Gus Dur, As the President Is Usually Called
Indonesia Briefing Jakarta/Brussels, 21 February 2001 INDONESIA'S PRESIDENTIAL CRISIS The Abdurrahman Wahid presidency was dealt a devastating blow by the Indonesian parliament (DPR) on 1 February 2001 when it voted 393 to 4 to begin proceedings that could end with the impeachment of the president.1 This followed the walk-out of 48 members of Abdurrahman's own National Awakening Party (PKB). Under Indonesia's presidential system, a parliamentary 'no-confidence' motion cannot bring down the government but the recent vote has begun a drawn-out process that could lead to the convening of a Special Session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) - the body that has the constitutional authority both to elect the president and withdraw the presidential mandate. The most fundamental source of the president's political vulnerability arises from the fact that his party, PKB, won only 13 per cent of the votes in the 1999 national election and holds only 51 seats in the 500-member DPR and 58 in the 695-member MPR. The PKB is based on the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), a traditionalist Muslim organisation that had previously been led by Gus Dur, as the president is usually called. Although the NU's membership is estimated at more than 30 million, the PKB's support is drawn mainly from the rural parts of Java, especially East Java, where it was the leading party in the general election. Gus Dur's election as president occurred in somewhat fortuitous circumstances. The front-runner in the presidential race was Megawati Soekarnoputri, whose secular- nationalist Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) won 34 per cent of the votes in the general election. -

Bernard Platzdasch. Islamism in Indonesia: Politics in the Emerging D em ocracy. Singapore: ISEAS Publishing, Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, 2009. 452 pp. Julie Chernov Hwang To date, most of the published scholarship on Islamist parties in Indonesia has fallen into two main categories, either single case studies, often focusing on the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS, Partai Keadilan Sejahtera), or articles that assess the grand sweep of Indonesian political parties, highlighting the most significant characteristics of individual parties and addressing the broad trends in party behavior. While many of those studies are highly insightful and theoretically grounded, comparatively few have succeeded in balancing depth with breadth. Islamism in Indonesia is a robust comparative study assessing the three most significant Islamist parties in the Indonesian political system: Partai Keadilan (PK, Justice Party; also, since 2003, PKS), Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (PPP, United Development Party), and Partai Bulan Bintang (PBB, Crescent and Star Party). While Bernard Platzdasch's book spans the period from 1955 to 2009, the bulk of his analysis centers on the transition period, between 1998 and 2002. Platzdasch contends that Islamists endeavor to apply Islamic philosophy, law, and morality to politics for very specific doctrinal, theological, and historical reasons. Namely, Islamists believe that syariah law is more indigenous and better suited to Indonesia than is colonially derived civil law. Moreover, to varying degrees, Islamists view Muslims -
The Rise of Islamic Religious-Political
Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi THE RISE OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN INDONESIA The Background, Present Situation and Future1 Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi The Institute for Islamic Studies of Darussalam, Gontor Ponorogo, Indonesia Abstract: This paper traces the roots of the emergence of Islamic religious and political movements in Indonesia especially during and after their depoliticization during the New Order regime. There were two important impacts of the depoliticization, first, the emergence of various study groups and student organizations in university campuses. Second, the emergence of Islamic political parties after the fall of Suharto. In addition, political freedom after long oppression also helped create religious groups both radical on the one hand and liberal on the other. These radical and liberal groups were not only intellectual movements but also social and political in nature. Although the present confrontation between liberal and moderate Muslims could lead to serious conflict in the future, and would put the democratic atmosphere at risk, the role of the majority of the moderates remains decisive in determining the course of Islam and politics in Indonesia. Keywords: Islamic religious-political movement, liberal Islam, non-liberal Indonesian Muslims. Introduction The rise of Islamic political parties and Islamic religious movements after the fall of Suharto was not abrupt in manner. The process was gradual, involving numbers of national and global factors. 1 The earlier version of this paper was presented at the conference “Islam and Asia: Revisiting the Socio-Political Dimension of Islam,” jointly organized by Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) and Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM), 15-16 October, Tokyo. -

Political Parties and Voter Mobilisation in Local Government Elections in Indonesia: the Case of Manado City
Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government of the University of Canberra Stefanus Sampe Political Parties and Voter Mobilisation in Local Government Elections in Indonesia: the case of Manado City January 2015 Abstract Democratisation and decentralisation in Indonesia have brought significant changes in local politics, especially concerning elections. Since the enactment of Law 32/2004 on Local Government, the local executive elections in Indonesia, which were previously done by the local councils, have been carried out directly by the people. People have been given the opportunity to exercise their right to determine their leaders at the local level. Likewise, political parties have seized the opportunity to participate in local elections by recruiting candidates and mobilising voters. The direct local government election has become a central element in Indonesia’s decentralisation policy. Through the election, the local people are encouraged to participate in choosing their leaders and passing judgment on government’s performance. However, there is far less research and writing on local elections than on national elections, both in Indonesia and in developing countries more generally. This thesis aims to make a contribution to filling this gap in the literature on local election by in-depth case study research on electoral mobilisation undertaken by political parties in the local government elections in Indonesia. The research examines in detail the ways in which political parties in an Indonesian city, Manado, go about mobilising citizens to vote for their candidate and seeks different actors’ views on the effectiveness on the various mobilisation techniques. This research uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches to examine the 2010 local government election in Manado City. -

