Tez Danışmanı : Doç. Dr. Bülent ŞENAY BAĞIMSIZLIK SONRASI ENDONEZYA’DA HRİSTİYAN MİSYONERLİĞİ Endonezya takımadalarındaki Hristiyan misyonu faaliyetleri çoğrafya keşifler ile birlikte, on beşinci yüzyılda Portekiz ve Hollanda’nın Güneydoğu Asya'ya gelmesi ile başlamıştır. Portekiz ve Hollanda gemilerle gelen misyonerler tarafından gerçekleştirilen Hristiyan misyonu, İslam'ı yüzyıl önce benimsemiş krallarla karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Bu sebeple zamanla Hristiyanlık, sömürgecilik ile özdeşleşmiş ve sömürge dini olarak imaj kazanmıştır. Dahası, Hollanda sömürge hükümeti, İslami faaliyetlere yardım etmeyi göz ardı ederken, Hristiyan faaliyetlerinin surdurmesıne destek vermeyi devam etmiştir. Hollanda hükümeti, bu iki dinin catışmasına sebeb olmuştur. Yüzyıllarca süren bu itiraz ve ayrımcılık, Endonezya bağımsızlığını kazandıktan sonra da devam edegelmiştir. Dolayısıyla hükümetin toplumsal ve siyasal alanda aldığı çeşitli kararlar, her iki din arasındaki çatışmanın potansiyelini artırmaktadır. Fakat son dönemde, uzun suredir ıhmal edılmiş çatışma problemi hafifletmek için Endonezya hükümeti çeşitli faaliyetler başlatmıştır. Ayrıca Dinler arası çatışmanın temel sebebi kendi dinlerini yaymada karşılıklı saygı eksikliği olmasıdır. Bazı Müslüman gruplar iii tarafından, çatışmanın ekseni Hristiyan misyonerliğin oldugunu düşünülürken; bazı Hristiyan gruplar tarafından ise Müslüman gruplarının politik kıskançlığından dolayı Endonezya'da özgürlük ve hoşgörü ilkelerine zarar verdiklerini düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Endonezya'daki Hristiyan misyonerliğinin tarihsel gelişimine dayanan veriler sunulup; Hristiyan misyonerliğin reform sonrasına kadar çözülmeyen sorunlar ve devam eden dinlerarası çatışmalarla ilgili konuları değinilecektir. Endonezya'daki Müslümanlar ve Hıristiyanlar arasındaki çatışmaların sebebi sadece misyonun kendisi değil, siyaset, ekonomi ve iç-dış politikalar gibi başka faktörlerin dahil olduğunu açıklanacaktır.

Prof. Dr. Bülent ŞENAY CHRISTIAN MISSION IN POST-INDEPENDENCE INDONESIA The arrival of Portuguese and Dutch to Southeast Asia in the fifteenth century as part of a new world quest also became the beginning of the Christian mission in the Indonesian archipelago. The Christian mission carried out by missionaries who came with the Portuguese and Dutch ships faced resistance from the rulers who had embraced Islam a century earlier. Christianity gradually identified with colonialism, and it forms a new image of Christianity as a colonial religion. Moreover, the colonial government continued to support Christian activities, while ignoring aid to Islamic activities. The Dutch government has led to conflicts between these two religions. This contestation that lasted for hundreds of years made an impact on the relationship between these two religions after Indonesia gained its independence. Accompanied by various decisions of the new order government in the social and political sphere, the potential of conflict among adherents of both religions is increasingly ignited. In the end, the government began to take various approaches to mitigate the conflict that has long been abandoned. Various accusations are raised, which pursue the conclusion that the primary source of inter-religious conflict is the lack of mutual respect in spreading their respective religions. By some Muslim groups, v Christian mission is considered as the axis of conflict; whereas by some Christian groups, political jealousy of Muslim groups is considered to harm the principles of freedom and tolerance in Indonesia. In this study, the author presents data based on the historical development of Christian mission in Indonesia and how Christian missionary related to the interreligious conflicts which continue to be unresolved problems, even until the post- reform era. The authors found that the conflicts between Muslims and Christians in Indonesia occurred not only because of the mission itself. But, there are other factors such as politics, economics, and internal-external policies.

According to the latest census of 2010, 87.18% of Indonesia's 237,641,326 are Muslim, 6.96% Protestant, 2.9% Catholic, 1.69% Hindu, 0.72% Buddhist, 0.05% Kong Hu Cu, 0.13% other religions, and 0.38% missed or unasked.1 On the other hand, Christians in Indonesia experienced the fastest growth, from 7.39% to 8.92% by the end of 2000. This growth is even faster than the growth of Indonesian population, which is 1.83%.2 Christianization in the archipelago began for the arrival of Francis Xavier to the islands of Maluku in the early 16th century along with the arrival of Portuguese to Indonesia. Then in the 17th century, Protestants began to come together with the Dutch and became the majority Christianity in Indonesia until now. The process of Christianization in Indonesia was not without problems, because Islam has existed long before as the majority religion of Indonesia, especially in Java. The resistance between the colonial government and the indigenous people gradually became the opposition between Christianity and Islam. As a result, the inter-religious strife has become a continuing conflict even though the Dutch themselves have left Indonesia. Therefore, it is worthy to examine the main problem that causes this protracted interreligious conflict. With the title "Christian mission in post-independence Indonesia", I emphasize some important points of discussion which are: 1) that Christian mission is an important point - if not to be regarded as the source of the problem - for the continuation of conflict between Muslims and Christians; 2) the spread of religion (both Christian and Islam) is a conflict-prone sector; 3) the period after Indonesian independence was a very "free moment”, in which all elements of the nation of

