Unity through Division
Indonesia, like many other countries around the world, is currently experiencing the process of democratic backsliding, marked by a toxic mix of religious sectarianism, polarization, and executive overreach. Despite this trend, Indonesians have become more, rather than less, satisfied with their country's democratic practice. What accounts for this puzzle? Unity Through Division examines an overlooked aspect of democracy in Indonesia: political representation. In this country, an ideological cleavage between pluralism and Islamism has long characterized political competition. This cleavage, while divisive, has been a strength of Indonesia's democracy, giving meaning to political participatio...
Politik Media, Media Politik
Berkembangnya fenomena kemunduran demokrasi serta menguatnya rezim otokrasi, menjadi titik balik optimisme perkembangan demokrasi dalam kurun waktu satu dekade terakhir. Dibandingkan dengan fenomena otoritarian di masa lalu, rezim otokrasi kontemporer justru menggerus demokrasi dengan metode yang ‘konstitusional’, terlembaga, dan halus. Salah satu yang menjadi perhatian adalah pembatasan terhadap kebebasan berpendapat, berserikat, termasuk kebebasan pers dan media. Gejala yang dapat dilihat dalam upaya reduksi kebebasan pers saat ini, di antaranya: menciptakan regulasi yang membatasi kerja jurnalis dan media, mengambil alih kepemilikan media, memanipulasi media dengan pembiayaan atau iklan, mengancam atau mengintimidasi pekerja dan organisasi media, serta penangkapan dan pembubaran organisasi pers dan media yang dianggap melawan pemerintah. Buku ini berupaya mewarnai literatur tentang keterkaitan pers, rezim dan kemunduran demokrasi, yang dapat digunakan baik dalam kajian-kajian ilmu politik, studi pemerintahan, maupun ilmu komunikasi.
Media, Kebudayaan, dan Demokrasi
Perkembangan dan dinamika pascareformasi dalam konteks politik, demokrasi, dan budaya merupakan topik yang memperoleh perhatian tersendiri, khususnya dalam bidang komunikasi, politik, dan sosiologi. Kesadaran kita sebagai individu, masyarakat, dan warga negara tidak lepas dari pengaruh media. Perkembangan teknologi dan beragamnya informasi, turut membentuk dan mewarnai berbagai relasi sosiokultural dan politik. Media kian lekat dengan kehidupan, bahkan turut terlibat dalam internalisasi nilai-nilai di masyarakat. Buku ini diharapkan menjadi salah satu referensi bagi peneliti, akademisi, mahasiswa, dan masyarakat umum yang menaruh minat dalam mengkaji tentang keterkaitan antara media, kebudayaan, dan demokrasi.
PASANG SURUT DEMOKRASI
Gerakan Reformasi di Indonesia yang dimulai pada tahun 1998 telah membuka ruang bagi demokratisasi. Setelah berjalan selama lebih dari 20 tahun, sudah waktunyalah kiranya memotret hasil yang dituai dari berbagai dinamika dan pergulatan dalam menata demokrasi dalam berbagai aspeknya itu. Potret yang disajikan oleh para kontributor di dalam buku ini mencakup beberapa isu: partisipasi politik perempuan, dampak sistem Pemilu, aspek konstitusional dalam sengketa Pemilu, gerakan buruh, politik identitas dalam tingkat lokal, hubungan sipilmiliter, kebebasan pers, dan kesenjangan ekonomi. Dari sini kelihatan bahwa berbagai artikel dalam buku ini memotret pernak-pernik perubahan dari berbagai sudut ...

Democracy and Social Policy
This book examines the complex relations between democracy and social policy. Economic development is a necessary but not sufficient condition for welfare development. In industrial democracies, differences in the reach and organization of unions, presence of Left parties in government, and social pacts, account for much of the variation in welfare provision among countries. Social security is limited in democracies with low levels of industrialization, even though some countries with a social democratic orientation seem to have done well. Traditions of political rights, improvements in electoral competitiveness, and a pro-active judiciary may empower social movements to pressure governments in low-income democracies to introduce progressive social reforms.
Local Power & Politics in Indonesia
Indonesia is experiencing an historic and dramatic shift in political and economic power from the centre to the local level. The collapse of the highly centralised Soeharto regime allowed long-repressed local aspirations to come to the fore. The new Indonesian Government then began one of the world's most radical decentralisation programmes, under which extensive powers are being devolved to the district level. In every region and province, diverse popular movements and local claimants to state power are challenging the central authorities.This book is the first comprehensive coverage on decentralisation in Indonesia. It contains contributions from leading academics and policy-makers on a wide range of topics relating to democratisation, devolution and the blossoming of local-level politics.
Democracy and Decentralisation in South Asia and West Africa
This book is an in-depth empirical study of four Asian and African attempts to create democratic, decentralised local governments in the late 1980s and 1990s. The case studies of Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Karnataka (India) and Bangladesh focus upon the enhancement of participation; accountability between people, politicians and bureaucrats; and, most importantly, on whether governmental performance actually improved in comparison with previous forms of administration. The book is systematically comparative, and based upon extensive popular surveys and local field work. It makes an important contribution to current debates in the development literature on whether 'good governance' and decentralisation can provide more responsive and effective services for the mass of the population - the poor and disadvantaged who live in the rural areas.
