Making Presidentialism Work: Legislative and Executive Interaction in Indonesian Democracy Making Presidentialism Work: Legislative and Executive Interaction in Indonesian Democracy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Djayadi Hanan, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: R. William Liddle, Adviser Richard Paul Gunther Goldie Ann Shabad Copyright by Djayadi Hanan 2012 i Abstract This study explores the phenomenon of executive – legislative relations in a new multiparty presidential system. It seeks to understand why, contrary to arguments regarding the dysfunctionality of multi-party presidential systems, Indonesia’s governmental system appears to work reasonably well. Using institutionalism as the main body of theory, in this study I argue that the combination of formal and informal institutions that structure the relationship between the president and the legislature offsets the potential of deadlock and makes the relationship work. The existence of a coalition-minded president, coupled with the tendency to accommodative and consensual behavior on the part of political elites, also contributes to the positive outcome. This study joins the latest studies on multiparty presidentialism in the last two decades, particularly in Latin America, which argue that this type of presidential system can be a successful form of governance. It contributes to several parts of the debate on presidential system scholarship. First, by deploying Weaver and Rockman’s concept of the three tiers of governmental institutions, this study points to the importance of looking more comprehensively at not only the basic institutional design of presidentialism (such as dual legitimacy and rigidity), but also the institutions below the regime level which usually regulate directly the daily practice of legislative – executive relations such as the legislative organizations and the decision making process of the legislature. ii Second, related to the first contribution, this study points to the importance of not only focusing our attention on the separation of the legislative and executive branches (such as dual legitimacy) but also on the level of legislative – executive integration. Third, this study has also used a coalitional presidentialism approach in building its argument. Its focus however, is not only on the success of the president’s agenda as the measure of success, but also, on the formal and informal institutions as constraints which influence how the president and the legislature interact with each other. Finally, given that studies of multiparty presidentialism outside Latin America are still rare, this study contributes to enlargement of the data set of multiparty presidential systems in the world. iii Dedication Dedicated to: Murani Baruit Husin (mother) Isabella (wife) Hanin Atina Rahmania (daughter) Malia Arifa Yumna (daughter) Shameel Ahmad Hanan (son) iv Acknowledgments It took three years for me to finish this dissertation. This long journey has involved numerous individuals directly or indirectly. Given very limited space, I could not mention all of them here. Instead, I want to express my deep gratitude to a few key names. First, I would like to thank my adviser and chair of my dissertation committee: Professor R. William Liddle. I have been very fortunate to have him as mentor and academic adviser. He has been always caring, helpful, and ready to help whenever and wherever I need his help or advice. His endless support and encouragement have helped me convince myself that this dissertation project can be done. Second, my profound gratitude goes to my dissertation committee members: Professor Richard Gunther and Professor Goldie Ann Shabad. Professor Gunther’s deep knowledge and understanding about the role of institutions in politics has helped me in formulating the research questions and theoretical framework I use in this study. Since the early process of this dissertation project, Professor Shabad has always helped me in looking at the conceptual flaws of this study and provided me with guidance on how to fix them. v Further words of gratitude should also be extended to my friends and families both in Columbus and Jakarta: Bang Saiful Mujani and his wife, Mbak Ikun, who were always ready with their support, especially during my field research in Jakarta; Mas Dodi Ambardi who helped me from my first day in Columbus; Paul Rowland, the Director of NDI Indonesia, who assisted me with a part time job while I was conducting my research in Jakarta; Riris Katarina and Partogi Nainggolan, two researchers in the DPR, who assisted me by getting documents from the DPR; and Mbak Indah who helped me make contact with several leaders of PDIP. During the process of writing this dissertation in the last year, I have been generously helped by the Harvard Kennedy School, which provided me a one year resident research fellowship in Cambridge. For that, I would like to thank Elizabeth Osborn (Betsy), the Director of the Indonesia Program, and her team. In Columbus, I am indebted to my brother, Umar Abdullah, and his family. Umar provided assistance in formatting my dissertation. He and his family also provided one of the rooms in his apartment in Buckeye Village as my place to live whenever I was in Columbus. In Palembang, South Sumatra, I have incurred debts to my mother (umak), brothers and sisters for their endless support and encouragement until I can finish this long journey. Finally, my wife and children most deserve my gratitude as well as my deepest apologies. During the more than five year journey to finish this doctoral program, so much of the time that I should have dedicated to them was taken away. I can not thank them more for all their support and sacrifice. vi Vita 2009 Master of Arts (M.A.), Political Science The Ohio State University, Department of Political Science 2003 Master of Arts (M.A.), Southeast Asia Studies Ohio University, Center for International Studies 1999 Magister Sains (M.Si.), Political Science Gadjah Mada University, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences 1995 Sarjana Sosial (S.Sos.), Public Administration Sriwijaya University, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences 2012 Indonesia Research Fellow, Harvard Kennedy School Harvard University 2010-2011 Graduate Teaching Associate, The Ohio State University Department of Political Science 2007-2010 Fulbright Scholarship recipient 2001-2003 Graduate Research Associate, Ohio University Southeast Asia Studies Program 2000- … Teaching Staff, Paramadina University Department of International Relations Field of study Major Field: Political Science (Comparative Politics) Minor Field: Political Sociology vii Glossary Ampres Amanat Presiden (Presidential Mandate) APBN Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (Annual State Budget) APBN-P Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara-Perubahan (Adjusted Annual State Budget) Badan Konstituante Constituent Assembly BAKN Badan Akuntabilitas Keuangan Negara (Public Finance Accountability Committee) BI Bank Indonesia (the Indonesian Central Bank) Baleg Badan Legislasi (Legislation Committee) Bamus Badan Musyawarah (Steering Committee) Banggar Badan Anggaran (Budget Committee) Banpres Bantuan Presiden (Presidential Assistance) Bappenas Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional or (National Development Planning Board) Bawaslu Badan Pengawas Pemilu (General Election Supervisory Board) BBM Bahan Bakar Minyak (Fuel/Gas) BI Bank Indonesia (Indonesian Central Bank) BKF Badan Kebijakan Fiskal (Fiscal Policy Office) BK Badan Kehormatan (Ethics Committee) BKSAP Badan Kerjasama Antar Parlemen (Interparliamentary Cooperation Body) BPD Bintang Pelopor Demokrasi (The Star of Democracy Pioneer), a political Caucus comprised of several small parties i.e. Partai Demokrasi Kebangsaan (PDK, National Democratic Party), Partai Bulan Bintang (PBB, Crescent and Star Party), Partai Penegak Demokrasi Indonesia (PPDI, The Pioneer of Indonesian Democracy Party), and Masyumi Party BPK Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (Supreme Audit Body) BPS Biro Pusat Statistik (Central Bureau of Statistics) BURT Badan Urusan Rumah Tangga (Household Affairs Committee) CSIS Center for Strategic and International Studies DAK Dana Alokasi Khusus (Special Allocation Fund) viii Depdagri Departemen Dalam Negeri (Department of Home Affairs) DIM Daftar Inventaris Masalah (Problems Inventory List) DPA Dewan Pertimbangan Agung (Supreme Advisory Council) DPD Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (House of Regional Representatives) DPPID Dana Percepatan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Daerah (The Fund for Local Infrastructure Development Acceleration) DPR Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (House of Representatives) DPRD Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (Local House of Representatives) DPR-GR DPR – Gotong Royong (Mutual Aid DPR) Formappi Forum Masyarakat Peduli Parlemen Indonesia (Forum for Concerned Society for Indonesian Parliament) GAM Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (Free Aceh Movement) GBHN Garis-Garis Besar Haluan Negara (General Guidelines of State Policies) G 30S/PKI Gerakan Tigapuluh September/Partai Komunis Indonesia (the movement of September 30/Indonesian Communist Party) Gerindra Gerakan Indonesia Raya (Greater Indonesia Movement) Hanura Hati Nurani Rakyat (People Conscience Party) Inpres Instruksi Presiden (Presidential Instruction) Kapolri Kepala Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (Head of the Indonesian National Police) KIB I Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu (United Indonesia Cabinet) I KIB II Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu (United Indonesia Cabinet) II

