerance and violence against minorities, it also provides an account of the responses offered by a weak state that now seems too often unwilling to intervene to protect vulnerable minorities against rising religious intolerance.
Download or read book Forest Conservation and Sustainability in Indonesia written by Bernice Maxton-Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite carefully constructed conservation interventions, deforestation in Indonesia is not being stopped. This book identifies why large-scale international forest conservation has failed to reduce deforestation in Indonesia and considers why key stakeholders have not responded as expected to these conservation interventions. The book maps the history of deforestation in Indonesia in the context of global political economy, exploring the relationship between international trade, the interests and ideology behind global sustainability programmes and the failures of forest conservation in Indonesia. Global economic and political ideologies are shown to have profoundly shaped deforestation. The author argues that the same forces continue to prevent positive outcomes. Case study chapters analyse three major international programmes: Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), the Norway-Indonesia bilateral partnership, and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in Indonesia. The findings provide insight into the failures of global climate change policy and suggest how the book’s theoretical model can be used to analyse other complex environmental problems. The book is a useful reference for students of environmental science and policy, political theory, international relations, development and economics. It will also be of interest to forestry professionals and practitioners working in NGOs.
Download or read book ATLANTIS IS REAL FACT INDONESIA HISTORY BEFORE written by Santo Saba and published by Santo Saba Piliang. This book was released on with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KONSTANTA SUMURUPING GENI NUSANTARA The literal meaning of the word "constant" is "constancy", constant or unchanging In mathematics, "constant" or "constant" is a constant value. Constants are used in various scientific disciplines as opposed to arbitrary "variables". The definition of "variable" includes meaning changeable, not fixed, the declaration of something that has a variety of values in the programming language is also called a symbol that represents a certain value, variables known in sub-programs are called local variables, while those that are known in general / intact in one program are called " Global Variables " "History" or real events in the past is "Certain" not "Variable", only the records are affected by the interests of the "Subjective" in power which makes this uncertain and even "Ambiguous", this must be straightened out. Constant is a type of variable whose value cannot be changed. Value initialization is only done once at the beginning, after which it cannot be changed. Some constants are named according to the name of the discoverer. Examples of constants: ● c (speed of light) = 299,792,458 meters per second ● h (Planck's constant) = 6.626 x 10-34 Joule seconds ● G (constant gravity) = 6.6742 x 10-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 ● Hubble constant = 70 (km / s) / Mpc ● π (pi), the constant of the ratio of the circle to the diameter, the value is close to 3.141592653589793238462643 ... E, the value is close to 2.718281828459045235360287 ... ● φ (golden ratio), the value is close to 1.618033988749894848204586 So "Constant" is "Constant" whose value cannot be changed. Value initialization is only done once at the beginning, after which the value cannot be changed, the number of years in recording real events in history is correct in that year not "Variable" If the determination of the number of years in historical recording is "ambiguous" or can be refuted "truth" then it needs to be corrected and revised ... this is what happened to our country's history recording ... The discoveries at the end of the 20th century showed that the "Cosmological Constant" was needed to explain the existence of "Dark energy" The cosmological constant is the density of space energy or vacuum energy that appears in the field equation in General Relativity. This constant was introduced by Einstein in his theory of "General Relativity" so that the universe remains static Einstein then discarded or abandoned the cosmological constant when observations showed that the universe is expanding or moving to expand "This is the biggest mistake in my life" Einstein, who once modified the nature of the general theory of relativity, felt that he had 'corrupted' his own theory.He regretted so much that the addition of the cosmological constant was the biggest mistake of his life. Naturally, as an ordinary human, Eintein is not free from mistakes, here we learn that mistakes are a very human nature, they can happen to anyone, including scientists of Einstein's caliber. Likewise in the calculation of the year in the recording of historical years in the archipelago, "Konstanta" or the determination of the calculation of the historical year on the inscription with the number of "Saka" which has been calculated as "Must" started in 78 AD, is obsolete, must be discarded or not. used again, because it is proven