PETARUNG POLITIK
Buku ini mencoba kenalkan sejumlah nama-nama yang berpotensi menjadi orang nomor satu di negeri ini. Sejumlah data dari berbagai sumber dirangkum untuk mendapatkan deksripsi yang jelas dari masing-masing tokoh. Pembaca diharapkan mampu mendapatkan informasi yang ringkas namun bernas dari setiap figur. Jelas, buku ini hanya satu dari sedikit referensi yang pastinya bertebaran menjelang 2014. Referensi yang mendukung salah satu figur atau “kampanye hitam” kepada figur lainnya akan sangat mudah ditemukan di rak-rak toko buku, spanduk, selebaran, atau dunia maya.

Kopassus
In a nation where the military has played an influential social and political role since its founding, perhaps no unit has wielded more power-and seen more action-than Kopassus, Indonesia's Special Forces. From the jungles of Irian Jaya to the backrooms of Jakarta's most powerful political figures, this elite group of commandos has influenced nearly every major policy decision taken since its inception in 1952. Here, for the first time, this secretive and controversial unit is exposed in KOPASSUS: Inside Indonesia's Special Forces by acclaimed author Ken Conboy. In this new age of terrorism and counter-terrorism, and especially in the wake of the October 2002 Bali bombing, understanding Kopa...
Politik Identitas dan Perebutan Hegemoni Kuasa
Penulisan riset ini bermula dari bentuk keprihatinan penulis terhadap maraknya stigmatisasi dan pembelahan kelompok di masyarakat atas dasar pilihan politik. Hubungan organisasi transnasional seringkali digunakan untuk labelisasi suatu gerakan yang dianggap berlawanan dengan pemegang kekuasaan. Pembelahan kelompok politik menimbulkan fenomena kekerasan baru di tengah masyarakat, sebagaimana kekerasan verbal dan kekerasan politik. Fenomena tersebut berdampak pada tumbuhnya resistensi secara terbuka dan resistensi secara tersembunyi melalui ekstrimisasi gerakan. Rasa keingintahuan terhadap penyebab pembelahan kelompok masyarakat sebagai bentuk perilaku politik, menjadi motivasi penulis untuk mencari tahu perkembangan politik identitas di Indonesia dalam kontestasi pemilihan politik di beberapa jenjang.

Oligarchic Cartelization in Post-Suharto Indonesia
Oligarchic Cartelization in Post-Suharto Indonesia By: Boni Hargens As detailed in Oligarchic Cartelization in Post-Suharto Indonesia, a few ruling individuals from party organizations overpowered Indonesia’s post-authoritarian, representative democracy. The legislative process of the 2017 Election Act was the case study employed to examine this assumption. The underlying thinking was that there was a contest between “wealth power” (oligarchy) and “participation power” (democracy). The power of wealth controls the party and government institutions. Notwithstanding the presence of participation power, there was, however, no balance between wealth power and participation power, becau...
The Yudhoyono Presidency
The presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (2004–14) was a watershed in Indonesia's modern democratic history. Yudhoyono was not only the first Indonesian president to be directly elected, but also the first to be democratically re-elected. Coming to office after years of turbulent transition, he presided over a decade of remarkable political stability and steady economic growth. But other aspects of his rule have been the subject of controversy. While supporters view his presidency as a period of democratic consolidation and success, critics view it as a decade of stagnation and missed opportunities. This book is the first comprehensive attempt to evaluate both the achievements and the shortcomings of the Yudhoyono presidency. With contributions from leading experts on Indonesia's politics, economy and society, it assesses the Yudhoyono record in fields ranging from economic development and human rights, to foreign policy, the environment and the security sector.
Emerging States at Crossroads
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This volume analyzes the economic, social, and political challenges that emerging states confront today. Notwithstanding the growing importance of the ‘emerging states’ in global affairs and governance, many problems requiring immediate solutions have emerged at home largely as a consequence of the rapid economic development and associated sociopolitical changes. The middle-income trap is a major economic challenge faced by emerging states. This volume regards interest coordination for technological upgrading as crucial to avoid the trap and examines how various emerging states are grappling with this challenge by fostering public-pri...
Masters of Terror
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.
Christianity in Indonesia
Indonesia is a multicultural and multireligious nation whose heterogeneity is codified in the state doctrine, the Pancasila. Yet the relations between the various social, ethnic, and religious groups have been problematic down to the present day. In several respects, Christians have a precarious role in the struggle for shaping the nation. In the aftermath of the former president Suharto's resignation and in the course of the ensuing political changes Christians have been involved both as victims and perpetrators in violent regional clashes with Muslims that claimed thousands of lives. Since the beginning of the new millennium the violent conflicts have lessened, yet the pressure exerted on Christians by Islamic fundamentalists still continues undiminished in the Muslim-majority regions. The future of the Christians in Indonesia remains uncertain, and pluralist society is still on trial. For this reason the situation of Christians in Indonesia is an important issue that goes far beyond research on a minority, touching on general issues relating to the formation of the nation-state.
