Does democratization lead to more meritocracy in the civil service? The Element argues that electoral accountability increases the value of competence over personal loyalty in the civil service. While this resembles an application of merit principles, it does not automatically reduce patronage politics or improve public goods provision. Competent civil servants are often used to facilitate the distribution of clientelistic goods at mass scale to win competitive elections. The selection of competent but less loyal civil servants requires the increased use of control mechanisms, like the timing of promotions, to ensure their compliance. The Element tests these claims using novel micro-level data on promotions in Indonesia's civil service before and after democratization in 1999. The Element shows that national- and local-level elections led to increased promotion premiums for educated civil servants, and simultaneously generated electoral cycles in the timing of promotions, but did little to improve public goods provision.

This book explores the connections between traditional Islamic education, rising religious intolerance, religious attitudes to gender, campaigns for curricula innovation and modernisation, and politics and society in Indonesia.

This volume contains contributions from three conferences held within the framework of the project "Law between Dialogue and Translation (The Example of Palestine)", funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The conferences were hosted by the project partners from the Department for Arabic and Islamic Studies of the University of Göttingen (Germany) and the Faculty of Law from Al-Quds University (Palestine) in 2019 and 2020, and the School of Graduate Studies of the State Islamic University Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta (Indonesia) in 2021. The project aimed to analyze how international law and human rights norms are implemented or "translated" into national legislation, with a special focus on the role of Islamic law and institutions in these processes. The volume provides a theoretical introduction on the concepts of "translation" of law and of "legal pluralism" and continues to discuss four main areas in which different practical aspects of these concepts can be observed: 1) the dealing of German and Palestinian judicial institutions with the relation between state, religion and rights of the individual, 2) achievements and challenges of women's rights implementation in Indonesia, 3) the entanglement of Sharia, Customary and State law in Palestine, and 4) recent developments in international criminal and humanitarian law in the Palestinian context.

Highly detailed and colourful, this account illustrates the struggle of Indonesian forces in their War of Independence against the Netherlands, following the surrender of occupying Japanese forces in 1945.Following on from MAA 521 Royal Netherlands East Indies Army 1936-42 and completing the coverage of the post-World War II wars of decolonization, The Dutch-Indonesian War 1945-49 describes the Japanese surrender in September 1945 which left a power vacuum in the colonial Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Using vivid colour illustrations and rare photos, this title depicts the various forces involved in the struggle for Indonesia: the British Indian Army troops sent to key areas to disarm Japanese garrisons, the Indonesian nationalists who immediately proclaimed an independent Republic, remaining Japanese troops, and the Dutch forces which arrived in 1946.The wide dispersion of populations, and their ethnic, religious and political differences ensured that the struggle which followed was complex. Fragmented bands of nationalist permuda insurgents were slowly brought together under command of a republican army (the BKR, later TKR, and finally the TNI, complete with naval and air elements), but stubborn negotiations alternated with bouts of major fighting. This book details how the nationalists were defeated by Dutch and Dutch-led local forces in urban areas (e.g. during Operations Product and Crow, 1947 and 1948), but how their guerrillas evaded Dutch troops in the jungle hills and swamps. Illustrating a wide range of uniforms, insignia, personal weapons and equipment, this study showcases the troops and armour involved in the conflict.

This study offers a new approach to the history of sites, archaeology, and heritage formation in Asia, through the lens of colonial and post-colonial Indonesia. It focuses on the mobility of heritage as a multi-sited phenomenon that engages with, and goes beyond, the interests of states.

Drei Themenbereiche stehen im Mittelpunkt des bisher fünfbändigen Werkes: zunächst die Aktivitäten des Dritten Reiches im asiatischen Raum, sodann das Schicksal deutscher Zivilisten, die in Asien zwischen die Fronten gerieten, und last but not least die Bedeutung der Achsenmächte für die Unabhängigkeitsbewegung asiatischer Völker. Neben Ergänzungen zur Deutschen Schule in Sarangan/Ostjava, in Indonesien untergetauchten Nazis, dem verschwundenen Nazi-Gold und der Orientierung der deutschen U-Bootfahrern in Batavia, beschäftigt sich dieser Band 5 hauptsächlich mit dem Schicksal deutscher Zivilisten, vor allen den zivilen deutschen Reichsbürgern in Niederländisch-Indien. Es wird gezeigt, wie grausam die Niederländer mit deutschen Frauen und Kindern in dem seit August 1945 unabhängigen Land Indonesien umgingen, wie deutsche Zivilisten enteignet wurden, ohne jemals eine Wiedergutmachung erhalten zu haben.

