Begitulah hukum di Indonesia. Ibarat buku tabungan, kondisi hukum, negara, dan budaya di negeri ini seperti rekening dengan saldo yang pas-pasan. Tak seluruhnya gelap memang. Agak remang-remang, tetapi belumlah terang-benderang. Posisi Mahkamah Konstitusi, misalnya, segala putusan yang dikeluarkan lembaga ini kerap disanjung dan dibanggakan, lantaran ia menerobos kebuntuan hukum. Namun, oknumnya tergelincir pula pada korupsi. Akil Mochtar dan Patrialis Akbar adalah contoh yang “baik” dari dua pucuk pimpinan tertinggi lembaga itu yang bertindak busuk dan tak amanah. Lihatlah nasib buruh migran yang sering digadang-gadang sebagai pahlawan devisa. Negara belum sepenuhnya hadir memberikan pe...
Indonesia is a multicultural and multireligious nation whose heterogeneity is codified in the state doctrine, the Pancasila. Yet the relations between the various social, ethnic, and religious groups have been problematic down to the present day. In several respects, Christians have a precarious role in the struggle for shaping the nation. In the aftermath of the former president Suharto's resignation and in the course of the ensuing political changes Christians have been involved both as victims and perpetrators in violent regional clashes with Muslims that claimed thousands of lives. Since the beginning of the new millennium the violent conflicts have lessened, yet the pressure exerted on Christians by Islamic fundamentalists still continues undiminished in the Muslim-majority regions. The future of the Christians in Indonesia remains uncertain, and pluralist society is still on trial. For this reason the situation of Christians in Indonesia is an important issue that goes far beyond research on a minority, touching on general issues relating to the formation of the nation-state.

History and development of Partai Damai Sejahtera, a political party based on Christian philosophy in Indonesia.
Pada 20 November 1979, sebuah peristiwa besar terjadi di Kota Suci Mekkah. Sekelompok orang bersenjata pimpinan Juhaiman al-Utaibi, seorang Islamis radikal, menguasai Masjid al-Haram. Mereka memprotes maraknya korupsi di pemerintahan Arab Saudi. Gejolak politik pun meledak. Lalu, tentara Amerika dan Eropa bersatu membantu Pemerintah Saudi memulihkan situasi di tanah suci. Peristiwa itu menjadi bagian penting dari sejarah modern Kota Mekkah. Meski demikian, kebanyakan orang, terutama kaum Muslim sendiri, tak paham apa yang sejatinya terjadi saat itu. Para pengamat politik dan sejarawan menganggap kejadian itu sebagai insiden lokal semata, dan karena itu tak bersangkut-paut dengan peristiwa in...
Building in existing fabric requires more than practical solutions and stylistic skills. The adaptive reuse of buildings, where changes in the structure go along with new programs and functions, poses the fundamental question of how the past should be included in the design for the future. On the background of long years of teaching and publishing, and using vivid imagery from Frankenstein to Rem Koolhaas and beyond, the author provides a comprehensive introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects. History and theory, building typology, questions of materials and construction, aspects of preservation, urban as well as interior design are dealt with in ways that allow to approach adaptive reuse as a design practice field of its own right.
