Book Synopsis Interpreting Indonesian Politics by : Benedict Anderson
Download or read book Interpreting Indonesian Politics written by Benedict Anderson and published by Equinox Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades there has been a continuing debate among Western scholars concerning the nature of Indonesian politics and the best approaches for understanding them. Several of the most important contributions to this debate were never published and others have gone out of print. Thus, it has been difficult for a new generation of students of Indonesia to be aware of the range of opinions and discussion in Western academic circles concerning the character of postrevolutionary Indonesian politics. For this reason, it appeared to us useful to bring together a series of articles that can provide a framework for understanding the evolution of these perspectives. Clearly, we could not include all the important contributions to the debate, and this selection has been made on the basis of the best representation of differing views over time. In general the pieces appear in chronological sequence in order to delineate more clearly the evolution of the debate. To maintain this chronological development we have also made no changes in the arguments as originally presented, nor, with one exception, permitted the authors to do so, even when they have altered their opinions since originally writing the essays. Passages, however, have occasionally been cut from published articles where they are too repetitive, or where they are not relevant to the major themes being presented here. All such omissions are indicated by a series of dots (...). Because of the continuing nature of the debate, the collection is being published as an Interim Report which we hope will stimulate further reactions and analyses.
Book Synopsis Interpreting Indonesian Politics by : Leo Suryadinata
Download or read book Interpreting Indonesian Politics written by Leo Suryadinata and published by Cavendish Square Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpreting Indonesian Politics comprises a collection of papers written over a 20-year period, presenting the author's analysis and reflections on the political and economic situation of the country and tracing the growth of Indonesia as a nation from the time Suharto took over the reins of government in 1965. The author proposes a framework within which Indonesian politics could be studied. Suryadinata's framework would highlight the basic factors which dominate the Indonesian political scene, such as the role of the military, Islam and the highly active and vocal students. The author explores the political interaction of these factors which will make this study particularly important to scholars.
Book Synopsis Political Power and Communications in Indonesia by : Karl D. Jackson
Download or read book Political Power and Communications in Indonesia written by Karl D. Jackson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few general books are currently available on Indonesia despite its enormous human and economic resources. Hence the importance of this book, which offeres the latest research of internationally respected scholars with extensive first-hand experience in the archipelago. Their particular concern is with the realities of power and the patterns of communication in a society distinguished by both its poverty and its great potential. The contributors to the volume span a wide spectrum of viewpoints, and present various interpretation of Indonesian society. Taken together, however, the essays support the thesis that Indonesia is a "bureaucratic polity"--a political system in which power is hierarchically organized, influence is monopolized by an official elite, and individuals outside officialdom have little effect on events. These authorities examine in depth such subjects as the role of the military, the impact of bureaucracy, the importance of political parties, the character of the mass media, and the direction of economic development as well as other matters essential for an understanding of current development in the country. Political Power and Communications in Indonesia is addressed not only to students of Indonesia or specialists in comparative politics and political development but quite as directly to persons seeking basic information about an extremely interesting and complex society. Its broad coverage makes it a veritable handbook about how government functions in Indonesia. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1978.

