  • 23 Populasi MIGRATION, ETHNICITY and LOCAL
    Populasi Volume 24 Nomor 2 2016 Halaman 23-36 MIGRATION, ETHNICITY AND LOCAL POLITICS: THE CASE OF JAKARTA, INDONESIA Aulia Hadi and Riwanto Tirtosudarmo Research Center for Society and Culture, Indonesian Institute of Sciences Correspondence: Aulia Hadi (email: [email protected]) Abstract As the capital city of a country with the world’s fourth largest population, Jakarta, like many other big cities in the developing economies, for example, Mexico City or New Delhi, hosts migrants from all regions of the country. Without a doubt, Jakarta has increasingly become the major core of the agglomeration processes transforming it and its satellite cities into a Mega Urban Region (MUR). This paper traces historically the interactions between migration, ethnicities and local politics in Jakarta from the 1960s to the 2000s focusing on the latest development, in which the phenomenon ‘Ahok’, the nickname of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, a Chinese-Christian from the small district of Belitung, has become an increasingly popular Governor of Jakarta. The paper argues that through the recent developments in Jakarta the politics have apparently been transformed into more civic, rather than ethnic politics. The nature of Jakarta as a proliferating migrant city transcends narrow cultural identities as well as conventional party politics into a more active citizenry through the widespread use of social media. Keywords: migration, ethnicity, local politics, new media Introduction had already started in the 17th century. Because of the low number of inhabitants, the Government of the Dutch East Indies The interconnection between migration, encouraged people to move to Batavia1 to ethnicity and politics has been thoroughly meet its labour needs.

    Asia Pacific Bulletin EastWestCenter.org/APB Number 266 | June 5, 2014 The Indonesian Presidential Election: Now a Real Horse Race? BY ALPHONSE F. LA PORTA The startling about-face of Indonesia’s second largest political party, Golkar, which is also the legacy political movement of deposed President Suharto, to bolt from a coalition with the front-runner Joko Widodo, or “Jokowi,” to team up with the controversial retired general Prabowo Subianto, raises the possibility that the forthcoming July 9 presidential election will be more than a public crowning of the populist Jokowi. Alphonse F. La Porta, former Golkar, Indonesia’s second largest vote-getter in the April 9 parliamentary election, made President of the US-Indonesia its decision on May 19 based on the calculus by party leaders that Golkar’s role in Society, explains that “With government would better be served by joining with a strong figure like Prabowo rather more forthcoming support from than Widodo, who is a neophyte to leadership on the national level. Thus a large coalition of parties fronted by the authoritarian-minded Prabowo will now be pitted against the the top level of the PDI-P, it is smaller coalition of the nationalist Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), which had just possible that Jokowi could selected former vice president Jusuf Kalla, nominally of Golkar, as Jokowi’s running mate. achieve the 44 percent plurality If this turn of events sounds complicated, it is—even for Indonesian politics.

