Indonesia 2023
The elections of 2024 loom large over Indonesia in 2023, with serious implications for the future of Indonesian democracy. Domestically, there remain issues that affect the depth of its democracy including the roles of political Islam and the military, and corruption remains an issue. Indonesia continues to play a significant role regionally and internationally, although it retains ties to both the United States (and the West) and China – seeming…
‘Playing the tourist card’
Concepts of solidarity and justice have become salient in relation to tourism. This article describes clandestine activity in the name of solidarity but under the guise of tourism. When Indonesia opened Timor‐Leste to tourism in 1988, solidarity activists entered as tourists to obtain information and media that would contradict the official Indonesian position on the status of the territory and its people. Maintaining personae, these activists si…
Victimhood and Denial
Recent scholarship continues to shed light on the 1965-66 anti-communist massacres in Indonesia, as well as its effect on Cold War politics around the globe. John Roosa’s Buried Histories: The Anti-Communist Massacres of 1965-66 in Indonesia (2020) is his third book on the subject, and explains, through rigorous case studies, some of the variation in the scope of the killings due to the role of the military and militias. Vincent Bevins’ The Jakar…
The East Timor Action Networkand Transnational Advocacy
Many factors contributed to the timing, in August 1999, of the referendum in Timor-Leste that led to the country’s independence; among them: Suharto’s abdication, Indonesia’s vulnerability to pressure after the East Asian economic crisis, Indonesia’s confidence that it will prevail using its usual methods of intimidation and manipulation, and, of course, the political and armed struggle of who supported and died for independence in Timor-Leste. A…
Introducción
El 20 de mayo de 2022, Timor-Leste celebró veinte años desde que la Administración de Transición de las Naciones Unidas para Timor-Leste (UNTAET, por sus siglas en inglés) entregara el poder. Aunque los timorenses orientales declararon su independencia el 28 de noviembre de 1975, en un intento de obtener el reconocimiento internacional, éste no se produjo e Indonesia invadió el país sólo nueve días después. Su violenta y opresiva ocupación cobró …

Parafraseando al presidente de Estados Unidos Franklin Delano
Indonesia 2020
Observers are pointing to signs of increasing authoritarianism in the once-populist Jokowi’s second administration, including troubling signs of increased militarization. Indonesia’s Covid-19 response has been widely criticized, and has positioned Anies Baswegan, the Mayor of Jakarta, as a serious contender for the 2024 presidential elections. Several controversial laws were passed which set off widespread condemnation from a variety of groups as…
Local and National Elections in Remote Indonesia
Democratization has brought some significant changes to Indonesia, but in peripheral regions such as the island of Sumba, there remains much continuity. Although the party system has opened up after the fall of Suharto’s New Order in 1999, the ways in which royal status and patronage act to influence elections in Sumba remain, especially at the local and provincial levels. The national political conversation, however, does influence politics in S…

Cooking the Books
Islamist extremists in Afghanistan and elsewhere are exaggerating their successes in inflicting casualties on American and other International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) forces. This article quantifies the exaggeration for the month of November 2010, putting the claimed casualty rate at approximately one-half battalion per month. It provides an analysis of how and why this is occurring, and links this extremist strategic communication effor…
Prosumption, Transmediation, and Resistance
Terrorism is a mounting global threat for national security, yet the rise of social media facilitates prosumption and the spread of alternative grassroots stories in response to civic militarization and state propaganda. This article discusses the structural and cultural conditions underlying the production and spread of online user-generated content as radical media tactics. By presenting a case study on the escape and man-hunting of a key terro…
The Success of Tradition
When East Timor was conferred sovereignty in May 2002, its leaders and citizens began redefining themselves amidst a multitude of outside influences, including most recently the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET), as state-building proceeded. Central to any state’s growth is the development of a system of law that facilitates an economy, ensures contracts, and maintains order. During the early stages of the UNTAET, …
