Gender Discourse Within the Application of Islamic Law in Aceh, Indonesia Gender Discourse within the Application of Islamic Law in Aceh, Indonesia Desy Ayu Pirmasari September 2020 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion Lancaster University, UK DECLARATION I declare that the thesis is my own work, and has not been submitted in substantially the same form for the award of a higher degree elsewhere. 2 Acknowledgements First of all, thank you Allah (SWT) for all this opportunity and great people in my life. I was born in the heart of Borneo, Indonesia where the highest school we have in the village is a high school. Many of my friends never end up went into higher education, some even has to stop at secondary or high school. Thus, I would like to express a great thanks to the scholarship from the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP) that has enabled me to pursue my childhood dream of doing a Ph.D. I would also like to thank Vice President Jusuf Kalla for providing me with a recommendation for my Ph.D. scholarship. This thesis would never have been done without the support and kindness of many people throughout my Ph.D. journey. I would like to say thank you to my Ph.D. supervisors, Prof. Alison Stone and Dr. Shuruq Naguib, for their invaluable support and help. I greatly appreciate their support beyond my thesis project, constructive discussion, feedback and comments on my thesis as well as some other papers I was working on, and their understanding towards me as a ‘Ph.D. mama’. I would also like to acknowledge and thank Dr. Sossie Kasbarian for her guidance and constructive advice in the early stage of my Ph.D. I also would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Vina Adriany who has inspired me a lot and given me much advice about academic work and Ph.D life; Dr. Diane Potts for the discussion about CDA; Dr. Steve Wright for his guidance regarding computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software; Carol Bennett, for proofreading my thesis and giving me some constructive comments; and staff at the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, especially Claire Coxhill and Sheila Constantine. Thank you to Jamie Vegad for all the opportunities and experiences I had with International Office. This research would never have been possible without the help and support of many people during my fieldwork in Aceh, including those whose names I could not mention due to the need for anonymity, I thank everyone who has helped and participated in the research. I thank friends in Indonesia, Apriyatie and Harun, ka Ica, ka Bibah, Rachma, ka Fiat, Elyta, Latifah, Meta, Nancy and all my Chevening friends, especially Kanti and Irma. I thank my Bloomberg TV colleague who has always been supportive, Mas Thomas (Alm.), mba Rani, Alia and mba Endah. 3 I am also thankful for knowing many great friends during my Ph.D. journey, Hailey, Yunxia, Ana Porroche-Escudero and Choon Key are just a few of many people who have been great to me. Luciana Mendes, my Ph.D. mama buddy, thank you for being a great friend to discuss our theses and most importantly as someone who shares the same experiences of doing a Ph.D. and having a baby at the same time. I am thankful to all these people who have become a family to me. To Gilang, Bu Ami and Pa Gatot for being such a nice family for me, supporting and helping me in so many ways. To Janet and Mark Wilson, Haidar and Keith whom I have known since my master’s degree here in Lancaster, and who have become like a very close family to me now. I would like to thank a very special and most visionary woman, who was never educated to university level but believed that her children should do. I have always said to her that her ‘little daughter’ will one day study to Ph.D. level abroad. To my mother, Maskaya, for her bravery for sending me out of the village at 11 years old so I could have a better education. Great thanks also to all my family who are always there for me, supporting me and caring for me; my father Firmansyah, my brothers and sister, Hasan Basri, Husin Ansari, ka Trie, Mulia Sri Wahyuni and mas Arie, my nephews and niece, Habibie, Icha, Kenzo, Sidqi, Titan and Dede Alif, as well as my in-laws: David Mitchell, Peter Welfare, Sabrina, Matt, Henry, Charlene and Graeme. I thank my mother in law, Diane Lord, who I feel lucky to call Mum and who has been there for me and helping us by looking after Isaac so I can work on this thesis. A very special thanks goes to my husband, Shaun Welfare, who always believes in me and my capacity in doing anything, as well as my son Isaac Amartya Welfare who always brightens my days and makes me laugh even during hard times. 4 Table of Contents DECLARATION .................................................................................................................. 2 Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................. 3 List of Figures and Tables .................................................................................................. 7 Abstract .................................................................................................................................. 8 Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 9 Structure of the thesis and Intended Reader .................................................................. 13 Chapter 1.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Art of Resistance: Trauma, Gender, and Traditional Performance in Acehnese Communities, 1976-2011 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Women’s Studies by Kimberly Svea Clair 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Art of Resistance: Trauma, Gender, and Traditional Performance in Acehnese Communities, 1976-2011 by Kimberly Svea Clair Doctor of Philosophy in Women’s Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Susan McClary, Chair After nearly thirty years of separatist conflict, Aceh, Indonesia was hit by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a disaster that killed 230,000 and left 500,000 people homeless. Though numerous analyses have focused upon the immediate economic and political impact of the conflict and the tsunami upon Acehnese society, few studies have investigated the continuation of traumatic experience into the “aftermath” of these events and the efforts that Acehnese communities have made towards trauma recovery. My dissertation examines the significance of Acehnese performance traditions—including dance, music, and theater practices—for Acehnese trauma survivors. Focusing on the conflict, the tsunami, political and religious oppression, discrimination, and hardships experienced within the diaspora, my dissertation explores the ii benefits and limitations of Acehnese performance as a tool for resisting both large-scale and less visible forms of trauma. Humanitarian workers and local artists who used Acehnese performance to facilitate trauma recovery following the conflict and the tsunami in Aceh found that the traditional arts offered individuals a safe space in which to openly discuss their grievances, to strengthen feelings of cultural belonging, and to build solidarity with community members.

