Martinus Dwi Marianto July 1995 ABSTRACT Surrealist painting flourished in Yogyakarta around the middle of the 1980s to early 1990s. It became popular amongst art students in Yogyakarta, and formed a significant style of painting which generally is characterised by the use of casual juxtapositions of disparate ideas and subjects resulting in absurd, startling, and sometimes disturbing images. In this thesis, Yogyakartan Surrealism is seen as the expression in painting of various social, cultural, and economic developments taking place rapidly and simultaneously in Yogyakarta's urban landscape.

  • A Review of Thee Kian Wie's Major
    Economics and Finance in Indonesia Vol. 61 No. 1, 2015 : 41-52 p-ISSN 0126-155X; e-ISSN 2442-9260 41 The Indonesian Economy from the Colonial Extraction Period until the Post-New Order Period: A Review of Thee Kian Wie’s Major Works Maria Monica Wihardjaa,∗, Siwage Dharma Negarab,∗∗ aWorld Bank Office Jakarta bIndonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Abstract This paper reviews some major works of Thee Kian Wie, one of Indonesia’s most distinguished economic historians, that spans from the Colonial period until the post-New Order period. His works emphasize that economic history can guide future economic policy. Current problems in Indonesia were resulted from past policy failures. Indonesia needs to consistently embark on open economic policies, free itself from "colonial period mentality". Investment should be made in rebuilding crumbling infrastructure, improving the quality of health and education services, and addressing poor law enforcement. If current corruption persists, Indone- sia could not hope to become a dynamic and prosperous country. Keywords: Economic History; Colonial Period; Industrialization; Thee Kian Wie Abstrak Tulisan ini menelaah beberapakarya besar Thee Kian Wie, salah satu sejarawan ekonomi paling terhormat di Indonesia, mulai dari periode penjajahan hingga periode pasca-Orde Baru. Karya Beliau menekankan bahwa sejarah ekonomi dapat memberikan arahan dalam perumusan kebijakan ekonomi mendatang. Permasalahan yang dihadapi Indonesia dewasa ini merupakan akibat kegagalan kebijakan masa lalu. In- donesia perlu secara konsisten menerapkan kebijakan ekonomi terbuka, membebaskan diri dari "mentalitas periode penjajahan". Investasi perlu ditingkatkan untuk pembangunan kembali infrastruktur, peningkatan kualitas layanan kesehatan dan pendidikan, serta pembenahan penegakan hukum. Jika korupsi saat ini berlanjut, Indonesia tidak dapat berharap untuk menjadi negara yang dinamis dan sejahtera.

  • Tensions Among Indonesia's Security Forces Underlying the May 2019
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 61 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 13 August 2019 Tensions Among Indonesia’s Security Forces Underlying the May 2019 Riots in Jakarta Made Supriatma* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On May 21-22, riots broke out in Jakarta after the official results of the 2019 election were announced. These riots revealed a power struggle among retired generals and factional strife within the Indonesian armed forces that has developed since the 1990s. • The riots also highlighted the deep rivalry between the military and the police which had worsened in the post-Soeharto years. President Widodo is seen to favour the police taking centre-stage in upholding security while pushing the military towards a more professional role. Widodo will have to curb this police-military rivalry before it becomes a crisis for his government. • Retired generals associated with the political opposition are better organized than the retired generals within the administration, and this can become a serious cause of disturbance in Widodo’s second term. * Made Supriatma is Visiting Fellow in the Indonesia Studies Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 61 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The Indonesian election commission announced the official results of the 2019 election in the wee hours of 21 May 2019. Supporters of the losing candidate-pair, Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Uno, responded to the announcement with a rally a few hours later. The rally went on peacefully until the evening but did not show any sign of dispersing after the legal time limit for holding public demonstrations had passed.

    Conclusion: Convergent Paths In November 1945, the President of the Republic of Vietnam, Hồ Chí Minh, sent a letter addressed to ‘the President of the Republic of Indonesia’, proposing that a joint declaration of solidarity to be made by Indonesia and Vietnam in the form of a ‘Preparatory Commission Struggling for a Federation of the Free Peoples of Southern Asia’. The letter, entrusted to an American journalist named Harold Isaacs, did not reach President Soekarno.1 It was handed to Vice-President Mohammad Hatta, who then passed it on to Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir. Sjahrir discussed the offer with Soedjatmoko Koko, the interpreter to foreign correspon- dents of the Republican government, but told him that he would not reply and preferred just to ignore the letter. Sjahrir indifference sprang from his conviction that the situation in Indonesia and Vietnam were very different. The Indonesian nationalists were up against the Dutch, who were ‘a weak colonial power and could be defeated quickly.’ Hồ Chí Minh had to contend with the French, who could and would resist him for a long time. Furthermore, he looked askance at the fact that the DRV government depended on support from the communists, which was not the case in Indonesia. In conclusion, Sjahrir argued, ‘If we ally ourselves with Hồ Chí Minh, we shall weaken ourselves and delay Independence.’2 The story of the missed opportunity for cooperation between Vietnam and Indonesia3 as a result of Sjahrir’s ‘betrayal of the greater Asian revolution’,as 1Harold Robert Isaacs is the author of No Peace for Asia, which has been cited widely in this dissertation.

Despite this encouraging rejuvenation of the ranks, the drive to professionalise the country’s military remains fragile. Commentary THE RECENT appointment of a new Commander-in-Chief for the Indonesian National Defence Forces (TNI) Admiral Agus Suhartono has been typically followed by a major reshuffle of the other ranks. From 17 November 2009 up to 18 October 2010, there were a total of 17 waves of personnel changes. These latest changes, however, not only placed officers from the Military Academy classes of 1976 to 1978 in charge of the TNI’s high command; they also highlighted the rapid promotion of officers from the 1980 to 1982 classes. Professionalising the Military The rapid rise of the 1980s generation officers is to overcome the shortage of high-ranking military officers to occupy top positions in TNI Headquarters and several civilian ministries.

