Empowering the Presidency: Interests and Perceptions in Indonesia’S Constitutional Reforms, 1999-2002 EMPOWERING THE PRESIDENCY: INTERESTS AND PERCEPTIONS IN INDONESIA’S CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS, 1999-2002 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Blair Andrew King, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor R. William Liddle, Adviser Professor Richard Gunther ____________________________ Adviser Professor Timothy Frye Political Science Graduate Program ABSTRACT The choice of political institutions is a critical aspect of a democratic transition. Significant amendments to the 1945 Constitution have transformed it into a more democratic framework with extensive separation of powers and checks and balances. Despite the introduction of the “difficult combination” of pure presidentialism and multipartism to Indonesia, consensual patterns of elite behavior should contribute to the further consolidation of democracy. This study examines the impact of the first four amendments on executive- legislative relations and presidential power. The use of the 1945 Constitution by two authoritarian regimes for four decades gave rise to the perception that it inevitably created a dominant presidency. Thus Indonesian political elites set out in 1999 to curtail presidential power. Paradoxically, by the end of the process three years later they created a comparatively very powerful president, primarily due to the introduction of direct election and the narrowing of the grounds for impeachment. In addition, although the president’s residual powers have been restricted, only slight reductions were made in her specific powers. This study utilizes concepts from political economy and political psychology to analyze the struggle between two broad camps in the constituent assembly (MPR): conservatives, led by Megawati Soekarnoputri and her Indonesian Democracy ii Party-Struggle (PDI-P) and progressives from most of the other major political parties. The progressives consistently supported direct election, even though this did not fit with their self-interest. Their position is explained by their perceptions of Indonesia’s history: in their view, the parliamentary system was the primary cause of political instability in the 1950s, and thus they concluded that pure presidentialism was more appropriate for Indonesia. Following the presidential crisis of 2001, Megawati and PDI-P reversed their initial position in opposition to direct election, as a means to strengthen the presidency and abolish the constitutional supremacy of the MPR. This reversal is explained by the “electoral bargaining approach,” a theory of institutional choice developed based on cases in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Latin America. This approach examines the interests of competing political forces rooted in their bargaining power and varying degrees of uncertainty over political outcomes. * * * * * iii Dedicated to my family and to all those working for democracy in Indonesia iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work is the culmination of many years of study and research. No project of this magnitude comes to fruition without the help of others. I would like to begin by recognizing the courage of the Indonesian university students who decided in 1998 that enough was enough and took to the streets across the country to bring about an end to President Soeharto’s authoritarian New Order. The professors and university administrators who quietly supported their demonstrations from behind the scenes should be commended as well. Without their efforts, the transition to democracy would not have taken place when it did and I would have written a very different dissertation. I would also like to express my gratitude to my Indonesian sources, especially MPR members, who have shared their perspectives with me over the past several years. The year I spent in Yogyakarta in 1998 conducting field research was supported by a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad grant. I would like to thank the U.S. Department of Education for the financial support, and Gadjah Mada University and Professor Mohtar Mas’oed for the institutional and intellectual support, that allowed me to return to Indonesia just in time to witness history in the making. I then had the privilege to work at the Indonesia field office of the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) for two years, which allowed me to observe the transition as it continued to unfold. Among the many colleagues I had the pleasure to work with at v NDI in Indonesia, Tursiana Setyohapsari and Miranti Maruto provided invaluable assistance and friendship, and Eric Bjornlund, Andrew Ellis and Sherrie Wolff were tireless intellectual soulmates and sources of frequent moral support. Since I returned to NDI in the Washington office, Peter Manikas has generously offered much-needed encouragement as well as the time off necessary to finish. I have also had the distinct pleasure of being a graduate student in a very nurturing intellectual environment, the political science department at Ohio State University. I have learned a great deal from my fellow students, of whom there are too many to name individually. Kathleen Woodward and Allyson Lowe, however, deserve special mention for their role as “comrades in arms” as we struggled together to finish our dissertations. Professors Dick Gunther and Tim Frye, and Kevin O’Brien before them, have offered many insightful comments and frequent words of encouragement over the years. I am much the richer for their intellectual and personal friendship. Bill Liddle has been much more than a dissertation adviser. He has also been a mentor, intellectual sparring partner, and friend. I have learned a great deal from him about Indonesia, about politics and about life. In addition, the group of (mostly) Indonesian students – both previous generations and my contemporaries – that Bill has mentored at OSU has been a great source of insight and companionship. In addition to those already mentioned above, Salim Said, Afan Gaffar, Bahtiar Effendy, Rizal Mallarangeng, Takeshi Kohno, Denny J. Aly and Saiful Mujani deserve special mention in this regard. I owe a special debt of gratitude to my wife Erlis, to my parents Ken and Joan, and to my brother Ken, who have suffered in silence (mostly) while I have labored to vi finish. Their love and support has sustained me through the valleys of despair and self- doubt. Finally, my two sons, Austin and Carter, have – on a daily basis – unwittingly helped me keep this project in perspective. I love them dearly for failing to understand the importance of Daddy staying in the office for one more hour. Guess what, boys, I’m done! * * * * * vii VITA December 1, 1966 .

