But persistence beyond the usual fruitful results as he finally accepted when enrolling in the junior high school in Sipirok. Due to the financial conditions are not good, the high school bench continued in the land of the wandering of Bandung. White-grey uniforms recently stripped 10 years later. Good luck favors the Bismar. With his potency, he managed to harness of opportunities when following exam the student faculty of law, University of Indonesia. After graduating from the University of Indonesia, he began his career as a Prosecutor in the State Attorney's Palembang on January 1957 to 1959. Then he continued his career in makasar and ambon State Prosecutor in 1959 to 1961. His career as a judge began in 1961 in the district court pangkalpinang. Besides pangkalpinang his name also been listed as a judge in the Court of Singapore for 6 years until 1968. Then Bismar a clerk at the Supreme Court in 1969 - 1971. His career rose when he became Chairman of the Court of North / East in 1971- 1980. Bismar siregar known as progressive justices. Because the clarity of conscience, bisma siregar always be a mirror for the judges. Every decision, conscience is what has always been a mainstay, her heart can not take a nirani to lie. Bismar verry serious in the uphold justice, for his the Act and the law is recommended in order to achieve a legal justice so much breakthrough that he did while he served as a judge of the supreme court, it was not to be interfered with by any person in making a decision, including the boss . In solving a problem that does not even set in the law, Bisma siregar not want to give up granted, for the sake of righteousness, for him the judge is the law. That principle makes Bismar considered as a strange and controversial judges by colleagues. Prof Satjipto Rahardjo a Professor of the Faculty of law of the Universitas diponegoro, in "ensiklopedi tokoh indonesia" say that Bismar is a straight figure. It does not rely on the provisions of law as the basis for a decision, but in conscience. After his conscience to decide, then he sought legal article as essentially. Beside a lawyer, Bismar siregar also have the soul of art, this is evidenced by one of the his hobbies that is paint. Almost five hundred works of painting that he had produced and one of the paintings Bismar up to now is still on display in the building of the Supreme Court of Indonesia. As a judge in the supreme court is the culmination of a career Bismar Siregar. Then he enjoy his retirement days since 1 December 1995. Although it has long since left the judgment seat, but his name was never forgotten as strict law enforcement and controversial. In line with his career Bismar thirsty for knowledge had studied at the National College of the State Judiciary, Reno, USA, in 1973, America Academy of Judicial Education, Tescaloosa, the US in the same year, and the Academy of American and International Law, Dallas, USA , in 1980.

Both defendants were initially sentenced to 10 months in prison by the Medan District Court, finally had to crouch respectively 15 and 10 years in prison after the High Court of North Sumatra led Bismar multiply their punishment. Another famous case ever handled by Bismar is, when Bismar change the punishment for a principal who rape his student , from only 7 months to 3 years. That was the case in 1965, the golden age of the Indonesian Communist Party. "Too light," said at the time Bismar. The headmaster is on trial for the obscene act was a figure of Rows of Indonesian farmer / PKI. But Bismar no hesitate to against the pressure of PKI. He argues, the judge is the representative of God on earth. Bismar also felt the maximum punishment for rape too light. Article 285 of the Criminal Code maximum sentence of only 12 years. In fact, the rapists is destroys the lives and future of woman. According to H. Harifin Andi Tumpa former Chairman of the Supreme Court, Bismar Siregar is a religious judge and progressive, he has contributed ideas for the renewal of the Court. Supreme Court Justice in the new order that has left us for good it has provided insight on the movement and color of law in the country. According to Professor of the Faculty of Law, University of Diponegoro Satjipto Rahardjo, Mr. Bismar when deciding a case always ask his conscience, to know whether the person will be sentenced evil or not, after that he was looking for a new code of laws for the underlying decision. Not only conscience and the Constitution Act, the decision issued by Bismar also rests on the teachings and scripture and religion defendant. Kepergian bismar siregar Bismar breathed his last on Thursday, April 19th, 2012 at 12:25 pm in Fatmawati Hospital. He was bleeding in the head with a sudden fainting earlier on April 16, 2012, when to paint in his house. Bismar very grateful for his life journey, life is concerned since childhood but managed to hold the title of which is quite prestigious in the field of law. Figure as Bismar Siregar certainly be missed in the present. Ridwan Mansyur, Head of law firm and Public Relations of the Supreme Court affirmed feel lost with Bismar Siregar is die. According to him, he is a mentor to him when he was a junior judge. Murphy revealed many lessons from him. Bismar be a motivator for the judges to carry out their duties well. The decisions he further highlight the justice of society aspects and have a strong power of law, although the verdict on the other hand it is sometimes assessed by the some parties controversial and far- fetched. Although the idealistic warriors laws that have gone more than a year ago and he has long since left the seat of court but his name still close to the ear part of Indonesian society.

    Indonesia's Accountability Trap: Party Cartels and Presidential Power after Democratic Transition Dan Slater1 Idolization and "Immediate Help!": Campaigning as if Voters Mattered On July 14, 2004, just nine days after Indonesia's first-ever direct presidential election, a massive inferno ripped through the impoverished, gang-infested district of Tanah Abang in central Jakarta. Hundreds of dwellings were destroyed and over a thousand Jakartans were rendered homeless. While such catastrophes are nothing unusual in the nation's chaotic capital, the political responses suggested that some interesting changes are afoot in Indonesia's fledgling electoral democracy. The next day, presidential frontrunner Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) took a break from watching his burgeoning vote totals at the five-star Borobodur Hotel to visit Tanah Abang's fire victims. Since he had just clinched pole position in Indonesia's run-off presidential election in late September, SBY's public appearance made fantastic copy. The handsome former general comforted distraught families, then crept, head and shoulders protruding through the sunroof of his campaign minivan, through a swarm of star-struck locals. Never mind the knock-off reality-television program screening for talent just a few miles away at the swanky Semanggi shopping complex; here, in one of Jakarta's least swanky settings, appeared to be the true Indonesian Idol. 1 This article draws on a comparative project with Marc Craighead, conversations and collaboration with whom have been invaluable in refining the theoretical arguments presented here. It has also greatly benefited from the thoughtful comments of Jamie Davidson, Dirk Tomsa, and an anonymous reviewer at Indonesia; the savvy and sensitive editing of Deborah Homsher; and generous fieldwork support from the Academy for Educational Development, Emory University, and the Ford Foundation.

