Apres La Pluie: Setelah Hujan
Nima, sang fotografer, tengah galau menghadapi proses perceraian dengan suaminya, Armand. Di tengah kegalauannya, dia ditugaskan ke pedalaman Afrika. Hutan Afrika rupanya telah melibatkan emosi Nima dengan Alan, salah seorang rekan kerjanya dalam penelitian. Mereka berdua bertemu dengan sekelompok pemberontak dan terperosok dalam penyanderaan. Penderitaan yang mereka alami bersama menciptakan kesadaran dalam diri Nima bahwa Alan telah banyak memberinya pelajaran berharga tentang hidup. Pada saat yang sama, Armand masih belum bisa melepaskan Nima dan meminta Nima untuk kembali padanya. [Mizan, Bentang, Pustaka, Novel, Memoar, Indonesia]
Relasi Agama dan Pancasila
Tantangan terhadap Pancasila memang berasal baik dari ideologi sayap kanan maupun sayap kiri. Hanya saja, konflik Pancasila dengan agama adalah yang paling memiliki dinamika panjang. Bagi beberapa kelompok agama di Indonesia, selalu ada garis demarkasi yang memisahkan Pancasila dengan agama. Di beberapa ormas Islam, hal demikian itu bukan hanya bersifat politis tetapi juga ideologis. Ada landasan keyakinan dan pemahaman keagamaan yang membuat nilai-nilai Pancasila tidak dapat berjalan beriringan dengan agama. Bagi manusia-manusia Indonesia sebagai suatu bangsa, persoalan ini tentu sangat pelik karena membawa ekses negatif terhadap stabilitas politik dan dapat menjadi ancaman bagi integrasi y...

China Ascendant
China is on the cusp of becoming a superpower. The transformation of Beijing's regional and global position over the last three and a half decades has received extensive attention from experts and opinion- and decision-makers across the world. The responses of the states in the Indo-Pacific and beyond to China's rise is currently a mixture of trepidation, confrontation and cooperation. China Ascendant is an eclectic collection of articles by some of the finest minds in India and seeks to capture the pattern and complexities of Beijing's engagement with the world and the states around its rim-land. In these essays are insightful analyses on several facets of Chinese power -- economic, military, technological and political -- and they provide a peroration on China's societal trends, environmental profile, energy needs, media strategy and cultural influences.
The Moral Democracy
Aung San Suu Kyi spoke passionately about non-violence, she wrote involved articles about compatibility of democracy with Buddhism and she won the hearts and minds of so many with her call for the freedom from fear (…) It seemed – for more than two decades – that Suu Kyi was a perfect, non-Western propagator of democracy, human rights, rule of law (…) Yet a deeper analysis reveals that Suu Kyi intellectually, indeed, has been a democrat all along, but a Burmese democrat (…) Suu Kyi understands democracy in a Buddhist way and she reasons about politics using Buddhist ideas, idioms and concepts (…) This Buddhist dominance of her political thought had several consequences, the most ...
American Tianxia
After a meteoric rise, China's growth has come to a screeching halt. Salvatore Babones provides an up-to-date assessment of how China's economic problems are undermining its challenge to the Western-dominated world order. He tells how liberal individualism has become the leitmotif of American Tianxia.
Buddhism and Violence
It is generally accepted in the West that Buddhism is a 'peaceful' religion. This volume demolishes this stereotype, and produces instead a coherent account of the modern Buddhist attitudes towards violence and warfare, which take into consideration both doctrinal logic of Buddhism and the socio-political situation in Asian Buddhist societies. The chapters in this book offer a deep analysis of 'Buddhist militarism' and Buddhist attitudes towards violence, grounded in an awareness of Buddhist doctrines and the recent history of nationalism. The international team of contributors includes scholars from Thailand, Japan, and Korea.
Speaking Out in Vietnam
Since 1990 public political criticism has evolved into a prominent feature of Vietnam's political landscape. So argues Benedict Kerkvliet in his analysis of Communist Party–ruled Vietnam. Speaking Out in Vietnam assesses the rise and diversity of these public displays of disagreement, showing that it has morphed from family whispers to large-scale use of electronic media. In discussing how such criticism has become widespread over the last three decades, Kerkvliet focuses on four clusters of critics: factory workers demanding better wages and living standards; villagers demonstrating and petitioning against corruption and land confiscations; citizens opposing China's encroachment into Vietnam and criticizing China-Vietnam relations; and dissidents objecting to the party-state regime and pressing for democratization. He finds that public political criticism ranges from lambasting corrupt authorities to condemning repression of bloggers to protesting about working conditions. Speaking Out in Vietnam shows that although we may think that the party-state represses public criticism, in fact Vietnamese authorities often tolerate and respond positively to such public and open protests.
