By the end of the 1960s the process of decolonization had practically run its course in Southeast Asia. One exception, however, was tiny Portuguese Timor, where notions of self-determination and independence had yet to be generated. In 1974, the Carnation Revolution in Portugal brought about the end of fifty years of dictatorship, and halfway around the world, presented a new opportunity to a small, ambitious proportion of the Timorese population, eager to shape the future of their country. This book presents a compelling and original perspective on the critical period of 1974-1975 in the history of East Timor.

Izin merupakan suatu keputusan yang begitu penting. Sering kali kegiatan yang sudah direncanakan atau diinginkan oleh masyarakat untuk dilakukan menjadi tidak dapat terlaksana karena tidak dilengkapi dengan izin. Berbagai aktivitas di dalam masyarakat baru dapat dilakukan apabila izin telah diperoleh. Penguasa sering kali mengaitkan perizinan untuk kepentingan pengendalian, pengawasan, dan sejumlah tujuan lainnya. Namun, untuk memperoleh izin kadang kala tidaklah mudah, memerlukan waktu panjang, persyaratan yang rumit, biaya yang tidak sedikit, bahkan tidak jarang setelah izinnya diperoleh pun masih menjadi persoalan.Dalam buku ini perizinan dibahas secara komprehensif, mulai dari hal-hal yang dasar seperti pengertian izin, dispensasi, rekomendasi, tujuan sistem perizinan, bentuk, dan susunan izin, prosedur penerbitan izin, sampai persoalan di bidang perizinan, dan upaya pembenahan di bidang perizinan. Buku ini sangat cocok bagi para akademisi maupun praktisi, para mahasiswa, pemerhati masalah perizinan, pejabat pemerintah, pengambil kebijakan dalam layanan publik, dan masyarakat luas.
Throughout the postwar history of Indonesia, the military have played a key role in the politics of the country and in imposing unity on a fragmentary state. The collapse of the authoritarian New Order government of President Suharto weakened the state and the armed forces briefly lost their grip on control of the archipelago. However, under President Megawati, the military has again begun to assert itself, and re-impose its heavy hand on control of the state, most notably in the fracturing outer provinces. Based on extensive original research, this book examines the role of the military in Indonesian politics. It looks at the role of the military historically, examines the different ways it is involved in politics, and considers how the role of the military might develop in what is still an uncertain future.

The terror campaign by pro-Indonesian armed groups before, during, and after East Timor's independence referendum in 1999 was a blatant challenge to the international community as many of the acts of murder, political intimidation, destruction, and mass deportation took place before the eyes of the world. Yet still the ultimate responsibility has been denied and obscured. Masters of Terror provides an authoritative analysis and documentation of the brutal operations carried out by the Indonesian army and its East Timorese allies. The authors carefully assemble detailed accounts of the actions of the major Indonesian officers and East Timorese militia commanders accused of gross human rights violations. This indispensable work explores a horrific frontal attack on democracy and calls for the establishment of an international tribunal for crimes against humanity in East Timor.
Sudah saatnya militer kembali ke barak untuk mengawal proses demokratisasi. Keterlibatan militer yang terlampau jauh dalam politik tak boleh terilangi, demi tegaknya civil society yang pluralis, berkeadaban, dan demokratis.
