Author Safrol Muluk Title of Thesis : The Indonesian Armyand Political Islam: A Political Encounter 1966-1977 Department Institute ofIslamic Studies, McGill University Master ofArts The main objective of this study is ta analyze the politica1 struggle between the Indonesian army and Islamic political parties in the New Order era between 1966-1977. The historica1 background of the involvement of the army in palitics and the attempt of poUtical Islam ta • establish an Islamic state is a central issue that characterized the reIationship between these two groups. When the New Order came to power in 1966, it bas exercised strict control over politically organized Islam. With the army emerged as the most significant political force, there was no choice for poIitica1 Islam except to reformulate its politica1 agenda in order to suit national development program undertaken by the military backed govemment. The future of political Islam and the involvement of the army in the social and politica1 arena in Indonesia field has since then been central to the development of politica1 system in that country. ü RÉSUMÉ Auteur : Safrul Muluk Titre : L'armée indonésienne et l'Islam politique: Une rencontre politique 1966-1977 Département : Institut des Études Islamiques, Université McGill Diplôme : Maitrise ès Arts L'objectif premier de cetteétudeestd'analyser la lutte politique entre l'année indonésienne et les partis politiques islamiques à l'époque de l'Ordre Nouveau (1966-1977).

    PATTERNS OF MILITARY CONTROL IN THE INDONESIAN HIGHER CENTRAL BUREAUCRACY John A. MacDougall* Summary This article analyzes current military penetration of Indonesia's higher central government bureaucracy. Any civilian or military officeholder in this bureaucracy is referred to as a karyawan. The article focuses on the incumbent Cabinet and topmost echelon of civil service officials. Findings are based on public biographies of these persons and published specialized secondary sources on the Indonesian military. The principal conclusions follow below. The Higher Central Bureaucracy The Indonesian military has long played a "dual civil and military function." Military karyawan, active duty and retired officers in civilian assignments, comprise an increasingly visible, influential, and strategic segment of the dominant military faction, that of President Suharto and his 1945 Generation supporters. --The military karyawan in the higher central bureaucracy are especially critical actors in maintaining the Suharto regime. --Together with their civilian karyawan colleagues, virtually all of them wield decision-making powers of some considerable degree. --Some mix of military and civilian karyawan occurs in all Cabinet Departments except the Department of Defense and Security, now entirely military-controlled. --The Indonesian armed forces' doctrinal commitment to preventing civilian con­ trol of the military has resulted in the Department of Defense and Security be­ coming effectively equivalent to the consolidated armed forces' staff and command structure. Extent of Military Penetration Active and retired military karyawan now occupy half the positions in the Indo­ nesian higher central bureaucracy. --At the highest levels, military penetration remains near complete (the President and his principal immediate aides) or has increased (Coordinating Ministers) over the course of the New Order regime (1966 to the present).

  • Current Data on the Indonesian Military Elite
    CURRENT DATA ON THE INDONESIAN MILITARY ELITE (Prepared by the Editors) Periodically over the last fifteen years we have prepared lists of officers hold­ ing key positions in the hierarchy of the Indonesian Armed Forced to help readers keep abreast of current developments. (The last previous listing was in Indonesia, No. 33 [April 1982] which included changes through February 1982.) We have been able to do so because changes of personnel have typically been incremental, and because when a major organizational change took place, as in October 1969, the transformation occurred quickly and smoothly, without involving any drastic redis­ tribution of power or personnel. This is not the case with the recent reorganiza­ tion. The changes that got under practical way in March 1983 are unprecedented in their scope and complexity, and seem unlikely to run their full course before well into 1984. Essentially, they can be understood as involving two distinct, yet interrelated processes: (1) a generational shift which has virtually eliminated the "Generation of '45" from the Armed Forces' hierarchy; (2) the organizational rever­ berations of the separation of the functions of Minister of Defense and Security and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces mandated by Law 20/1982. Perhaps fortu­ nately for the editors, the evidence for the generational shift was largely complete as of the beginning of July 1983, and seems reasonably susceptible to preliminary analysis. On the other hand, although General S. Poniman and General L. B. "Benny" Murdani assumed on March 28, 1983 the twin top positions that had earlier always been held by a single officer, the division of authority and responsibility between them has yet to be resolved; and until it is resolved many billets remain either empty or held on a caretaker basis.

