Suharto
Publisher Description
Suharto, Farewell to the King
DURING his 32 years in power Suharto had plenty of opportunities to do good and bad—which he did, alternately. However, there was a process which seemed to go on forever under his administration, the length of which could only be outdone by Cuba’s Fidel Castro. This process was centralization, and even personalization, with figurehead Suharto as the nucleus of the entire nation.
Democratization in Post-Suharto Indonesia
This book gives an overview of the difficult and multilayered process of democratization in Indonesia since the fall of its long-term autocratic ruler Suharto.
Suharto, Indonesia's Last Sultan
Suharto was one of the world's most enduring rulers - some say dictators. If he was a dictator, he was in many respects a benevolent one. He offered Indonesia a deal by which personal freedoms were restricted in return for a share in economic advancement.
Political Armies
Does the withdrawal of armies from direct rule in most countries herald an end to their role as actors in domestic politics? Has political intervention by the military been superseded? This comparative examination of the politicized armed forces looks at * the consequences of military rule for nation building and economic development * the effects of the passing of the Cold War and the rise of globalization on the political role of the military * the role of political armies in the consolidation of civil politics and democratic governance * the lessons for policy makers in global governance and post-conflict reconstruction The contributors build on successive theories about the role of the military in politics and look to the future. The most threatening scenario may be a proliferation of armed actors and the rise of privatized forces of law and order.
Indonesia Beyond Suharto
This text presents an accessible introduction to the most significant problems facing Indonesia and raises issues for further investigations. It addresses such questions as: how has Indonesia managed to remain one country?; and is there a truly national Indonesian culture?
Elections and Politics in Indonesia
An analysis of the 1999 Indonesian general election and subsequent presidential election in the context of Indonesian elections and politics. The book highlights major characteristics of Indonesian society and culture which affect electoral behaviour, namely ethnicity, regionalism and religion.
Oligarchy
For centuries, oligarchs were viewed as empowered by wealth, an idea muddled by elite theory early in the twentieth century. The common thread for oligarchs across history is that wealth defines them, empowers them and inherently exposes them to threats. The existential motive of all oligarchs is wealth defense. How they respond varies with the threats they confront, including how directly involved they are in supplying the coercion underlying all property claims and whether they act separately or collectively. These variations yield four types of oligarchy: warring, ruling, sultanistic and civil. Moreover, the rule of law problem in many societies is a matter of taming oligarchs. Cases studied in this book include the United States, ancient Athens and Rome, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, medieval Venice and Siena, mafia commissions in the United States and Italy, feuding Appalachian families and early chiefs cum oligarchs dating from 2300 BCE.

Alexander adalah Zulqarnain
"Dan mereka bertanya kepadamu, mengenai Zulqarnain. Katakanlah, 'Aku akan bacakan kepada kamu sedikit tentang perihalnya.' Sesungguhnya Kami telah memberikan kepadanya kekuasaan di bumi, dan Kami beri kepadanya jalan bagi mencapai tiap-tiap sesuatu yang diperlukannya." (surah al-Kahfi: 83-84) Sejak sekian lama, nama agung Zulqarnain cuba dikaitkan dengan nama-nama raja agung dalam sejarah. Mustahil raja agung yang tercatat di dalam al-Quran 'hilang' dalam rekod sejarah. Bukan seorang dua raja agung yang dinobatkan, namun mengaitkan peribadi raja dengan iman yang disebutkan di dalam al-Quran masih 'misteri.' Mencari Zulqarnain ibarat bermain teka-teki. Setiap teka-teki mempunyai kata kunci. A...