Book Synopsis Politics in Contemporary Indonesia by : Ken M.P Setiawan
Download or read book Politics in Contemporary Indonesia written by Ken M.P Setiawan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Politics in Contemporary Indonesia, Ken M.P. Setiawan and Dirk Tomsa analyse the most prominent political ideas, institutions, interests and issues that shape Indonesian politics today. Guided by the overarching question whether Indonesia still deserves its famous label as a ‘model Muslim democracy’, the book argues that the most serious threats to Indonesian democracy emanate from the fading appeal of democracy as a compelling narrative, the increasingly brazen capture of democratic institutions by predatory interests, and the narrowing public space for those who seek to defend the values of democracy. In so doing, the book answers the following key questions: What are the dominant political narratives that underpin Indonesian politics? How has Indonesia’s institutional framework evolved since the onset of democratisation in 1998? How do competing political interests weaken or strengthen Indonesian democracy? How does declining democracy affect Indonesia’s prospects for dealing with its main policy challenges? How does Indonesia compare to other Muslim-majority states and to its regional neighbours? Up-to-date, comprehensive and written in an accessible style, this book will be of interest for both students and scholars of Indonesian politics, Asian Studies, Comparative Politics and International Relations.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Indonesia by : Damien Kingsbury
Download or read book The Politics of Indonesia written by Damien Kingsbury and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, with the ascension of Megawati Sukarnoputri to the presidency, Damien Kingsbury looks in detail at her style of government and the fundamental issues and concerns facing Indonesia. The biggest question facing this heterogeneous nation seems to be whether the Republic of Indonesia will be able to hold together or whether this unitary state was just a brief moment in post-colonial history." "This book is a valuable resource for students of Asian studies, politics, and related disciplines. Likewise, it remains essential reading for those wishing to travel or do business in Indonesia and for anyone living in the strategic shadow of this important, diverse, and fragile country."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Indonesian Politics in the Eyes of a Foreign Student by : Walter Ajambang
Download or read book Indonesian Politics in the Eyes of a Foreign Student written by Walter Ajambang and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an interpretation of the intentions, actions and policies of two presidents that I witnessed their rulership while I was a student in Indonesia. As an African I was fortunate to experience democracy and the rule of law under the SBY leadership. It was a wonderful experience. Then came the Jokowi era where I noticed early signs of African-style totalitarianism and incompetence. This book also explains why young promising politicians like Anas Urbaningrum, Andy and Anggie found themselves in Prison. It explains the role played by the naive head of the anti graft committee (KPK) Abraham Samad and explores Jokowi's political future. This book was written September 2009 and March 2015 and a majority of the things predicted during this period, occurred before the publication of this book. This book is part of the Indonesian history written by a neutral person without any interest in Indonesian party politics. It will remain useful to Indonesian students, politicians, diplomats, foreigners and people wishing to invest in Indonesia for the next 100 years.
Book Synopsis Jokowi and the New Indonesia by : Darmawan Prasodjo
Download or read book Jokowi and the New Indonesia written by Darmawan Prasodjo and published by . This book was released on 2021-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, Joko Widodo--popularly known as Jokowi--was elected the seventh president of the Republic of Indonesia, going on to win a second five-year term in 2019. Raised amid poverty in a riverside slum and with a background in the furniture export trade, Jokowi broke the mold for political leaders in the world's third-largest democracy. His meteoric rise came without the benefit of personal connections to the traditional elites who have dominated Indonesian politics for three-quarters of a century, making this a true rags to riches story. This new official biography tells the story of how the boy from the riverbank made it to the presidential palace in record time. Readers will learn how his personal background and heritage have created a distinctive style of politics and informed his ambitious development goals--including massive infrastructure projects, universal healthcare and a reimagining of Indonesia's educational system. It also looks at how a man raised with a traditionally Javanese worldview negotiates the tensions, contradictions and conflicts of this vast archipelagic nation. Written by a political insider with unparalleled access to the president and an intimate first-hand knowledge of his decision-making processes, this book is essential reading for anyone looking to understand the political present--and the future--of Southeast Asia's largest nation.

Book Synopsis Text/politics in Island Southeast Asia by : D. M. Roskies
Download or read book Text/politics in Island Southeast Asia written by D. M. Roskies and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the language of poetry conspire with the language of power? This question is at the heart of this volume which deals with Indonesia and the Philippines in the early modern and post-1945 periods. These two nations have been shaped by the forces of nationalism, revolution, and metropolitan hegemony. Whether written in Malay, Tagalog, English, or Dutch the writings coming from them carry the contradictions of their time and place in the milieu of race and class. The contributors examine the literature and politics of Indonesia and Philippines from the point of view of contemporary thinking. Their examinations include the responses of indigenous writers to censorship and to their marginalization and cooption by colonial and neocolonial states. They investigate the rhetoric of spectacle in the Philippines of Ferdinand Marcos, the function of pasyon in Tagalog religious narrative, the writings of Pramoedya Ananta Toer in Indonesia, and the memoirs of a Javanese aristocrat. This book will be of interest to colonial historians and to students and scholars of non-Western and comparative literature.
