    CURRENT DATA ON THE INDONESIAN MILITARY ELITE (Prepared by the Editors) In the past, the editors have periodically prepared lists of officers holding key positions in the Indonesian Armed Forces to keep readers abreast of developments. The present list (updated to early February 1982) follows the format adopted in pre­ vious listings--namely, the full official organizational structure of the Department of Defense and Security, including all the various agencies under the minister’s supervision; the staff and command hierarchy of the Army down to the Kodam (Ter­ ritorial Command) level; and the Head of Bakin (State Intelligence Coordination Agency), a post directly subordinate to the President. As in our previous listing (Indonesia, No. 29 [April 1980]), we present some tentative preliminary comments on structural changes in the military hierarchy, and on the "politics of succession." I. Structural Changes In our last listing we discussed changes in the military high command in terms of centralization, Javanization, divisional and service affiliation, and generational stratification. These still seem the most relevant dimensions for any useful struc­ tural analysis. Centralization. We considered this question in terms of the power and author­ ity, first of President Suharto himself, and then of Defense Minister Yusuf, vis-S- vis the military hierarchy as a whole. With regard to the President, we commented in early 1980 on the extraordinarily long incumbency of particular key offices by certain trusted confidants, all of whom, by no means accidentally, seem disadvan­ taged in a succession competition by reason of religious or ethnic background. Over the past two yedrs, none of these men has been displaced.

  • Immigration, Emigration and Policy Developments in Portugal (ARI)
    Area: Demography, Population & International Migrations ARI 117/2009 Date: 21/7/2009 Immigration, Emigration and Policy Developments in Portugal (ARI) João Peixoto and Catarina Sabino * Theme: Due to the economic crisis, from the beginning of the new century many of Portugal’s former immigrants have moved on to Spain and other European countries, in parallel with the increase in Portuguese emigration. Summary: In the context of Southern Europe, Portugal faces a singular situation. Similarly to Spain, Italy and Greece, the country registered a strong immigration in the late 1990s. However, in the early years of the new century immigration has decreased. At the same time, emigration has continued and a new wave of emigrants has left the country, mostly directed towards Spain. As regards government policy, admission and integration have been addressed but emigration has not seriously been looked into. Analysis: Introduction As in other southern European countries, in recent decades Portugal has undergone a rapid transition from net emigration to net immigration. The migration turnaround occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, following the same trend as in Spain, Italy and Greece. Similarly to most of its southern counterparts, the bulk of the inflow has occurred since the late 1990s –although in Portugal they decreased shortly after–. Many of the underlying factors of this profound social change are common to the southern European context, including a strong labour demand, an extensive informal economy, higher aspirations of the local population and limited State capacity to deal with inflows and welfare. A number of other factors were specific to Portugal, such as its status as a colonial empire until the 1970s and the lower pressure of direct immigration from bordering countries.

  • Eastern European Migration to Portugal: from an Unexpected Migration to an Uncertain Future
    Eastern European migration to Portugal: from an unexpected migration to an uncertain future JO S É CARLO S MARQUE S [email protected] Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Portugal PEDRO GÓI S [email protected] University of Coimbra, Portugal In Portugal, Eastern European immigrants only become numerically sig- nificant at the end of the 1990s. Until that time, the Portuguese immigra- tion landscape was mainly characterized by the presence of citizens from former Portuguese colonies in Africa and from Brazil. The study of this phenomenon is particularly interesting because it allows to analyse the constitution and development of a new immigration flow and of new im- migrant communities in the country and, since the 2008 crisis, to investi- gate the strategies that immigrants use to face an economic situation that seems to hinder the fulfilment of their initial motivations for migration. Considering the importance of economic motives, it should be expected that, if the reason that justified migration can no longer be satisfied in Por- tugal, migrants would adopt strategies to attain their economic wellbeing elsewhere. By focusing on the possibilities that migrants consider when planning their future trajectories in a context marked by an economic down- turn, this analysis intends to shed light on some of the factors that could impact on these possibilities. It will be shown that these are not limited by the dichotomy of staying or returning, but are spread over a continuum of mobility options in-between the two extreme options (staying or returning). The objective of this article is twofold. First, it presents the evolution of immigration in Portugal giving special attention to the inflow of Eastern European immigrants at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

    Sea-Change: Mambai Sensory Practices and Hydrocarbon Exploitation in Timor-Leste by Prash Naidu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Stuart Kirsch, Chair Professor Webb Keane Professor Maria Lemos Professor Erik Mueggler Prashanthan Naidu [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-3619-3636 © Prashanthan Naidu 2019 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of my grandparents, Avva and Thata, and Avo Roza in Timor-Leste. ii Acknowledgements I recall the times Avva, my paternal grandmother, whiffed deeply into a piece of fruit before placing it under my untrained nose. “Here, smell it. You can tell by the smell if it’s ripe,” she said. This memory rematerialized many years later when my Mambai host mother, Roza, beckoned me to smell the fish caught by her husband in the Tasi Mane. “You won’t smell the sea when you smell our fish, you will only smell death,” Roza would often remind me during fieldwork. Not only did Roza nudge me to study the vital role of the senses in people’s perception of environmental change, she also stirred memories of my grandmother’s olfactory teachings. Roza and her family Araujo shared more than food, safety, and shelter with me; they left me with a sense of purpose in documenting and writing about the sea-change experienced by people at the margins of international concern. As an adviser once shared with me, an acknowledgement is the materialization of our lived memories.

  • Current Data on the Indonesian Military Elite
    CURRENT DATA ON THE INDONESIAN MILITARY ELITE (Prepared by the Editors) Periodically over the last fifteen years we have prepared lists of officers hold­ ing key positions in the hierarchy of the Indonesian Armed Forced to help readers keep abreast of current developments. (The last previous listing was in Indonesia, No. 33 [April 1982] which included changes through February 1982.) We have been able to do so because changes of personnel have typically been incremental, and because when a major organizational change took place, as in October 1969, the transformation occurred quickly and smoothly, without involving any drastic redis­ tribution of power or personnel. This is not the case with the recent reorganiza­ tion. The changes that got under practical way in March 1983 are unprecedented in their scope and complexity, and seem unlikely to run their full course before well into 1984. Essentially, they can be understood as involving two distinct, yet interrelated processes: (1) a generational shift which has virtually eliminated the "Generation of '45" from the Armed Forces' hierarchy; (2) the organizational rever­ berations of the separation of the functions of Minister of Defense and Security and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces mandated by Law 20/1982. Perhaps fortu­ nately for the editors, the evidence for the generational shift was largely complete as of the beginning of July 1983, and seems reasonably susceptible to preliminary analysis. On the other hand, although General S. Poniman and General L. B. "Benny" Murdani assumed on March 28, 1983 the twin top positions that had earlier always been held by a single officer, the division of authority and responsibility between them has yet to be resolved; and until it is resolved many billets remain either empty or held on a caretaker basis.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College Abstract This thesis examines the history of Indonesian nationalism over the course of the twentieth century. In this thesis, I argue that the country’s two main political leaders of the twentieth century, Presidents Sukarno (1945-1967) and Suharto (1967-1998) manipulated nationalist ideology to enhance and extend their executive powers. The thesis begins by looking at the ways that the nationalist movement originated during the final years of the Dutch East Indies colonial period.
