The Politics of Welfare
Has democracy in Indonesia brought about welfare for its citizens? If yes, how does it work? What types of channels to materialize welfare program for citizens? And how does this effort really work at the local level? This book attempts to answer those above questions, by focusing on so-called “welfare regime” at the local level in Indonesia. The research was conducted at seven areas, ranging from labour sector in Bekasi West Java, humanitarian in post-disaster areas in Aceh, rural and agriculture based area in Kulon Progo Yogyakarta, a multicultural city of Medan North Sumatera, operated by religious/communal institutions, and market, rather than democratic channels such as political pa...
Assessing Dynamics of Democratisation
The book summarises the critique of these approaches, suggests a comprehensive alternative framework, and shows how the alternative works in reality through a case study of the largest of the new democracies, Indonesia.
Democracy for Sale
Democracy for Sale is an on-the-ground account of Indonesian democracy, analyzing its election campaigns and behind-the-scenes machinations. Edward Aspinall and Ward Berenschot assess the informal networks and political strategies that shape access to power and privilege in the messy political environment of contemporary Indonesia. In post-Suharto Indonesian politics the exchange of patronage for political support is commonplace. Clientelism, argue the authors, saturates the political system, and in Democracy for Sale they reveal the everyday practices of vote buying, influence peddling, manipulating government programs, and skimming money from government projects. In doing so, Aspinall and ...
Migration Governance in North America
Millions of people arrive in North America each year, including highly skilled immigrants and temporary workers, refugees, and international students. Migration, border control, and asylum are ongoing flashpoints in Canadian, American, and Mexican relations, and deeply affect the domestic politics and economies of each country. While migration has emerged as an only increasingly charged topic in public discourse, research has largely focused on North America’s lack of regional integration around mobility, often neglecting aspects of regional cooperation, hierarchy, and global engagement. Migration Governance in North America advances that conversation by examining the complex dynamics of m...

Politik Identitas di Indonesia
Politik identitas adalah istilah yang tentu tak asing lagi bagi para pengkaji politik. Fenomena politik identitas ini bahkan telah menjadi “narasi besar” yang merepresentasikan hampir semua praktik politik dewasa ini. Meski demokrasi telah menjadi sistem dominan bagi banyak negara di dunia, tak terkecuali di Indonesia, fenomena politik identitas ini masih saja mewarnai berbagai praktik politik di negara-negara tersebut. Dalam pandangan umum, perkembangan politik identitas ini dianggap sebagai sebuah ancaman bagi kelangsungan tatanan politik yang demokratis sekaligus ancaman bagi pluralisme. Namun sebaliknya, bagi para pengkaji aksi sosial, politik identitas justru merefleksikan sebuah bentuk perjuangan politik.
Rezim Adat dalam Politik Lokal
Dalam perkembangan politik kontemporer, “adat” telah menjadi perhatian serius dari banyak ilmuwan politik. Di era ini, istilah adat tidak hanya dipahami sebagai sebuah seni, seremonial, kebiasaan, dan simbol identitas semata, tapi telah menjadi sebuah istilah yang terkait erat dengan aktivisme, tradisionalisme, perjuangan, dan perlawanan yang menjelaskan adanya tuntutan untuk mendapatkan hak (rights) dan pengakuan (recognition) terutama dari negara. Dalam politik Indonesia, hal ini disebabkan oleh perubahan politik dari Orde Baru ke Era Reformasi dimana tatanan demokrasi dan desentralisasi telah mendorong kemunculan “politik baru” yang memicu kebangkitan adat (adat revivalism) di lev...
50 Years of Amity and Enmity
This book intends to offer an alternative lens for regionalism studies in Southeast Asia. Despite of its widely acknowledged status as one of the most successful regionalism, ASEAN still suffers from numerous obstacles. Yet, in the midst of ASEAN uncertain future trajectories, there is only limited consensus on how to approach ASEAN regionalism. Scholars of ASEAN regionalism tend to use ASEAN identity as the main explanation of cooperation among ASEAN member states. However, this approach suffers from limitations. Emphasis on static, traditional, and all-encompassing identity has made issue-specific cooperation and its internal dynamics neglected. The way issue-specific cooperation alters AS...
