Box 789 0980 Manila, Philippines FOREWORD The achievement of higher economic growth and sustainable development, as set out in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), is a challenge for any developing country. Indonesia, in particular, faces this challenge while in the midst of fundamental changes to its political and economic milieu. Learning from the lessons of the Asian financial crisis of 1997 and the fall of Soeharto in 1998, Indonesia embarked on a new age, the era reformasi. Decentralization, public administration and financial reform, reallocation of government power, and judicial reform are just a few of its many wide-ranging and radical reforms. These changes are clearly driven by a desire to achieve higher economic growth and sustainable development, as well as poverty reduction that can be achieved only if governance structures are sound. Good governance requires sound economic management; the enforcement of the rule of law; and participation, transparency, accountability, and predictability in public administration. These factors are necessary to combat the widespread and systemic corruption that drain the economy. In line with the broad thrust of era reformasi, Indonesia has progressed in improving the legal and regulatory framework in selected areas, providing a greater role and voice to regional governments in the delivery of services, developing a framework for fiscal and public expenditure management, and developing a blueprint for the reform of the judiciary and audit institutions. The challenge for a new Government is how to manage expectations and accelerate the implementation of the governance agenda, given the results so far. While reforms have taken off in some segments of the economy, public and foreign confidence in the investment climate continue to be eroded by a lack of clarity on policy and the legal environment, and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of the rule of law. Better alignment of resources and expenditure obligations and greater accountability of public institutions are necessary to ensure that resources are properly harnessed to construct the physical infrastructure needed for economic growth. Finally, an efficient civil service—driven by the right incentives framework, a strong sense of professionalism, and high ethical standards—is indispensable to the implementation of Indonesia’s economic and social agenda. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is committed to support Indonesia in achieving the MDGs in this era reformasi. Over the recent years, ADB has assisted Indonesia with various programs and projects that aim to foster good governance in one form or another. Of immediate significance are ADB’s support for (i) the governance partnership; (ii) initiatives for anticorruption; (iii) decentralization programs that aim to develop local government capacities for efficient and effective delivery of services; (iv) effective governance through improved accounting, audit and procurement systems; (v) active policy dialogue and assistance for regional governance policies; and (vi) improvement of the State audit function. This Country Governance Assessment Report is a snapshot of the state of governance in Indonesia. It reflects both the achievements and the reform gaps. As such it provides a basis for further dialogue and work on the reform initiatives and their effective management. The report was prepared drawing upon ADB’s extensive economic and sector work, as well as reports from other institutions. It has been extensively discussed with national and regional government institutions and nongovernment stakeholders. This report will hopefully encourage Indonesia’s citizens, as well as its development partners to work together with the Government in facing and successfully overcoming the many challenges that lie ahead for Indonesia.

Haley School of Law A sweeping proviso that protects basic or fundamental interests of a legal system is known in various names – ordre public, public policy, public order, government’s interest or Vorbehaltklausel. This study focuses on the concept of Indonesian public order in private international law. It argues that Indonesia has extraordinary layers of pluralism with respect to its people, statehood and law. Indonesian history is filled with the pursuit of nationhood while protecting diversity. The legal system has been the unifying instrument for the nation. However the selected cases on public order show that the legal system still lacks in coherence. Indonesian courts have treated public order argument inconsistently. A prima facie observation may find Indonesian public order unintelligible, and the courts have gained notoriety for it. This study proposes a different perspective. It sees public order in light of Indonesia’s legal pluralism and the stages of legal development.

AUSTRALIA JAVA Foreword What is commonly referred to as the Indonesian coup is more properly called "The 30 September Movement," the name the conspirators themselves gave their movement. In this paper, the term "Indonesian coup" is used inter- changeably with "The 30 September Movement ," mainly for the sake of variety. It is technically correct to refer to the events in lndonesia as a "coup" in the literal sense of the word, meaning "a sudden, forceful stroke in politics." To the extent that the word has been accepted in common usage to mean "the sudden and forcible overthrow - of the government ," however, it may be misleading.

