It would be impossible in this book to present more than a brief sketch of some of the most important of Indonesia's people, places and events. The reader is encouraged to consult additional works, such as those listed in the bibliography, for a more in depth coverage of specific topics. A Note on Indonesian Spelling and Names: The Indonesian language is easy to pronounce. In general one should try to pronounce Indonesian words as they are written, bearing in mind the following few rules: the letter "c" always represents the sound "ch" (as in chair, never like the "c" in cider or car), the letters "ng" are pronounced like the "ng" in singer, while "ngg" is pronounced like the "ng" in finger. However, there have been several changes in spelling conventions, which explains why one may fmd alternate spellings of the same name (eg. Suharto and Soeharto). For more information on spelling and language, consult a good Indonesian­ English dictionary, such as that by Echols and Shadily. A Note to Teachers: This book has been designed so that it may be utilised in several ways. Used in its entirety it can serve as the main text for a course on Indonesian history or social studies. It can also be used as a supplementary source of material to be integrated into other history or social studies courses. Selected chapters may be used in order to add a Southeast Asian perspective or to highlight particular historical themes. Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the country, including the geography, natural resources, and cultural diversity to be found in Indonesia. Chapter 6 discusses the politics and economy of modem Indonesia. Taken together, these two chapters may be used to provide a general country profIle of Indonesia. Chapters 2 through 5 concentrate on the historical development of Indonesian society. Individual chapters may be selected to provide examples of general themes that are covered in a world history course. For example, chapter 2 focuses on describing early societies, the role of inter-regional trade, and the challenges of historiography. This chapter deals with the question of "what is history?" and with the need to evaluate critically the sources of information used to build a reconstruction of past events. Chapter 3 continues with the themes of international trade. It also introduces the role of Islam, both as an influence within Indonesia and as a dynamic religious force throughout the Asian region. The opposition of Islam and Christianity (in historical terms) is highlighted by the collision of the Western and indigenous Southeast Asian cultures, and the European "Age of Exploration" is covered from an Asian perspective. Chapter 4 may be used to highlight the confrontation of Western and Asian interests, especially in the realm of commerce, and the development of a colonial system. Chapter 5 continues with the theme of colonization, and focuses on its political aspects. Resistance movements are also discussed, as is the growth of a unified opposition and the development of a national consciousness. Additionally, this chapter stresses the role of primary sources in studying history. Each chapter has a set of exercises which may be used to test the students' comprehension of the information presented in that unit. There are always several exercises that test recall of factual material (Le. multiple choice, true/false, or fIll in the blanks) and several exercises that provide an opportUnity for critical thinking and essay writing. In order to spark the students' imagination and to help bring history alive, there are topics for creative writing. Additionally there are several sections devoted to map skills and geography. A Note to Students: This book is designed to give you an overall picture of Indonesian history and society. As with any textbook, it may seem like there is a lot of new information for you to absorb. As you read the material try to concentrate on the main themes. Try to compare what you learn about Indonesian history with what you already know about Asian history and/or about the history of your own country. Use the chapter summaries to review information and test your knowledge by completing the exercises at the end of every chapter. Most of all, try to enjoy the challenge of learning more about this beautiful and interesting country. Take advantage of the resources in the library of your school or local community. In addition to reference works and history books, you may also check the index listings for magazines and journals, such as National Geographic, for articles on Indonesia. There are also a number of video documentaries which deal with various aspects of Indonesian culture, natural history and modern affairs. 11 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE LANDS AND PEOPLES OF INDONESIA THE GEOGRAPHY OF INDONESIA ndonesia has been described by some as a string of emeralds cast upon the Indian ocean. Others call it part of a ring of fire. These poetic names sound Tvery different from each other but both suggest something about the physical characteristics of this island chain.

