October 2013 Abstract How democratisation affects a state's foreign policy is a relatively neglected problem in International Relations. In Indonesia's case, there is a limited, but growing, body of literature examining the country's foreign policy in the post- authoritarian context. Yet this scholarship has tended to focus on the role of Indonesia's legislature and civil society organisations as newly-empowered foreign policy actors. Scholars of Southeast Asian politics, meanwhile, have concentrated on the effects of Indonesia's democratisation on regional integration and, in particular, on ASEAN cohesion and its traditional sovereignty-based norms. For the most part, the literature has completely ignored the effects of democratisation on Indonesia's foreign ministry – the principal institutional actor responsible for foreign policy formulation and conduct of Indonesia's diplomacy. Moreover, the effect of Indonesia's democratic transition on key bilateral relationships has received sparse treatment in the literature. -
Indonesian Technocracy in Transition: a Preliminary Analysis*
Indonesian Technocracy in Transition: A Preliminary Analysis* Shiraishi Takashi** Indonesia underwent enormous political and institutional changes in the wake of the 1997–98 economic crisis and the collapse of Soeharto’s authoritarian regime. Yet something curious happened under President Yudhoyono: a politics of economic growth has returned in post-crisis decentralized, democratic Indonesia. The politics of economic growth is politics that transforms political issues of redistribution into problems of output and attempts to neutralize social conflict in favor of a consensus on growth. Under Soeharto, this politics provided ideological legitimation to his authoritarian regime. The new politics of economic growth in post-Soeharto Indo- nesia works differently. Decentralized democracy created a new set of conditions for doing politics: social divisions along ethnic and religious lines are no longer suppressed but are contained locally. A new institutional framework was also cre- ated for the economic policy-making. The 1999 Central Bank Law guarantees the independence of the Bank Indonesia (BI) from the government. The Law on State Finance requires the government to keep the annual budget deficit below 3% of the GDP while also expanding the powers of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) at the expense of National Development Planning Agency. No longer insulated in a state of political demobilization as under Soeharto, Indonesian technocracy depends for its performance on who runs these institutions and the complex political processes that inform their decisions and operations. Keywords: Indonesia, technocrats, technocracy, decentralization, democratization, central bank, Ministry of Finance, National Development Planning Agency At a time when Indonesia is seen as a success story, with its economy growing at 5.9% on average in the post-global financial crisis years of 2009 to 2012 and performing better * I would like to thank Caroline Sy Hau for her insightful comments and suggestions for this article. -

The end of cessation of war set forth in the Treaties of Westphalia communism in the Soviet Union and other countries has in 1648. National security was defined as an effort been described as the triumph of democracy throughout the world, which quickly led to claims that there is now a aimed at maintaining the integrity of a territory the right to democracy as guide principles in international state and freedom to determine the form of self- law. In Indonesia, attention to the notion of democracy government. However, with global developments and developed very rapidly in the late 1990s. In Indonesia, after 32 years of President Suharto’s authoritarian increasingly complex relations between countries and regime from 1966 to 1998, Indonesia finally began the the variety of threats faced by countries in the world, democratization phase in May 1998. It worth noting that the formulation and practice of security Indonesia has experienced four different periods of implementation tend to be achieved together different government and political systems since its (collective security) becomes an important reference independent, and all those stage of systems claim to be for countries in the world. -

Michael Malley
T he 7th D evelopment Cabinet: Loyal to a Fault? Michael Malley Five years ago, amid speculation that B. J. Habibie and his allies in the Association of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) would gain a large number of seats in the cabinet, State Secretary Moerdiono announced that "expertise" would be Soeharto's chief criterion for choosing ministers. This year, despite the economic crisis that enveloped the country, few people even thought to suggest that Soeharto sought the most technically qualified assistants. As the outgoing cabinet's term wore to a close, the jockeying for influence among ministers and their would-be successors emphasized the most important qualification of any who would join the new cabinet: loyalty. As if to diminish any surprise at the lengths he would go to create a cabinet of loyalists, Soeharto fired his central bank chief, Soedradjad Djiwandono, in mid- February, just two weeks before the 6 ^ Development Cabinet's term expired. Together with the finance minister, Mar'ie Muhammad, Soedradjad had worked closely with the International Monetary Fund to reach the reform-for-aid agreements Soeharto signed in October 1997 and January this year. Their support for reforms that would strike directly at palace-linked business interests seems to have upset the president, and neither were expected to retain their posts in the 7 ^ Cabinet. But Soedradjad made the further mistake of opposing the introduction of a currency board system to fix the rupiah's value to that of the US dollar. The scheme's main Indonesian proponents were Fuad Bawazier, one of Mar'ie's subordinates, and Peter Gontha, the principal business adviser to Soeharto's son Bambang Trihatmodjo. -

It was regretfully not possible for me to accept at the time. I definitely look forward to visiting your great country, however, and to the opportunity to understand your culture and your people better. I want to see with my . own eyes the outstanding progress that you have made in .- lndonesia.

