  • 50 Years Since 30 September, 1965: the Gradual Erosion of a Political Taboo
    ISSUE: 2015 NO.66 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 26 November 2015 50 Years since 30 September, 1965: The Gradual Erosion of a Political Taboo. By Max Lane* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This year marks the 50th anniversary of the events of 30 September, 1965 and its aftermath. Amidst heightened discussion of the matter, President Widodo, on behalf of his government, stated that there would be no state expression of being sorry for the large scale massacres of 1965. He attended conventional activities on the anniversary consistent with the long-term narrative originating from the period of Suharto’s New Order. At the same time, there are signs of a gradual but steady erosion of the hegemony of the old narrative and an opening up of discussion. This is not driven by deliberate government policy, although some government decisions have facilitated the emergence of a generation for whom the hegemonic narrative holds less weight. The processes weakening the old hegemony have also been fostered by: a) Increased academic openness on the history of the period, both in and outside of Indonesia. b) More activity by lawyers, activists, researchers as well as former political prisoners demanding state recognition of human rights violations in 1965 and afterwards. c) A general attitude to educational processes no longer dominated by indoctrination concerns. 1 ISSUE: 2015 NO.66 ISSN 2335-6677 Hegemony may be slowly ending, but it is not clear what will replace it. *Max Lane is Visiting Senior Fellow with the Indonesia Studies Programme at ISEAS- Yusof Ishak Institute, and has written hundreds of articles on Indonesia for magazines and newspapers.

  • 1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Sejarah Sebagai Suatu
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Sejarah sebagai suatu narasi besar diperlihatkan melalui peristiwa dan tokoh besar dengan mendokumentasikan asal-usul kejadian, menganalisis geneologi, lalu membangun dan mempertahankan keistimewaan suatu peristiwa, memilih peristiwa yang dianggap spektakuler (seperti perang).1 Bagi sejarawan yang ingin memahami perjalanan sejarah Indonesia Modern, hal yang terkadang menimbulkan rasa frustrasi ialah justru karena kejadian yang paling misterius ternyata merupakan salah satu babak kejadian yang terpenting. Kebenaran sejarah terletak dalam kesediaan sejarawan untuk meneliti sumber sejarah secara tuntas, sehingga dapat diharapkan sejarawan akan mengungkapkan secara objektif.2 Perjalanan sejarah banyak meninggalkan kesan faktual betapa pemikiran seorang tokoh mempunyai peran penting dan kontribusi di jamannya. Negara Indonesia lahir dan diproklamasikan pada tanggal 17 Agustus 1945 oleh Dwitunggal Soekarno-Hatta atas nama Bangsa Indonesia. Sejak pengakuan kedaulatan, nyaris tidak ada hari tanpa konflik yang menerpa Indonesia. Peritiwa sejarah Indonesia ketika menghadapi Agresi Militer 1 Rhoma Dwi Aria Y, Fiktif Sejarah, Sejarah Fiktif, Istoria, vol. 2 nomor 1, September 2006, hlm.121. 2 Kuntowijoyo, Pengantar Ilmu Sejarah, Yogyakarta: Bentang Budaya, 1955, hlm.13. 1 2 Belanda II3, setelah itu perang-perang menyusul menghantam Republik Indonesia sampai Indonesia terseret dalam konfrontasi merebut Papua Barat yang kemudian diberi nama Irian Jaya. Usai konflik ini melanda lahir kembali konfrontasi menentang pembentukan Federasi Malaysia4 tahun 1963. Peristiwa-peristiwa tersebut sangat menguras energi nasional, kehidupan berbagai sektor tidak stabil. Namun bagi Angkatan Darat, keadaan ini membuka peluang untuk tampil sebagai benteng pertahanan Republik.5 Salah satu organ yang perlu dimiliki oleh Pemerintah suatu negara adalah Militer, yang merupakan satu kelompok orang-orang yang diorganisir dengan disiplin untuk melakukan pertempuran, yang diperbedakan dari orang-orang sipil.

  • The Role of Islam in the Construction of the Foreign Economic Relations of the Republic of Indonesia

WILLIAMS, B.A.H, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Mark S. Williams, November 2012 Ph.D. Thesis — M.S. Williams McMaster University — Political Science DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) McMaster University (Political Science) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Role of Islam in the Construction of the Foreign Economic Relations of the Republic of Indonesia AUTHOR: Mark S. Williams, B.A., M.A. SUPERVISOR: Professor Richard Stubbs NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 280 ii Ph.D. Thesis — M.S. Williams McMaster University — Political Science Abstract American IPE has traditionally marginalized the role that social forces, and particularly religion, have played in the construction of the international political economy. This dissertation is an examination into the foreign economic relations of the Republic of Indonesia from the perspective of the British school of International Political Economy (IPE). British IPE is used to critically assess what role, if any, the religion of Islam has had in the construction of Indonesia’s foreign economic relations. This research demonstrates that Islamic social forces have influenced the political debates that construct Indonesia’s foreign economic relationships. Mainstream Islamic organizations pushed the state to engage with international institutions of trade and finance throughout the pre‐independence period when Indonesian national identity was being forged, as well as during the parliamentary democracy that followed independence, and into Sukarno’s “Guided Democracy.” The trend from the Suharto era to the early twenty‐first has been the appropriation of Islamic discourse by the state to legitimize its economic policies of engagement with the international political economy.