  • The Existence of the State Minister in the Government System After the Amendment to the 1945 Constitution
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 5, Series. 1 (May. 2020) 51-78 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Existence of the State Minister in the Government System after the Amendment to the 1945 Constitution ParbuntianSinaga Doctor of Law, UniversitasKrisnadwipayana Jakarta Po Box 7774 Jat Cm Jakarta 13077, Indonesia Abstract: Constitutionally, the existence of ministers called cabinet or council of ministers in a presidential government system is an inseparable part of the executive power held by the President. The 1945 Constitution after the amendment, that the presence of state ministers as constitutional organs is part of the power of the President in running the government. This study aims to provide ideas about separate arrangements between state ministries placed separately in Chapter V Article 17 to Chapter III of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia concerning the authority of the state government or the power of the President, and also regarding the formation, amendment and dissolution of the ministries regulated in legislation. This study uses a normative juridical research approach. The results of the study show that the Minister of State is the President's assistant who is appointed and dismissed to be in charge of certain affairs in the government, which actually runs the government, and is responsible to the President. The governmental affairs referred to are regulated in Law No. 39 of 2008 concerning the State Ministry, consisting of: government affairs whose nomenclature is mentioned in the 1945 NRI Constitution, government affairs whose scope is mentioned in the 1945 NRI Constitution, and government affairs in the context of sharpening, coordinating, and synchronizing government programs.

  • THE NEW ORDER and the ECONOMY J. Panglaykim and K. D
    THE NEW ORDER AND THE ECONOMY J. Panglaykim and K. D. Thomas It is rather ironic to recall President Sukarno’s "banting stir" speech of April 11, 1965. Just one year and a day after that speech, the Sultan of Jogjakarta, Presidium member for economic and financial affairs outlined the economic policy of the "perfected" Dwikora cabinet, which was formed as a result of the first major cabinet reshuffle after the abortive coup. In it, the Sultan envisaged a substantial "turn of the wheel", but it was a "banting stir" in a direction not intended by the President the previous year when he had concentrated his attacks on foreign capital and private entrepreneurs. In the months that followed the Sultan’s speech, there was a vigorous debate among the nation’s intellectuals on the content of In­ donesian socialism in the new era and the way in which the "just and prosperous society" so dear to the President1 was to be attained. Prominent in the debates were several groups of intellec­ tuals scattered throughout the capital city: some affiliated to political parties, others in such organizations as the In­ tellectuals’ Action Group (KASI). Membership in the various groups is not mutually exclusive. It is possible for a per­ son to belong to a political party and also to be an active participant in several formal and informal groups interested in discussing economic problems and taking steps to influence the government. So a program issued under the name of a par­ ticular organization cannot be regarded as the brain-child of that group alone.

  • The Changing of Political Orientation of Masyumi Party During 1950-1959
    The Changing of Political Orientation of Masyumi Party During 1950-1959 Alfi Hafidh Ishaqro,* Alamsyah, Dewi Yuliati Master Program of History, Faculty of Humanities, Diponegoro University *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Through historical method, this article studies the Shifts in Political Ideological Orientation of Masyumi Party during the Liberal Democracy Era 1950–1959. The shifted orientations of Masyumi Party included a shif of orientation in its principle, form of government and the government executive system. The establishment of Masyumi Party was the apex of the Japanese concern in trying to map the axis of the powers of various groups in Indonesia. The formations of PUTERA, which bore the nationalist inclination and MIAI, which tended to accommodate urban Muslims were not attractive enough to win the hearts and empathy from the Indonesian native communities for its occupation in Indonesia. Masyumi Party made Islam as a its struggling principle, not only as a symbol but also tha Received: ideology and spirits in conducting the various siyasah preaches within the 2 April 2017 scope of political struggles. Numerous internal dynamics were then occuring in the body Masymi Party. The Party’s change in its orientation Accepted: began to be visible, indicated by the idea suggested by M. Natsir to 18 May 2017 formulate the Constitution or Law of General Election. The formation of the General Election Law made M. Natsir and Masyumi the symbol of the establishment and growth of democracy in the Republic of Indonesia, which became more evident when M. Natsir was ousted and the subsequent working cabinet heads failed to hold a General Election.

