Pada dasarnya pembangunan sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat merupakan kegiatan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam dan lingkungan hidup akan berdampak pada perubahan fungsi kehidupan. Dalam perspektif ini pembangunan disamakan dengan modernisasi (westernisasi) yaitu: pertumbuhan ekonomi, runtuhnya ikatan-ikatan tradisional dalam masyarakat, industrialisasi dan terbukanya pasar-pasar lokal (globalisasi). Oleh karena itu, tata kelola dan cara-cara dalam membangun akan menentukan besaran dampak yang akan terjadi pada keberlanjutan kehidupan dimasa yang akan datang. Buku ini berfokus dalam membahas pembangunan yang berkeadilan dalam kasus praktik pembangunan di Sumatera Utara dipilih karena bentuknya tangible, menempati aspek ruang dan waktu sehingga bersinggungan erat dengan isu pelayanan publik, sosial dan lingkungan, dan menyentuh banyak aspek unsur keadilan. Berdasarkan pengalaman dan pengamatan penulis suatu keadilan memang mudah untuk dituliskan dan dirumuskan. Sayangnya, keadilan juga tidak mudah untuk dilaksanakan, direalisasikan, dikoordinasikan, dan diperjuangkan.
Based on extensive ethnographic research, this book examines how the Islamic community in Java, Indonesia, is actively negotiating both modernity and tradition in the contexts of nation-building, globalisation, and a supposed clash of civilizations. The pesantren community, so-called because it is centered around an educational institution called the pesantren, uses education as a central arena for dealing with globalization and the construction and maintenance of an Indonesian Islamic identity. However, the community's efforts to wrestle with these issues extend beyond education into the public sphere in general and specifically in the area of leadership and politics. The case material is used to understand Muslim strategies and responses to civilizational contact and conflict. Scholars, educated readers, and advanced undergraduates interested in Islam, religious education, the construction of religious identity in the context of national politics and globalization will find this work useful.