  • INDONESIA Paying the Price for “Stability”
    INDONESIA Paying the price for “stability” Introduction Indonesia is experiencing its most serious political and economic crisis since the current government came to power in 1966. The approach of presidential elections in early March, in which President Suharto is seeking his seventh consecutive term and in which his vice-presidential candidate appears set to be the current Minister for Research and Technology - a close ally of the President - is fuelling concerns about the future political leadership of the country. Political tensions have been intensified by a severe economic crisis which has resulted in a dramatic fall in the value of the Indonesian currency - the rupiah - and a crippling drought in many areas of the country. As Indonesia comes under pressure to implement austerity measures imposed by the International Monetary Fund, the public outcry over rising prices is being accompanied by increasingly vocal demands for political change. Riots and demonstrations have become an almost daily occurrence and are likely to intensify in the run-up to the March parliamentary session at which the nation’s president and vice-president will be chosen. During times of national crisis such as that being faced by Indonesia now, extra care is needed to ensure that human rights are protected. Contrary to exercising additional care, the Indonesian authorities are adopting a hardline policy in an attempt to silence critics. At a time when the airing of opinions might help to ease the level of tension, the authorities are imposing gross restrictions on its citizens’ rights to freedom of association and expression. In the past two weeks alone around 250 peaceful political activists have been arrested.

Uitgeverij Vantilt, Nijmegen / Nederlandse Boekhistorische Vereniging, Leiden 2014 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_jaa008201401_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. i.s.m. 7 [Nummer 21] Redactioneel Voor u ligt het Jaarboek 2014 van de Nederlandse Boekhistorische Vereniging. Zoals u zult merken ziet het er iets anders uit dan u gewend bent. In het vorige jubileumjaarboek schreef Hans Mulder, toenmalig voorzitter, dat het bestuur en de redactie van de NBV samen hadden besloten om de opzet van het Jaarboek te herzien. In de eerste plaats werd de behoefte gevoeld om het Jaarboek duidelijker te profileren te midden van de boekhistorische periodieken die er op dit moment op de markt zijn. De opfrisbeurt was eveneens noodzakelijk om te kunnen garanderen dat ook in de toekomst een gevarieerde bundel met bijdragen van hoge kwaliteit kan worden aangeboden. Het afgelopen jaar heeft de gehele redactie hard gewerkt aan de invulling van het ‘Jaarboek nieuwe stijl’ en met plezier presenteren wij u hier het resultaat. Wat is er allemaal veranderd? In de eerste plaats zal het Jaarboek vanaf deze jaargang niet meer uitsluitend Nederlandstalige artikelen bevatten, maar ook meerdere bijdragen in het Engels. Om zowel Nederlandstalige als Engelstalige lezers te bedienen, gaan alle artikelen gepaard met uitgebreide samenvattingen in de ‘andere’ taal. Op deze wijze zijn alle artikelen in het Jaarboek toegankelijk voor zowel Nederlands als Engels lezende lezers. Tevens heeft de redactie een begin gemaakt met peer review.

  • Chapter 9 the Structure of Non-Military Intelligence and Security Organizations
    Chapter 9 The structure of non-military intelligence and security organizations In addition to the military intelligence and security agencies, there are a wide range of such agencies within the civilian sector of the Indonesian state, although the term "civilian" is used rather loosely. These agencies vary considerably in size, organizational mission, and political importance. The most important is the State Intelligence Coordinating Board (Bakin), the head of which reports directly to the President. Bakin has a comprehensive intelligence brief, and in the past was extremely active in direct political intervention, at home and abroad. While Opsus [Special Operations] no longer exists, this private intelligence empire under the control of Ali Moertopo was an important factor in Indonesian political life for more than a decade. Police intelligence is included in this chapter in the "civilian" category, even though the National Police are formally a part of the Armed Forces. The Ministry of Home Affairs' Directorate of Social and Political Affairs is a large and powerful organizations which is responsible for a number of intelligence and political management tasks deemed vital for the survival of the New Order - not least maintaining surveillance and controls over more than 1.7 million former political prisoners or former Communist Party members. Within the Attorney-Generals' Department, the Intelligence Affairs section is headed by a senior military intelligence officer. And, as in South Korea, this appears to reflect the need for a strong intelligence input if dissent is to be controlled at least in part through the legal system rather than by coercion alone. The last organization that is discussed is the State Cryptography Institute.
