My deepest gratitude goes first and foremost to Associate Professor Hussin Mutalib, my main supervisor, for his constant encouragement and guidance. Words cannot express my gratitude for Professor Hussin’s firm support and illuminating comments. Most importantly, without his patience with my slow writing process, this thesis could not have reached its present form. I would also like to record my heartfelt gratitude to my three co-supervisors: Dr. Kenneth Paul Tan, Dr. Jamie Davidson, and Dr. Wang Cheng-Lung, for their valuable comments and suggestions on the draft of my thesis. I particularly appreciate their tolerance of my insistence on writing this thesis my way. I am also greatly indebted to the professors at the Department of Political Science—Professor Shamsul Haque, A/P Lee Lai To, Dr. Kilkon Ko, Dr. Ethan Putterman, and Dr. Bradley Williams—for their kind words of encouragement and support during my time at NUS. I also owe my sincere gratitude to my friends and my fellow classmates Yew Chiew Ping, Ang Ming Chee, and Andy Mickey Choong, who assisted me in adapting to life in Singapore, preparing for my qualifying exams and fieldworks, as well as lending a listening ear and helping me work out my problems during the difficult course of my study.

  • The State and Illegality in Indonesia in Illegality and State the the STATE and ILLEGALITY in INDONESIA
    Edited by Edward Aspinall and Gerry van Klinken The state and illegality in Indonesia THE STATE AND ILLEGALITY IN INDONESIA The popular 1998 reformasi movement that brought down President Suharto’s regime demanded an end to illegal practices by state offi cials, from human rights abuse to nepotistic investments. Yet today, such practices have proven more resistant to reform than people had hoped. Many have said corruption in Indonesia is “entrenched”. We argue it is precisely this entrenched character that requires attention. What is state illegality entrenched in and how does it become entrenched? This involves studying actual cases. Our observations led us to rethink fundamental ideas about the nature of the state in Indonesia, especially regarding its socially embedded character. We conclude that illegal practices by state offi cials are not just aberrations to the state, they are the state. Almost invariably, illegality occurs as part of collective, patterned, organized and collaborative acts, linked to the competition for political power and access to state resources. While obviously excluding many without connections, corrupt behaviour also plays integrative and stabilizing functions. Especially at the lower end of the social ladder, it gets a lot of things done and is often considered legitimate. This book may be read as a defence of area studies approaches. Without the insights that grew from applying our area studies skills, we would still be constrained by highly stylized notions of the state, which bear little resemblance to the state’s actual workings. The struggle against corruption is a long-term political process. Instead of trying to depoliticize it, we believe the key to progress is greater popular participation.

In Indonesia, for example, the range of activities of government functionaries, the pegawai negeri in local parlance, seems to be un- limited. There are, first of all and certainly most obvious, the large number of people occupying official positions in the various ministries located in the captital city of Djakarta, ranging in each ministry from the authoritative Secretary General to the nearly powerless floor sweepers. There are the territorial administrative authorities, all under the Minister of Interna! Affairs, from provincial Governors down to the village chiefs who are electecl by their fellow villagers but who after their election receive their official appointments from the Govern- ment through their superiors in the administrative hierarchy. These territorial administrative authorities constitute the civil service who are frequently idenitified as memibers of the government bureaucracy par excellence. There are, furthermore, as in many another country, the members of the judiciary, personnel of the medical service, diplomats and consular officials of the foreign service, taxation officials, technicians engaged in the construction and maintenance of public works, employees of state enterprises, research •scientists, and a great number of instruc- tors, ranging from teachers of Kindergarten schools to university professors at the innumerable institutions of education operated by the Government in the service of the youthful sectors of the population.

The Editors On September 4,1991, President Soeharto issued Presidential Decree No. 39/1991, announcing the formation of the Team for the Coordination of Management of Offshore Commercial Loans (Tim Koordinasi Pengelolaan Pinjaman Komersial Luar Negeri, or Tim PKLN). It consisted of ten ministers and the governor of the Bank of Indonesia and was headed by Coordinating Minister for Economy, Finance, Industry, and Development Super­ vision, Radius Prawiro. The Team was to coordinate the management of all offshore com­ mercial loans outside the framework of the IGGI and other official loans, to determine the total amount of offshore commercial loans to be procured from the international capital market in each fiscal year, and to decide the priority order of offshore commercial loans for financing development projects and other purposes.1 In short, the team was created for debt management to bring expanding offshore commercial loans under control. About a month later, on October 12,1991, after the Team met with Soeharto, Coordi­ nating Minister Radius Prawiro announced that it had set ceilings for offshore commercial borrowing by the Bank of Indonesia, state banks, private banks, state corporations, and private corporations, and that it had decided to approve three out of the seven large projects already in the pipeline for implementation in the 1991/92 fiscal year.
