    RI shows off culture in Davos Linda Yulisman, The Jakarta Post, Davos | Headlines | Sat, January 25 2014, 10:59 AM White summit: The view of Davos with the Congress Center in the early morning of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2014 in Davos, Switzerland, on Friday. The annual Davos gathering, which draws thousands of the world’s most powerful people, will welcome more than 40 heads of state and government this year to focus on questions about the world’s future, organizers said on Wednesday. (Reuters/Ruben Sprich) Indonesia is using “cultural diplomacy” to promote trade, investment and tourism at the prestigious annual World Economic Forum (WEF), running from Wednesday until Saturday in Davos, Switzerland. The forum is being attended by 2,500 officials and captains of industries from around the world.

  • Chineseness Is in the Eye of the Beholder
    CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Setefanus Suprajitno August 2013 © 2013 Setefanus Suprajitno CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI Setefanus Suprajitno, Ph.D. Cornell University 2013 My dissertation is an ethnographic project documenting the transformation of Chinese Indonesians post-Suharto Indonesia. When Suharto was in power (1966–1998), the Chinese in his country were not considered an ethnicity with the freedom to maintain their ethnic and cultural heritage. They were marked as “the Other” by various policies and measures that suppressed their cultural markers of ethnicity. The regime banned Chinese language education, prohibited Chinese media, and dissolved Chinese organizations, an effort that many Chinese thought of as destroying the Chinese community in Indonesia as they were seen as the three pillars that sustained the Chinese community. Those efforts were intended to make the Chinese more Indonesian; ironically, they highlighted the otherness of Chinese Indonesians and made them perpetual foreigners who remained the object of discrimination despite their total assimilation into Indonesian society. However, the May 1998 anti-Chinese riot that led to the fall of the New Order regime brought about political and social reform. The three pillars of the Chinese community were restored. This restoration produces new possibilities for Chinese cultural expression. Situated in this area of anthropological inquiry, my dissertation examines how the Chinese negotiate and formulate these identities, and how they ascribe meaning to Chinese identities.

By its 100th year as an independent nation in 2045, Indonesia aims to become a high-income country and among the top 10 largest economies in the world. 08 To achieve its goals, Indonesia wants to move away from being an economy heavily dependent on raw commodity exports and consumption, toward one driven by value-added manufacturing and modern services, fueled by heavy infrastructure development and increased domestic and foreign investment.
