  • FEDERALISM, ETHNIC POLITICS and VIOLENT CONFLICT Molly
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: WHEN NATIONAL MINORITIES BECOME LOCAL MAJORITIES: FEDERALISM, ETHNIC POLITICS AND VIOLENT CONFLICT Molly Inman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Johanna K. Birnir Department of Government and Politics What explains the variation in ethnic conflict in federal systems? Existing theory and empirical evidence are mixed, with some saying it decreases violence, and some saying increases it. This puzzle also leads to a number of research questions: why does federalism fail to resolve the problem of violent ethnic conflict? Why does local ethnic politics in federal units frequently lead to violence within the ethnic group? What effect does federalism have on violence between ethnic groups? Why do central governments intervene with force into local interethnic conflicts rather than simply allowing the local government of the federal unit to resolve the issue? Conversely, why does federalism sometimes work in preventing violent conflict and session in countries where ethnic politics is salient? The theory presented here asserts that the level of intraethnic political compe- tition within the national minority/local majority and the political incentives created by devolving power to the local level determine the answers. I develop a new theory of local ethnic outbidding by minority groups in federal systems which explains how local ethnic politics turns violent when intraethnic political competition is high. Previous theories have focused almost exclusively on national level politics and vi- olence and have largely ignored the subnational level. I also explain how central governments become involved in local ethnic conflicts in federal systems, because local minorities being targeted call upon them for assistance.

  • Election Update Issue 2, Oct/Nov 2008
    Election Update Issue 2, Oct/Nov 2008 The Multi-Choice Elections 2009 will be an important year for reformasi in Indonesia, which began in 1998 after the downfall of the dictatorial Suharto regime. On 9 April 2009, elections will be held for the Indonesian Parliament, the DPR (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, People’s Representative Assembly), the DPD (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, Regional Representatives Council) and provincial assemblies. Three months later, the first round of direct elections will be held for the President and Vice-President. No fewer than 38 political parties will participate in the legislative elections. Just ten years ago, Indonesia emerged from what was in effect a one-party system. The bicameral system of Indonesian Parliament became increasingly powerless. governance is only five years old, following the creation of the DPD, first elected in 2004. The MPs were only allowed to rubber-stamp new DPD is composed of four representatives from laws. Serious discussions were seen as a each province, all non-party independents.

  • Moderation and Immoderation Among Islamic Political Parties
    Moderation and Immoderation among Islamic Political Parties Colm Fox Jeremy Menchik Assistant Professor of Political Science Assistant Professor School of Social Science Pardee School of Global Studies Singapore Management University Boston University This Version: June 12, 2019 Word count: 8,665 (includes all text, footnotes/endnotes, references, and tables/figures) Abstract: What factors cause parties to become more or less moderate is an important question in studies of Islam and politics. Existing research on moderation has been almost entirely qualitative, focusing on change over time at the national level, and has examined either moderation or immoderation rather than looking for evidence of both processes simultaneously. We coded the appeals contained on the campaign posters of 570 Indonesian candidates from Islamic political parties so as to map the conditions under which they made either moderate or immoderate appeals. We found that party ideology, demographics, urban-rural differences, and the level of government office (i.e., national or regional) affected candidate behavior. The study shows the effectiveness of a new data source and suggests new opportunities to study the conditions under which anti-system parties will either challenge democratic values or help to make democracy work. Keywords: Islam, political parties, democracy, moderation, election campaigns, election posters Acknowledgements: This article has benefited from feedback from Dodi Ambardi, Ulil Abshar Abdalla, Sunny Tanuwidjaja, Donald Emmerson, and workshop participants at the Freedom Institute, the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta, and the Shorenstein Asia Pacific Research Center at Stanford University. We received exceptional research assistance from Sugianto Tandra, Firman Witoelar, Kevin Fogg, and Dani Alfah.

