Puji dan syukur patut senantiasa kami persembahkan kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa atas semua usaha baik dan tak kenal lelah tokoh-tokoh yang disebut di dalamnya. Puji dan syukur juga kami panjatkan kepada Tuhan karena buku yang ada di tangan pembaca ini dapat diwujudkan meski dengan persiapan waktu yang tidak terlalu lama. Terbitnya buku ini semoga merupakan tanda mengalirnya berkat, rahmat dan hikmat Tuhan kepada kita semua, terutama para kontributor tulisan pada buku ini. Doa yang sama juga semoga terlimpah pada para pembaca semua. Dengan berkat, rahmat dan hikmat itu kita semua mendapatkan kesempatan belajar kepada para pendahulu yang telah memberi contoh bagaimana semangat mengabdi yang dilandasi dengan penuh keikhlasan, dedikasi dan loyalitas terhadap ilmu pengetahuan, umat dan bangsa. Contoh-contoh dari mereka dapat kita jadikan bahan perenungan dan pelajaran demi untuk mengalirkan semangat inovasi di dalam kerja dan pengabdian. Para pendahulu juga telah memberi contoh tentang bagaimana memampukan diri kita semua untuk selalu bekerja dengan penuh ikhlas dalam memberikan layanan kepada rakyat, umat, bangsa dan negara. Dalam konteks buku ini, baik Menteri Agama maupun Direktur Jenderal Bimbingan Masyarakat Kristen telah memungkinkan kita semua bekerja untuk pengembangan ilmu dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, umat dan bangsa dapat berjalan seiring secara bersama-sama. Tidak ada kerja bermutu jika tidak dilandasi ilmu; tidak ada kerja yang melahirkan berkat, rahmat dan nikmat jika tidak ditujukan demi untuk memberi maslahat dan menjamin kesejahteraan masyarakat banyak. Berbagai usaha yang dilakukan selama ini di Direktorat Jenderal Bimbingan Masyarakat Kristen, baik di satuan kerja pusat maupun di satuan kerja daerah, termasuk pendidikan dasar, menengah, dan tinggi seperti PTKKN dan pembinaan masyarakat, dirancang dan untuk kepentingan ilmu sekaligus sebagai bentuk kepedulian kepada masyarakat dan umat itu. Tujuannya adalah agar bangsa ini terus tumbuh, tidak saja berlandaskan ilmu pengetahuan, tetapi yang lebih utama adalah bersumber dari nilai-nilai agama. Tidak mudah memimpin sebuah kementerian yang membidangi agama. Jika terjadi kasus-kasus buruk pada negeri ini, agama dengan mudah menjadi kambing hitam yang pertama. Salah sedikit, akan direspon publik dengan keras. Mudah disalahpahami, dikiranya kementerian ini mengurusi agama sebagai organized religion. Beruntung kita memiliki para pemimpin yang memiliki kualitas personality traits yang sangat baik. Tandanya apa? Hal itu tampak pada karakter, kharisma, sikap elegan, passion, riwayat pengabdian yang mengesankan, memiliki semangat yang terjaga, dan yang paling penting adalah sense of humor. Sejak 2014, Kementerian Agama dipimpin oleh seorang menteri dengan kualitas personality traits yang mumpuni itu. Dia adalah Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, Menteri Agama kita. Figur ini memiliki berbagai ciri kualitas di atas, terutama reputasinya sebagai menteri yang sangat humoris. Joke-joke segar dan pantun-pantun kerap mewarnai semua sambutan-sambutan resminya di hadapan publik, juga dalam relasi interpersonal, dengan para tokoh pendidik dan agama. Melalui pembawaan Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, agama menjadi memiliki nuansa yang ramah. Tokoh ini sanggup membuat semua - x - pihak merasa akrab dengan warna agama yang menyatukan dan menyegarkan. Warta tentang agama menjadi mudah dipahami, merangkul dan dengan demikian tugas kementerian agama menjadi lebih tertolong karenanya. Bapak Menteri Agama Republik Indonesia, Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, tokoh kita di dalam buku ini, segera akan mengakhiri masa baktinya pada 27 Oktober 2019. Tentu banyak prestasi selama kepemimpinannya. Umum disebut bahwa pencapaian hal monumental yang dapat diraih itu dengan sebuah legasi. Lalu, legasi apa di Kementerian Agama di bawah kepemimpinan Lukman Hakim Saifuddin? Legasi Lukman Hakim Saifuddin pada bidang tugas agama di Kementerian Agama sangat banyak. Legasi itu tentu mempengaruhi dan merupakan bagian dari rekognisi dan reputasi yang bersangkutan. Juga mempengaruhi wajah Kementerian Agama. Pembaca dapat menemukan legasi tersebut di dalam berbagai artikel pada buku ini. Artikel di dalam buku ini ditulis dengan dipengaruhi oleh berbagai pikiran yang menjadi latar belakangnya. Lukman Hakim Saifuddin sebagai Menteri Agama RI memiliki mandat untuk memimpin kementerian yang membidangi keagamaan yang di dalamnya memayungi pendidikan dan urusan agama Islam, Kristen, Katolik, Hindu, Buddha, dan Konghucu. Dalam memimpin, tentu ia memiliki visi dalam melihat mandat jabatannya, artikulasi dan orientasi kebijakan. Semua itu sangat berharga dijadikan data untuk didokumentasi sebagai bentuk apresiasi dan testimoni. Di dalam sebuah kepemimpinan selalu dapat dimaknai sebagai jawaban terhadap raison d’etre dan pembuktian terhadap janji dan kata-kata pemimpinnya. Demikian halnya

