In this article the author argues for the need to develop and use a new paradigm in examining the role of women. By considering the significant role women played in the recent economic crisis in Indonesia which has been neglected by various parties, including scholars, the author prefers strongly to use the paradigm 'critics' in the studies about women. She explains further the difference between this paradigm and the 'interpretive' and positivism' paradigms. The use of the new paradigm would enable the researcher to examine the relevant issues, carry out a participative approach, as well as change the disadvantaged situations and roles the women have.

Trust (kepercayaan) adalah konsep dalam ilmu sosial yang sedang naik daun, terutama dengan meningkatnya berbagai identitas kelompok di dunia pada umumnya dan di Indonesia khususnya. Apakah hal itu berarti tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat akan institusi berskala besar seperti negara, agama dan ideologi sudah digantikan oleh tingkat yang lebih lokalatau spesifik? Tulisan ini selain bertujuan untuk menjelaskan hubungan konsep trust dengan kondisi sosial, ekonomi dan politik, juga akan mengaitkannya dengan proses pembentukan identitas kelompok. Dalam tulisan ini diungkapkan bahwa trust adalah sesuatu hal yang dinamis dan historis, yang sangat tergantung pada kondisi, baik sistem normatif maupun struktural. Kedua hal ini perlu diperhatikan dalam perumusan sistem trust dalam kelompok masyarakat mana pun.

In this article the author examines the problem of ethnicity and the Indonesian nation-state. He asserts that Indonesia's history is marked by the tension between the country's ideological basis - as started in the preamble to its constitution- and the structural foundations stipulated in the chapters of that constitution. Working to achieve unity in diversity through the power granted him by the constitution, Soekarno applied the geopolitics based upon the Blut und Boden Theorie. However, each and every ethnic group that was to be united met the criteria of Blut und Boden and others. The concentration of power upon the president, reinforced by the Javanese conception of power, continued with Soeharto; eventually leading to the reform movement wherein in the many smaller groups in the union have begun to speak out. The author concludes that the centralization of power of the past must be replaced by a system with broad regional autonomy. While remaining true to the principle of the constitution, the distribution of economic power among the regions serve also as a safeguard against future crisis.

The May riot of 1998 has brought the so-called Chinese problem to the forefront. Various comments on the problem are mostly based on memories of the past, of the Dutch colonial segregation policy, and the common perception of the present conflict. The latter refers to the social economic gap between the Indonesian Chinese and the indigenous Indonesians. However, none of these comments address to the core of the problem related to the ethnicity and nationalism. The problem emerged when ethnicity and nationalism were in conflict. This conflict began with the establishment of the modern (Indonesian) nation-state. Since the beginning, the basis for discrimination between the indigenous and non indigenous has legally been set up by the 1945 constitution (article no.26). This discrimination was strengthened by the new order's policy that assimilation in the sole route to solving the so-called Chinese problem. This policy has produced wider social cultural, economic, and political gaps between the Indonesian Chinese and the indigenous Indonesian. The situation has developed in such a way that to solve the problem a careful examination using a multidisciplinary approach that pays attention to spatial and temporal variation in necessary.

This article explores the roots of riots that have occurred in several cities and places in Indonesia, the author assumes that the accumulative and chronic social - economic gap shrouded by the ethnic and religious factors, underlined the occurrence of riots in the early Indonesian reformation era (May 1995). The differences in gaining access to economic resources, as well as the discriminative policies of the New Order Regime, created a social-economic gap between the ethnic groups in Indonesia. While some groups had privileges and easy access to economic resources, other did not. As a consequence, some groups were subject to oppression and marginalized. The potential for conflict increased structurally as marginal groups used ethnicity and religious attributes in framing the social-economic gap between them and the advantage groups. From the functionalist viewpoints, ethnicity can be seen as an easy way to heighten solidarity among people. The riots could be legitimated by using cared religious symbols. The author argues that the conflict among ethnic groups increased as a 'cultural protest' to the government's discriminative policy. The conflict does not represent the people's desire to return to their 'tribal' culture.

The ethnic conflict in Ambon and Sambas are the result of the same casual factors. The ambivalent and unfair treatment by the armed forces and the police, and the absence of law enforcement, were factors that led to the emergence of these conflicts. Numerous crimes and violent actions (by gangster and preman) Took place. The local people - the Dayak and Malay community of Sambas, and the Ambon communities (both, Moslem and Christian, and also the Bugis, Buton, and Makassar) - took harsh measures without regard for the law. They did so since they could no longer trust the law, the armed forces and the police... [...] in the last part of this article, the author proposes three steps for the solution to the conflicts in both places: the shorts medium, and long term solutions.

In a traditionally Central Moluccan communities spread over the islands of Ambon, Haruka, Saparua, Nusalaut and in particular, Ceram, any conflict between two individuals of different denomination, or between two villages of different creeds, is usually settled in very short time. Conflicts do not spur intervillage riots as the Central Moluccan islanders have a strong commitment to their Pela and Gandong alliances and principles. However, the significance alliance systems had been undermined by the influx of migrants who have settled in the residential areas. The migrants have been totally excluded from the traditional pela system. With the decline influence of the traditional mechanism of authority, the outbreak of communal violence between the sa'lam (Moslem) and thesarane (Christian) inhabitants became unavoidable. The traditional laws have been ineffective as a problems-solving mechanism. The author maintains that it is high time to seriously consider the need to revive and maintain the alliance systems, and to adjust then to the present and future circumstances.

Lautan yang menghubungkan gugusan pulau-pulau itu memungkinkan terwujudnya hubungan-hubungan melalui perdagangan dan migrasi yang direfleksikan dalam mitos dan sejarah. 'ikatan-ikatan bahasa ' (linguistic linkages) dan hubungan-hubungan sejarah wilayah Flores Timur diacu oleh penulis untuk menunjang pandangan ini...[...] Penulis menyarankan agar kasus-kasus etnografi yang disajikan, dan kerangka-kerangka analisis yang dikaji dalam edisi khusus Antropologi Indonesia tentang Flores ini disimak oleh para pemerhati masalah bahasa, identitas, dan pembangunan di Indonesia.

Kerusuhan di Maluku menuntut perhatian dan kepedulian semua pihak dengan lebih sungguh-sungguh. Betapa besar kerugian material, korban jiwa, dan penderitaan psikis dari mereka yang terlibat langsung atau tidak langsung dalam kerusuhan tersebut.

Tulisan ini akan memuat kesebelas identifikasi masalah itu. Berdasarkan keseluruhan masalah tersebut, PRS mengajukan sebuah pertanyaan sentral, yaitu: apakah kerusuhan yang terwujud di Maluku disebabkan oleh faktor agama dan suku bangsa, dan bagaimana kaitannya dengan sosial Ketahanan Wilayah Maluku, sekaligus juga Ketahanan Nasional secara utuh?

On the basis of Bruner's concept of a dominant culture, the author analyzes the case of Bandung, Sambas, and Ambon. By comparing the three cases, the author reveals the differences in adaptation strategies among the Javanese in Bandung, the Maduranese in Sambas, and the BBM (Buton, Bugis, Makassar) in Ambon...[...] The author argues that the dominant culture in a specific setting, with its rules and norms, should be followed by the migrants and outsiders. However, the challenges to the dominant culture can be diverse in different societies and setting. The cases in Sambas and Ambon reveal that there is a problem in the challenge toward the dominant culture in those societies.