  • Crisis and Adaptation (1884–1890S)
    CHAPTER THREE CRISIS AND ADAPTATION (1884–1890S) In 1870 the Cultivation System was officially abolished and private enter- prise was allowed to operate more freely. However, tapping the wealth of the Indonesian archipelago proved difficult. The crisis of November 1884 had far reaching consequences for the business world of the Netherlands Indies, and involved some of the largest companies around such as Dorrepaal & Co. Business interests in Amsterdam – together with the NHM and DJB – intervened and prevented a full-fledged collapse of the private economic sector. The threatening credit crunch could only be solved by an overhaul of the customs regarding credit extension which came down to financing long-term investments by incurring short- term debts. The 1884 crisis exposed the shaky foundations of the private economy. Many firms were forced to adjust their business strategy accordingly. The ties between commerce and capital became better guarded. The comple- tion of this painful reorganization constituted a fundamental reassess- ment of the relationship between capital, commerce and agricultural enterprise. The crisis also affected the spending power of the indigenous population with great repercussions for the import side of the economy. Chinese and European enterprise with their mutual linkages suffered accordingly. Many Chinese tradesmen defaulted to the detriment of their predominantly European creditors. Economic Policy and Political Expansion The post-1870 liberal attitude governing economic policy would consti- tute the rather loose framework of entrepreneurial conduct until the eco- nomic crisis of the 1930s. In a political sense abstention was the official ideology behind Dutch colonial economic policy ever since 1841. Given the limited resources of the Dutch state, the country’s colonial posses- sions were to be confined to Java.

Published for the first time more than a decade ago as a booklet in a modest cyclostyled shape by the Cultural Department of the Indonesian Embassy in India, it has been revised several times in Jakarta in the same form to keep up to date with new discoveries and current theories. Since it seemed to have filled a need felt by foreigners as well as Indonesians to obtain an elementary knowledge of Indonesia's past, it has been thought wise to publish it now in a printed form with the aim to reach a larger public than before.

  • The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics
    The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics The Indonesian term adat means ‘custom’ or ‘tradition’, and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. Since the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, diverse indigenous communities and ethnic groups across Indonesia have publicly, vocally, and sometimes violently, demanded the right to implement elements of adat in their home territories. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons for its recent blossoming. The book considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia’s new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. It is argued that the current interest in adat is not simply a national offshoot of international discourses on indigenous rights, but also reflects a specifically Indonesian ideological tradition in which land, community and custom provide the normative reference points for political struggles. Whilst campaigns in the name of adat may succeed in redressing injustices with regard to land tenure and helping to preserve local order in troubled times, attempts to create enduring forms of political order based on adat are fraught with dangers. These dangers include the exacerbation of ethnic conflict, the legitimation of social inequality, the denial of individual rights and the diversion of attention away from issues of citizenship, democracy and the rule of law at national level. Overall, this book is a full appraisal of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.

Abstract. This paper discusses how Panglima Laot transformed into the republic from kingdom era. During the kingdom era, Panglima Laot had an important role in the maritime sector, particularly in collecting vessel excise. However, during the Dutch Colonial military penetration, Panglima Laot had adapted to the war situation. After the independence, it adapted to the different situation where kingdoms were no longer exist. This political change transformed Panglima Laot in terms of function, value and position as a form of adaptation. This study uses historical method, especially analyzing local as well as the colonial sources. It also included journal as the reference. This study shows that Panglima Laot gradually transformed based on certain phase. During the war phase, Panglima Laot transformed into the war force to face the Dutch military penetration. After the independence, Panglima Laot had to adapt once again, it transforms into a customary institution serving for the fishermen within the traditional corridor. Panglima Laot eventually becomes the maritime culture of the Kingdom of Aceh for Indonesia. The existence of Panglima Laot as a customary institution managing the coastal area is recognized by the Country in the law. Keywords: Panglima Laot; Transformation; Kingdom of Aceh; Indonesian Republic. 1 Introduction As a maritime country, Indonesia has a long history and diverse maritime cultural heritage.

