Gender equity reversals and women’s responses to Covid-19 in rural Indonesia
Defending a Vulnerable yet Resilient Democracy
For the first two decades after the end of the authoritarian New Order regime, Indonesian civil society was widely hailed as a bulwark against elite attempts to roll back the country's democratic achievements. More recent assessments, however, have highlighted how polarisation, socio-religious conservatism and growing state repression have increasingly restricted civil society's ability to defend Indonesian democracy against further backsliding. …
Politics in Contemporary Indonesia
In Politics in Contemporary Indonesia, Ken M.P. Setiawan and Dirk Tomsa analyse the most prominent political ideas, institutions, interests and issues that shape Indonesian politics today. Guided by the overarching question whether Indonesia still deserves its famous label as a ‘model Muslim democracy’, the book argues that the most serious threats to Indonesian democracy emanate from the fading appeal of democracy as a compelling narrative, the …
Vulnerable but Resilient
Recent years have seen a consensus emerging that Indonesian democracy is in regression. Nonetheless, there continue to be developments that point towards Indonesia’s democratic resilience. This article examines key events of the past year that support resilience, including the passing of the landmark Law on Sexual Violence, the rejection of rumoured plans to extend President Joko Widodo’s term in office and a moderation of polarisation. At the sa…
Struggling for justice in post-authoritarian states
Protests can play a crucial role in contributing to social change. In many countries that have transitioned from authoritarian to more democratic forms of governance, protests have demanded accountability for human rights crimes. This article focuses on Indonesia’s longest-running human rights protest, Kamisan. This protest is contrasted with one of the most recognisable human rights protests internationally – the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in …
Palm oil, migrant workers, indigenous peoples and corporations
Malaysia is the world's second largest exporter of palm oil, a key component of many packaged foods and cosmetics. Malaysia's economy is highly dependent on the palm oil industry, which is the country's top agricultural export. In 2018, the broader agriculture sector contributed over 7% to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with nearly 40% of that coming from the palm oil industry
Global Concepts, Local Meanings
Over the past few decades, the human rights movement has made impressive inroads in Asia: human rights have become enshrined in national constitutions as well as increasingly visible in popular discourse and as a legitimising resource for civil society groups. With the recent rise of populist leaders and increased nationalistic discourses, however, a backlash against rights-based activism and counterclaims made by illiberal groups have brought in…
Civil Society and Transitional Justice in Asia and the Pacific
Over the last two decades, civil society has helped catalyse responses to the legacies of violent conflicts and oppressive political regimes in Asia and the Pacific. Civil society has advocated for the establishment of criminal trials and truth commissions, monitored their operations and pushed for take-up of their recommendations. It has also initiated community-based
Shifting from International to "Indonesian" Justice Measures
What do Indonesia’s democratisation efforts look like when examined from the lens of human rights? Using the 1965 violence as a case study this article analyses human rights and justice reform after the end of the Suharto regime in 1998. We argue that despite the initial push to adopt international human rights principles and transitional justice mechanisms in Indonesian law, human rights reforms have stagnated. Explanations for this include the …
From Hope to Disillusion
In recent years, the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) has come under increasing scrutiny as a consequence of its internal problems as well as the persistent refusal of other state bodies to cooperate with the organization. The current situation is remarkable when considering the improvements made to the commission’s legal status and mandate. This article will identify internal and external factors that influence the organi…
The politics of avoidance
In recent years, issues pertaining to freedom of religion have attracted much attention and public controversy in Malaysia, highlighting the discrepancy between (inter)national human rights norms and national practices. Particularly anthropological theories regarding human rights realization, have argued that it is crucial for human rights to become embedded in society. This article examines how the Malaysian National Human Rights Institution (NH…