Backlash Against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’S Experience
Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Dongsheng Zang, Chair John O. Haley Melissa Durkee Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Law ©Copyright 2017 Herliana ii University of Washington Abstract Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Dongsheng Zang School of Law This study investigates Indonesia’s changing attitude from embracing to repudiating foreign direct investments. Opened its door for foreign investment in the late of 1960s and enjoyed significant economic growth as the result, the country suddenly changed its foreign investment policy in 2012 to be more protectionist towards domestic investors and skeptical towards foreign investors. The essential issues to be discussed in this research are: what motivates Indonesia to move away from global investment regime; what actions the country has taken as manifestation of resentment against the regime; and who are the actors behind such a backlash. This is a qualitative study which aims at gaining a deep understanding of a legal development of Indonesia’s foreign investment. It aims to provide explanation of the current phenomenon taking place in the country. Data were collected through interviews and documents. This research reveals that liberalization of foreign investment law has become the major cause of resentment towards the foreign investment. Liberalization which requires privatization and openness toward foreign capital has failed to deliver welfare to the Indonesian people. Instead, foreign investors have pushed local business players, especially small and medium enterprises, out of the market. -
1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1. Latar Belakang Negara Merupakan Suatu
BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1. Latar Belakang Negara merupakan suatu wilayah yang dihuni oleh sekelompok manusia dan diakui oleh negara lain serta ditopang oleh sistem yang ada. Berdiri tegaknya suatu negara sangat dipengaruhi oleh kekuatan militer dan kekuatan sipil. Karena selain dibutuhkan ketahanan negara, sistem pemerintahan pun sangat dibutuhkan untuk mempertahankan sistem yang ada di dalamnya sehingga negara itu menjadi negara yang berdaulat. Kepala negara merupakan simbol negara, selain itu perdana menteri merupakan kepala pemerintahan di dalam negara itu sendiri. Pada masa Orde Baru, pemerintahan dipimpin oleh Soeharto. Soeharto pada masa kepimpinanannya memberlakukan asas tunggal yaitu hanya ideologi pancasila yang boleh berkembang sedangkan ideologi lain tidak boleh berkembang karena di khawatirkan menganggu stabilitas Negara seperti pada pemerintahan sebelumnya. Pada masa pemerintahannya, Soeharto membuat 3 kekuatan yaitu ABRI, Birokrasi dan Golkar (Rahmah, 2016, hlm. 1). Selain itu, kursi-kursi pemerintahan diisi oleh orang-orang terdekat serta merupakan kepercayaan Soeharto, salah satunya adalah Sudharmono. Sudharmono merupakan seorang kepercayaan Soeharto, sehingga Sudharmono dapat mengetahui pikiran Soeharto. Kedekatan ini dibuktikan dengan pekerjaan-pekerjaan serta jabatan yang diperoleh oleh Sudharmono. Sudharmono dipercaya oleh Soeharto untuk mengisi jabatan tinggi dalam pemerintahan, salah satunya adalah menjabat sebagai Ketua Umum Golongan Karya masa periode 1983-1988. Sudharmono lebih dikenal dengan sebutan Pak Dhar. Sudharmono -

Forgetting what it was to Remember The Indonesian Killings of 1965 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY from UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG Robert W. Goodfellow BA (hons) DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY 2003 Ul Synopsis The personal trauma associated with the intense violence that engulfed Indonesia between October and December 1965 is not enough to explain how an open and documented history of the killings was silenced for over 33 years. Likewise, the New Order government's political and military power to suppress competing historical accounts cannot fully elucidate this enduring silence. History is a story about who controls the means of historical consciousness as well as the production of narratives. Therefore, part of the answer of what enabled the forgetting of the Indonesian killings can be found in an examination of the Suharto regime's propaganda project. -

250 the Practice of Presidential Succession in Indonesia Dian Aries
The Practice of Presidential Succession in Indonesia Dian Aries Mujiburohman* DOI: https://doi.org/10.22304/pjih.v7n2.a6 Submitted: July 21, 2020 | Accepted: August 31, 2020 Abstract This study analyzed Article 8 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia on the presidential succession in Indonesia. The 1945 Constitution clearly regulates presidential and vice-presidential election period for once in five years. However, the practice of presidential succession can be unpredictable. This article aims to elaborate the management of presidential succession in Indonesia. The study in this article employed normative research method by applying a statute approach. The finding of the study proves that based on Article 8 of the 1945 Constitution; there are four circumstances of presidential substitutions. They are decease, resignation, dismissal, and inability to carry out duties. However, in the actual practices that have been happened several times, the presidential successions in Indonesia were not always caused by the four conditions. The examples are the successions of Soekarno, Soeharto, and Abdurrahman Wahid. The three Presidents were dismissed without transparent legal reasons. Their dismissals were based merely on political decisions, not legal reasons. In addition, political transitions, internal conflicts, and economic crises contributed to the presidential successions in Indonesia. Keywords: presidential succession, the office of president, 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Praktik Pergantian Jabatan Presiden di Indonesia Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisis Pasal 8 Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia (UUD NRI 1945) terkait dengan pergantian presiden di Indonesia.
