Abstract

The Malaysian general election in March 2008 raised an interesting and new phenomenon. For the first time since independence in 1957, the ruling alliance known as the National Front (Barisan Nasional, BN) failed to secure two thirds of seats in parliament and lost control of five of Malaysia’s 13 states. This was due to the challenge presented by the new opposition alliance known as the Alternative Front (Barisan Alternatif, BA) or the People’s Alliance (Pakatan Rakyat, PK) which won more than 36% of seats in parliament and gained control of the five states. In the 2004 election, BN secured the largest ever percentage of seats in parliament with 91%. What is interesting is that it seems that this significant increase in support for the opposition is  due to their offer to change the way minorities and ethnicity is managed. They  propose a move from “Bumiputera Supremacy”, or affirmative action for the approximately 65% of “Bumiputera” Malaysians (the rest being largely of Chinese or Indian ethnicity), to “The People’s Supremacy”, which involves eradicating affirmative action based on ethnicity, basing it instead on need, for  instance need due to poverty. This would potentially increase the likelihood  of justice and equality for all ethnic or racial groups. This paper connects the phenomenon of change, as seen in the about turn in the results between the  2004 and 2008 elections, to the more global trend in which minorities are standing up to demand their rights in this era of globalization, and to the challenge multiculturalism presents to parts of the Muslim world such as Malaysia. Malaysia, a Muslim majority nation that has formally declared Islam the official state religion with Yang di-Pertuan Agong (the King) as  Head of the State and symbol of Islam, is one example, though not necessarily  representative, of how Islam and Muslims manage minorities and identity or  multiculturalism within the process of globalization.

Abstract

Di luar tumbuhnya berbagai gerakan Islam radikal dan fundamentalis paska tumbangnya Orde Baru, muncul pula gerakan Muslim progresif. Sebuah gerakan yang mengusung berbagai isu substansial untuk demokrasasi seperti pluralisme dan toleransi, hak-hak perempuan dalam Islam dan keadilan, atau hak-hak asasi manusia pada umumnya. Sebagian mereka tumbuh berkat keterbukaan politik di era reformasi, tetapi sebagian lainnya merupakan penjelmaan dari gerakan underground di era orde baru yang mengusung demokratisasi dengan titik masuk Islam. Kini mereka trerbangun jaringan kerja baik dalam level isu untuk mempertajam dan menggugat konsep-konsep konvesional tentang Islam mengiringi perubahan sosial politik, maupun dalam prkatik politik itu sendiri untuk menjaga sustainabilitas demokrasi. Bagaimanakah jaringan itu terbangun, bagaimana cara kerja mereka, isu apa saja yang mereka usung dan apa kelebihan dan kekuranagnnya, serta bagaimana prospek gerakan ini? Itulah beberapa masalah pokok yang hendak disajikan dalam presentasi ini

Abstract

This article, which focuses on observing individual and group actors in the social movement in South Thailand in a way that does not neglect the important contributions made by political actors as well as. By the insurgency and separatist movement, contends that insurgency, separatism, and violence are no longer the typical choice for those who strive for fundamental human rights in the Thai nation-state. Unfortunately, however, the central government of the Thai Kingdom has not been very responsive nor has it taken these demands seriously. It has shown a lack of political will in granting these actors more extensive rights as demanded on a global scale by recent developments in human rights and the rethinking of the concept of nationalism and national identity.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v17i1.467

Abstract

As a part of the Myanmar transition to democracy, which began after the election in 2010, the census on March-April 2014 refused to count the Rohingya ethnic group. This was symbolic of the Myanmar government’s rejection of Rohingya people as citizens. The paradox is that democracy necessitates a guarantee of fundamental freedoms and recognition of all group identities. Through in depth interviews with a number of Rohingya political and social leaders at the end of March 2014, in Yangon, this research details the Rohingya struggle to secure their rights in the political process. A number of documents both from the Rohingya and from the Myanmar government justify why and how the process of exclusion and discrimination occurs. This research will conclude with a discussion of the challenges and recommended steps for the future to accommodate the Rohingya as Myanmar citizens, and of the need for international and regional support.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v22i1.1387