    Drafting a democracy An analysis on the drafting process of the election laws after the fall of President Suharto in Indonesia,1998-1999 Gunnar Gase Handeland Hovedoppgave Institutt for statsvitenskap UNIVERSITETET I OSLO April 2007 2 3 Preface My interest for Indonesian politics started when I was on a study tour to the archipelago in 1995. At that time, Indonesia was a growing economy with a stabile but not democratic, political situation. What happened during the Asian crisis only three years later changed the situation rapidly, and I was curious to study the political turmoils that took place. Therefore, I was lucky to start my work with this thesis only months after Suharto stepped down in 1998, and I have to thank both the Faculty of Social Science at the University of Oslo and The Ryoichi Sasakawa Fund for the funding which enabled me to travel to Indonesia and do research there. I also want to thank Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS) in Copenhagen who gave me a Scholarship so I could stay at their institute for two weeks in 1999. Allthough everything seemed to be prepared for my studies I was unfortunately not able to finish the thesis on regular time. I got a job, dropped out of my studies and have been working with all other things than Indonesian politics for the last years. Nevertheless I have not given up my hope to finish it. Therefore, I would like to thank my supervisor, Olle Törnquist, for his encouragement and patience, for introducing me both to the theme and to a lof of his contacts in Indonesia in the late 90’s, and for continuing supervising when I decided to finish my thesis.

