Abstract

Indonesia first state-led community-driven development (CDD) began in the 1990s with influential support by the World Bank. This paradigm sees community not merely as an object but rather as an active subject of development. To ensure the shifting in the paradigmatic level, a social engineering process known as community empowerment project was built using monitoring instrument to guarantee inclusive development planning, prevent elite capture, and promote internal audit capacities. In this process, extensive use of bureaucratic instruments, e.g., paperwork, assessment forms, official stamps, program proposals/reports, and financial report facilitate the formation of community participation. How the use of documents shaped the intended inclusive development projects under CDD paradigm? This paper discusses the ironic trends of how participatory framework in CDD, in fact, intensified social exclusions. The discussion is based on my experience observing the implementation of ‘public consultation approach’ in PBDT 2015 (Pemutakhiran Basis Data Terpadu/ Unified Database Updating). In such program, the local stakeholders, together with community trustee at kelurahan (village) level held a meeting to verify the enlisted poor households. The verification was crucial to create a unified database that can be used for future reference of the beneficiaries for several social assistance programs in Indonesia. I argue that tensions and negotiations toward deciding which names deserve to be on the list perpetuated forms of exclusion that embrace the exercise of prejudice, ethnic, and moral references in producing the hierarchy of deservingness at the community level.

Abstract

AbstractThis monograph examines the implementation of harm reduction programs in Indonesia that failed to improve the quality of drug users’ lives. The failure is the result of programs that merely provide drug users with instrumental strategy to deal with addiction through substitution therapy. The designation of legal substances such as methadone and subuxone is only to replace illegal drug addiction. In the end, the program fails to provide drug users with sufficient information to manage their dependence and even leads them to uncontrolled poly-substance use. This three months of ethnographic fieldwork focuses on examining Harm Reduction (HR) experiences in both methadone and subuxone users. The users are still stigmatized, although they are no longer illegal drug users. It is caused by the fact that HR only promotes rationalism and pragmatism in the contemporary drug treatment. This stigma results in socioeconomic exclusion which limits the access to lead livable lives for users. It became apparent that instead of improving users’ life quality, HR programs continuously reproduce the precariousness of drug users’ lives.Keywords: harm reduction, drug users, interventions, precarious, productivity, Indonesia
Unprecedented but Unfulfilled: Refugee Protection and Regional Responses to the Andaman Sea ‘Crisis’ Madeline Gleeson

Abstract

In May 2015, a situation unfolding in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea – since dubbed the Andaman Sea ‘crisis’ – threw into sharp relief the limitations of the region’s willingness and capacity to respond to large scale movements of refugees and irregular migrants. More than 5,000 Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi migrants became stranded at sea, after people smugglers abandoned their boats and nearby countries refused to let them land. Ultimately it fell to a handful of the most affected countries in the region – Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand in particular – to take the lead in initiating a regional response. This article explores this response, and how the Andaman Sea crisis and its subsequent fallout affected approaches to refugee protection in the Asia-Pacific. It focuses on the multilateral fora and mechanisms deployed to resolve the situation, and whether they have improved the region’s preparedness to respond to such events in the future. It demonstrates that the crisis forced some states to reconsider their roles as ‘transit countries’, recognise displacement and refugees as issues of pressing concern, and reassess the strength of their multilateral cooperation processes. However, many of the commitments made since 2015, unprecedented as they were, remain unfulfilled. Whether the region emerged better prepared to respond to such situations in the future is yet to be seen.Keywords: Rohingya, migration, refugees, cooperation, ASEAN, Bali Process

Abstract

This qualitative study describes the extent to which there is a perception of wellbeing among Acehnese refugees who arrived as adolescents to the United States and settled in the Mid - Atlantic States. Aceh is a province in Northwestern Indonesia consisting of approximately four million people. During 1990 to 2005, approximately 20,000 people left the province due to political conflict to seek asylum in Malaysia, their neighboring country, before resettling in a third country. The participants in this research study are Acehnese refugees that were resettled to the United States as adolescents during that peak migration phase. Results describe how these Acehnese refugees perceive their resettlement with regards to wellbeing, in general, and the development of their identities, sense of belonging and ecological systems of support, specifically. The results of this study shed light on how these Acehnese refugees perceive the many changes in their wellbeing from the early days of their arrival to present day. This study contributes to the literature on refugee studies, highlighting the developmental transition from childhood to adulthood and, at the same time, the cultural transition from home country to host country.Keywords: Acehnese refugees, wellbeing, sense of belonging, identity, ecological systems of support

Abstract

In May 2015, boats carrying several thousand Rohingya refugees created a tense situation in the region as Indonesia and neighboring ASEAN countries initially refused to let them come ashore (Amnesty International, 2015). Refugees dominated regional headlines for weeks for the first time since the end of the Vietnam war in 1975, when Indonesia and many other Southeast Asian states saw the arrival of tens of thousands of people from Vietnam and then later from Cambodia. The public outcry at the time led to a strong support for finding a regional solution for refugees. Despite this, the protection of asylum seekers and refugees across Southeast Asia remains weak to this day (Gleeson, this issue; Tan, 2016). Although Southeast Asia currently hosts more than one million4 asylum seekers and refugees (Amnesty International, 2017; UNHCR, 2017b), most Southeast Asian countries, with the exception of Cambodia, Timor Leste and the Philippines, have not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention and do not offer local integration for refugees in their respective territories.

