    Indonesia (Republic Of)

    Indonesia (Republic of) Last updated: 31-01-2004 Location and area Indonesia is an island republic and largest nation of South East Asia, stretching across some 5,000 km and with a north-south spread of about 2,000 km. The republic shares the island of Borneo with Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam; Indonesian Borneo, equivalent to about 75 per cent of the island, is called Kalimantan. The western half of New Guinea is the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya (formerly West Irian); the eastern half is part of Papua New Guinea. The marine frontiers of Indonesia include the South China Sea, the Celebes Sea, and the Pacific Ocean to the north, and the Indian Ocean to the south and west. Indonesia has a land area of 1,904,443 km2. (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2002). According to Geoanalytics (www.geoanalytics.com/bims/bims.htm) the land area of Indonesia comprises 1,919,663 km2. Topography Indonesia comprises 13,677 islands on both sides of the equator, 6,000 of which are inhabited. Kalimantan and Irian Jaya, together with Sumatra (also called Sumatera), Java (Jawa), and Celebes (Sulawesi) are the largest islands and, together with the insular provinces of Kalimantan and Irian Jaya, account for about 95 per cent of its land area. The smaller islands, including Madura, Timor, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, and Bali predominantly form part of island groups. The Moluccas (Maluku) and the Lesser Sunda Islands (Nusatenggara) are the largest island groups. The Java, Flores, and Banda seas divide the major islands of Indonesia into two unequal strings. The comparatively long, narrow islands of Sumatra, Java, Timor (in the Nusatenggara group), and others lie to the south; Borneo, Celebes, the Moluccas, and New Guinea lie to the north.

    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University.

Six case studies on soil formation in Indonesia are presented, preceded by a general paper commenting on suitability for cultivation and problems of classification, and by a paper on soil classification in Indonesia. The case studies comprised soils on andesitic volcanic material between 100 and 1000 m altitude (West and East Java), on granodiorite (West Kalimantan), on acid volcanic tuffs (West Sumatra), on felsic sedimentary and metamorphic rocks (south-east Sulawesi) and on ultramafic rocks (South-East Sulawesi). Detailed analysis of soils, ranging from Oxic and Typic Dystropepts through Alfisols and Ultisols to Acrorthox and Eutrorthox, are included.

  • Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia

    Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia

    Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia As the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia is marked by an extraordinary diversity of languages, traditions, cultures, and religions. Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia focuses on Dani Christians of West Papua, providing a social and ethnographic history of the most important indigenous population in the troubled province. It presents a captivating overview of the Dani conversion to Christianity, examining the social, religious, and political uses to which they have put their new religion. Farhadian provides the first major study of a highland Papuan group in an urban context, which distinguishes it from the typical highland Melanesian ethnography. Incorporating cultural and structural approaches, the book affords a fascinating look into the complex relationship among Christianity, Islam, nation making, and indigenous traditions. Based on research over many years, Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia offers an abundance of new material on religious and political events in West Papua. The book underlines the heart of Christian–Muslim rivalries, illuminating the fate of religion in late-modern times. Charles E.

Mar 1952 - Indonesian Proposal for Abolition of Statute of Union. - Protest against Proposed Revision of Netherlands Constitution. - Rejection by Netherlands Government. - The Hague Discussions on Statute of Union and the New Guinea Question. - Suspension of Discussions. - Australian Attitude to New Guinea Dispute. Discussions between the Indonesian and Netherlands Governments on the revision of the Netherlands-Indonesian Union and the future of Western (Dutch) New Guinea took place in The Hague from Jan. 15-Feb. 29. The proposal that the Statute of Union, signed in November, 1949, should be replaced by a “normal international treaty” had been put forward by the Indonesian Government some months earlier, and had formed the subject of informal discussions in August, 1951. Professor Supomo, the Indonesian representative in the earlier talks, stated on Aug. 16, in explanation of his Government's proposal, that although Indonesia did not intend to break off co- operation with the Netherlands, the Union Statute had proved to be “a form of co-operation which the Indonesian people find it difficult to accept”; that, being regarded as “a vestige of colonial rule,” the Statute provided a “weapon to Communists and other extremists”; and that no Indonesian Government which supported it could win the people's confidence. The opening of the negotiations was delayed by certain disagreements between the two Governments. The Indonesian Government protested in November, 1951, against a proposed revision of the Constitution of the Netherlands which it interpreted as implying the incorporation of Western New Guinea into the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, whilst the Netherlands Government in turn protested in December against the Indonesian Government's seizure of cargoes of arms intended for New Guinea.