  • One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: the Retrogression of Governance Reform and Anti- Corruption Measure in Indonesia 1999–2001
    One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Retrogression of Governance Reform and Anti- corruption Measure in Indonesia 1999–2001 VISHNU JUWONO* 1 Faculty of Administrative Science, Universitas Indonesia Prajudi Atmosudirdjo Building Lt. 2, Kampus UI Depok, West Java, 16424 Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRAK Terdapat harapan yang tinggi terhadap pemerintah yang baru saat Gus Dur dipilih menjadi presiden oleh Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (MPR) pada tahun 1999 un- tuk mendorong reformasi tata kelola dan inisiatif anti-korupsi yang lebih signifikan, mengingat Presiden Gus Dur dan Wakil Presiden Megawati merupakan tokoh utama oposisi di era Orde Baru masa Presiden Soeharto. Tulisan ini mencoba melakukan eva- luasi dari berbagai inisiatif reformasi tata kelola dan anti-korupsi yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia pada tahun 1999–2001. Argumen yang tertera dalam artikel ini adalah terdapat sebuah kesempatan untuk mendorong inisiatif yang lebih progresif dalam hal reformasi tata kelola dan inisiatif anti-korupsi, di mana terdapat pemimpin politik yang mendapat dukungan rakyat yang kuat melalui proses pemilihan umum yang jujur dan adil dengan diangkatnya Gus Dur dan Megawati Soekarnoputri sebagai Presden dan Wakil Presiden oleh Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (MPR). Namun kare- na persaingan politik yang begitu keras di antara para elite politik untuk memperoleh aset negara demi kepentingan kampanye politik 2004, membuat kemunduran dalam beberapa area terkait reformasi tata kelola seperti reformasi yudisial. Kata kunci: reformasi tata kelola, anti-korupsi, politik Indonesia, presiden Indonesia ABSTRACT There were high hopes that Gus Dur, after being appointed by the People Consultative Assembly (MPR) in 1999, would bring significant governance reform and more pro- gressive anti-corruption measures for the first time because two top leaders (Gus Dur and Megawati) were from the opposition in the New Order era.

  • REORGANISING POWER in INDONESIA: the POLITICS of OLIGARCHY in an AGE of MARKETS Richard Robison and Vedi R
    ‘Russia and the other transition economies have taught us that policy change involves a struggle over assets and that market-oriented reform can be hijacked to sustain, or even generate, new structures of power and corruption. In this powerful and historically rich book, Robison and Hadiz make the same point for the Indonesian oligarchy, showing its tremendous resilience in the face of a variety of external and internal pressures, from the IMF to the democratic opposition.’ Stephan Haggard, University of California San Diego, USA ‘[This] is the first study to spell out the nature of the relationship between a national oligarchy and the global market place. As such it is not only an important empirical study, it also represents a major critique of the neo-classical understanding of development that prevailed throughout the late 20th century.’ Richard Higgott, Editor, The Pacific Review ‘Vedi Hadiz and Richard Robison argue that what is taking place in Indonesia is the reorganization of the power relations incubated within the Soeharto regime rather than their fundamental transfor- mation, and that democratizing was instituted for the survival of the interests nurtured under Soeharto's rule as the institutional structures of the New Order became unviable. A must read for anyone inter- ested in Indonesia and “third world” transformations.’ Takashi Shiraishi, Kyoto University, Japan REORGANISING POWER IN INDONESIA Reorganising Power in Indonesia is a new and distinctive analysis of the dramatic fall of Soeharto, the last of the great Cold-War capitalist dictators, and of the struggles that are reshaping the institutions and systems of power and wealth in Indonesia.

  • Emergence of Human Rights Activities in Authoritarian Indonesia: the Rise of Civil Society
    EMERGENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVITIES IN AUTHORITARIAN INDONESIA: THE RISE OF CIVIL SOCIETY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Takeshi Kohno, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor R. William Liddle, Adviser Professor Marcus Kurtz ____________________________ Professor Craig Jenkins Adviser Political Science Graduate Program ABSTRACT My dissertation focuses on the activities of the human rights organization LBH (Lembaga Bantuan Hukum, the Legal Aid Institute) in Indonesia as a case study to assess its role in the rise of civil society, and possibly democratization. I argue that the academic foci on democratization so far have been upon, in general, the importance of large macro-structures and political elites. In particular, socioeconomic, cultural, and structural variables are treated as critical determinants of democracy. As for the micro-level approach, the political elites are the major players, at least for the short-run “transition” and “consolidation.” Although the macro-level variables and political elites are important, there are critical links between the macro- level variables and micro-level variables, which have been left unexamined. The existing literature on civil society fails to specify possible formation processes of a civil society in different political settings, and merely provides an ideal typology. In this dissertation, I propose a new approach to understanding the property and the dynamic workings of civil society by examining the state-society relations in authoritarian Indonesia between 1990 and 1998. I describe the interaction between the state and the society, as well as how social actors in their relationship to the state find ways not only to survive in an authoritarian regime but also to actively influence the state.