  • Making Presidentialism Work: Legislative and Executive Interaction in Indonesian Democracy
    Making Presidentialism Work: Legislative and Executive Interaction in Indonesian Democracy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Djayadi Hanan, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: R. William Liddle, Adviser Richard Paul Gunther Goldie Ann Shabad Copyright by Djayadi Hanan 2012 i Abstract This study explores the phenomenon of executive – legislative relations in a new multiparty presidential system. It seeks to understand why, contrary to arguments regarding the dysfunctionality of multi-party presidential systems, Indonesia’s governmental system appears to work reasonably well. Using institutionalism as the main body of theory, in this study I argue that the combination of formal and informal institutions that structure the relationship between the president and the legislature offsets the potential of deadlock and makes the relationship work. The existence of a coalition-minded president, coupled with the tendency to accommodative and consensual behavior on the part of political elites, also contributes to the positive outcome. This study joins the latest studies on multiparty presidentialism in the last two decades, particularly in Latin America, which argue that this type of presidential system can be a successful form of governance. It contributes to several parts of the debate on presidential system scholarship. First, by deploying Weaver and Rockman’s concept of the three tiers of governmental institutions, this study points to the importance of looking more comprehensively at not only the basic institutional design of presidentialism (such as dual legitimacy and rigidity), but also the institutions below the regime level which usually regulate directly the daily practice of legislative – executive relations such as the legislative organizations and the decision making process of the legislature.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Four Indonesian Cabinets Since October 1, 1965, with Scattered Data on Their Members' Organizational and Ethnic Affiliations, Age and Place of Birth
    CONTINUITY AND CHANGE: Four Indonesian Cabinets Since October 1, 1965, with scattered data on their members' organizational and ethnic affiliations, age and place of birth. (Prepared by the Editors) One partial measure of the shifts in political power in Indo­ nesia since the abortive coup of October 1 is the altered composi­ tion of the official political elite — those persons holding ministerial rank. The changes in this official elite amply demon­ strate the post-coup gravitation of political power — formal as well as informal — to a new clustering of factions dominated prin­ cipally by the Indonesian army under General Suharto. At the same time, a study of these changes also suggests both the gradual pace of this political shift and its limits. It is noteworthy, for ex­ ample, that over 20 persons holding a ministerial-level position on October 1 still held such a position in the Aropera Cabinet formed some ten months later on July 28. In an effort to highlight these themes of continuity and change in the official elite, the editors have tried to present something more than a mere catalogue of the numerous alterations in the elite. Essentially what is given below are four cabinet lists — each representing a somewhat blurred, still photograph of the formal distribution of power in Indonesia at four key junctures in the dynamic process of developing a new political equilibrium. The first list serves as a benchmark. It shows the official elite of what is now known as the "Old Order" — the Guided Democ­ racy of President Sukarno — in its fullest and final formal incar­ nation on the eve of the coup.

    chapter 5 Economic Planning during the Guided Democracy Abstract This chapter discusses the development of institutions of national planning during the Guided Democracy and how it increasingly integrated the state within this structure. Sukarno’s Guided Democracy state wanted to reform the relationship between the old political elite, the new managerial elite and the wider Indonesian society. It wanted to do away with the centralization of power and authority within expert bodies and expand on the participation of both the old political elites and the wider Indonesian society in national, regional and local planning. The problems inherent in such a cor- porative planning structure came to a head with the failure of the Eight Year Plan of the Guided Democracy. This failure resulted in the recentralization of planning au- thority within the community of experts in a new planning body that would become central to New Order policy making in the future, the Bappenas. The integration of national, regional and local government into the institution of planning had resulted in the formation of new power relations that placed the military and expert planners in the center of state making policies. These forms of power relations had expanded the managerial state into the lower parts of the Indonesian state and thus opening the way for a more integrated managerial state that wield the ability to coordinate on a deeper level of society. The rise of regional planning coincided with the expansion of the army’s role in regional power politics and administration. Keywords Depernas – Bappenas – eight year overall national planning – regional planning This chapter discusses the development of the institution of national planning during the Guided Democracy.
