Democracy is frequently considered a single (and thus uniform) national programme. However, political structures and opportunities differ clearly in various contexts, and as such they have their own influences and consequences. The study of democracy and democratisation must be reinforced with research that emphasises local perspective over national ones, for it is at the local level that different centres of power interact and understandings of genuine democratic practices are created. It is in this spirit that this book attempts to examine the diverse problem of democracy and democratisation in various Indonesian localities, while also underscoring the importance of considering asymmetrica...
Too much attention is paid to the absence of women leaders around the world rather than their presence, leaving a gap in our understanding of the difference women leaders make on the lives of fellow women. The Woman President presents a unique comparative study of women's leadership and the law, offering new ways for understanding the impact of female presidential leadership on women's everyday lives by analysing the legal legacies of four women presidents: Corazon Aquino (1986-1992), Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (2001-2010), Megawati Sukarnoputri (2001-2004), and Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga (1994-2005). It uses a new and innovative methodology, the Gender Legislative Index, to score laws ...
Friedrich Engels was one of the most important German thinkers of the 19th century and his writings are still important today. Addressing the pressing issues of his time, the broadly interested scholar Engels would write about many different topics, and thereby not only pave the way for a science-based socialism, but also for further studies in sociology, history, and philosophy. To highlight the value and impact of Engels' work as well as emphasize its relevance for major issues that will determine the 21st century, the present anthology assembles scholars from different countries and research fields to discuss how to read and gain insights from reading his works in our time. It also attempts to stimulate further research about Engels, who 200 years after his birth deserves to be fully brought out of the shadow of his friend and colleague Karl Marx.
Buku ini membahas pentingnya menghidupkan kembali gerakan pembaruan Islam di Indonesia setelah munculnya wacana konservatif. Setelah Nurcholish Madjid, para pembaru Islam mengusung dua agenda utama: kebebasan berpikir dan redefinisi fungsi agama. Nurcholish menyoroti isu-isu seperti sekularisasi, liberalisasi ajaran Islam, dan pentingnya mengadopsi ide-ide kemajuan. Ia menekankan kebebasan berpikir, mengkritik sikap kaku tokoh Islam terhadap perbedaan pendapat, dan mengangkat ide kemajuan. Buku ini juga menyoroti bahwa Indonesia memilih jalan tengah Pancasila setelah kemerdekaan, bukan negara berlandaskan Islam atau sekuler.
Buku yang mengulas mengenai sosok Alfred Schutz, terlebih metodologinya, dapat dikatakan tidak banyak tersedia di tengah dunia akademik. Padahal, sosok Alfred Schutz merupakan salah satu tokoh penting baik dalam ranah ilmu sosial maupun filsafat. Dalam ranah filsafat, ia dikenal sebagai sosok yang mendalami tradisi fenomenologi Husserlian. Dalam ranah ilmu sosial, khususnya sosiologi, ia mendalami proyek metodologis Weber yang saat itu berupaya mengembangkan metodologi interpretatif sebagai upaya melawan kecenderungan tradisi positivisme ilmu (mengambil metodologi dari ilmu alam). Berbasis pada perjumpaannya dengan tradisi filsafat fenomenologi dan sosiologi interpretatif, Schutz mengembangk...

Demokrasi kerap dianggap sebagai sebuah proyek nasional yang tunggal dan bersifat seragam. Padahal, struktur kesempatan politik di berbagai konteks jelas berbeda-beda dan menimbulkan pengaruh serta akibat yang juga berbeda. Oleh karena itu, studi tentang demokrasi dan demokratisasi perlu diperkuat dengan mengedepankan perspektif lokal, lebih dari pada perspektif pusat (nasional). Di tingkat lokal-lah terletak pusat-pusat kekuasaan yang satu sama lain saling berinteraksi. Dan di tingkat lokal pula imajinasi-imajinasi genuine tentang praktik berdemokrasi dapat ditemukan. Buku ini adalah hasil studi di 11 daerah yang bermuara pada kesimpulan bahwa rezim lokal yang berbeda-beda dapat dipetakan d...