  • 9 Clearing an Airfield with Wooden Logs | Appointments As Chairman of the DPRD of Yapen-Waropen and As HPB for the Yapen-Waropen Area
    9 Clearing an airfi eld with wooden logs Florenz Imbiri It was by using only wooden logs to pound the earth firm and smooth that we managed to clear the airfield in Moanemani, Wisselmeren (pres- ent day Paniai). Without the aid of machines and heavy equipment, the work took eight months’ time to complete. All the adult residents of the villages around Moanemani, men and women, amounting to ap- proximately six thousand people, joined in to help. They were given their choice of payment: in money or in beads. Yet many of them preferred beads. ‘We prefer beads. Just pay us in beads’, is how they asked for their wages. A few members of the community were familiar with money, and they asked to be paid in money. Thus, in that way, they worked with pleasure. Aside from the airfield, we also worked on a whole network of roads from Moanemani to Obano, then from Waghete to Enarotali, again with the work done by villagers, digging and making roads that could eventually be used for vehicles. So, starting from 1959 they were acquainted with cars and airplanes. They were jubilant about the development and progress they achieved. Upon graduating from OSIBA in 1957 I took a stance and made the decision to work in the interior. I wanted to be together with communi- ties considered to be extremely underdeveloped at that time. I wanted to contribute the knowledge I had gained to the advancement of the people in the interior so that they too could enjoy progress. We were given time to select places to work.

  • Family Rule in Wajo, South Sulawesi
    ANDI FAISAL BAKTI Family rule in Wajo, South Sulawesi Introduction In this chapter I examine the position of aristocratic power holders in the district of Wajo, South Sulawesi, from the late New Order until the elections in 2004. In particular I address the following questions: 1. To what extent was administrative power embedded in aristocratic family rule in the late New Order? Which families were involved, and how did they exercise their rule? 2. What was the impact of Reformasi and regional autonomy in Wajo? What changes can be observed? 3. What was the effect of the elections in 2004 on the position of the aristocracy? 4. Finally, what kind of changes took place in the local power structure between the late New Order period and 2004? Christian Pelras (1976:314) analysed traditional authority in Wajo in the 1960s. He concluded that members of the aristocracy would remain in power, although in forms which differ from those of the past. Similarly Burhan Magenda (1989:891-2) emphasized with regard to South Sulawesi the surviv- al of the local aristocracy within the administrative apparatus (pamong praja). The fact that the pamong praja had become the bastion of local aristocrats is not surprising given the fact that the local bureaucracy had grown out of the dynastic bureaucracy of the ‘self-governing territories’ dating from the colo- nial period. The decentralization reforms of 1938 brought about the enlarge- ment of the dynastic bureaucracy, accommodating the fruits of expanded educational opportunities and a growing number of aristocrats (Burhan Magenda 1989:896). With respect to the Philippines, Benedict Anderson (1988) described a so-called ‘cacique democracy’, in which a well-entrenched oligarchy cooperates with a strong central state machine.

Local political parties are restricted from contesting even local elections, making Indonesia unique in the world of multiparty democracies. Despite widespread antipathy to local political parties in Indonesia, the peace agreement between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) paved the way for parties representing exclusively local interests to contest provincial legislative elections in Aceh in April 2009. In a major test for Indonesia’s democratic political system, the local party representing the former rebels secured an impressive victory in those elections. CDI PPS 2010/01 PPS CDI Based on a province-wide survey of voters in Aceh and in-depth interviews with local and national party leaders, this study examines the Aceh Party victory and its implications for Jakarta-Aceh relations.

  • Golkar: the Embodiment of New Order That Still Appeals
    Golkar: The Embodiment of New Order that Still Appeals Ulla Fionna1 Department of Politics and International Relations, Faculty of Arts, Macquarie University and Department of Government and International Relations, Faculty of Arts, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia Abstract At the end of Suharto’s long authoritarian rule in 1998, few would throw their support for Golkar – the former government-backed party. Golkar (Golongan Karya or lit. functional group) changed its name to Partai Golkar (Golka r Party), but the stigma of being the former government’s main hand in controlling and manipulating elections has stuck on. However, against popular belief, the party has managed to continue its electoral success. This article explores the factors behind the continued popularity of Partai Golkar. Investigating its history, close connection with the military, and the changes the party had been undergoing since the start of the reform (reformasi) era, this article argues that the success of the party has been supported by the adoption of new image, the prevalence of money politics, and the strength of the party outside the main island of Java. Key words: Indonesian politics, Golkar Party, election, reformasi, party popularity Indonesia’s new order era (1966 -1998) is associated with rapid economic development, but also with Soeharto’s authoritarian rule, corruption, strong military rule, and extensive government control.i Pro-reform movement brought an end to new order in 1998 and strengthened anti-Soeharto sentiments. Golkar or golongan karya (literally means functional group), the new order government’s party, received the same negative reaction and was predicted to die soon after 1998.