that there are many historical facts that occurred before that year in the archipelago "Mistakes" or in polite language is "Mistakes" can happen to anyone, including scientists of Einstein's caliber, as well as chroniclers in this country ... that the year 78 AD is the year of the "Saka" nation of the ancestors of the Archipelago nation. that year conquered Raja Salivahana in south India It is not the beginning of the Saka year to calculate the number of years in the "Inscription" of this early calculation of the Saka year, causing our history to be lost before the year 78 AD, in fact there is already an advanced civilization in this country, ... and if this is considered "to the Khilafan". .. so when do we want to be considered a "Primitive" nation ...? That means ... If we have found the numbers "Constants" or "Decisions" in the early years of the calculation of the Saka year in the inscriptions, we will find a lot of real facts that the "History of the Archipelago" is more advanced than what is written today ... The "Sumuruping Geni Constant" is the determination of the return of the bright light from the fire that once lit the world, and the source of that fire has ever occurred and originated in this land. "History" naturally rotates towards the point where it was once passed, and that triumph has occurred and will be repeated again with valid provisions or constants ... so now the time has come for the "Sumuruping Geni Constant" to occur again in this archipelago. ... The generation of this nation will understand who their true ancestors were .... that their ancestors were not "Primitive", did not embrace Animism. Dynamics were also the philosophy of their teachings that colored 3/4 of the earth, which underlies the birth and growth of 3 teachings on Indian soil ... ..

Download or read book Resisting Indonesia s Culture of Impunity written by Jess Melvin and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resisting Indonesia’s Culture of Impunity examines the role of Indonesia’s first truth and reconciliation commission—the Aceh Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or KKR Aceh—in investigating and redressing the extensive human rights violations committed during three decades of brutal separatist conflict (1976–2005) in the province of Aceh. The KKR Aceh was founded in late 2016, as a product of the 2005 peace deal between the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). It has since faced many challenges—not least from Indonesia’s security forces and former GAM leaders, who have joined together in their determination to maintain impunity for their respective roles in the conflict. Indeed, the commission would not have been established without the tireless work of civil society actors, including non-government organisations and other humanitarian groups. In Resisting Indonesia’s Culture of Impunity, the editors set out to amplify the role of these civil society actors in the KKR Aceh and in transitional justice in Indonesia. Each chapter has been written by a team of authors, composed predominantly of commissioners and staff from the KKR Aceh itself, members of key civil society organisations, and academics. Further, the editors aim to scrutinise the KKR Aceh from the inside and analyse the establishment and operation of what is perhaps the only genuine state-sponsored attempt to implement transitional justice in Indonesia today.
Download or read book The Politics of Deforestation and REDD in Indonesia written by David Aled Williams and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on Indonesia’s recent experience with REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation), all set within a broader discussion of neoliberal environmentalism, hyper-capitalism, and Indonesian carbon politics. Drawing on the author’s political ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Jakarta, Central Sulawesi, and Oslo, where the author examined Norway’s interests and role in implementing REDD+, this book discusses the long evolution of the idea that foreign state and private financing can be used to protect tropical forests and the carbon stored within them, resulting in both local economic development and global climate benefits. It shows how neoliberal environmental approaches to climate change, of which REDD+ is a leading example, increase the severity of political contestations that must be overcome to reach global climate mitigation goals, and how recent incarnations of REDD+ have tended to forget earlier scholarly advice to couple anti-deforestation approaches with policies that reduce industrial carbon emissions. In Indonesia, tectonic political and economic forces are shown to have negatively impacted REDD+ implementation. Using a political ecology approach, the book links the literature on REDD+ with that covering Indonesia’s recent democratic regression, highlighting how the country’s environmental performance is inextricably linked to the timbre of its political governance. Given the severity of the political contestations that must be overcome to reach its stated goals, REDD+ cannot replace global policies that drastically reduce industrial carbon emissions. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of political ecology, deforestation, climate change, environmental politics, natural resource management, and environmental conservation.
