Abstract

Demographically, Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world, yet international migration is a meager issues and only recently becoming a hot policy debates on the problem of migrant workers protection. The huge demand for domestic workers since the mid 1980s from the Gulf countries, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, continue unabated, increasingly creates tensions between the state and the civil societies, as many migrant workers exposed to exploitation and human right abuses. The center of the tension lays on the wide discrepancy between the policy to bolster the overseas labor and the failure of the state in providing a proper regulation in which protection for migrant workers is secured. To understand the current problems of overseas labor policy in Indonesia is necessary to trace the relationship between migration and the state and the history of state policy on migration. Assessing the role of stakeholders in this migration industry is important in able to understand the apparently lack of grasp and continuously reactionary and ad hock nature of the policy and related regulations. Keywords: Indonesia’s overseas labor policies, migrant workers, migration of labor

Abstract

Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM/NGO) memegang peranan yang penting dalam rekonstruksi dan pemulihan kembali masyarakat Aceh pasca-Tsunami 2004. Studi ini merupakan upaya untuk mengungkap dinamika peranan LSM di Aceh melalui dua LSM (Uplink di Banda Aceh, dan Yayasan Pengembangan Kawasan – YPK di Meulaboh). Dua LSM ini terpilih karena dianggap mewakili dua model LSM yang berbeda, baik dalam pendekatan dan strategi pelayanan dan program ke masyarakat maupun dalam berhadapan dan relasinya dengan otoritas kekuasaan di Aceh. Untuk memahami peranan LSM pasca-Tsunami di Aceh, sejarah perkembangan LSM dan masyarakat sipil di Indonesia maupun latar belakang gerakan sosial di Aceh, khususnya setelah turunnya Suharto, diungkapkan secara agak mendalam dalam studi ini. Dalam kesimpulannya, studi ini menunjukkan kegagalan maupun keberhasilan dalam berbagai program rekonstruksi masyarakat Aceh dari kedua LSM dan menunjukkan “lesson learned” apa yang dapat dipetik dari studi ini, serta tidak kalah pentingnya hal-hal apa yang perlu diteliti selanjutnya. Kata Kunci: Aceh, NGOs, tsunami, rekonstruksi sosial.
