Motivated by on-the-ground experiences during Indonesia's period of political turmoil in the early 2000s following the collapse of the Suharto regime, this book systematically explains the structure of the Suharto regime while revealing its political dynamism. The primary goal is to account for the transformations that Suharto's personal rule underwent during 30 years in power and explain its end. The book focuses on the 'personal rule system' that Suharto employed, analyzing its transition and collapse in a groundbreaking thesis that draws on archival materials from major political institutions, as well as interviews with some of the key political protagonists. The concept 'co-opting type personal rule' is proposed to address the following questions: What concept can best capture the Suharto regime and the diverse array of personal rule systems and better explain the characteristics of each type? How can we analyze personal rule regimes that end in relatively peaceful transitions rather than revolution or violent coup? Thesis.

Indonesia is the home of the largest single Muslim community of the world. Its Christian community, about 10% of the population, has until now received no overall description in English. Through cooperation of 26 Indonesian and European scholars, Protestants and Catholics, a broad and balanced picture is given of its 24 million Christians. This book sketches the growth of Christianity during the Portuguese period (1511-1605), it presents a fair account of developments under the Dutch colonial administration (1605-1942) and is more elaborate for the period of the Indonesian Republic (since 1945). It emphasizes the regional differences in this huge country, because most Christians live outside the main island of Java. Muslim-Christian relations, as well as the tensions between foreign missionaries and local theology, receive special attention.
The book presents a novel analytical perspective on Indonesia’s security policies during its transition to democracy. Kurniawan's analysis revolves around extraordinary measures and normal politics in response to the existential threat to the Indonesian state. This perspective is at the centre of the analysis which examines the process of securitization and desecuritization taken by the Indonesian government. This volume is essential reading for practitioners, students of Indonesian politics and researchers alike.
This important book is set to be a key document for those interested in Indonesia's recent economic and political history. There have been many unanswered questions about exactly how the regional currency crisis snowballed into a full-scale banking crisis in Indonesia, coupled with a total loss of credibility within a short time. This record by the official in the midst of the banking crisis, the ex governor of Bank Indonesia, gives a fuller and intriguing picture of the events, including the actions of President Soeharto, as well as a balanced account of the much criticised interventions by the International Monetary Fund. The author also analyses the lessons for monetary policy to avoid future such crisis. This is essential reading for economists and Indonesia watchers.
Andai saja harapan-harapan yang ada pada hati Rasulullah waktu itu boleh diperumpamakan, maka perumpamaan dalam bentuk kata-kata tak akan pernah bias berhasil menggambarkan harapan-harapan suci itu. Namun selain kata-kata, tidak ada yang lebih indah dan romantis untuk mewakilkan sebuah harapan dari bahasa cinta Rasulullah. Beginilah bentuk harapan dan rasa yang ada pada hati Rasulullah kepada gadis yang telah menjadikannya lelaki yang patah hati untuk pertama kalinya. Kenapa tidak kau katakana, bahwa hari ini kidung subuh dari cinta semesta tak cukup tembus meluluhkan hatimu, kekasih? Padahal doa-doa itu, bagaikan anak panah yang lalu memutar balik saat ku ceritakan nama indahmu pada Tuhanku...
Saya tidak perlu malu mengagumi Pak Harto. Dialah sang manajer sejati. He is number one. Budaya Jawa yang diusung Pak Harto, Hasto Broto khususnya, luar biasa bermanfaat dalam mengelola Indonesia. Meskipun begitu, Pak Harto mempunyai kelemahan. Kelemahannya adalah system behind him sebagai orang Jawa. Di balik sistem itu ketika seseorang telah berhasil, dia menganggap Republik adalah miliknya. Anak-anak dan lingkarannya boleh saja mengambil peluang lebih dari yang lain. Cara pandang seperti itu, menurut saya tidak benar. Banyak orang mengatakan kalau sudah menyangkut anak-anaknya, selalu nggak boleh ada yang melawan. Namun, kok saya melawan? Dan, Pak Harto tak apa-apa kok! Jadi saya heran, a...