  • Indonesia | Freedom House Page 1 of 8
    Indonesia | Freedom House Page 1 of 8 Indonesia freedomhouse.org Simultaneous parliamentary elections were held in April 2014 for national, provincial, and district level parliaments, and presidential elections took place in July, all amid sporadic election-related violence and limited voting irregularities. The Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) returned to power. Golkar, the party of former president Suharto, came in second, but won fewer seats than in the past. The Democrat Party (PD) of outgoing president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (also known as SBY) lost a significant number of seats. Jakarta governor Joko Widodo (Jokowi) from the PDI-P won the presidential contest against Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) candidate and former general Prabowo Subianto. Taking office in October, Jokowi was a relative newcomer to the national political scene. In September, Indonesia’s outgoing national parliament voted to pass an election law that rolled back significant democratic reforms that had been instituted since the authoritarian years of Suharto. The new law ended regional direct elections for administrative heads (governor, district chief, and mayor), returning to indirect election by local assemblies. While the law was defended on the grounds of saving money and reducing vote buying, most political observers agree it aims to increase the power of established parties, strengthen legislative control over the executive branch, and make it more difficult for political figures outside of the traditional elite to gain office. SBY issued two government regulations in October that negated the new law; however, the new parliament must vote to retain the regulations or to reinstate the law. The new parliament, which is comprised of a large proportion of parties that defended the new law, is expected to vote on the matter in early 2015.

  • Electoral Reform, Party System Evolution and Democracy in Contemporary Indonesia
    ELECTORAL REFORM, PARTY SYSTEM EVOLUTION AND DEMOCRACY IN CONTEMPORARY INDONESIA Sarah Shair-Rosenfield A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by Jonathan Hartlyn R. William Liddle Gary Marks Andrew Reynolds Graeme Robertson © 2012 Sarah Shair-Rosenfield ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT SARAH SHAIR-ROSENFIELD: Electoral Reform, Party System Evolution and Democracy in Contemporary Indonesia (Under the direction of Jonathan Hartlyn) This dissertation examines the links between electoral reform and political party system development in new democracies where iterated reforms are increasingly common, requiring an understanding of their causes and short-term consequences. It examines this relationship in detail in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim democracy. It finds that, although the rules of the game may appear to be in flux during iterated electoral reforms, those reforms often follow a predictable dynamic and consistently demonstrate evidence of seat-maximization. Assessing how a combination of strategic and alternative motivations may affect decision- making, as well as how prior reforms constrain future reform options, is key to understanding how reforms affect the composition and shape of the ensuing party system. The dissertation employs a multi-methods approach, conducting both a large-N quantitative analysis with an original dataset of cross-national electoral reform and a case study of Indonesia. The large-N analysis includes 34 cases of electoral reform from 1950 to 2010; for the case study I draw on in-depth interviews with key reform actors, archival research, and an analysis of election outcomes from 1999-2009 to assess the relationship between electoral reform, party system change and the process of democratization in Indonesia.

  • 25 Feb 2015 Religious Pluralism and Tolerance in Jokowi's Indonesia
    ISSN 2335-6677 #10 2015 Singapore | 25 Feb 2015 Religious Pluralism and Tolerance in Jokowi’s Indonesia By Gwenaël Njoto-Feillard* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • While Indonesia has long been hailed for its tolerant form of Islam, the pluralistic model of its society has been threatened by the growth of religious intolerance, especially so during President Yudhoyono’s term. • However, the election of Joko Widodo is bringing a number of positive changes to the country’s approach to religious pluralism, in particular with the draft law on “religious harmony” meant to defend the rights of religious minorities, which will be presented to Parliament in April 2015. • Jokowi will have to rely on support from Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, the country’s two largest Islamic organisations. These experienced a “conservative turn” during the last decade, but may be in the process of adopting a more pluralist and pragmatic position. Support from these organisations is crucial to ward-off challenges of extremist groups such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI). 1 • While the President himself seems to be intent on defending the rights of religious minorities, one of the main challenges to him resides in applying the central government’s policy on the local level. *Gwenaël Njoto-Feillard is ISEAS Visiting Fellow, e-mail: [email protected] 2 INTRODUCTION For years, hate speech and repeated attacks against Indonesian Christians and Muslim sects (Ahmadiyya, Shias and more recently some Sufis) by radical groups such as the Front Pembela Islam (FPI, Islamic Defenders Front) and the Forum Umat Islam (FUI, Islamic People’s Forum) have gone largely unanswered.

