Abstract

In Indonesia, Islamic boarding schools has changed from a traditional boarding school into a modern boarding school. Modern boarding schools customize its label as “Islamic Modern Boarding School” to support a higher cost of educational fees. Based on previous studies, there are findings on competition and commercialization of Islamic educational institutions whereby many Islamic Boarding Schools facilitates dormitories from Santris (Islamic Students). The author argues that the development of middle class Muslims in cities have further supported the commercialization of Islamic education. Even with the strong current of economic commercialization, modern boarding school still maintains spiritual capital as an important aspect of education. This article is written based on a qualitative research in Pondok Pesantren Al-Adzkar, South Tangerang, Banten.

Abstract

Much of scholars state that a number of new religious authorities support religious conservatism. This article shows that the old religious authorities also became the driving force of Islamic conservatism and identity politics in East Priangan, West Java, especially those historically tied to the Darul Islam movement. This article aims to narrate the transformation of the idea of Islamic State (Darul Islam) into the Sharia-compliant Republic of Indonesia, which is taking place in the East Priangan region. In 2016, supporters of this idea were among the most enthusiastic participants of the 212 rallies in Jakarta. This article uses qualitative research by using the data collection methods of literature study, observation, and interviews with heads of pesantren in Tasikmalaya and Ciamis. It shows that religious movements in East Priangan play a significant role in supporting Islamic populism at the national level. The argument is that some traditional pesantren or religious organizations support religious conservatism that continues in the era of identity politics.

Abstract

Actor-Network Theory (ANT) has been implemented to study various topics in Indonesian contexts such as microcredit, coral reef, contestation within the sustainable energy project, and civil-military relations. However, ANT is seldom used to examine laboratories as working assemblages in Indonesia, despite its crucial role in producing technological knowledge. In order to fill that research gap, this article intends to illustrate ANT implementation in studying the work of a laboratory, specifically at the Materials and Structure Lab and Civil Engineering Testing Lab of Universitas Indonesia using the concept or process of translation. This study found that a laboratory consists not only of human actors, such as authoritative experts, but alsoof non-human actors—e.g. buildings and equipment or machines. During its performance, the laboratory establishes an association, which is not only by creating, but also cutting off or choosing relations in accordance with the needs of the network, without all the actors being fully aware of it. This shows ANT’s limit in investigating elements outside the actions of actors in creating a network. The qualitative methodological approach is utilized with the consideration of better meeting the principles of ANT in following or tracing actors.

Abstract

In this article, patterns of sending Indonesian migrant workers through the cross-border between the Riau Islands, Indonesia and Johor, Malaysia are examined. These patterns have implications for transnational crimes of human smuggling and trafficking. A new pattern involving Indonesian migrant workers was revealed. The migrant workers enter and reside in the destination country legally and subsequently become illegal migrants because the employer or the company does not extend their contracts. This pattern differs from two other patterns that are commonly practiced and are well-known: legal entry and illegal stay, if migrant workers work in a destination country without working permits; and illegal entry and illegal stay, if migrant workers enter a destination country through illegal mediums and work there without valid documents. This finding enriches previous studies on patterns involved in people smuggling and human trafficking with emphasizes that Indonesian migrant workers’ vulnerability cannot be reduced to mere proceduralbureaucratic matters. This research employed the case study method. The primary data was collected by conducting in-depth interviews with Indonesian migrant workers who became victims of human trafficking as key informants.

Abstract

Since the end of 1957, Dutch enterprises in Indonesia were nationalized and most of palm oil production affiliated with certain corporate groups that are engaged in diversified business. Most of these groups are dominated by ethno-Chinese businessmen. The rapid expansion of oil palm business in Indonesia has induced the inflow of foreign capital to plantation enterprises. The largest inflow has taken place from Singapore. However, most of the investment from Singapore was carried out by business groups dominated by Indonesian Chinese tycoons. This article shows that free-market conditions have influenced the orientation of nationalization of those enterprises. It has created the transnational conglomerate movement in case of palm oil plantation in Indonesia. This article is written based on qualitative research on secondary data from the Center for Statistical Bureau (BPS), etc.

Abstract

Religious intolerance is spreading within the Indonesian institution of education. Previous studies have shown that the growth of intolerance is due to the state’s regulation and pedagogical apparatus. In contrast to the previous studies, I argue that the intolerance is related to a hidden curriculum applied by the institution of education. Normatively, the hidden curriculum contains the value of religious tolerance. However, factually, I found evidence of practices of intolerance, through both the formal and informal spheres within the school structure, in a hidden curriculum. This article is written based on a qualitative approach with a mixed-method research strategy to analyze data collected from students, teachers, and alumni through field observation, in-depth interviews, and surveys.

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs in extractive industries in Indonesia, which grew rapidly in the post-New Order era, can be seen as a means to develop local communities. However, such programs tend to be unilateral (one-sided), and leading to problems, because they often do not represent the expectations and needs of local communities. Previous studies about unilateral CSR in extractive industries categorized the programs into two types according to their substances: CSR as charity and CSR as mandatory. This article rejects both categories, as they do not optimally develop the local community. This article argues that the justice in CSR programs in extractive industries, as a means to develop local communities, can be achieved through relational capability and commitment. This article is written based on a the qualitative approach and conducts a case study on the CSR program of a geothermal company in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia

Abstract

This article will explore how dark-skinned individuals perceive their skin color and whether they categorize their appearance as beautiful or ugly. Until recently, the dominant perception of beauty in Indonesia was represented by fair-skinned people, and this fact is strongly related to an individual’s identity. Dark skin is considered less beautiful. However, some individuals attempt to counteract the dominant beauty discourse. Previous literature studies found two reasons that support the counter-discourse toward beauty: recognition and negotiation. Recognition is an act of countering the mainstream discourse, while negotiation is an attempt to contest one’s identity based on their skin. This article argues that women can counter the dominant discourse based on negotiation, because individuals have free choice, body autonomy, and bargaining power. This article is written based on a qualitative research, with in-depth interviews conducted with nine female informants who have attempted to counter the mainstream beauty discourse.

Abstract

This article attempts to describe the prevalence of NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) among youth aged 15-24 in Indonesia, who in general live in a high risk and vulnerable condition, many of whom are facing social injustice. Previous analyses on NEET in Indonesia utilized labor force surveys; this study emphasizes on employment and education backgrounds of individuals. This article constructs NEET from the household surveys SUSENAS (National Socio-Economic Survey) and related MSBP (Module of Social, Cultural, and Education) of 2015. The richness of information collected in these surveys enables the author to analyze factors affecting Indonesian youth to be NEET beyond those related to employment matters. By using a logistic regression analysis, this article explains reasons for youth becoming NEET based on their engagement in social activities, access to information, and capability to read and write in Latin, Arabic, or other alphabets. This article finds that the youth who attend local meetings, actively engage in religious activities and/or community and social services, access the internet, and can read and write Latin and other non-Arabic alphabets have a lower likelihood to become NEET.