Download or read book A H Nasution and Indonesia s Elites written by Barry Turner and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an account of the military, political and personal life of Abdul Harus Nasution who was a seminal figure in modern Indonesian history in the years prior to his effective sidelining in the 1960s. He was an important commander during Indonesia’s struggle for independence, who rose to become a key leader of the Indonesian armed forces under the first president, Sukarno. Perhaps more significantly, he developed ideas about guerrilla warfare that developed into a sophisticated and socially conservative doctrine for the mobilising of civilian communities. This, in turn, became the underpinning of the repressive, military-backed New Order regime of Indonesia’s second president, Suharto, who ruled from 1966 until 1998, and which Nasution initially supported. Understanding Nasution’s thinking about ‘total people’s resistance’ is therefore very important for understanding the broader trajectory of Indonesian political history. That includes both the New Order and the emerging democratic regime that developed after its collapse. The new political system that called itself ‘the Refom Era’ was, in many ways, a direct reaction to the New Order military's penetration and close control of Indonesian society but it has never dismantled the ‘shadow’ state’ structure of the armed forces that Nasution designed and Suharto perfected. In other words, as this book shows, Nasution’s legacy still looms large today in Jokowi’s Indonesia. This is not the first assessment of Nasution’s life but it differs from earlier works by its investigation of Nasution’s personal life and, in particular, his relationship with the well-off and well-connected Gondokusumo family, of which he became a member by his marriage to Johana Sunarti Gondokusumo. The author’s thorough investigation of Nasution’s relationship with Sunarti and her father offers important new insights into how Nasution’s ideas evolved, as does the translations of important extracts from Nasution’s own voluminous writing included in the text.

Book excerpt: The essays in Border Fetishisms explore the cultural, commercial, political and erotic dimensions that distinguish fetish formations in fractured colonial and postcolonial spaces. Spanning such topics as Surinamese conversion to Christianity to shoplifting in Georgian England, to face the fetish, the contributors neither demagicalize the fetish nor normalize the commodity. Instead, they call for the inclusion of material things -- as fetishes or not -- within the experience of human sufferings and joy. Contributors: Robert J. Foster, Webb Keane, Susan Leg6~ne, Annelies Moors, Peter Pels, William Pietz, Adela Pinch, Patricia Spyer, Peter Stallybrass, Michael Taussig.

Download or read book Revolusi Indonesia and the Birth of the Modern World written by David Van Reybrouck and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize • Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize From the internationally best-selling writer, a masterful account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world. On a sunny Friday morning in August 1945, a handful of people raised a homemade cotton flag and, on behalf of 68 million compatriots, announced the birth of a new nation. With the fourth largest population in the world, inhabiting islands that span an eighth of the globe, Indonesia became the first country to rid itself of colonial rule after World War II. In this vivid history, renowned scholar and celebrated author of Congo David Van Reybrouck captures a period of extraordinary tumult and chaos to tell the story of Indonesia’s momentous revolution, known as the “Revolusi.” Encompassing several hundred years of history, he details the formation of the Dutch East Indies, the Japanese invasion that followed, and the young rebels who engaged in armed resistance once the occupation ended. British and Dutch troops were sent to restore order and keep peace, but instead ignited the first modern war of decolonization. America, too, became embroiled with the Indonesians’ fierce struggle for freedom. That struggle inspired independence movements in Asia, Africa, and the Arab world, especially in the wake of Indonesia’s monumental 1955 Bandung Conference, the first global conference without the West. The whole world had become involved in Revolusi, and the whole world was changed by it. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and eyewitness testimonies, David Van Reybrouck turns this vast and complex story into an utterly gripping narrative, written with remarkable historical clarity and filled with tragedy and passion. A landmark history, Revolusi cements Indonesia’s struggle for independence as one of the defining dramas of the twentieth century and entirely reframes our understanding of post-colonialism.