Abstract

This paper is aimed to understand the issue of citizenship and the post colonial minority dilema by looking ath the issue of Sabah and the Sultanate of Sulu. Unlike western countries whosestates were formed based on their established historical territories, the formation of states in the east or non-western areas in general inherited complicated religious, ethnic, traditional rules and familial relations. Non-western post-colonial states should developed different conceptions ofstate-borders by considering traditional cutural realities, multicultural and plural ethnicities, languages and religions and family connections within each state or among several states. This re-defintion should not eliminate individual ownership but also to promote a vision of commonwelfare.Keywords: Citizenship, Minority, Sabah, Sulu Sultanate

Abstract

Globalization has encouraged the emergence of a challenge to respect minority rights are stronger in almost all countries are plural. The appearance was not only urged the governments in many countries to change their vision of nationalism, it even challenged the great narratives such as Islam, democracy and human rights to change the doctrine of justice that are not conventional. For that Islam, democracy and human rights alike are facing a change that can no longer be seen with the measures and standardization of the old uniform. This paper raised the challenge of empirical findings in Southeast Asia by taking samples of Malaysia, Thailand, and Philippines.

Abstract

ISLAM NUSANTARA: Journal for Study of History and Culture dimaksudkan sebagai wadah untuk membangun pengetahuan atau keilmuan tentang Islam Nusantara. Sejak diangkat menjadi tema Muktamar Nahdlatul Ulama XXXIII tahun 2015 di Jombang, Jawa Timur kata majemuk Islam Nusantara memang memperoleh gaung dan perhatian publik yang besar bahkan pada level dunia. Namun hal itu sebagian diperdebatkan pada dataran artifisial dan bahkan politis sehingga belum muncul adanya argumentasi historis dan epistemologis yang memadai dan kuat. Ada sejumlah institusi yang telah mendorong dan membahas tentang ini cukup serius seperti dua kali seminar internasional PCI NU Belanda dan juga beberapa penerbitan termasuk jurnal di beberapa perguruan tinggi. Fakultas Islam Nusantara Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Indonesia melalui jurnal ini hendak melengkapi ikhtiar tersebut dalam rangka memperkuat bangunan argumentasi Islam Nusantara sebagai kajian ilmiah. Islam Nusantara tidak dimaksudkan untuk membangun tembok identitas melainkan sebaliknya untuk mencairkannya namun dengan argumentasi keagamaan kultural historis dan epistemologis yang memadai. Edisi perdana jurnal ini dipakai sebagai momentum mengawali pencarian landasan keilmuan tersebut secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Nusantara is known as the world's main supplier of spices since classical times. Various spices such as pepper, nutmeg and cloves are excellent in the international market. Studies on Indonesian spices, as conducted by Wellan, OW Wolters, J.C. Van Leur, Chalwani Michrob to Fahmi Irfani show a map of the important pepper trade in Sumatra and Java. It should be noted that the spice trade network is also related to the spiritual contact between Islam and Hindu-Buddhist teachings or local beliefs. This can be seen traces in Palembang, Banten and Demak. By using the historical method armed with a socio-economic approach, a number of historical explanations can be found. The author uses an explanation model by looking at the function of the port on the coast, its relation to trade routes in the interior. The purpose of writing this article is to present a new studyfor the historical discourse of Islam Nusantara. As is well known, seas, lakes, rivers and various watery inlets, both dynamic and static, are not a barrier to human interaction in the archipelago. In addition to the commercial aspect, which has been widely reviewed by a number of previous researchers, there is other information that has not been discussed, namely the existence of a spiritual-intellectual network that is connected between one area and another. The author finds a number of interesting facts, such as the emergence of the discourse of Islamic cosmopolitanism which is the result of a dialogue between immigrant and coastal communities. For example, in the case of the establishment of the Palembang Sultanate, Ki Gede ing Suro, a political figure from Demak, built a mosque near the Kutogawang Palace as a locus of Islamic education for the local population. There are findings in the form of the distribution of Ilmu Kebal (similar to Ilmu Pancasona) which was inherited by Arya Penangsang from Jipang Panolan, Central Java, to his descendants who are believed to still exist in the Mount Batu, Komering. This cross-island relationship isan important finding that confirms that in the XV-XVI centuries, cross-island intellectual spiritual contacts have been found in the archipelago. This article is the result of research on cities and intellectual networks in Palembang, Banten and Palembang funded by the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia.
