Commentary JAVANESE CULTURE has permeated Indonesian politics throughout Indonesia’s short political history. Sukarno’s quest for national unity drew inspiration heavily from the Javanese figure Gadjah Mada who was determined to unite the archipelago under the control of the Majapahit Kingdom. Benedict Anderson, writing in 1998 about Sukarno’s successor, described him thus: “[W]hen speaking off the cuff, Suharto sees himself not as a modern president but as a Javanese king.” Former President Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Sukarnoputri, and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono were also drawn to the practice of mysticism in search of wangsit or inspiration before taking important political decisions. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is similarly influenced by Javanese political culture though in his own ways.

    E-PAPER Indonesia Indonesiaʼs dilemma: The G20 and the United Nationsʼ Sustainable Development Goals within a national context MANFRED HORNUNG published by Heinrich Böll Foundation, May 2017 Indonesiaʼs dilemma: The G20 and the United Nationsʼ Sustainable Development Goals within a national context Manfred Hornung Content Indonesia's changing global role 3 National climate policy 4 National Energy Policy 8 Conclusion 10 The author 11 Imprint 11 Indonesia's changing global role The G20 has been gaining ground as a platform for dialogue among the heads of state and government since the Washington summit held in response to the global financial crisis in November 2008. Since then, Presidents of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (2004– 2014) and Joko Widodo (since October 2014) have attended the G20 summits regularly. In particular, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono regarded the G20 as an important platform to highlight Indonesia's global-political aspirations and increase the global stan- ding of Southeast Asia's most populous nation.[1] Yudhoyono's strategic efforts to under- line Indonesia's role in the G20 as an advocate for the interests of developing nations and the global South became apparent during the first summit in 2008, when he proposed the Global Expenditure Support Fund (GESF). By funding initiatives towards labour-intensive infrastructure intended to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals, the GESF would provide economic support to developing and emerging countries recovering from the after- math of the global financial crisis. Furthermore, Indonesia and France acting as co-chairs of the G20 Working Group 4 were tasked to suggest reforms of multilateral development banks which will allow them to respond to the financial crisis and the needs of developing countries affected by the financial meltdown with greater speed and efficiency.[2] President Yudhoyono's measures contributed significantly to a reworking of the G20's development policy goals.

  • Don't Make Us Choose: Southeast Asia in the Throes of US-China Rivalry
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS OCTOBER 2019 ASIA DON’T MAKE US CHOOSE Southeast Asia in the throes of US-China rivalry JONATHAN STROMSETH DON’T MAKE US CHOOSE Southeast Asia in the throes of US-China rivalry JONATHAN STROMSETH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY U.S.-China rivalry has intensified significantly in Southeast Asia over the past year. This report chronicles the unfolding drama as it stretched across the major Asian summits in late 2018, the Second Belt and Road Forum in April 2019, the Shangri-La Dialogue in May-June, and the 34th summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in August. Focusing especially on geoeconomic aspects of U.S.-China competition, the report investigates the contending strategic visions of Washington and Beijing and closely examines the region’s response. In particular, it examines regional reactions to the Trump administration’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) strategy. FOIP singles out China for pursuing regional hegemony, says Beijing is leveraging “predatory economics” to coerce other nations, and poses a clear choice between “free” and “repressive” visions of world order in the Indo-Pacific region. China also presents a binary choice to Southeast Asia and almost certainly aims to create a sphere of influence through economic statecraft and military modernization. Many Southeast Asians are deeply worried about this possibility. Yet, what they are currently talking about isn’t China’s rising influence in the region, which they see as an inexorable trend that needs to be managed carefully, but the hard-edged rhetoric of the Trump administration that is casting the perception of a choice, even if that may not be the intent.

  • Political Institutions in Indonesia Democracy, Decentralisation, Diversity
    BRIEFING Continental democracies Political institutions in Indonesia Democracy, decentralisation, diversity SUMMARY Until his downfall in 1998, General Suharto ruled Indonesia with an iron fist. Since then, a series of reforms have transformed his authoritarian 'New Order' into the world's third largest democracy (and largest Muslim democracy). Indonesia has a presidential system in which a directly elected president serves as both head of state and of government. A maximum two-term limit on the presidency helps to ensure a peaceful alternation of power. Also directly elected, the House of Representatives (the lower house of the bicameral People's Consultative Assembly) has asserted itself as a strong and independent institution. There are nine parliamentary parties, none of which holds a majority, obliging the government to seek support from a broad coalition. Despite the success of Indonesia's political reforms, its commitment to democratic values cannot be taken for granted. Although Indonesia has traditionally been a tolerant, multicultural society, a rising tide of Islamic populism threatens to disrupt the delicate balance between the country's Muslim majority and minorities such as Christians and Buddhists. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has had some success in tackling endemic graft in the country's courts, local governments and Parliament; however, the latter recently voted to weaken the KPK's powers. While trust in democratic institutions declines, the military – whose commitment to democratic values has often been

  • Indonesia's Role As the G20 Sherpa for 2022
    IRSEA Briefing July 21, 2021 Indonesia’s Role as the G20 Sherpa for 2022: An Ambassador’s Take As Indonesia will assume the Sherpa track (Chairmanship) of the G20 for 2022, benefiting of the full support of the G20 countries, President Joko Widodo has created a National Commission to steer the organisation of the Summit, themed “Recover Together, Recover Stronger”. The Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economy, Airlangga Hartanto, newly appointed by President Widodo as the Chair of the G20 Sherpa Track (virtually the agenda-setter of the Summit), stated that “The global pandemic of COVID-19 has made this forum face more complex challenges, and [I] expect that Indonesia will lead strategic measures to tackle the pandemic's impacts." As the Indonesian Foreign Minister, Retno Marsudi, put it, Indonesia “will build consensus to become a bridge builder and ensure that the interests of developing countries are reflected in G-20 decisions. (…) In this effort, the Indonesian Presidency will push for a number of priority issues, including: productivity, resilience, sustainability, partnership or enabling environment and global leadership". Following the national Indonesian press agency, Antara, the G20 chairmanship would enable the Southeast Asian country to have a voice in setting the agenda for the recovery of global economy after the COVID-19 crisis, including the stability of international financial system. Subsequently, the news agency assessed, the Sherpa track will also allow Jakarta to better integrate its prioritized policy areas, such as digitalization, human resources development, women and youths' empowerment and availability of vaccine stocks, into the global community’s agenda. According to the Indonesian Minister of Finances, Sri Mulyani, her country would “prepare a sustainable finance track agenda” that will assure the continuity of the current Italian incumbency.