  • Napak Tilas Jejak Proklamasi: Kemayoran Hingga Rengasdengklok
    Napak Tilas Jejak Proklamasi: Kemayoran hingga Rengasdengklok https://www.cnnindonesia.com/nasional/20190816095936-20-421842/napak-tilas-jejak- proklamasi-kemayoran-hingga-rengasdengklok CNN Indonesia | Sabtu, 17/08/2019 10:36 WIB Sukarno saat berpidato di hadapan sekitar 200.000 orang di Makassar menuntut kemerdekaan Indonesia dari Belanda. (AFP PHOTO) Jakarta, CNN Indonesia -- Proklamasi kemerdekaan RI yang dibacakan pada 17 Agustus 1945 pukul 10.00 WIB tak dilaksanakan begitu saja. Banyak hal yang terjadi sebelum barisan kalimat proklamasi RI dibacakan Sukarno di teras rumahnya tersebut, Jalan Pegangsaan Timur 56 (sekarang area Monumen Proklamasi), Jakarta Pusat. Bermula dari kegelisahan tokoh pemuda setelah mengetahui Jepang telah kalah dalam Perang Dunia II, mereka mendesak Sukarno dan tokoh nasional lain yang tengah menyusun rencana kemerdekaan untuk menyegerakan proklamasi. Para darah muda yang tak ingin proklamasi Indonesia sebagai 'hadiah' dari Jepang itu pun mengasingkan Sukarno dan Muhammad Hatta ke Rengasdengklok, Karawang, agar berubah pikiran untuk mau menyegerakan proklamasi. Peristiwa membawa Sukarno-Hatta keluar Jakarta itu kemudian dikenal dalam sejarah sebagai 'Penculikan ke Rengasdengklok. Akhirnya, sampai juga pada masa yang bersejarah saat perumusan naskah proklamasi dan pembacaannya di Jakarta Pusat. Namun, apakah Anda tahu sejumlah tempat yang menjadi saksi bisu perjuangan proklamasi kemerdekaan RI secara de facto itu bukan sebagai hadiah dari Jepang. Berikut CNNIndonesia.com rangkumkan untuk Anda, meskipun beberapa tempat sudah tak sesuai dengan kondisinya pada 1945 silam. 1. Bandara Kemayoran Chairul Saleh dkk menunggu di Kebun Pisang dekat Bandara Kemayoran, Jakarta Pusat. Mereka menunggu untuk menemui langsung Sukarno-Hatta yang baru tiba dari Saigon, Vietnam setelah bertemu Jenderal Jepang Hisaichi Terauchi, 14 Juli 1945 petang.

[Page 48] Journal o.lWorld-Systems Research In Indonesia much uncertainty remains in the wake of the dramatic changes that unfolded in the latter half of the l990's. By the end of the 20th century, the Indonesian economy was in ruins. The concept of democracy remained contested. The transportation and communication system that once at lea'lt minimall y linked the diverse and at times disparate area'l and peoples of the Indonesian archipelago into an Andcrsonian imagined national community collapsed, making more likely movcmcnt'l for regional autonomy, in turn, making the status of an Indonesian nation itself uncertain. One thing that is certain, however, is that Socharto, the "Father of Development," is history. As political and economic policy makers in Indonesia, the United States, and around the world, and more importantly, Indonesia's men, women, and children pick up the pieces, it is our responsibility to look back and consider the past fifty years. Indonesian development ha'l been marked by a struggle between two opposing forces: one that is commensurate with self-reliance predicated upon an ideology of nationalism, and another that positions Indonesia within global capitalism. The issue that I shall address here is the degree to which the strategies of development were determined by a culture of capitalism or, alternatively, by a culture of nationalism.

  • Guerrilla Warfare and the Indonesian Strategic Psyche
    Small Wars Journal www.smallwarsjournal.com Guerrilla Warfare and the Indonesian Strategic Psyche Emmet McElhatton “While this sultan was sitting in audience, I saw a man with a knife in his hand resembling a book-binders’ tool. He put this knife to his own neck, and delivered a long speech which I did not understand, then gripped it with both hands and cut his own throat. So sharp was the knife and so strong his grip that his head fell to the ground. I was amazed at his action. The sultan said to me, ‘Does anyone do this in your country?’ I replied ‘I have never seen such a thing.’ Then he laughed and said ‘These are our slaves, who kill themselves for love of us’… One of those present at this audience told me that the speech made by the man was a declaration of his affection for the sultan, and that he was slaying himself for love of him, as his father had slain himself for love of the sultan’s father, and his grandfather for the love of the sultan’s grandfather. Thereafter I withdrew from the audience.” -Ibn Battuta, A Declaration of Affection for the Sultan of Mul-Jawa, 1349.1 To Ibn Battuta, the great Islamic traveller and, to borrow an idea from Isaiah Berlin, one of the most civilised men of his or any other age, the evident culture of Java was a highly perplexing thing indeed demanding much long, and preferably distant, rumination. Throughout the ages of exploration, colonialism and internationalism, the Spice Islands, that archipelagic peppering of lands that sweeps from the Malay Peninsula to the lip of the Pacific basin, have always appeared that bit more oriental – obscurer, darker, more esoteric – to Western2 eyes than the other civilisations of the Far Eastern world.
