Abstract

One of the key factors shaping the religious landscape in Indonesia is the strategic policies implemented by the New Order Government. This article examines how these policies influenced the geographic distribution of mosques and the subsequent religious dynamics in West Java. Additionally, it investigates the impact of government policies on the formation and development of religious organizations and Islamic communities across different regions, with a specific focus on West Java. This study employs a historical method by analyzing government archives, historical documents, and mosque establishment data. Spatial analysis is used to correlate mosque locations with centers of social, economic, and political activity. The findings indicate that the New Order government's mosque construction policy directly shaped the spatial distribution of mosques in West Java. The placement of mosques during the New Order era prioritized areas with concentrated Muslim population, aligning with the government's strategy to monitor religious organizations. By strategically placing mosques, which often serve as the center of life for Muslim communities, the New Order aimed to control Muslim activities. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between state power, religion, and spatial politics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article explores President Sukarno’s cultural politics in shaping the ideological framework, mobilizing tradition, and fostering national unity in the early Republic of Indonesia (1945–1965). Sukarno’s articulation of Pancasila went beyond a mere political manifesto by embedding the five principles in cultural performances, state-sponsored rituals, and heritage initiatives. Through major exhibitions, architectural projects, and mass media campaigns, Sukarno mobilized folklore, traditional arts, and popular culture to construct a shared national narrative. Furthermore, the Nasakom doctrine exemplifies his efforts to integrate nationalism, religion, and communism into a cohesive cultural narrative, reducing ideological divisions and formalizing pluralist discourses. Using qualitative research with discourse analysis of speeches, policy decrees, and contemporary media reports—and grounded in Gramscian cultural hegemony theory—this study unpacks the mechanisms of cultural governance under Sukarno. Findings suggest that these cultural strategies played a significant role in consolidating state authority, fostering a sense of collective identity, and leaving a lasting imprint on Indonesian civic culture beyond Sukarno’s presidency. This article contributes to scholarship on postcolonial nation-building by bridging political history and cultural studies, offering new insights into the performative dimensions of early Indonesian statehood.

Abstract

The Acehnese society has long practiced customary economic arrangements such as gala (pawning) and mawah (profit-sharing). However, the traditional gala practices are frequently exploitative and inconsistent with the Sharia principles, as lenders exercise full control over collateralized productive assets. In addition, the potential of mawah as a cooperative economic mechanism has not been fully realized. This qualitative study examines the transformation of these customary practices into sustainable Sharia-based microfinance institutions through a case study of their implementation in Southwest Aceh. Data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that KSPPS Baitul Qiradh Gala Muamalah, commonly known as the “Gala Bank,” has initiated a revitalization of local economic wisdom grounded in Sharia principles. A fundamental transformation is evident in the gala practice through the application of a rahn (Sharia pawn) contract, whereby the institution holds only the collateral, while productive assets, such as rice fields, remain under the management of their owners. This arrangement enables farmers to continue agricultural production and generate income. For working capital financing, the institution employs a mudharabah (profit-sharing) contract with a flexible post-harvest repayment system. The “Gala Bank” model has successfully transformed previously harmful practices into equitable, farmer-empowering, and Sharia-compliant transactions. Consequently, this initiative demonstrates how traditional economic practices can be effectively adapted into a modern, sustainable economic framework rooted in local culture, serving as a model for community-based economic development.
