Abstract

Research on the involvement of the Madurese diaspora in West Kalimantan in establishing pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) and their contributions to peace resilience remains limited. This study aims to investigate why and how the Madurese diaspora engages in peace resilience through the establishment of pesantren. Data were gathered through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analyses using a multiple-case study approach. The results suggest that pesantren have played a vital role in promoting harmony and peace among different ethnic groups through re-education, community empowerment, and interfaith dialogues. This has significant implications for social harmony, cooperation (Handep), social cohesion, solidarity, and the mitigation of ethnic-based provocations. The involvement of pesantren presents a novel perspective on reconstructing strategies for addressing interethnic conflicts, thereby introducing a new cultural construction approach as a framework for future conflict resolution mechanisms.

Abstract

The phenomenon of non-Muslim Chinese women being elected as regional leaders in Indonesia is considered unusual, especially when elected amid a predominantly Muslim population and the strengthening of Islamist movements in national politics. This article, therefore, analyses the representation and capabilities of non-Muslim Chinese women as regional heads in Singkawang City, Indonesia, from 2017 to 2022. In the Indonesian context, we refer to this case as a “triple minority.” The research used a socio-legal approach involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion/verification stages. The findings of this study indicate that the representation and capabilities of non-Muslim Chinese women as regional heads in Singkawang City from 2017 to 2022 align with the principles of constitutional politics (siyasah dusturiyah) and Indonesian laws. Non-Muslim Chinese women elected as regional heads of Singkawang City, despite being in a Muslim-majority environment, have succeeded in making Singkawang City the top-ranked Tolerant City in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the creation of new cultural constructs and examine the evolving role of local leaders across ethnic groups to address potential conflict in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected using a phenomenological approach through document analysis, interviews, and observations. The results showed the pivotal role of novel perspectives in alleviating ethnic tensions, which prompted leaders to establish the Red White Association (Perkumpulan Merah Putih – PMP) as an innovative platform dedicated to protection, mediation, and sustainable peacebuilding initiatives. At the grassroots level, this association was instrumental in fostering mutual trust among ethnic communities, mitigating tribal stereotyping that could escalate into communal conflict. Meanwhile, at the elite level, the association prevents power-triggered political contestation that may lead to ethnic politicisation. This growing cultural movement, spearheaded by local leaders, promoted understanding and countered detrimental stereotypes and stigmatisation in the local populace. In conclusion, the PMP role should include a proactive stance in preventing the rise of communal conflict narratives that might incite collective action among local tribes. This represents a significant advancement toward a more comprehensive peacebuilding approach beyond rhetorical commitments to strengthen local community bonds.