Abstract

In 2013, Australia enacted tough border policies to “stop the boats”, leaving Indonesia to play host to a burgeoning number of refugees who now spend years, rather than months in the country, awaiting resettlement through the UNHCR to a third country. In Indonesia, asylum seekers live in a state of limbo and are deprived of access to education and employment. Given the uncertainty and increasing length of stay, the question emerges: how do people manage their lives in response to this protracted, yet impermanent, situation? In particular, how do refugees build relations with one another and with their Indonesian hosts? In West Java, Hazara refugees from Afghanistan respond to their uncertain situation by forming a strong co-ethnic community to navigate their new environment. Even though these urban refugees live in and amongst Indonesian host communities, they have little meaningful interaction with Indonesians and demonstrate very little uptake of the language, behaviours or cultural practices of their neighbours. This phenomenon of forming a community within, but at the same time apart from the host community is demonstrated with primary data collected over a six-week period in West Java using a combination of participant observation and interview methods. Based on comparison with other urban refugee contexts and ethnic Hazara diaspora groups, it is argued that the extent to which refugees form bonds with the local population is dependent on structural factors, in particular the formal and informal legal framework for refugees, access to education and employment, cultural and linguistic differences, and discrimination.Keywords: Refugees, Asylum Seekers, Acculturation, Hazara

Abstract

This article is an anthropological reflection on an on-campus collaborative music project between (Ethiopian) Oromo refugees and local Indonesian university teaching staff, students and professional musicians. It follows the way the project evolved from what was initially seen as a simple academic research opportunity and technical assistance for refugees to record their songs into a mutually transformative experience for those involved. It reflects on the process and the way art—as a collaborative practice and non-programmatic form of human engagement—provided new possibilities for the refugees living in transit in Indonesia to explore their talents and possible career opportunities for the future. From an anthropological point of view, the process challenged the various institutionalized binary modes of self-representation, such as ‘host’ and ‘migrant’, ‘researcher’ and ‘informant’, or ‘academic’ and ‘non-academic’, and opened up new possibilities for negotiating and framing relationships between the participants involved.Keywords: refugees, asylum seekers, self-representation, public anthropology, art, Indonesia, Oromo

Abstract

Dalam pemahaman umum, kebenaran adalah hal yang lekat dengan kemasukakalan. Asumsi ini pun mempengaruhi satu tren pemikiran dalam antropologi sebagaimana terlihat dari adanya kecenderungan di antara beberapa pengkaji untuk menyejajarkan cara kerja mitos dengan ilmu pengetahuan atau memperlakukan subjek kajian sebagai pihak yang rasional dan terobsesi memecahkan kontradiksi. Berkaca dari dua kasus yakni mitos asal-usul orang Buton di Pulau Seram dan diskursus Indonesia peradaban tua, saya ingin mengajukan bahwa pondasi kebenaran sejarah dalam konteks sosial bukanlah semata koherensi atau plausibilitasnya melainkan juga faedahnya untuk mengangkat atau mempertahankan harkat satu kolektivitas di antara kolektivitas-kolektivitas lainnya. Perbandingan saya memperlihatkan hal ini berlaku, menariknya, baik pada komunitas etnisitas maupun komunitas kebangsaan. Kebenaran sejarah mereka, artinya, akan sulit untuk benar-benar dipisahkan dari klaim politis yang disampaikan atau disampaikan ulang di tengah-tengah kontestasi para pelaku kehidupan sosial. Kerangka berpikir bermain yang dicetuskan oleh Johan Huizinga ditemukan pula sangat relevan menggambarkan situasi ini.Kata kunci: Kebenaran sejarah, mitos asal-usul, kontestasi, kemasukakalan, Buton, Indonesia peradaban tua

Abstract

Through language, conceptions of self and the cultural knowledge of a society can be understood as interaction takes place. Observations and in-depth interviews were conducted to get descriptive results to explain the emic point of view about the dialects used and the dialects of other groups of people. The data was then analyzed with relevant theory and concepts, to get an understanding of the positions of dialects in communication events. By applying their cultural knowledge, peoples of Darek and Rantau, sub-groups in the larger Minangkabau ethnic group, in several contexts use dialects as indicators of another person’s identity. The difference in their cultural knowledge has given each dialect it’s own usage and view in their respective societies.Keywords : Code-switching, Diglossia, Identity, Lingua Franca, Linguistic Anthropology