These include the following: Strategic Intelligence Center, Institute of National Defense, Institute of Joint Staff and Command Education/Military Staff and Command College, Military Academy, Military Industries, Military Police, Military Prosecutor-General, Center of People’s Resistance and Security, and Information Center. CURRENT DATA ON THE INDONESIAN MILITARY ELITE AFTER THE REORGANIZATION OF 1969-1970 (Prepared by the Editors) Periodically in the past, the editors of Indonesia have prepared lists of the officers holding key positions in the Indonesian army to keep readers abreast of developments. (See the issues of April 1967, October 1967, and April 1969). Until very recently, the important changes meredy involved individual officers. But on Armed Forces Day, October 5, 1969, General Suharto announced a major structural reorganization of the military hierarchy, and these changes were put into effect between November 1969 and April 1970. According to the military authorities, MThe concept of reorganization, which is aimed at integrating the armed forces, arose in 1966 after the communist coup attempt of 1965. The idea was based on the view that developing countries suffer from political instability due to con­ flict between competing groups."1 On October 6, the then Chief of Staff of the Department of Defense and Security, Lt. Gen. Sumitro, said that the integration of the armed forces "will prevent the occurrence of situations like those in Latin America where the seizure of power is always accompanied by activities on the part of one of the armed forces or individuals from the armed forces."2 The main thrust of the reorganization (for details of which see the footnotes) is in the direction of greatly increased centraliza­ tion of control within the Department of Defense and Security.

  • The Contestation of Social Memory in the New Media: a Case Study of the 1965 Killings in Indonesia
    Aktuelle Südostasienforschung Current Research on Southeast Asia The Contestation of Social Memory in the New Media: A Case Study of the 1965 Killings in Indonesia Hakimul Ikhwan, Vissia Ita Yulianto & Gilang Desti Parahita ► Ikhwan, H., Yulianto, V. I., & Parahita, G. D. (2019). The contestation of social memory in the new media: A case study of the 1965 killings in Indonesia. Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies, 12(1), 3-16. While today’s Indonesian democratic government remains committed to the New Order orthodoxy about the mass killings of 1965, new counter-narratives challenging official history are emerging in the new media. Applying mixed-methods and multi-sited ethnography, this study aims to extend our collaborative understanding of the most re- cent developments in this situation by identifying multiple online interpersonal stories, deliberations, and debates related to the case as well as offline field studies in Java and Bali. Practically and theoretically, we ask how the tragedy of the 1965 killings is contest- ed in the new media and how social memory plays out in this contestation. The study finds that new media potentially act as emancipatory sites channeling and liberating the voices of those that the nation has stigmatized as ‘objectively guilty’. We argue that the arena of contestation is threefold: individual, public vs. state narrative, and theoretical. As such, the transborder space of the new media strongly mediates corrective new voices to fill missing gaps in the convoluted history of this central event of modern Indonesian history. Keywords: 1965 Killings; Master vs. Counter Narratives; Memory Studies; New Media; Southeast Asia INTRODUCTION Indonesia experienced one of the 20th century’s worst mass killings.

Frederick Associate Professor of History Josep Rota Director of International Studies KARSONO, SONY. M.A. August 2005. International Studies Setting History Straight? Indonesian Historiography in the New Order (274 pp.) Director of Thesis: William H. Frederick This thesis discusses one central problem: What happened to Indonesian historiography in the New Order (1966-98)? To analyze the problem, the author studies the connections between the major themes in his intellectual autobiography and those in the metahistory of the regime. Proceeding in chronological and thematic manner, the thesis comes in three parts. Part One presents the author’s intellectual autobiography, which illustrates how, as a member of the generation of people who grew up in the New Order, he came into contact with history. Part Two examines the genealogy of and the major issues at stake in the post-New Order controversy over the rectification of history. Part Three ends with several concluding observations. First, the historiographical engineering that the New Order committed was not effective. Second, the regime created the tools for people to criticize itself, which shows that it misunderstood its own society. Third, Indonesian contemporary culture is such that people abhor the idea that there is no single truth.