  • Dwifungsi Politisi; Madharat Atau Maslahat
    Pengusaha & Perubahan Politik Asep Sahid Gatara Ketua Jurusan Ilmu Politik FISIP UIN Bandung; Wakil Ketua ICMI Jawa Barat Pada hari Kamis lalu, 21 Maret 2019, atau tepat dua hari menjelang tahapan kampanye terbuka digelar (23 Maret-13 April 2019), ada peristiwa politik menarik, yakni deklarasi dukungan dua kelompok pengusaha nasional terhadap kedua pasangan capres- cawapres. Peristiwa itu menarik karena selama ini pengusaha dalam memberikan dukungan politik biasanya tidak terbuka namun secara tertutup atau diam-diam. Dan, biasanya juga dukungan diam-diam tersebut terkadang diberikan kepada semua kontestan yang bertarung. Deklarasi dukungan pengusaha untuk pasangan Joko Widodo-Ma’ruf Amin, dengan nama “10.000 Pengusaha untuk Jokowi-Amin”, dihelat di Istora Senayan, Jakarta Pusat. Sedangkan deklarasi dukungan pengusaha untuk pasangan Prabowo Subianto- Sandiaga Salahudin Uno, dengan sebutan “Aliansi Pengusaha Nasional Lintas Sektoral untuk Indonesia Menang”, dihelat di Djakarta Theater XXI, Jakarta Pusat. Deklarasi dukungan pengusaha untuk nomor urut 01 dimotori oleh Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, sementara untuk nomor urut 02 dimotori oleh Erwin Aksa. Deklarasi dukungan pengusaha terhadap kedua pasangan capres-cawapres pada hari yang sama namun lokasi yang berbeda tersebut menunjukkan adanya keterbelahan preferensi politik pengusaha nasional pada perhelatan Pilpres 2019. Meskipun sebenarnya mereka sama-sama berhimpun di Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia (Kadin), Himpunan Pengusaha Muda Indonesia (HIPMI), Himpunan Pengusaha Pribumi Indonesia (HIPPI), dan organisasi pengusaha nasional lainnya. Deklarasi dukungan pengusaha terhadap pasangan capres-cawapres sebenarnya bukanlah fenomena baru. Ia menjadi rangkaian panjang dari semakin maraknya pengusaha berani tampil di panggung politik praktis. Even politik pilpres-wapres 2004 menjadi 1 pembuka babak keterlibatan pengusaha secara masif di panggung politik terbuka.

  • Prabowo Subianto and Indonesia's Geostrategic Defence Outlook
    No.No. 09 09 / / 27 27 January January 2020 2020 www.habibiecenter.or.idwww.habibiecenter.or.id Prabowo Subianto and Indonesia’s Geostrategic Defence Outlook: Between US-China and ASEAN By Naifa Rizani Intern at The Habibie Center [email protected] Introduction The appointment of the new Indonesian Minister of Defence, Prabowo Subianto, has stirred a lot of debate due to his questionable track record from his previous career in the Indonesian Military. After being appointed by President Joko Widodo in the new cabinet, Prabowo Subianto promptly held several meetings with foreign representatives, notably from the two great power countries, discussing defence cooperation while he also gave a bold statement urging the strengthening of regional security at the ASEAN Defence Ministerial Meeting (17/11).1 This raised a discourse on how Prabowo will translate President Joko Widodo’s vision and mission into Indonesia’s defence policy in the future. What is his focus for Indonesia’s Ministry of Defence? How will he maintain the defence ties between the great powers and with ASEAN? And how will Indonesia’s defence ties turn under his watch? Prabowo Subianto as the New Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto was (in)famously known for his military career and later as President Joko Widodo’s contender in the general elections of 2014 and 2019. Nevertheless his military background and political standing are expected to help him in his new role as Defence Minister. As a former Army lieutenant general, he is well-informed of the need to improve Indonesia’s defence situation, and is perceived to have gained the full trust of the President who even declared, “I believe I don’t have to tell him about his job -- he knows more than I do.”2 Despite the criticism received by several human rights groups that are concerned by the possibility of a greater military role in the civil sphere and also his seeming lack of concern on human rights issues, Prabowo Subianto’s longstanding experiences in the field appear No.

  • Power Politics and the Indonesian Military
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:05 09 May 2016 Power Politics and the Indonesian Military Throughout the post-war history of Indonesia, the military has played a key role in the politics of the country and in imposing unity on a fragmentary state. The collapse of the authoritarian New Order government of President Suharto weakened the state, and the armed forces briefly lost their grip on control of the archipelago. Under President Megawati, however, the military has again begun to assert itself, and to reimpose its heavy hand on control of the state, most notably in the fracturing outer provinces. This book, based on extensive original research, examines the role of the military in Indonesian politics. It looks at the role of the military histori- cally, examines the different ways in which it is involved in politics, and considers how the role of the military might develop in what is still an uncertain future. Damien Kingsbury is Head of Philosophical, International and Political Studies and Senior Lecturer in International Development at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. He is the author or editor of several books, including The Politics of Indonesia (Second Edition, 2002), South-East Asia: A Political Profile (2001) and Indonesia: The Uncertain Transition (2001). His main area of work is in political development, in particular in assertions of self-determination.
