ISLAMIC POLITICAL THOUGHT: CHARACTERISTICS OF NEOSECULARISM IN AN-NAIM THOUGHT
This article is the result of research on the thoughts of Abdullahi Ahmed an-Naim in his book Islam and the Secular State.
Islam in Indonesia
Provides a broader perspective about contemporary Islam in Indonesia through discussing two streams of thought and movements - Islamic modernism and radical Islamic fundamentalism. This book is suitable for understanding the comprehensive challenges posed by radical Islam in the Indonesian archipelago.
Challenging the Secular State
Challenging the Secular State examines Muslim efforts to incorporate shari’a (religious law) into modern Indonesia’s legal system from the time of independence in 1945 to the present. The author argues that attempts to formally implement shari’a in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim state, have always been marked by tensions between the political aspirations of proponents and opponents of shari’a and by resistance from the national government. As a result, although pro-shari’a movements have made significant progress in recent years, shari’a remains tightly confined within Indonesia’s secular legal system. The author first places developments in Indonesia within a br...
Islam in Southeast Asia
Examines the role, relevance and challenges, as well as the political and strategic dimensions of Islam in contemporary Southeast Asia.
Transnational Islamic Actors and Indonesia's Foreign Policy
The past fifteen years have seen Indonesia move away from authoritarianism to a thriving yet imperfect democracy. During this time, the archipelago attracted international attention as the most-populated Muslim-majority country in the world. As religious issues and actors have been increasingly taken into account in the analysis and conduct of international relations, particularly since the 9/11 events, Indonesia’s leaders have adapted to this new context. Taking a socio-historical perspective, this book examines the growing role of transnational Islamic Non-State Actors (NSAs) in post-authoritarian Indonesia and how it has affected the making of Indonesia’s foreign policy since the coun...

The Shariatisation of Indonesia
This book is a succinct and critical account on the shariatisation of Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world. It comes with an important conclusion that the change of such a non-theocratic state like Indonesia into a theocratic state is highly possible when its law is penetrated by those who want to change the state system.
The New Asia-Pacific Order
Focusing on the emergence of a new economic, political, and security order in the post-Cold War Asia-Pacific region, this book examines the sustainability of economic dynamism; the shape of regional groupings in the next decade; the relative shifts in the balance among the major powers; the new security architecture; and globalization, democratization, and human rights.
The Vortex of Power
This book explores the role of intellectuals and governance processes in post-authoritarian Indonesia. Focusing on East Java, the author argues that intellectuals have played an increasingly direct and practical role in the exercise of governance at the local level of Indonesian politics. The book provides insights into how the collaboration between intellectuals and local politico-business elites has shaped good governance and democratic institution-building, validating power structures that continue to obstruct political participation in the country. In addition, the book also delves into the contribution of local intellectuals in resolving the contradictions between technocratic ideas and...
