  • 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.

  • Burning And/Or Sinking Foreign Fishing Vessels Conducting Illegal Fishing in Indonesia Some Obligations and Loopholes
    asia-pacific journal of ocean law and policy 2 (2017) 174-179 brill.com/apoc Burning and/or Sinking Foreign Fishing Vessels Conducting Illegal Fishing in Indonesia Some Obligations and Loopholes Zaki Mubarok Busro PhD Candidate, Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security, University of Wollongong [email protected] Indonesia’s abundant marine resources attract not only Indonesian fishermen but also nationals from other countries who fish in maritime zones under In- donesia’s national jurisdiction. When these national and foreign fishermen un- dertake unauthorized fishing operations in Indonesian waters, they are guilty of illegal fishing under Indonesian law. The Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudiastuti revealed national data on the illegal operations of foreign vessels and stated that on some days, “over 70 vessels of 50 to 70 gross tons entered Indonesian waters”.1 According to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (mmaf) Indonesia suffers annual losses amounting to around Rp. 101 trillion (us$ 8.8 million) due to illegal fishing activities including not only losses of tax revenue for the State and income for local fishermen but also the abuse of fuel subsidies.2 Illegal fishermen use fuel allocated for autho- rized Indonesian fishermen and subsidized by the Indonesian Government.3 In order to avoid paying taxes on harvests, illegal fishermen will use counterfeit licenses. These fishermen also employ destructive fishing gears leading to the decline of catch for local fishermen.4 1 Sunan J.

    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Critical Asian Studies Review in March 2015, available online: http://criticalasianstudies.org/issues/vol47/no1/contesting-tobacco-control-policy-in- indonesia.html Contesting Tobacco Control Policy in Indonesia by Andrew Rosser University of Adelaide [email protected] Submitted to Critical Asian Studies October 2014 Draft Only. Not for citation. Abstract Over the past decade and a half, the Indonesian government has progressed fitfully and inconsistently towards a stricter tobacco control policy regime albeit without much impact on the country’s worsening tobacco epidemic. The author explains this pattern of reform in terms of the unequal but changing relationship of power between tobacco companies and tobacco farmers, on the one hand, and tobacco control advocates based in NGOs, health professional organizations, universities and international organizations, on the other. The first of these coalitions has had greater structural leverage, better political connections, stronger organizational capacity, greater ability to mobilize popular forces, and more capacity to cultivate a positive public image. But the second coalition has been able to exercise some influence over policy because of changes wrought by democratization. Looking to the future, the author suggests that further progress in Indonesia’s tobacco control policies will be contingent upon an ongoing process of struggle; however, there are signs that the tide is turning in favor of the second coalition. Acknowledgements I wish to thank the Australian Research Council for funding this article through grant number FT110100078 and three anonymous reviewers for their comments on an earlier draft.

Banyak catatan penting terkait isu jurnalistik maupun perkembangan media nasional dan global sepanjang tahun 2014-2015. Ada kabar baik dan ada kabar yang kurang meng- gembirakan. Kabar baiknya adalah media di Indonesia terus tumbuh mengikuti perkembangan teknologi yang mendorong perubahan besar-besaran dalam cara mengakses informasi. Masyarakat semakin lengket dengan gawai dalam mencari informasi. Informasi semakin mudah dan murah didapat, cukup melalui genggaman tangan. Masyarakat tidak hanya sebagai penikmat informasi, namun juga menjadi sumber informasi. Teknologi Internet telah mengubah cara memproduksi berita atau menyampaikan pesan ke publik. Kabar kurang menggembirakannya, teknologi ini menimbulkan kerentanan baru. Batas-batas kebebasan masyarakat menyampaikan pendapat dipertanyakan. Ruang publik yang muncul dari teknologi Internet (hendak) dibatasi melalui regulasi.