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.

  • Vice President's Power and Role in Indonesian Government Post Amendment 1945 Constitution
    Al WASATH Jurnal Ilmu Hukum Volume 1 No. 2 Oktober 2020: 61-78 VICE PRESIDENT'S POWER AND ROLE IN INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT POST AMENDMENT 1945 CONSTITUTION Roziqin Guanghua Law School, Zhejiang University, China Email: [email protected] Abstract Politicians are fighting over the position of Vice President. However, after becoming Vice President, they could not be active. The Vice President's role is only as a spare tire. Usually, he would only perform ceremonial acts. The exception was different when the Vice President was Mohammad Hata and Muhammad Jusuf Kalla. Therefore, this paper will question: What is the position of the President in the constitutional system? What is the position of the Vice President of Indonesia after the amendment of the 1945 Constitution? Furthermore, how is the role sharing between the President and Vice President of Indonesia? This research uses the library research method, using secondary data. This study uses qualitative data analysis methods in a prescriptive-analytical form. From the research, the writer found that the President is assisted by the Vice President and ministers in carrying out his duties. The President and the Vice President work in a team of a presidential institution. From time to time, the Indonesian Vice President's position has always been the same to assist the President. The Vice President will replace the President if the President is permanently unavailable or temporarily absent. With the Vice President's position who is directly elected by the people in a pair with the President, he/she is a partner, not subordinate to the President.

Roosevelt's court-packing initiative was highly visible and the reaction to it violent and widespread. It came to an abrupt and dramatic end, some said as the result of Divine intervention, when Senator Joseph T.

  • The National Popular Vote Plan and Direct Election of the President: an FAQ What Is the National Popular Vote Plan? the National
    The National Popular Vote Plan and Direct Election of the President: An FAQ What is the National Popular Vote plan? The National Popular Vote plan (NPV) is a statute that, as of April 2009, had been introduced by state legislators in 48 states and publicly committed to be introduced in the remaining two states. NPV seeks to guarantee election of the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It creates an agreement among states to award all of their electoral votes collectively to the presidential candidate winning the national popular vote once the number of participating states together have a majority (currently 270 of 538) of electoral votes. In considering the NPV bill, the choice for legislators is straightforward: passing NPV will guarantee election of the national popular vote winner once joined by enough participating states to make it decisive for determining future elections. Until that point, a state’s current rules will apply. The NPV plan is founded on two state powers clearly established in the U.S. Constitution: a state’s plenary power to decide how to apportion its electoral votes and a state’s power to enter into binding interstate compacts. As of April 2009, New Jersey, Hawaii, Maryland, and Illinois – which together possess a fifth of the total electoral votes necessary to trigger the agreement – have enacted the NPV compact. It has been adopted by a total of 26 state legislative chambers in 16 states, earning public support from nearly 1,300 legislators and national luminaries like the editorial boards of the New York Times and Los Angeles Times and former U.S.

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.