Despite much analysis of the role of this kiyai, the fact that the tidal position of kiyai in pesantren[s] is increasingly seen its inconsistency. This can be evidenced by the involvement of kiyai practically in politics, thus affecting the existence of pesantren[s].

  • Female Circumcision: Between Myth and Legitimate Doctrinal Islam
    Jurnal Syariah, Jil. 18, Bil. 1 (2010) 229-246 Shariah Journal, Vol. 18, No. 1 (2010) 229-246 FEMALE CIRCUMCISION: BETWEEN MYTH AND LEGITIMATE DOCTRINAL ISLAM Mesraini* ABSTRACT Circumcision on female has sociologically been practiced since long time ago. It is believed to be done for certain purposes. One of the intentions is that it is as an evidence of sacrifice of the circumcised person to get close to God. In the last decades, the demand for ignoring this practice on female by various circles often springs. Reason being is that the practice is accused of inflicting female herself. Moreover, it is regarded as a practice that destroys the rights of female reproduction and that of female sexual enjoyment and satisfaction. Commonly, female circumcision is done by cutting clitoris and throwing the minor and major labia. This practice of circumcision continues based on the myths that spread so commonly among people. This article aims to conduct a research on female circumcision in the perspective of Islamic law. According to Islamic doctrine, female circumcision is legal by Islamic law. By adopting the methodology of syar‘a man qablana (the law before us) and theory of maqasid al-syari‘ah (the purposes of Islamic law) and some other legitimate Quranic verses, circumcision becomes an important practice. Again, the famous female circumcision practice is evidently not parallel with the way recommended by Islam. Keywords: circumcision, female, Islamic law, tradition * Lecturer, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, mesraini@yahoo. com 229 Jurnal Syariah, Jil. 18, Bil. 1 (2010) 229-246 INTRODUCTION Circumcision practice is a tradition, known worldwide and admitted by monotheistic religions members especially the Jewish, Muslim and some of the Christians.

  • Political Islam: the Shrinking Trend and the Future Trajectory of Islamic Political Parties in Indonesia
    Political Islam: The shrinking trend and the future trajectory of Islamic political parties in Indonesia Politik Islam: Tren menurun dan masa depan partai politik Islam di Indonesia Ahmad Khoirul Umam1 & Akhmad Arif Junaidi 2 1Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences, The University of Queensland, Australia 2 Faculty of Sharia and Law, State Islamic University (UIN) Walisongo, Semarang Jalan Walisongo No. 3-5, Tambakaji, Ngaliyan, Kota Semarang, Jawa Tengah Telepon: (024) 7604554 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The trend of religious conservatism in Indonesian public sector is increasing nowadays. But the trend is not followed by the rise of political ,slam‘s popularity. The Islamic political parties are precisely abandoned by their sympathizers because of some reasons. This paper tries to elaborate the reasons causing the erosion of Islamic parties‘ political legitimacy. Some fundamental problems such as inability to transform ideology into political platform, internal-factionalism, as well as the crisis of identity will be explained further. The experience from 2009 election can be used to revitalize their power and capacity for the better electability in the next 2014 election. But they seem to be unable to deal with the previous problems making the electability erosion in 2014 more potential and inevitable. Various strategies must be conducted by the parties such as consolidation, revitalizing their political communication strategy, widening political networks across various ideological and religious streams, and others. Without that, their existence would be subordinated by the secular parties to become the second class political players in this biggest Moslem country in the world. Keywords: democracy, Islam, political parties, election, electability, Indonesia Abstrak Fenomena konservatisme agama di Indonesia di sektor publik terus tumbuh.

Haley, Chair Michael E. Townsend Beth E. Rivin Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Law © Copyright 2015 Yu Un Oppusunggu ii University of Washington Abstract Sudargo Gautama and the Development of Indonesian Public Order: A Study on the Application of Public Order Doctrine in a Pluralistic Legal System Yu Un Oppusunggu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor John O. Haley School of Law A sweeping proviso that protects basic or fundamental interests of a legal system is known in various names – ordre public, public policy, public order, government’s interest or Vorbehaltklausel. This study focuses on the concept of Indonesian public order in private international law. It argues that Indonesia has extraordinary layers of pluralism with respect to its people, statehood and law. Indonesian history is filled with the pursuit of nationhood while protecting diversity. The legal system has been the unifying instrument for the nation. However the selected cases on public order show that the legal system still lacks in coherence. Indonesian courts have treated public order argument inconsistently. A prima facie observation may find Indonesian public order unintelligible, and the courts have gained notoriety for it. This study proposes a different perspective. It sees public order in light of Indonesia’s legal pluralism and the stages of legal development.
