History of Indonesian literature in 1960s.
On Sunday 26 December 2004, a tsunami of up to 30 metres high hit the northern tip of Sumatera in Indonesia, causing immediate destruction and the deaths of at least 130,000 in Indonesia alone.

This book traces changes in the concept of security in Asia from realist to cooperative, comprehensive, and human security approaches, and assesses a number of policy alternatives to management of both old and new security threats. It surveys not only orthodox security threats such as tensions between regional powers or armed ethnic antagonists but also new sources of anxiety such as resource scarcity, economic instability, irregular migration, community fragmentation, and international terrorism. Security policies of major powers such as China, Japan, and the United States, and the moderating roles of regional organizations such as ASEAN, ARF, SCO, and KEDO are evaluated in historical and contemporary perspectives. Contributors proffer policy-relevant insights where appropriate. The book concludes that traditional security approaches remain valid but need to be adapted to the new challenges, and offers suggestions for incorporating fresh Asian security perceptions into the agendas of policy-makers, analysts, and scholars.

Buku ini mengajak pembaca untuk berhenti di titik tahun 1998, tahun dengan puncak-puncak kekerasan politik yang masif. Tidak semua brutalisme kekerasan politik itu ditampilkan di sini. Buku ini hanya menyoroti secara spesifik pada soal penculikan dan penghilangan paksa aktivis prodemokrasi. Dan, inilah drama itu. Disebut "drama" atau "teater" karena memang demikianlah adanya. Ada peristiwanya, ada tokoh-tokoh utama dan pendukung. Ada alur. Ada pula "hasil akhirnya". Tetapi, jika biasanya drama umumnya dua atau tiga babak, kitab kliping penculikan dan politik kekerasan 1998 ini terbagi dalam lima babak...
The turn of the century and the crossroads of reformasi presents a timely juncture for examining Indonesia's political, economic, and social history—both to evaluate current events and to chart the country's future course. Providing an up-to-date overview, this volume explores events, processes, and themes in contemporary Indonesia—including the evolution of political institutions and democracy, economic development and political economy, religious and social movements, political ideology, and the role of the armed forces. By holding a mirror to historical events, the authors add a rich dimension to our understanding of Indonesia and its problems, free from the exigencies of the present and the prejudices of the past.