    John Roosa. Pretext for Mass Murder: The September 30th Movement and Suharto's Coup d'Etat in Indonesia. Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin Press, 2006. 303 pages. Vannessa Hearman The fall of President Suharto in May 1998 renewed interest in the events surrounding the coup attempt of 1965 and the transfer of power from Sukarno. Debates have arisen around Indonesian history and, particularly, the mystery surrounding the coup attempt and its aftermath, in which half a million people were killed. The level of involvement of members of the Indonesian Communist Party (Partai Komunis Indonesia, PKI) in the coup attempt has been widely debated. John Roosa's book situates itself within the body of scholarly work that has examined this coup attempt and the extent of the PKI's role. This literature includes Anderson and McVey's "Cornell Paper" and the works of Harold Crouch and W. F. Wertheim, all of which are discussed in Roosa's book in terms of outlining some of the most influential and enduring theories.1 Some of the facts surrounding the coup have been established. On the night of September 30, 1965, one lieutenant and six army generals, including the army commander General Ahmad Yani, were seized from their homes in various parts of Jakarta and executed either there or in Lubang Buaya, on the outskirts of the city. The kidnappers dubbed themselves the "September 30th Movement," and their stated aim was to safeguard Sukarno from right-wing army officers rumored to have been planning a coup against him. In a broadcast on October 1, from the state radio station that they had seized, Movement activists named their leader as Lieutenant Colonel Untung, commander of the Cakrabirawa, the presidential palace guards.

  • Phd Thesis Tamara Aberle
    Socially-engaged theatre performances in contemporary Indonesia Tamara Alexandra Aberle Royal Holloway, University of London PhD Thesis 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Tamara Alexandra Aberle, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis argues that performances of contemporary theatre in Indonesia are socially- engaged, actively creating, defining and challenging the socio-political environment, and that theatre practitioners are important members of a vibrant civil society who contribute and feel actively committed to democratic processes. Following an initial chapter about the history of modern theatre from the late 19th century until the fall of President Suharto in 1998, the four core chapters centre on four different aspects of contemporary Indonesian socio-politics: historical memory and trauma, violence and human rights, environmentalism, and social transition. Each of these chapters is preceded by an introduction about the wider historical and socio-political context of its respective discourse and is followed by an analysis of selected plays. Chapter 2 focuses on historical trauma and memory, and relates the work of two theatre artists, Papermoon Puppet Theatre and Agus Nur Amal (a.k.a. PM Toh), to processes seeking truth and reconciliation in Indonesia in the post-Suharto era. Chapter 3, on violence and human rights, discusses the works of Ratna Sarumpaet and B. Verry Handayani, with a specific focus on human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and labour migration. Chapter 4 discusses environmentalism on the contemporary stage. It investigates the nature of environmental art festivals in Indonesia, taking Teater Payung Hitam’s 2008 International Water Festival as an example.

  • Patterns of Global Terrorism 1999
    U.S. Department of State, April 2000 Introduction The US Government continues its commitment to use all tools necessary—including international diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence collection and sharing, and military force—to counter current terrorist threats and hold terrorists accountable for past actions. Terrorists seek refuge in “swamps” where government control is weak or governments are sympathetic. We seek to drain these swamps. Through international and domestic legislation and strengthened law enforcement, the United States seeks to limit the room in which terrorists can move, plan, raise funds, and operate. Our goal is to eliminate terrorist safehavens, dry up their sources of revenue, break up their cells, disrupt their movements, and criminalize their behavior. We work closely with other countries to increase international political will to limit all aspects of terrorists’ efforts. US counterterrorist policies are tailored to combat what we believe to be the shifting trends in terrorism. One trend is the shift from well-organized, localized groups supported by state sponsors to loosely organized, international networks of terrorists. Such a network supported the failed attempt to smuggle explosives material and detonating devices into Seattle in December. With the decrease of state funding, these loosely networked individuals and groups have turned increasingly to other sources of funding, including private sponsorship, narcotrafficking, crime, and illegal trade. This shift parallels a change from primarily politically motivated terrorism to terrorism that is more religiously or ideologically motivated. Another trend is the shift eastward of the locus of terrorism from the Middle East to South Asia, specifically Afghanistan. As most Middle Eastern governments have strengthened their counterterrorist response, terrorists and their organizations have sought safehaven in areas where they can operate with impunity.