Paradigma Fiqih Sosial Kh Ali Yafie
PARADIGMA FIQIH SOSIAL KH ALI YAFIE Moh Dahlan Dosen IAIN Bengkulu Alamat:Jl. Raden Fatah Pagar Dewa Bengkulu Email: [email protected] (08179403094) Abstract : This study aims to examine the social fiqh paradigm of KH Ali Yafi e which is formulated as follows: what is the historical existence of social fiqh paradigm of KH Ali Yafi e in Indonesia? how is the development of social fiqh paradigm of KH Ali Yafi e in Indonesia? Using the ushul fiqih scholarship framework, this study concludes that First, the historical existence of KH Ali Yafie’s thought developed from the tradition of moderate pesantren scholarship, so that his struggle remained within the line of moderate Islamic movements within the Nahdlatul Ulama, to the top post, Rais Aam PBNU. Similarly his role in MUI. Although moderate, but firm stance also remains firmly proven KH Ali Yafi e resigned from Pjs. Rais Aam PBNU because of differences in legal views with KH Abdurrahman Wahid. Second, the thought of fiqh KH Ali Yafie contributed not less because he has given solutions that others do not think of, such as how to make the sciences of history and natural sciences as a knife of analysis in studying the law of fiqih. Similarly his strongly proven national- ism attitude puts the fatwa of KH Hasyim Asy’arie on the obligation to defend the state as a legal fatwa which must be ignored by Muslim scholars and Muslims. Keywords: Ijtihad, law of fiqh, and historical existence. Abstrak: Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti paradigma fiqih sosial KH Ali Yafi e yang dirumuskan sebagai berikut : bagaimana eksistensi historis paradigma fiqih sosial KH Ali Yafi e di Indonesia? bagaimana pembangunan paradigma fiqih sosial KH Ali Yafi e di Indonesia? Dengan menggunakan kerangka keilmuan ushul fiqih, kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Pertama, eksistensi historis pemikiran KH Ali Yafi e berkembang dari tradisi keilmuan pesantren yang berciri moderat, sehingga perjuangannya tetap berada dalam garis gerakan keagamaan Islam yang moderat di lingkungan Nahdlatul Ulama, hingga jabatan puncak, Rais Aam PBNU. -

Respon Terhadap Modernisme
DINAMIKA NU DAN MODERNISME KEAGAMAAN OLEH: HAMIDAH A. Prawacana Sejarah masuk dan berkembangnya Islam di Indonesia tidak dapat dipisahkan dari keterlibatan kegiatan perdagangan yang berkembang sejak abad ke XI. Adanya kontak dagang tersebut menyebabkan tumbuhnya pemukiman masyarakat muslim di wilayah pesisir kepulauan Nusantara, sehingga lambat laun Islam telah menjadi bagian yang menguasai batin masyarakat Indonesia. Keberadaan Islam di Indonesia tidak terlepas dari kultur masyarakat setempat. Pergumulan Islam dengan kultur yang telah mendarah daging menuntut adanya adaptasi yang kontinu tanpa harus kehilangan ide aslinya. Islam, ketika berhadapan dengan realitas sejarah, akan memunculkan realitas baru yang tidak hanya diakibatkan pergumulan internalnya dalam merespon masalah yang muncul tetapi juga keterlibatannya dalam proses sejarah yang bertindak sebagai subyek yang ikut membentuk keadaan zaman. Salah satu wujud dari fenomena tersebut adalah organisasi NU yang berdiri di Surabaya pada tahun 1926. Organisasi ini dipelopori para kyai yang berpusat di Pesantren-pesantren yang berdasar pada tradisi keilmuan tertentu. M. Ali Haidar menyebutkan bahwa: “ Organisasi NU berkesinambungan menelusuri mata rantai historis sejak abad pertengahan yaitu apa yang disebut Ahlu al-sunnah wal Jama’ah “.1 1 M. Ali Haidar, NU dan Islam di Indonesia: Pendekatan Fiqh dalam Politik, ( Jakarta: Gramedia, 1995), h. 2 NU merupakan suatu organisasi ulama tradisional yang mempunyai jumlah pengikut yang banyak. Martin menyebutkan: “ NU memiliki paling tidak dua puluh juta muslim meskipun tidak terdaftar secara resmi tetapi merasa terikat pada NU melalui ikatan kesetiaan primordial (tradisi pesantren dan kharismatik kyai)”.2 Disamping itu, NU juga merupakan organisasi non-pemerintah yang tergolong besar yang masih mengakar di kalangan bawah. Azyumardi Azra menyebutnya sebagai fenomena rural.3 Disebut demikian karena mayoritas pengikut NU berasal dari masyarakat desa (rural area) yang pola hidupnya masih sederhana dan cenderung tradisional. -
Indonesia's Ulama and Politics
Indonesia's ulama and politics Martin van Bruinessen, "Indonesia's ulama and politics: caught between legitimising the status quo and searching for alternatives", Prisma — The Indonesian Indicator (Jakarta), No. 49 (1990), 52-69. Indonesia’s Ulama and Politics: Caught Between Legitimising the Status Quo And Searching for Alternatives The relationship between ulama, ‘men of Islamic learning,’ and umara, ‘holders of political power,’ has always been ambivalent. On the one hand, ulama at least in the Sunni tradition have always provided religious legitimation for the de facto power holders. On the other hand, there is also a general awareness that power corrupts and that proximity to those in power impairs the ulama’s moral authority and the integrity of their learning. There is a well-known hadith to that effect, often quoted in popular sermons: “the worst among the ulama are those who go and see the umara, while the best among the umara are those who come and see the ulama.” It has been pointed out that this hadith is actually ‘weak’ (da`if), meaning that its attribution to the Prophet is considered very dubious.[1] The fact that it is frequently quoted by ulama and popular preachers in Indonesia nevertheless indicates that the saying expresses something about which they have strong feelings. In a recent research project on the Indonesian ulama’s worldview, about half the ulama interviewed volunteered this hadith when asked what was the correct form of Islam-state relations.[2] Moral, economic and political independence (kemandirian) vis-à-vis the government is a quality that almost all respondents considered essential.