  • Power Politics and the Indonesian Military
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:05 09 May 2016 Power Politics and the Indonesian Military Throughout the post-war history of Indonesia, the military has played a key role in the politics of the country and in imposing unity on a fragmentary state. The collapse of the authoritarian New Order government of President Suharto weakened the state, and the armed forces briefly lost their grip on control of the archipelago. Under President Megawati, however, the military has again begun to assert itself, and to reimpose its heavy hand on control of the state, most notably in the fracturing outer provinces. This book, based on extensive original research, examines the role of the military in Indonesian politics. It looks at the role of the military histori- cally, examines the different ways in which it is involved in politics, and considers how the role of the military might develop in what is still an uncertain future. Damien Kingsbury is Head of Philosophical, International and Political Studies and Senior Lecturer in International Development at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. He is the author or editor of several books, including The Politics of Indonesia (Second Edition, 2002), South-East Asia: A Political Profile (2001) and Indonesia: The Uncertain Transition (2001). His main area of work is in political development, in particular in assertions of self-determination.

AMIR MACHMUD STREET CIMAHI CITY WEST JAVA PROVINCE In Karnisah1, *Yackob Astor2, Bambang Setio Budianto3, Fitra Ramdhan Arrizal4, and Reynaldy Putra Herlambang5 1 Department of Civil Engineering, Polytechnic State of Bandung, Indonesia *Corresponding Author, Received: 22 Oct. 2018, Revised: 2 Dec. 2018, Accepted: 30 Dec. 2018 ABSTRACT: Nowadays, water inundation often occurs in some areas in Cimahi. One of the highest inundation occurred on Jenderal H. Amir Machmud street with a depth of 100 cm with the receding time 1 – 2 hours. This condition causes a very high level of congestion, so it can cut access from Bandung to Cimahi. In addition, of course, this condition can cause damage to the road itself. Using a drainage cross-section data from Cimahi government and field measurement, rainfall data, topographic map, and land use data the existing drainage capacity can be calculated by manual and HEC-RAS. Based on the result of manual calculation, there is total debit in drainage channel on 2 year return period is 2.86 m3/sec, 5 year return period is 3.59 m3/sec, and a 10 year return period is 4.08 m3/sec with the existing channel debit is 2.02 m3/sec so that cause the water overflows from the channel.

Sementara itu pelaku yang terlibat dalam peristiwa tersebut semakin sedikit. Soeharto sudah sakit-sakitan dan ingatannya makin berkurang. Harapan satu-satunya barangkali pada Jenderal (pur) Jusuf yang sampai sekarang belum mau berbicara dengan terbuka mengenai persoalan ini. Ada beberapa pertanyaan yang perlu dijawab oleh mantan Pangab itu. Pertama, bagaimana sesungguhnya proses penyusunan dan penyerahan surat tersebut yang terkesan tidak wajar. Sudah diketahui umum bahwa surat tersebut dibuat bukanlah atas inisiatif dan kemauan Soekarno sendiri. Tahun 1998, anggota Tjakrabirawa Letnan Dua (purn) Soekardjo Wilardjito mengaku bahwa Jenderal Panggabean menodongkan pistolnya kepada Presiden Soekarno, sementara Jenderal Jusuf menyodorkan map surat untuk ditandatangani. Kesaksian Soekardjo di atas didukung pula oleh Kaswadi (77 tahun) dan Serka (purn) Rian Ismail yang kini bermukim di Klaten, Jawa Tengah. Mereka melihat bahwa tamu yang datang ke Istana Bogor berjumlah empat orang, bukan tiga orang seperti yang diketahui selama ini. Bahkan Kaswadi mengakui bahwa "Pada waktu itu, 11 Maret 1966, saya melihat Panggabean ada di Istana Bogor. Saat itu sekitar pukul 01.00 WIB dinihari. Panggabean datang mengendarai mobil jip dan berpakaian dinas militer.

  • In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia
    In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia LUQMAN NUL HAKIM This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Melbourne February 2019 Declaration I certify that this thesis is the product of my own research, fewer than the maximum word limit in length, and contains no material which has been accepted as part of the requirements of any other degree at any tertiary education institution, or any material previously published by another person except where due reference is made. Luqman Nul Hakim i Abstract In post-authoritarian Indonesia, but particularly following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Islamism has become a contentious matter of scholarly debate. The prominent accounts emerging from security and democratisation studies place much analytical weight on ideology and culture by often portraying the relationship between Islam and politics in essentialist fashion, associating the dynamics of Islamism with interpretations of Islamic doctrine or the contest between moderate and radical Muslims. The institutionalist literature, on the contrary, explains the rise of Islamism as the result of the weak capacity of the state following the fall of the centralised New Order authoritarian regime. Another variant draws attention to the moderation of Islamic politics as the result of participation in democratic processes, especially electoral politics. Yet, such linear and teleological explanations obscure the complex circumstances that establish the different trajectories of Islamism. They also fail to comprehend how the prevalence of Islamist discourse on power struggles in the current democracy can produce a more conservative and illiberal form of Islamism. In contrast, this thesis utilises the politics of hegemony approach as developed in the traditions of political discourse theory.
