No Concessions: The Life of Yap Thiam Hien, Indonesian Human Rights Lawyer
The compelling personal story of human rights lawyer Yap Thiam Hien (1913-1989) brings decades of modern Indonesian history to life. No Concessions is a penetrating analysis of the trajectory of the Chinese minority in Indonesia over close to a century and the remarkable making of a civic leader. Without abandoning his ethnic roots, Yap transcended them by becoming a courageous legal defender of civil and human rights of all oppressed Indonesians…
The Legal Significance of Presidential Signing Statements
Presidents have issued signing statements when signing bills into law since the first half of the Nineteenth Century but recently this practice has come under attack. In this short essay, we argue that presidential signing statements ought to be given legal weight for three reasons. First, they are part of a federal statute's legislative history because the president's concurrence is ordinarily necessary, along with the House and Senate's, for a …
Conceptual filters and obfuscation in the study of Indonesian politics
James R. Townsend
On January 17, 2004, our friend and colleague, Jim Townsend, died peacefully in the midst of his family after a long illness.

He was a member of the political science department at Berkeley between 1963 and 1968 when he moved to the University of Washington. He remained at the University of Washington until he retired prematurely in 1992 after…

Fantasizing the Feminine in Indonesia
And she the eldest daughter!... life could have been good, waiting for her turn to buy, for so many sarongs and headcloths woven with gold or silver thread and weighed on the scales, a man she liked; waiting to bear children, preferably female children!Listening to the roaring waters, the tall rustling trees, and half an hour after midnight the crackle of blazing torches, and the sound of men's voices coming through the dark, as they climbed down…
Becoming an Orang Indonesia Sejati: The Political Journey of Yap Thiam Hien
Once the curtain of common myths about peranakan Chinese in Indonesia is parted sen sibly on reality, what appears is a startlingly complex presence in local history, filled with the kinds of contradiction, tension, strength, vulnerability, and tragedy that seem always to surround such diasporas.To say that Indonesian Chinese have enriched Indonesia is a mis leading cliche, for it sets them apart still as something other than Indonesian.For the m…
Colonial Law and the Genesis of the Indonesian State
It should be obvious that new states owe a great deal to colonial precedent, for even the most shattering revolutions, very rare among new states, cannot wipe out the past.Yet, as Harry Benda made us see over twenty years ago in his debate with Herbert Feith, it is easy to take seriously the present's claim to exist in the present only, unique and devoid of debt to a despicable and embarrassing history.Benda himself and more recently Heather Suth…

Judicial Authority and the Struggle for an Indonesian Rechtsstaat
The place of law in the state is largely the result of political struggle, which can be understood better by looking at social and political rather than cultural variables. Informed by Weberian models of legitimacy and political structure and by Marxist concepts of class conflict, the article analyzes efforts to establish an Indonesian "law state" in the context of middle-class assaults on patrimonial assumptions of political order.

The Political Role of the Army in Indonesia
THE MAJOR PROBLEM which Indonesia's military leadership has had to face during the past decade has been to develop a role for the army in the national political structure that would satisfy its political, economic and social aspirations.

The Politics of Judicial Development in Indonesia
Legal approaches to judicial development in the new states of Asia and Africa seem to be inadequate for at least two reasons. One is that we cannot assume a prior knowledge of the political and social factors bearing on the process of change in these countries. The second is that by emphasizing legislative aspects of development, the spotlight is shifted away from the institutions themselves. One way of meeting these two objections is to bypass m…
