Fragmented Memories
This study examines the legacies of Indonesia’s 1965–66 killings, providing the first systematic data on mass awareness of and support for this violence, using a survey list experiment. We find that awareness of the episode is low overall, yet support for the past violence is high. We also investigate how knowledge and beliefs about the incident vary across demographic groups. Younger Indonesians are more likely than their older counterparts to k…
Authoritarian Nostalgia and Democratic Decline in Contemporary Indonesia
This paper investigates the phenomenon of authoritarian nostalgia in Indonesian politics. Drawing on data from a Populi Center public opinion survey, we explore the characteristics, patterns and workings of authoritarian nostalgia. On the one hand, we find authoritarian nostalgia prevalent in the survey data and also anecdotally. Many in the public remember the New Order era fondly and have positive impressions of President Soeharto despite 32 ye…
Territorial Change and Conflict in Indonesia
This book focuses on Indonesia and investigates why competition between various identity-affiliated groups to claim a new province increases conflict severity. It includes a quantitative study, along with complementary case studies of provinces in Indonesia, which provide evidence that group fragmentation plays a role in determining conflict during a new province’s struggle. Against the background of the Indonesian government’s territorial autono…
The Struggling Aristocrats? Noble Families’ Diminishing Roles after the Splitting of Tana Toraja Region
How did the splitting of the Tana Toraja region in 2008 challenge the local aristocrats’ dual role in adat and politics in the new North Toraja? Why and how did these aristocrats fail to secure their dual role after the 2015 election? After 32 years of the New Order regime, adat rights were finally revived through the Return to Lembang regulation in 2001. The law channelled noble families’ hereditary rights back to local political affairs. Howeve…
Territorial Change and Conflict in Indonesia
How do ethnic groups compete for a new province in a decentralised Indonesia
How do ethnic groups compete in a decentralized Indonesia? How do their political competitions to claim a new province lead to open conflict? The Indonesian government devised its massive territorial autonomy (TA) strategy—regional proliferation or pemekaran—as part of expansive decentralization reform in 1999. While scholarship is generally ambiguous regarding the relationship between regional proliferation and conflict, many districts still exp…