  • Security Threats to a Stable Democracy
    At a glance October 2016 Indonesia: Security threats to a stable democracy Indonesia is a stable country which has undergone a successful transition to civilian democracy. However, there are still concerns about the military's continuing strong influence. There are also a number of internal and external threats to stability, although these remain fairly low-level, for now. Indonesian armed forces Indonesia's defence budget is just 0.9 % of GDP, much less than in Southeast Asian neighbours such as Malaysia (1.5 %) or Thailand (1.6 %). However, actual military spending is more than this, as the budget does not include all government spending on the armed forces or the military's own revenues (see below). The Indonesian military has 395 000 personnel (0.15 % of population) — mostly in the army (300 000), with the navy in second place (65 000). Again, this is relatively small — 0.53 % of Thais serve in the armed forces. Territorial disputes in the South China Sea have highlighted the need for Indonesia to have a strong military, and military expenditure is gradually increasing. President Jokowi aims to raise the defence budget to 1.5 % of GDP, provided that economic growth exceeds 6 %, which is questionable. Armed forces retain substantial political and economic influence Indonesia's military was at its most powerful under former dictator General Suharto, who ruled the country from 1967 to 1998. During that time, one fifth of parliamentary seats were held by unelected military representatives, and active military officers headed numerous ministries and provinces. Since then, democratic reforms have curbed the military's political role – military representatives no longer sit in the parliament, and active military personnel are barred from standing in elections.

  • Transnational Cooperation on Anti-Terrorism: a Comparative Case Study of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia
    A.S.M. Ali Ashraf TRANSNATIONAL COOPERATION ON ANTI-TERRORISM: A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY OF SAUDI ARABIA AND INDONESIA A.S.M. Ali ASHRAF* Abstract Most western security experts suggest that transnational cooperation on anti-terrorism, especially with predominantly Muslim countries, will significantly help control the violent groups, prone to using jihadi ideology against western targets in general and American targets in particular. Security cooperation with the oil rich Middle Eastern countries and the Muslim majority Southeast Asian nations are particularly important. In this backdrop, this paper investigates the policy actions of two Muslim majority countries—Saudi Arabia and Indonesia—in addressing the growing concerns about jihadi ideology and lax anti-terror regimes. It finds that the two countries (Saudi Arabia and Indonesia)—faced with the threats of international terrorism at home—are increasingly engaged in transnational anti-terrorism programs within bilateral and multilateral frameworks. In conclusion, the paper briefly discusses the theoretical and policy implications of such anti- terrorism cooperation, and stresses the need for sustained policy attention and resource allocation for building a robust counterterrorism regime. Key Words Anti-terrorism, Intelligence & Law enforcement, Security Regime, Transnational Cooperation Introduction Most western security experts suggest that transnational cooperation on anti-terrorism, especially with the predominantly Muslim countries, will significantly help control the violent groups, prone to using jihadi ideology against western targets in general and American targets in particular.1 Security * The author is a Ph.D. Candidate, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh, USA; and Lecturer (on leave), Department of International Relations, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Isi di luar tanggung jawab percetakan Sekapur Sirih Oleh:Oleh: Dr. Hilmar Hilmar Farid Farid DirjenDirektur Kebudayaan Jenderal Kemendikbud Kebudayaan RI Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia BERBICARA tentang gerakan kaum perempuan, di ujung dunia mana pun, selalu menjadi tema perbincangan yang menarik dan hangat. Bukan saja karena sisi “perempuan”-nya, melainkan lebih karena isu-isu yang diusungnya senantiasa menjadi titik perbincangan menarik di tengah dunia yang didominasi kuasa lelaki ini. Di Indonesia sendiri gerakan kaum perempuan sudah dimulai sejak awal, sejak jaman kolonialisme, bahkan jauh sebelum berdirinya negara Republik Indonesia. Nama-nama seperti Ken Dedes, Tribuana Tunggadewi, Roro Jonggrang, dan lain-lain sudah cukup populer sebagai perempuan legendaris yang menurut beberapa tafsir sejarah –meski perlu dikaji lebih serius—sedikit banyak dapat terhitung sebagai pergerakan perempuan kala itu. Di jaman modern, gerakan kaum perempuan menjadi semakin terorganisir, terstruktur, dan massif, mulai dari era Kartini hingga era reformasi terkini. Sudah banyak hasil yang terlihat dan bisa dinikmati dari gerakan perempuan berabad-abad lamanya itu. Namun demikian, dalam konteks sejarah perjuangan bangsa, peran kaum perempuan kerap diabaikan, bahkan dipandang sebelah mata.
