Abstract

Radicalism nowadays becomes a popular discourse in Indonesia. The fall of Soeharto in 1998 was also followed by the rise of some groups which enroots their ideology and value with the ideology of Islamic political movement in Middle East. Many authors even connect this phenomenon to terrorism. By those points of view, they try to encounter terrorism by de-radicalizing people and promoting the empowerment of moderate society. But this point of view is argued by some authors who think that terrorism differs from radicalism. It is structural problem –poverty, oppression, political authoritarianism— which implies violence and terror. It leads us to a question: What cause radicalism? This article attempts to analyze the historical and political-economic root of Radical Islam group in Indonesia. By analyzing those problems, we will elaborate the problem of Islamic radicalism in structural perspective of post-New Order Indonesia.

Abstract

In the early of 2012, The Government of Indonesia launched a policy proposal remove fuel price subsidy and raise its price up to Rp 6.000. This proposal was followed by mass protests from student, labor, and civil society movement in many provinces. These protest, which was supported by opposition party in parliament (PDIP, Gerindra, and Hanura), ended up with a political compromy at the House of Representative plenary session: The government has opportunity to adjust fuel prices with ‘international oil price’ of Indonesian Crude Price (ICP) rises or falls around 15% in 6 months. Why do the fuel pricing scheme become very dependent with international oil price which is very oligopolistic (Berger dkk, 1988)? Is it a part of the oligarchy consolidation in Indonesia (Robison dkk, 2004)? This paper will try to answer this question by analyzing the political economy of Post-1998 Indonesian oil sector management.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze some linkages between revolution, public sphere, and transnational activism through social media in the Middle East. A revolution in Tunisia in 2011 became an international issue after the revolution spreaded to other states in the region. After Tunisia, protest movements began to ignite in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Jordania. This wave of revolution comes into a public discourse: what causes this movement? How could a revolution in one country inspire another revolution in another country? To answer these questions, we analyze the role of social media as a “bridge” to connect activists in the Middle East to make a revolution. We conclude that transnational activism was formed by routine and massive reports from media which explained what hadhappened in the Middle East during the revolution. The reports were followed by a spread of the idea of democracy and civil rights through social media. As a consequence, revolution took place in several other countries whose socio-cultural tradition are similar to that of Tunisia.

Abstract

This article develops a theory of European power as ‘governmentality’, with a particular reference to European Union (EU)’s engagement of civil society in Indonesia through a package of “civil society strengthening programs”. In contrast to some arguments of ‘normative power’ or ‘civilian power’ in the European Union, that put emphasis on EU’s normative framework in explaining EU’s diplomatic engagements in world politics, this article argues that European Union’s global outreach is best seen as the politics of governmentality, which comprises the spread of norms to the “global south” through various developmental strategies in order to form particular subjectivities based on European Union’s “normative framework”. This argument will be applied to empirically explain the role of EU’s engagement of civil society in Indonesia. To substantiate the argument, this article will analyse (1) the debate on recent theorisation of “European power” in EU and International Relations studies, with a reference to Ian Manners’ conception of “Normative Power Europe”; (2) the snapshot of European Union’s key policies on International Development Assistance in Indonesia; and (3) the case of some projects related to “civil society strengthening programs” in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article aims at analyzing the relations between student movement andpolitical party in post-reform era of Indonesia. KAMMI, a prominent Islamiststudent movement in Indonesia, often associated with PKS (Prosperous JusticeParty) in terms of identity and political practices. It has created ‘independencedilemma’ for KAMMI because since its first Congress in 1998, this studentorganization has declared ‘independent from all political forces’. This article,using Lacanian psychoanalytical tradition, exposes the forms of KAMMI’ssubjectivity and PKS interpellation that enable this political party to dominateKAMMI’s articulatory practices. The interpellation process is supported withthe projection of fantacy, emotion, and mirror in the development of KAMMIsince 1998 until present. It leads to PKS creating the KAMMI identity andthus made KAMMI’s articulatory practices identical with this party. However,there were several attempts to dislocate the hegemony through several internalreform movements. These attempts, although made contribution to internaldynamics within KAMMI, were unable to create alternative discourse dueto several limits of those movements. The case of KAMMI can be a model toexplain how other student movements develop and relate to political parties inIndonesian post-reform.

Abstract

Abstract This article aims to explain discourses and articulations of Islamist movements in Egypt and Indonesia. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has emerged as one of the most important political force following the regime change in 2011. They have succeeded in installing Mohammad Morsy and Freedom and Justice Party in power after winning the 2012 General Elections. In Indonesia, the Prosperous and Justice Party (PKS) has also emerged as one of strong political parties following 1998 Reformasi, even though their success was not as visible as the Muslim Brotherhood. By using post-foundationalist approach, this article attempts to provide an explanation of discourses and articulations of both movements in the political arena. Having traced the historical-political trajectory of Islamist movements in Egypt and Indonesia, this article argues that both Islamist movements have departed from a universalist conception of ‘Islam’ that aims to politically articulates Islam as a basis of the state. This article also finds that there have been different achievements of these attempts in Egypt and Indonesia, due to strategies, articulations, and negotiation with other political forces in each states. Keywords: Islamism, Egypt, Indonesia, discourses, articulations, Post-foundationalism Abstrak Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan wacana dan artikulasi gerakan Islam di Mesir dan Indonesia. Di Mesir, Al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun telah menjelma menjadi sebuah kekuatan politik terpenting setelah pergantian rezim pada tahun 2011. Mereka telah berhasil menempatkan Mohammad Morsy dan Partai Keadilan Pembangunan dalam kekuasaan setelah memenangi Pemilu 2012. Di Indonesia, Partai Keadilan Sejahtera juga menjelma sebagai kekuatan politik setelah Reformasi 1998, walaupun kesuksesan mereka tak sebesar Ikhwan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan post-fondasionalis, artikel ini berupaya untuk menyediakan penjelasan tentang bagaimana wacana dan artikulasi Gerakan Islam di kedua negara tersebut diproduksi setelah pergantian rezim. Dengan melacak perjalanan politik dan sejarah Gerakan Islam di Mesir dan Indonesia, artikel ini berargumen bahwa kedua Gerakan Islam di Mesir dan Indonesia berangkat dari konsepsi universalis tentang Islam yang bertujuan untuk menjadikan Islam sebagai dasar negara. Secara garis besar, artikel ini menemukan bahwa ada perbedaan hasil yang diperoleh Gerakan Islam di dua negara tersebut, yang antara lain dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan strategi, artikulasi, dan negosiasi dengan kekuatan politik lain di negara tersebut.
