Thanks are due to the many people I have had the good fortune to interact with both professionally and in my personal life. While the responsibility for the views expressed in this work rests solely with me, I owe a great debt of gratitude to many people and institutions. First, I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Priyambudi Sulistiyanto, who was my principal supervisor before he transferred to Flinders University in Australia. He has inspired my research on Islamic political parties in Southeast Asia since the beginning of my studies at NUS. After he left Singapore he patiently continued to give me advice and to guide me in finishing my thesis. Thanks go to him for his insightful comments and frequent words of encouragement. After the departure of Dr. Priyambudi, Prof. Reynaldo C. Ileto, who was a member of my thesis committee from the start of my doctoral studies in NUS, kindly agreed to take over the task of supervision. He has been instrumental in the development of my academic career because of his intellectual stimulation and advice throughout.

However, I the celebration is disturbed with the dispute among members of the parliament (DPR), which is divided into two coalitions, the People’s Coalition supporting Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the National Coalition as the opposition. The disagreement in the parliament was foreseeable the moment the National Coalition was established back in September to support the candidacy of the incumbent Megawati Sukarnoputri, as five major and medium-sized parties joined forces to support Megawati in the presidential election. The two coalitions are now fighting for positions in the DPR commission leadership. It has been more than one month since members of the parliament were sworn in on October 1, 2004. However, not much has been accomplished by the DPR, because the commissions have not yet been confirmed. In fact, the creation of the commissions itself was the main trigger to the dispute between the two coalitions.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Pemilihan Umum Atau
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Pemilihan umum atau pemilu menjadi salah satu indikator dari keberhasilan sebuah negara demokrasi. Dikebanyakan negara demokrasi, pemilihan umum dianggap lambang, sekaligus tolak ukur dari tingkat partisipasi politik masyarakat. Hasil pemilihan umum yang diselenggarakan dalam suasana keterbukaan dengan kebebasan berpendapat dan kebebasan berserikat, dianggap mencerminkan dengan agak akurat partisipasi serta aspirasi masyarakat.1 Di Indonesia memiliki dua bentuk pemilihan yaitu pemilihan umum legislatif ditingkat pusat maupun daerah, dan pemilihan umum eksekutif untuk Presiden dan kepala daerah. Pemilihan Kepala Daerah yang lebih dikenal Pilkada menjadi konsensus politik nasional yang merupakan salah satu instrument penting penyelenggaraan pemerintahan setelah digulirkannya otonomi daerah di Indonesia. Indonesia telah melaksanakan Pilkada secara langsung sejak diberlakukannya Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2004 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah. Hal ini apabila dilihat dari perspektif desentralisasi, Pilkada langsung merupakan sebuah terobosan baru yang bermakna bagi proses konsolidasi demokrasi ditingkat lokal.2 Pilkada ditujukan sebagai perwujudan kedaulatan rakyat serta menunjukkan demokrasi 1 Miriam Budiardjo, “Dasar-Dasar Ilmu Politik”.

The study applied a descriptive model by applying mixing methods; qualitative and quantitative. The research data were obtained from Padang Ekspress, Singgalang, and Haluan print media. Following the research orientation, the data were collected from the August-November 2015 issues. Various characteristics of Irwan Prayitno’s leadership Indonesian Journal of EFL and Linguistics, 5(1), 2020 1 Hetti Waluati Triana, et al were reported with different patterns in each mass media. The differences were influenced by the practice of discourse and social practices that underlie the emergence of news. From the perspective of discourse practice, although each editor in chief emphasized the independence of media in politics, they did not deny that the owners of each media had a close relationship with certain political figures, including Irwan Prayitno.

  • Militant Islam in Southeast Asia Crucible of Terror
    EXCERPTED FROM Militant Islam in Southeast Asia Crucible of Terror Zachary Abuza Copyright © 2003 ISBNs: 1-58826-212-X hc 1-58826-237-5 pb 1800 30th Street, Ste. 314 Boulder, CO 80301 USA telephone 303.444.6684 fax 303.444.0824 This excerpt was downloaded from the Lynne Rienner Publishers website www.rienner.com i CHAPTER 1 Al-Qaida and Radical Islam in Southeast Asia SLAM IN SOUTHEAST ASIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN DEFINED BY TOLERANCE, MODERATION, Iand pluralism. Most of the Muslim inhabitants of Southeast Asia support the secular state and eschew the violence and literal interpretations of Islam that have plagued their South Asian and Middle Eastern co-religionists. Only a small minority advocates the establishment of Islamic regimes gov- erned by sharia, law based on the Quran. There have always been Muslim militants in the region, but the conventional wisdom holds that these mili- tants were focused on their own domestic agenda. As one of the most noted U.S. scholars on Southeast Asian security wrote: “Southeast Asian terrorist groups are essentially home grown and not part of an international terrorist network, although individual members may have trained with Al-Qaida in Afghanistan.”1 That analysis is naïve and underestimates the degree to which radical Islamists in Southeast Asia have linked up with transnational terrorist organizations like Al-Qaida. Academics and policymakers have been loath to come to terms with the growing threat of radical Islamicism in Southeast Asia. The devastating attack on a Balinese nightclub on October 12, 2002, in which some 202 people (mainly Australian tourists) were killed, was a wake-up call to governments in denial and skeptics in the region.