  • Religious Pluralism in Indonesia Harmonious Traditions Face Challenges
    Briefing May 2016 Religious pluralism in Indonesia Harmonious traditions face challenges SUMMARY A mosaic of cultures, languages and religions, Indonesia shares not only the EU's motto (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, Unity in Diversity), but also many of its values, such as tolerance, pluralism and, since the 1998 downfall of former dictator Suharto, also democracy. With many other Muslim-majority states torn by conflicts and persecution of religious minorities, Indonesia stands out as an example of a country where different faiths are able to co-exist harmoniously. Despite this globally positive picture, there are some concerns about religious freedoms in the country. It is true that the rights of the largest minorities, such as the Christians and Hindus, are enshrined in primary and secondary legislation. On the other hand, blasphemy laws have been used to repress smaller minorities, and some recently adopted legislation reflects Islamic values. The wave of intercommunal violence which broke out after Suharto's downfall has since subsided, but occasional attacks continue against certain minorities such as Shia and Ahmadi Muslims. While the number of such incidents is very low for a country of Indonesia's size, they point to wider underlying intolerance. Over the years, the Indonesian authorities have not done enough to promote religious pluralism, sometimes showing bias against minorities. New president Joko Widodo made tolerance one of his priorities, and since he took office in 2014 his government has made some encouraging gestures. However, there are as yet no signs of real change on the ground. In this briefing: Indonesia's heterogeneous cultural mix Legislative framework for religious freedom Interreligious relations The threat of radicalisation Official responses to interreligious violence and intolerance Position of the European Parliament Main references Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Southeast Asia's largest mosque.

  • Koalisi Dan Konflik Internal Partai Politik Pada Era Reformasi
    KOALISI DAN KONFLIK INTERNAL PARTAI POLITIK PADA ERA REFORMASI Coalition and Internal Party Conflicts of Reform Era in Indonesia Lili Romli Peneliti Utama Pusat Penelitian Politik LIPI dan Staf Pengajar Departemen Ilmu Politik FISIP Universitas Indonesia Alamat email: [email protected] Naskah Diterima: 14 Agustus 2017 Naskah Direvisi: 20 November 2017 Naskah Disetujui: 20 November 2017 Abstract In this era of reform, political parties have internal conflicts. Factors causing the internal conflict, among others, are caused by coalition and opposition choices. The political parties involved in internal conflicts, some sparked divisions that led to the birth of new parties and some gave birth to double stewardship. Often organized internal conflicts of these political parties look very weak cohesiveness in the bodies of political parties. Internal conflicts in political parties also indicate how minimal institutionalization in the party body is in resolving conflicts to reach consensus. The tendency of internal conflict is not caused by differences in vision, mission and platform, and ideological party but by pragmatism on the choice of coalition of political parties in support of the presidential candidate and vice president and / or government and as well as the interests of power. Keywords: political party, factionalism, internal party conflicts, political coalition, presidential election Abstrak Pada era reformasi ini, partai politik mengalami konflik internal. Faktor yang menyebabkan konflik internal tersebut, antara lain, disebabkan oleh pilihan koalisi dan oposisi. Kecenderungan yang muncul, partai-partai politik terlibat dalam konflik internal, sebagian memunculkan perpecahan yang berujung pada lahirnya partai-partai baru dan sebagian lagi melahirkan kepengurusan ganda. Kerap munculnya konflik internal partai-partai politik tersebut memperlihatkan betapa lemahnya kohesivitas di tubuh partai-partai politik.

  • ISEAS Perspective 2015 #6
    ISSN 2335-6677 #6 2015 Singapore | 5 Feb 2015 Jokowi’s First Months: Compromise Cabinet, Subsidy Cuts, and Corrupt Coalition By Ulla Fionna* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • President Jokowi’s first months have been dominated by important policies on lifting fuel subsidies, and choosing his cabinet as well as strategic appointments. Although the cabinet demonstrated a number of ‘compromise and reward’ appointments, its ministers are nevertheless under pressure to perform. • Jokowi’s weak position in the parliament has been improved by leadership crises in the opposition. The success in retaining direct local elections (pilkada) should also bring some confidence to the minority government. • His government has managed the first major disaster – the crash of AirAsia QZ 8501 – with great care and decisiveness. His fuel subsidy policies were unpopular amongst Indonesia’s poor but observers saw it as necessary for fiscal purposes. The subsequent drop in oil prices has helped him further in lifting the subsidies completely. However, it was his cabinet line-up as well as his choices for leaders in legal and judicial institutions which have invited criticism over his clean credentials. 1 • Jokowi’s popularity is at stake as he is now caught in the middle of a rift between his coalition members and the police on one side, against the anti-corruption agency KPK on the other. *Ulla Fionna is ISEAS Fellow; e-mail: [email protected]. 2 INTRODUCTION: THE VERY SHORT HONEYMOON Burdened with high expectations on deliverables, Indonesian President Jokowi’s first few months have been hectic. The most difficult challenges anticipated at the start of his administration were: whether the cabinet would be dominated by professionals as promised; resistance from the parliamentary opposition; and his plan for an unpopular fuel price hike.
