Frederick Associate Professor of History Josep Rota Director of International Studies KARSONO, SONY. M.A. August 2005. International Studies Setting History Straight? Indonesian Historiography in the New Order (274 pp.) Director of Thesis: William H. Frederick This thesis discusses one central problem: What happened to Indonesian historiography in the New Order (1966-98)? To analyze the problem, the author studies the connections between the major themes in his intellectual autobiography and those in the metahistory of the regime. Proceeding in chronological and thematic manner, the thesis comes in three parts. Part One presents the author’s intellectual autobiography, which illustrates how, as a member of the generation of people who grew up in the New Order, he came into contact with history. Part Two examines the genealogy of and the major issues at stake in the post-New Order controversy over the rectification of history. Part Three ends with several concluding observations. First, the historiographical engineering that the New Order committed was not effective. Second, the regime created the tools for people to criticize itself, which shows that it misunderstood its own society. Third, Indonesian contemporary culture is such that people abhor the idea that there is no single truth.

  • Education Reform in Indonesia: Limits of Neoliberalism in a Weak State
    EDUCATION REFORM IN INDONESIA: LIMITS OF NEOLIBERALISM IN A WEAK STATE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN SOCIOLOGY MAY 2014 By Sulaiman Mappiasse Dissertation Committee: Hagen Koo, Chairperson Patricia Steinhoff Sun-Ki Chai Hirohisa Saito Barbara Watson Andaya Keywords: Neoliberalism, Education, Reform, Indonesia ABSTRACT This is a study about the recent neoliberal education reform in Indonesia. With the strong support of the people, Indonesia has undertaken a large-scale education reform since the late 1990s. The government was highly confident that this would make Indonesia’s education more efficient and competitive. After more than a decade, however, Indonesia’s education has not significantly improved. Contrary to expectations, the series of policies that was introduced has made Indonesia’s governance less effective and has deepened the existing inequality of educational opportunities. This study examines how and why this reform ended up with these unsatisfactory outcomes. The argument is that Indonesia’s domestic politics and history have interfered with the implementation of the neoliberal policies and led to a distortion of the reform processes. Although neoliberal globalization was a powerful force shaping the process of the reform, domestic conditions played a more important role, especially the weakening of the state’s capacity caused by the crisis that hit Indonesia in 1997/1998. In the process of decentralization, the new configuration of relations between the state, business groups and classes and the emergence of new local leaders brought about unintended consequences.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Dasar Pemikiran Penelitian Mengenai Sejarah Pendidikan Pada Masa Orde Baru Sudah Cukup Banyak Dan Berkemban
    1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Dasar Pemikiran Penelitian mengenai sejarah pendidikan pada masa Orde Baru sudah cukup banyak dan berkembang. Namun, masih sangat sedikit penelitian mengenai Fuad Hassan yang berkaitan dengan kebijakan pendidikan selama menjabat sebagai Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan pada era orde baru. Padahal jika dilihat kebijakan-kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh Fuad Hassan selama menjabat sebagai Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan berperan besar bagi pendidikan di Indonesia. Penelitian mengenai Fuad Hassan pernah dilakukan oleh Dwi Septiwiharti pada 2009 dalam tesisnya yang berjudul “Tinjauan filsafat atas pemikiran Fuad Hassan tentang Pendidikan”1 yang menjelaskan mengenai konsep pendidikan menurut Fuad Hassan dalam perspektif filsafat. Penelitian tersebut juga mendeskripsikan beberapa struktur penting konsep pendidikan Fuad Hassan dan relevansinya dalam konteks keindonesiaan masa kini. Namun, Penelitian mengenai Kebijakan Pendidikan Masa Menteri Fuad Hassan (1985-1993) belum ada khususnya dalam konteks historis.

Study of the “Pameran Seni Rupa Nusantara” 2001-2017 at GNI Citra Smara Dewi and Yuda B Tangkilisan History Department Faculty of Humanities Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia Abstract This study focuses on the role of the National Gallery of Indonesia (GNI) in maintaining multiculturalism through the policies implemented, namely initiating the activities of the Pameran Seni Rupa Nusantara (PSRN). The PSRN exhibition is one of the GNI’s most important programs because it gives space to the artists of the archipelago - not just Java and Bali - to present works of modern-contemporary art rooted in local wisdom. As a nation that has the characteristics of pluralism, the spirit of multiculturalism in art has become very significant, especially in the middle of the Corresponding Author: Disruption era which is ”full of uncertainty”.
