Abstract

In this article, the underlying approach that has been used to formulate the post-Soeharto's territorial reform that produced decentralization laws and regulations is critically reviewed. The so-called Public Administration School or "PAS" that is rooted on the formal-legal paradigm and adopted by the discipline of law and political sciences has dominated the thinking behind the formulation of the decentralization and regional autonomy laws. The legal drafter of the decentralization laws in Indonesia are strongly influenced by the PAS approach and have crafted a national law that is generally lack of comprehensive understanding on the dynamics and processes at the society level. The PAS approach is failed in their attempt to incorporating various dimensions that are not only formatted but also contextualized the society. The critical implications that are mostly beyond the imagination of the experts that belong to the PAS approach is the fact that the news have created many loopholes for political elites to easily manipulating the existing regulations for their short term goal to capture the regional political positions and economic benefits. Two case studies of "pemekaran wilayah" in Central and Southeast Sulawesi provinces are presented to show the actual processes in which “pemekaran” become an arena for the local elites to contest for power and economic resources. A more comprehensive approach that is able to incorporating social, economic and ecological dimensions is needed to avoid the flaws, hypocrisy and manipulation by the political elites, as we have noticed in the implementation of the current decentralization laws and government regulations.

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.

Abstract

The events surrounding Suharto’s resignation in May 1998 and its aftermath pararelly followed by the occurrences of communal conflicts in several places such as Maluku, Central Sulawesi and Kalimantan. Interestingly these communal conflicts also occurred at the same time with the process of splitting of the district territories (pemekaran) that were accelerating under the implementation of the new law of decentralization and regional autonomy in 2001. This paper utilizing the political demography perspective is a preliminary attempt to look at the possible linkages between ethnodemographic configuration and the communal conflict within particular geographic administrative boundaries and its repercussions on the process of pemekaran. As the implementation of the direct election of the local governmental head (Pilkada) is currently underway the paper also provides some notes on the ethno-political dynamics of this regional version of people’s direct election. The paper argues that ethnicity is mattered in the process of pemekaran and could be manipulated by the local elites in their attempt to obtain mass support during the Pilkada. More systematic research however is needed to better understand the complex nexus between ethnicity and local politics in Indonesia.
