Waiting on Washington: Southeast Asia Hopes for a Post-Election Boost in Us Relations
US-SOUTHEAST ASIA RELATIONS WAITING ON WASHINGTON: SOUTHEAST ASIA HOPES FOR A POST-ELECTION BOOST IN US RELATIONS CATHARIN DALPINO, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY The resurgent COVID-19 pandemic and US elections constrained the conduct of US relations with Southeast Asia and of regional affairs more broadly in the final months of 2020. Major conclaves were again “virtual”, including the ASEAN Regional Forum, the East Asia Summit. and the APEC meeting. Over the year, ASEAN lost considerable momentum because of the pandemic, but managed to oversee completion of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in November. Some modest gains in US-Southeast Asian relations were realized, most notably extension of the US-Philippines Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) for another six months, an opportunity for Manila and the new administration in Washington to put the VFA—and the US-Philippines alliance more broadly—on firmer ground. Another significant step, albeit a more controversial one, was the under-the-radar visit to Washington of Indonesian Defense Minister, Prabowo Subianto, in October.

Unclassified Embassy of India Jakarta
Unclassified Embassy of India Jakarta INDIA-INDONESIA BILATERAL RELATIONS India and Indonesia have shared two millennia of close cultural and commercial contacts. The Hindu, Buddhist and later Muslim faith travelled to Indonesia from the shores of India. The stories from great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata form source of Indonesian folk art and dramas. The shared culture, colonial history and post-independence goals of political sovereignty, economic self-sufficiency and independent foreign policy have unifying effect on the bilateral relations. POLITICAL RELATIONS Owing to struggle against colonial powers, democratic traditions, pluralist culture, and progressive leadership which both countries shared, India and Indonesia developed friendly relations. President Sukarno of Indonesia was the Guest of Honour during the first Republic Day of India in 1950. Independent India and Indonesia became chief votaries of independence of Asian and African countries, the spirit which led to historic Bandung Conference of 1955 and later formation of Non-Aligned Movement in 1961. Since the adoption of India’s ‘Look East Policy’ in 1991, there has been a rapid development of bilateral relations in political, security, defence, commercial and cultural fields. The current Government expressed its intent to further deepen the engagement with East Asia and by renaming the policy as “Act East”. IMPORTANT VISITS AND OTHER ENGAGEMENTS Visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2018: Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited Jakarta on 29-30 May 2018 at the invitation of the President of Indonesia Mr. Joko Widodo. During this visit, both Leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation in all areas by establishing a New Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to take Indonesia and India’s bilateral relationship into a new era. -
IKI Newsletter Indonesia
IKI Newsletter Indonesia 11TH EDITION September 2020 About the International Climate Initiative Since 2008, the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMU) has been financing climate and biodiversity projects in developing and newly industrialising countries, as well as in countries in transition. Based on a decision taken by the German parliament (Bundestag), a sum of at least 120 million euros is available for use by the initiative annually. For the first few years the IKI was financed through the auctioning of emission allowances, but it is now funded from the budget of the BMU. The IKI is a key element of Germany’s climate financing and the funding commitments in the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Initiative places clear emphasis on climate change mitigation, adaption to the impacts of climate change and the protection of biological diversity. These efforts provide various cobenefits, particularly the improvement of living conditions in partner countries. The IKI focuses on four areas: mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to the impacts of climate change, conserving natural carbon sinks with a focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), as well as conserving biological diversity. New projects are primarily selected through a two-stage procedure that takes place once a year. Priority is given to activities that support creating an international climate protection architecture, to transparency, and to innovative and transferable solutions that have an impact beyond the individual project. The IKI cooperates closely with partner countries and supports consensus building for a comprehensive international climate agreement and the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity. -

A Critical Discourse Analysis of Women, Power, and Social-Political
A Critical Discourse Analysis of Women, Power, and Social-Political Change in the Indonesian Online News Media Jane Louise Ahlstrand BA Asian and International Studies BA Languages and Applied Linguistics (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Languages and Cultures Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences i Abstract In recognition of the increasing relevance of the online news media and women’s political subjectivity to Indonesia’s democratic transformation since the fall of the authoritarian New Order in 1998, this thesis examines the discursive representation of three prominent Indonesian female political leaders and their relationship with power in the political reportage of mainstream online news media site, Kompas.com. The three women in focus are the leader of the ruling PDI-P (Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle), Megawati Soekarnoputri; Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti; and Mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini. Situated in the broader historical context of post-authoritarianism, the specific time period of enquiry spans the two-year transition from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2015, centred upon the fiercely contested 2014 presidential election. By focusing on the mediated representation of three prominent women in the language of the online news media, this thesis aims to interrogate shifting representations of relations of power in a context of social and political change in Indonesia. It aims more broadly to evaluate the implications for Indonesia’s democratisation, the associated role of the Indonesian news media, and identify obstacles and opportunities for women to participate in democratic political life. -
Guide to the 2019 Indonesian Elections
GUIDE TO THE 2019 INDONESIA ELECTIONS KEVIN EVANS INDONESIA DIRECTOR, THE AUSTRALIA-INDONESIA CENTRE ELECTION DAY IN 2019 On Wed 17 April 2019, 190 million Indonesian voters will set off to the polls to elect their President and Vice-President. On this day they will also elect 136 members of the national Regions House, a kind of weak Senate, together with 575 members of the powerful House of Representatives. In addition they will elect 2,207 provincial level MPs from the 34 Provinces and also elect 17,610 local councillors across more than 500 local authorities. GUIDE TO THE 2019 INDONESIA ELECTIONS THE PATH TO THE PRESIDENCY To win the election, a Presidential/Vice-presidential team must secure over 50% of the popular vote. If no candidate secures 50% of the vote in the first round then the top two candidate pairs face off in a second round. The path to winning the election, however, consists of several stages. The process begins with nomination. While Indonesia today, like the USA, operates a presidential system of government, the DNA from the country’s various old parliamentary systems is often close to the surface. For example, candidacy is determined by demonstrating support from parties in the House of Representatives (DPR). A candidate team needs to show they have the support of parties commanding at least 20% of seats in the current DPR or 25% of the votes their parties secured in the last election. Given that there are no large parties in the current Parliament (the largest party commands less than 20% of the seats and votes), candidate teams invariably form coalitions of support. -
