In this timely work, Ross Michael Pink and Luthfi Dhofier detail specific case studies across eight countries to provide a crucial overview of the impacts of climate change.

Water Rights in Southeast Asia and India

Storied Island
Javanese literature is one of the world’s richest and most unusual literary traditions yet it is little known today outside of Java, Indonesia, and a handful of western universities. With its more than a millennium of documented history, its complex interactions over the centuries with literature written in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Malay and Dutch, its often symbiotic relationship with the performing arts of puppetry and dance, and its own immense creativity and insight, this vastly understudied literature offers a lens to understanding Java’s fascinating world as well as human ingenuity more broadly. The essays in this volume, Storied Island: New Explorations in Javanese Literature, take a fresh look at questions and themes pertaining to Java’s literature, employing new theoretical and methodological lenses.
Education in Indonesia
This book offers a critical analysis on Indonesian education by drawing from various critical perspectives and theoretical frameworks to explore persistent challenges and social inequality problems in the education sector.

JEJAK PEMIKIRAN PENDIDIKAN ULAMA NUSANTARA: Genealogi, Historiografi, dan Kontekstualisasi Pendidikan Islam di Nusantara
Manusia dalam pendidikan menempati posisi sentral, karena manusia di samping dipandang sebagai subjek, ia juga dilihat sebagai objek pendidikan itu sendiri. Sebagai subjek, manusia menentukan corak dan arah pendidikan dan sebagai manusia dewasa yang bertanggung jawab dalam menyelenggarakan pendidikan serta secara moral berkewajiban atas perkembangan pribadi peserta didik. Sedangkan sebagai objek, manusia menjadi fokus perhatian segala teori dan praktik pendidikan. Konsep pendidikan harus mengandalkan pemahaman mengenai siapa senyatanya manusia itu. Konsep pendidikan Islam misalnya, tidak akan dapat dipahami sepenuhnya sebelum memahami penafsiran Islam terhadap siapa sosok dan jati diri manusia. Pentingnya memotret manusia sebagai titik sentral dari teori dan praktik pedidikan, karena manusia merupakan unsur yang penting dalam setiap usaha pendidikan. Maka dari itu, tanpa lebih dulu dijelaskan siapa sejatinya manusia itu, prosespendidikan akan meraba-raba tanpa arah
