From Populism to Democratic Polity: Problems and Challenges in Surakarta, Indonesia
33 From Populism to Democratic Polity: Problems and Challenges in Surakarta, Indonesia Pratikno and Cornelis Lay Abstract The paper discusses democratisation practiced in Surakarta, Indonesia, which has been claimed by many experts as a municipality with “best practices” of democratic local governance in Indonesia. Their analyses focus on the actors and claim that participation is a possible way of crafting stable democracy. This participation in turn, they suggest, is a result of decentralisation which thus strengthen local democracy. Presenting the civil society participation and the decentralisation in the city of Surakarta, this paper shows that what actually happens is otherwise. It argues that the rise of popular participation was rooted in contentious local politics. Besides, the constitution of the new forms of popular representation are not supported by, and produced within, a clear ideological framework from the people in Surakarta. Introduction Participation through civil society and decentralisation has become the main theme within the current debates about democratisation.1 The assumption is that participation and decentralisation will strengthen democracy. The best Indonesian case in favour of these theses must be Surakarta municipality, 1 We would like to thank Lukman-nul Hakim for his valuable contribution in both the discussion and editing, and HendraTry Ardiantoand BelaNagariin providing data. From Populism to Democratic Polity ... 34 also known as the city of Solo. Solo has become well known in the Indonesian debate because of its recent positive experience of popular participation. They include efforts at participatory budgeting and planning, in cooperation between political executives, various CSOs and social movements. Many development agencies and pundits refer to Surakarta’s experiencesin terms of “best practices” of democratic local governance in Indonesia. -
Menyiapkan Sultan Perempuan: Legitimasi Langit Dan Efektivitas Rezim Sultan Hamengkubuwono X1
DDC: 321.5 MENYIAPKAN SULTAN PEREMPUAN: LEGITIMASI LANGIT DAN EFEKTIVITAS REZIM SULTAN HAMENGKUBUWONO X1 Bayu Dardias Departemen Politik dan Pemerintahan Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta Email: [email protected] Diterima: 17-3-2016 Direvisi: 29-3-2016 Disetujui: 4-4-2016 ABSTRACT Sultan Hamengkubuwono (HB) X of Yogyakarta has chosen his eldest daughter as his successor in a traditionally patrilineal Sultanate. This paper discusses the controversy surrounding Sultan HB X’s decision by measuring the impact of his proclamations and orders for the Sultanate’s long-term regime effectiveness. I argue that Sultan HB X’s proclamations and orders based, which were based on mysticism and a sense of divinity, have been ineffectual for maintaining regime effectiveness inside and outside of the Sultanate. Within the Sultanate, the Sultan’s siblings have argued that his decisions contradict the Sultanate’s centuries-long tradition of rules (paugeran). Outside the palace walls, broader society has been divided over Sultan HB X’s choice. One group supports Sultan HB X’s decision, while the other group is determined to hold on firmly to their patriarchal cultural and historical traditions. While Sultan HB X’s proclamations and orders have been ineffectual in maintaining the Sultanate and its influence, his decisions have even brought about an enormous challenge to the survival prospects of the Sultanate itself. Keywords: political legitimation, regime, Sultan Hamengkubuwono, Yogyakarta Sultanate ABSTRAK Pada 2015, Sultan Hamengkubuwono (HB) X mengeluarkan empat kali Sabda dan Dawuh Raja yang berkaitan dengan suksesi kepemimpinan di Kasultanan Yogyakarta. Tanpa memiliki putra laki-laki, Sultan HB X menunjuk putri sulungnya sebagai penerus takhta yang menganut patrilineal. -

In the Netherlands, I must thank Pim Westerkamp at the Museum Nusantara, Delft, for taking me on a tour through the collection and making archival materials available to me. Thanks also to Marie-Odette Scalliet at the University of Leiden, for directing me toward more of her research and for showing me some of the university library’s Southeast Asia collection. I also appreciate the generosity of Peter Boomgaard, of the KITLV in Leiden, for discussing aspects of my research with me. Thanks to the staff at the KIT Fotobureau in Amsterdam, who responded admirably to my vague request for ‘landscape’ photographs from the Netherlands Indies. -

Bukan saja karena sisi “perempuan”-nya, melainkan lebih karena isu-isu yang diusungnya senantiasa menjadi titik perbincangan menarik di tengah dunia yang didominasi kuasa lelaki ini. Di Indonesia sendiri gerakan kaum perempuan sudah dimulai sejak awal, sejak jaman kolonialisme, bahkan jauh sebelum berdirinya negara Republik Indonesia. Nama-nama seperti Ken Dedes, Tribuana Tunggadewi, Roro Jonggrang, dan lain-lain sudah cukup populer sebagai perempuan legendaris yang menurut beberapa tafsir sejarah –meski perlu dikaji lebih serius—sedikit banyak dapat terhitung sebagai pergerakan perempuan kala itu. Di jaman modern, gerakan kaum perempuan menjadi semakin terorganisir, terstruktur, dan massif, mulai dari era Kartini hingga era reformasi terkini. Sudah banyak hasil yang terlihat dan bisa dinikmati dari gerakan perempuan berabad-abad lamanya itu. Namun demikian, dalam konteks sejarah perjuangan bangsa, peran kaum perempuan kerap diabaikan, bahkan dipandang sebelah mata. -
394 M.C. Ricklefs Soul Catcher Provides a Number of New Insights Into the Figure of Prince Mangkunagara I. at the Same Time It
394 Book Reviews M.C. Ricklefs, Soul Catcher: Java’s Fiery Prince Mangkunagara I, 1726–1795. Singapore: NUS Press [Asian Studies Association of Australia: Southeast Asian Publications Series], 2018, xx + 439 pp. ISBN: 9789814722841, price: SDG 48.00 (paperback). Soul Catcher provides a number of new insights into the figure of Prince Mangkunagara I. At the same time it endorses and elaborates on the author’s previous arguments on Javanese mystic synthesis, and his arguments on the prevalent role of Islam in Javanese history. Prince Mangkunagara I is among the most well-known figures of eighteenth century Java, especially for his acts of rebellion against Pakubuwono II and against the Dutch East India Company (VOC). In folklore he is depicted as ‘a fighter,’ a perception and attribute for which the Indonesian government granted him a title of national hero together with many others, including the rebellious Prince Dipanagara. Due to the contrasting relations of Prince Dipanagara and Prince Mangkun- agara I with the Dutch authorities, the latter was able to establish a prince- dom: the Mangkunagaran dynasty. Additionally, he was among the three major local figures of the eighteenth century (the other two being Mangkubumi— later entitled Hamengkubuwono I—of Yogyakarta and Pakubuwono III of Surakarta), who were involved in the separation of the Mataram Kingdom into three dynasties. Mangkunagara I has been known by a number of different names. These include Prince Adipati Pakunegara, Prince Suryakusuma, Mas Said, and Prince Sambĕr Nyawa (‘Soul Catcher’). The last of these names has been much quoted in the folklore of contemporary Indonesia, and Ricklefs, a prominent historian of Java, has been drawn into the mystery of the prince’s intriguing nickname ever since his passionate study of Java’s history.
