In an important social change, female Muslim political leaders in Java have enjoyed considerable success in direct local elections following the fall of Suharto in Indonesia. Indonesian Women and Local Politics shows that Islam, gender, and social networks have been decisive in their political victories. Islamic ideas concerning female leadership provide a strong religious foundation for their political campaigns. However, their approach to women's issues shows that female leaders do not necessarily adopt a woman's perspectives when formulating policies. This new trend of Muslim women in politics will continue to shape the growth and direction of democratization in local politics in post-Suharto Indonesia and will color future discourse on gender, politics, and Islam in contemporary Southeast Asia.
Between Harmony and Discrimination explores the varying expressions of religious practices and the intertwined, shifting interreligious relationships of the peoples of Bali and Lombok. As religion has become a progressively more important identity marker in the 21st century, the shared histories and practices of peoples of both similar and differing faiths are renegotiated, reconfirmed or reconfigured. This renegotiation, inspired by Hindu or Islamic reform movements that encourage greater global identifications, has created situations that are perceived locally to oscillate between harmony and discrimination depending on the relationships and the contexts in which they are acting. Religious belonging is increasingly important among the Hindus and Muslims of Bali and Lombok; minorities (Christians, Chinese) on both islands have also sought global partners.

Alternately lauded as a democratic success story and decried as a flawed democracy, Indonesia deserves serious consideration by anyone concerned with the global state of democracy. Yet, more than ten years after the collapse of the authoritarian Suharto regime, we still know little about how the key institutions of Indonesian democracy actually function. This book, written by leading democracy experts and scholars of Indonesia, presents a sorely needed study of the inner workings of Indonesia's political system, and its interactions with society. Combining careful case studies with an eye to the big picture, it is an indispensable guide to democratic Indonesia, its achievements, shortcomings and continuing challenges.
Blurb Setiap manusia pasti Allah kasih kesempatan untuk memperbaiki diri, tinggal bagaimana manusia yang diberi kesempatan oleh Allah, mau menerima kesempatan itu atau mengabaikan kesempatan yang sudah Allah kasih. Kisah ini mengisahkan hijrah beberapa wanita yang diberi kesempatan oleh Allah lalu mereka menerima kesempatan itu dan berusaha memperbaiki diri meski harus beberapa kali terjatuh. Tetapi, tidak ada hasil yang mengecewakan untuk mendekatkan diri pada Allah, karena Allah sangat dekat dengan orang yang mau berusaha memperbaiki diri. "Maka sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan. Sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan." (QS. Al-Insyirah:5-6)
Raihana Aluka atau yang biasa dipanggil Hana, menunduk, memandangi kertas yang diselipkan di dalam kantong kresek hitam bersama dengan sebatang besar dark cokelat. Dia sedang berada di dalam metromini menuju Stasiun Kereta Pasar Minggu setelah pulang kursus bahasa Inggris, ketika Hans mengejarnya persis sebelum dia menapakkan kaki ke dalam angkot dan setengah memaksanya menerima plastik kresek itu. Kertas tersebut hanya berupa pertanyaan singkat dengan tulisan tangan besar-besar yang jauh lebih rapi dari tulisan tangan Hana. Isinya hanya lima kata, namun cukup membuat jantung Hana berdetak kencang ketika membacanya. ‘Would you be my girl?’

Because poverty does not only concern the economic, education, health, infrastructure, but also social, cultural and even political issues. So that a multidimensional policy ...

The rise of technology and ease of spread of information has facilitated the diaspora of new ideas in the community. The penetration of new ideology and new values challenges the status quo of value and morality in our community. While this can be seen as an opportunity to evolve as a nation, the introduction of radical and separatism brings chaos to the community. This issue is not only experienced in Indonesia but also in the whole world. The needs for a solution and academic forum to discuss this postmodernity in society bring us to the The 4th International Conference on Law, Education and Social Sciences (ICLSSE) 2022. This conference is an international forum to disseminate knowledge and research development among researchers, scholars, professionals, and those interested in research interests in Law and Social Sciences and Social Education. This conference was organized by the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. The theme of this fourth conference is "Race, Ethnicity, and Nationalism in Postmodern Society: Opportunities and Challenges".
