Book excerpt: Indonesia enters the new millennium at a time of transition. It has experienced several crises - in particular the economic crisis of 1997-98, a severe intensification of its environmental degradation, and more recently the East Timor crisis, the ongoing Aceh demand for independence, the change of government from the autocratic Soeharto regime to one democratically elected and under the leadership of President Abdurrahman Wahid, and the outbreak of a number of violent communal conflicts. These crises were separate but have interlinked social and political dynamics. This major volume is the first wide-ranging analysis of recent developments. It analyses the social and political dimensions of reformation: poverty and income, environment and livelihood, civil society and legal institutions, and Islam and politics. Contributors include Indonesian and Australian scholars from a range of social science disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers and Democracy is a study of worker activism and labor unions in the eight years between the recognition of Indonesian sovereignty by the Netherlands at the end of December 1949 and the nationalization of Dutch assets in December 1957. It contributes to a re-evaluation of the era of liberal parliamentary democracy in Indonesia. The focus is on the agency of workers and the structures, strategies and industrial campaigns of unions in the context of intense ideological conflict, competing union federations, the opposition of employers to collective action, and the efforts by the Indonesian state to manage industrial conflict. The imposition of martial law in March 1957 was the deathblow to parliamentary democracy and to the freedom of workers and unions to engage in collective action. It was not until Suharto’s ‘New Order’ regime collapsed in 1998 that Indonesian workers regained the freedom of association and the right to engage in collective action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By any indicator, Indonesia, the fourth most populous nation on earth, is a development success story. Yet 20 years after a deep economic and political crisis, it is still in some respects an economy in transition. The country recovered from the 1997–98 crisis and navigated the path from authoritarian to democratic rule surprisingly quickly and smoothly. It survived the 2008–09 global financial crisis and the end of the China-driven commodity super boom in 2014 with little difficulty. It is now embarking on its fifth round of credible national elections in the democratic era. It is in the process of graduating to the upper middle-income ranks. But, as the 25 contributors to this comprehensive and compelling volume document, Indonesia also faces many daunting challenges — how to achieve faster economic growth along with more attention to environment sustainability, how to achieve more equitable development outcomes, how to develop and nurture stronger institutional foundations, and much else. “This is a timely and much-needed book. There are very few recent books on Indonesia with such a comprehensive analysis of not just mainstream economic policies, but also most importantly the key issues of human capital, inequality, social welfare, labour, food security and natural resource management. This book will not only be crucial for policy discourse but for all stakeholders who care about Indonesia making the transition not only to a high-income economy, but an inclusive one.” — Mari Pangestu, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia “The Indonesian Economy in Transition: Policy Challenges in the Jokowi Era and Beyond is one of the most important books that discusses the Indonesian economy post–Asian Financial Crisis. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand contemporary Indonesian economy.” — M. Chatib Basri, former Minister of Finance of Indonesia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two decades after Indonesia's transition to democracy, its labor movement has emerged as a vibrant and influential political actor. Labor and Politics in Indonesia provides the first in-depth analysis of this development, investigating how a structurally weak labor movement carved out a strategic foothold in a country with no recent history of union engagement in politics. Caraway and Ford show how Indonesia's labor movement achieved many of its goals first through the disruptive power of contentious politics and later by combining street and electoral politics. Labor and Politics in Indonesia challenges the dominant theoretical approaches in the study of Indonesian politics, demonstrating how this movement became an active, and surprisingly effective, participant in Indonesia's democracy. Caraway and Ford break new theoretical ground in their analysis of how legacies of authoritarianism, the post-transition political opportunity structure, and the tactical creativity of Indonesia's unions combined to propel Indonesia's labor movement to success.

Abstract: Abstractofthesisentitled "WomenInTransition: IndonesianDomesticWorkersinHongKong" Submittedby SIMSockChinAmy ForthedegreeofDoctorofPhilosophy attheUniversityofHongKong inJuly2007 This thesis is about the phenomenon of Indonesian women's labour migration to Hong Kong as domestic workers, their experiences and responses to unfamiliar situations, in three main areas outside of work, that shape their ideas of their values, roles, identities, expectations and life trajectories. These include their participation in labourpoliticsandsocialmovementsinHongKong;theirchoicesregardingtheirsexual behavior and sexuality; and their responses to impediments present in the labour import/exportsystembybecomingillegalmigrants.ItexploresIndonesianwomen'slived experiences instatesof 'dislocation', shows how themigratoryexperience affectsthem asindividualsandculturalbeingsinthecontextofmoderndayprocessesofmigration.In the process, it elicits the articulation of migrant women's experiences with prevailing ideologiesinIndonesia, whichincludestheirconstructionsofwomen, genderroles, and relationstothefamily, marketandthestate.

For Indonesian women migrant workers who become romantically or sexually involved, their experiences during migration are not without conflict, vacillating between the expectations of normative behaviourinIndonesiaandtherealitiesofmigrantlife.Theirexperiencesinthisareaof social life provide a kaleidoscope of strategies that fulfill their needs for love and intimacy. Young and ill-prepared, some fall prey to male sexual predation, some are coerced, some become pregnant and single mothers, and others become illegal overstayers who face arrest, imprisonment and deportation. Some choose same sex relationships to protect themselves from the dangers of becoming 'fallen' women, upholding the cultural norms and expectations that are important at home in Indonesia.

This thesis also examines the factors that lead to their decisions to become illegal migrants and why, when they do decideto, surrendertotheauthorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activists in Transition examines the relationship between social movements and democratization in Indonesia. Collectively, progressive social movements have played a critical role over in ensuring that different groups of citizens can engage directly in—and benefit from—the political process in a way that was not possible under authoritarianism. However, their individual roles have been different, with some playing a decisive role in the destabilization of the regime and others serving as bell-weathers of the advancement, or otherwise, of Indonesia's democracy in the decades since. Equally important, democratization has affected social movements differently depending on the form taken by each movement during the New Order period. The book assesses the contribution that nine progressive social movements have made to the democratization of Indonesia since the late 1980s, and how, in turn, each of those movements has been influenced by democratization.
