Abstract

The implementation of Syari'ah law in Aceh has been a significant and often contentious aspect of the region’s post-conflict reconstruction process. Following the 2005 peace agreement between the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, GAM), Aceh became the only province in Indonesia with the legal mandate to enforce Syari'ah law. This research explores the intersection of faith, law, and society in Aceh, examining how Syari'ah has reshaped not only legal frameworks but also the daily lives of its people. Despite its importance, there exists a gap in understanding the broader social implications of Syari'ah’s implementation, particularly its effects on gender, civil rights, and the overall social fabric. Previous studies have focused on the legal and political aspects, yet little attention has been given to the lived experiences of Acehnese citizens under this system. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the societal transformations resulting from Syari'ah law, specifically focusing on how religious practices and legal structures interact within the Acehnese context. The urgency of this research lies in the increasing global attention to Islamic legal systems and their integration into state governance, offering a comparative lens for other regions pursuing similar models. Novel in its approach, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of the real-world implications of Syari'ah law on faith, law, and society, with particular attention to its effects on minority groups and social cohesion. Ultimately, it highlights the broader implications for peace-building in post-conflict societies, offering valuable insights for scholars and policymakers alike.

Abstract

This study critically examines the pervasive and systematic use of torture during Indonesia's New Order regime (1966-1998). This research underscores the urgent need to address the historical and ongoing implications of state-sponsored violence in Indonesia. Despite Indonesia’s transition to a democratic system, the legacies of repression and torture continue to shape the country’s political and social landscape. The study analyzes the mechanisms of torture under the New Order, focusing on the state's efforts to silence dissent, control political opposition, and maintain power through fear. Through an examination of archival materials, testimonies from victims, and interviews with human rights activists, this research illuminates the institutionalized practices of torture employed by the Indonesian military and police, often justified under the guise of national security and anti-communism. The work also highlights the impact of these practices on both individual lives and the broader society, contributing to a climate of fear that has persisted even after the regime’s downfall. This research makes a significant contribution by offering a comprehensive analysis of torture's role in reinforcing the power structures of the New Order, revealing the psychological and social costs of authoritarian rule. Furthermore, it emphasizes the urgent need for transitional justice and accountability mechanisms to address the crimes of the past. By providing a historical framework, the study advocates for a broader understanding of Indonesia’s political transformation, shedding light on the continuing struggle for justice and human rights in the post-New Order era.

Abstract

Koentjaraningrat, a central figure in Indonesian anthropology, played a pivotal role in the development of the discipline in the country, particularly during the post-colonial period. While anthropology in Indonesia was deeply influenced by colonial powers and Western intellectual traditions, Koentjaraningrat’s work marked a significant shift as he contributed to the discipline’s indigenization, making it relevant to Indonesia's unique socio-cultural and political context. Despite extensive research on Indonesian anthropology, a gap exists in understanding the full scope of Koentjaraningrat's intellectual journey and his influence on both the academic and nation-building processes. This paper seeks to fill this gap by tracing the evolution of his ideas and analyzing how his anthropological framework helped shape Indonesia’s post-colonial identity. The urgency of this research lies in its relevance to current debates on the role of anthropology in nation-building and decolonization. By critically examining Koentjaraningrat’s intellectual contributions, this study reveals the novelty of his approach, which blended Western methodologies with indigenous perspectives, fostering a more inclusive and locally grounded understanding of Indonesian society. The research contributes to both the academic field of anthropology and the broader discourse on post-colonial nation-building by emphasizing the transformative role of anthropology in shaping Indonesia’s national identity. This paper also highlights the broader implications of Koentjaraningrat’s work for contemporary social sciences in Indonesia, underscoring the enduring relevance of his intellectual legacy in the context of globalized knowledge production.

Abstract

Indonesia, with its diverse religious landscape, has long been a site of interfaith interaction, where religious tensions often intersect with historical, social, and political forces. The dynamics of these interfaith relations are shaped by both time and space, with ongoing contestations surrounding the boundaries of religious practice, identity, and coexistence. This paper examines the ‘controversial’ nature of interfaith dynamics in Indonesia, particularly focusing on the ways religious tensions manifest across different temporal and spatial contexts. By analyzing the shifting role of religious minorities, the impact of political policies, and the influence of local cultural contexts, the paper investigates how time and space contribute to the fluidity and volatility of interfaith relations in the country. The urgency of this research lies in the growing challenges Indonesia faces in balancing its pluralistic ideals with rising religious conservatism and exclusivism, which often escalate tensions. This study offers novel insights into the spatial and temporal dimensions of religious identity formation, showing how contested religious spaces—whether urban or rural—serve as battlegrounds for social, cultural, and political power. Furthermore, it contributes to the academic discourse on the role of religion in shaping national identity, highlighting how the intersection of historical legacies and contemporary religious practices in Indonesia creates an ongoing tension between harmony and conflict. Ultimately, this paper underscores the complexity of interfaith relations in Indonesia, offering a nuanced understanding of how time and space shape the contentious nature of religious coexistence.

Abstract

This study explores the complex interplay between ethnicity, citizenship, and national identity in Indonesia, particularly focusing on the Chinese-Indonesian community. This research critically examines the historical and ongoing struggles for recognition and rights of the Chinese-Indonesian minority, particularly in relation to constitutional debates surrounding citizenship and identity. The study investigates the ways in which the Chinese-Indonesian community, often marginalized and subjected to discriminatory policies, has navigated the evolving definitions of national belonging in Indonesia's post-independence period. Drawing on primary sources such as constitutional documents, legislative debates, and testimonies from Chinese-Indonesian individuals, the research highlights the fluctuating status of this community from Indonesia’s early years as a republic to its modern-day democracy. The study emphasizes the centrality of constitutional reform in shaping the community's legal rights, particularly the struggle for equality and protection from discrimination in the face of political shifts and societal prejudice. This research makes a vital contribution to understanding the tensions between ethnicity, citizenship, and national identity in a multiethnic society like Indonesia. It provides insights into how legal frameworks and political debates have influenced the integration of ethnic minorities, particularly the Chinese-Indonesian group, into the broader national narrative. Additionally, it underscores the urgency of addressing historical injustices and promoting inclusive citizenship, particularly through ongoing debates on equality, recognition, and human rights in contemporary Indonesia. This work is crucial for informing future discussions on multiculturalism, citizenship, and identity in Indonesia and beyond.
