Religious Civil Society Organizations Responses toward Democratic Decline
This study seeks to explain the factors that lead religiously based civil society organizations to consistently cooperate with, or instead oppose, (semi-)authoritarian regimes. It also examines how the historical accumulation of religious competence can shape an organization’s political choices over time. The study employs a comparative case-study design, offering an in-depth historical analysis of the political responses of Indonesia’s two large…
Introduction
This collection expands the sectarianisation thesis introduced by Hashemi and Postel to analyse cases of sectarianism outside of the Middle East. It shows how divisions and rivalries can occur between Muslim groups that are theologically and religiously similar, rather than being intrinsically distinct from each other like Sunni and Shia sects. The collection features case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Turkey and shows how sectarianism am…
From ideological to political sectarianism
This contribution applies the sectarianisation thesis of Hashemi and Postel to analyse renewed political sectarianism between Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, the two largest Indonesian Islamic organisations. It finds that while distinct ideologies and rituals do distinguish these organisations one from another, recent conflicts between the two organisations can be attributed to political-based sectarianism rather than an ideological-based …

Rising Islamism and the Struggle for Islamic Authority in Post- Reformasi Indonesia
The successful ‘Defending Islam’ rallies of 2016–2017 provide clear evidence that Islamism is on the rise in contemporary Indonesia. Mainstream Islamic authorities, including groups such as Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, are increasingly losing their authority to newer, more conservative Islamic preachers and groups. What explains this phenomenon – and what does it mean for the moderate perspectives that many predicted would dominate Islam in …
Islamic Campus Preaching Organizations in Indonesia
This article asks whether campus preaching organizations such as the Indonesian Muslim Students Islamic Union (KAMMI) and Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) serve as potential breeding grounds for radicalism or, alternatively, do they serve as institutions that promote political moderation and prevent radical action among young university-age Muslims. Utilizing insights from inclusion-moderation thesis, it concludes the answer to these questions depe…
Practicing What It Preaches? Understanding the Contradictions between Pluralist Theology and Religious Intolerance within Indonesia’s Nahdlatul Ulama
The Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has long been known for its moderate, pluralist theology. However, many grassroot NU clerics and activists do not pay attention to these pluralist teachings. Instead, they carried out attacks and religious persecutions against religious minorities such as the Ahmadi and Shi’ite communities in Indonesia. It is puzzling to see a big contradiction between the pluralist theological beliefs articulated by some of NU’s senior c…
The Securitization of Transnational Labor Migration
Existing studies on transnational migration in Southeast Asia tend to view it primarily from labor, human rights, or gender perspectives. Few of these studies have viewed labor migration as a security problem between the countries involved. This article attempts to close this gap in the literature by looking at the case study of labor migration from Indonesia and Malaysia from a security perspective and how it affects the relationship between mig…
Explaining the Cause of Muslim-Christian Conflicts in Indonesia
Within the last decade, Indonesia has experienced numerous incidents of communal violence between conservative Muslims, who are the religious majority in the country, and the Christian minority. This has been caused by mutual prejudices and suspicions that have gradually developed between the two groups. This article will explain the origins of such sentiments by looking at the history of Muslim–Christian relations in Indonesia. It argues that th…