Kopar is a very moribund, close to extinct, language spoken in three villages at the mouth of the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea. This is the only description of the language available. It also discusses areas where rapid language shift is affecting the structure of Kopar. Although the period of fieldwork was necessarily short, this book provides as comprehensive a description as possible of the grammatical structure of this complex and fascinating language. It is quite thorough and detailed and goes well beyond what is normally considered a sketch grammar. It covers all the phenomena essential to description and comparison and gives clear, typologically sound definitions and explanations. The grammar is written with the research interests of language typologists and comparative grammarians foremost in mind. Typologically, Kopar can be described as a split ergative, polysynthetic language. The language lacks nominal case marking so ergativity or lack thereof is signaled by verbal agreement affixes. Tenses and moods which describe as yet unrealized events, like future and imperative, pattern accusatively for agreement affixes, while those express realized events, like past and present, pattern ergatively. In addition, the ergative case schema is overlaid by a direct-inverse inflectional schema determined by a person hierarchy, a feature Kopar shares with other languages in its Lower Sepik family. As a polysynthetic language, incorporation of sentential elements like temporals, locationals, adverbials and verbals is extensive, though noun incorporation is not. Sadly, this work is all the documentation we will likely ever have of Kopar, a language of potentially very high theoretical interest, given its rare typological profile. It will certainly be of interest to language typologists and comparative grammarians, and anyone who wants to explore the range of language variation

This book explores the ambiguous legal status of traditional - adat - communities in Indonesia and their informal, traditional rights to communal - ulayat - land.

Through his powerful and spectacular photographs, Martin Colognoli's first book lies somewhere between documentary and art. It is at once an ode to biodiversity protection, an homage to coral as an ecosystem essential to our survival, and a personal story where solidarity, respect and our relationship with living things are not empty words.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2017 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Regional Geography, grade: Ph.D., , language: English, abstract: Differences in agglomeration externalities and industrial regimes between locations generate performance differentials for their localized economic activities. For more than two decades, scholars have debated which externality is dominant for growth and under which regime. The present study aims to resolve this debate by analysing the influence of agglomeration economies on the growth of five-digit manufacturing sectors and firms in Indonesia between 2000 and 2009 discriminating cities and regencies. Specialization, competition, population density, human capital, and a set of varieties are employed. This is conducted shedding the light on policy implications of economic variety sectoral decomposition functional to revitalize Indonesian manufacturing growth after the Asian Financial Crisis, which substantially hits the Indonesian economy and manufacturing. Empirical evidence reveals that Indonesian policymakers should develop initiatives to support the competitiveness of key labour-intensive industries and manufacturing transformation towards knowledge-based productions. This can be achieved through promoting key specialised clusters characterized by large sectoral interconnectivity favouring inter and intra-industry knowledge spillovers, which allow underpinning the competitiveness of clusters and overcoming the two typical drawbacks of highly specialized locations (lock-in and lack of resilience). The formation of human capital, and the development of technologically advanced industries come to light as crucial drivers to construct a more conductive innovative environment and reduce manufacturing exposure to external industry-specific shocks. Population density and industrial diversity antithetically influence manufacturing growth in cities and regencies due to their economic heterogeneities.

Siden min bog om mit ophold på Papua Ny Guinea i 1994 udkom i 2011, har min mand, der er antropolog, og jeg rejst rundt i Asien i forbindelse med hans arbejde. En af de største oplevelser i denne forbindelse var vores ophold i Hongkong fra 2001 til 2002, hvor vi boede ude i skærgården på en lille ø, hvor livet var meget forskelligt fra det fantastisk sydende liv i centrum, der lå blot 40 minutters færgefart fra vores ø. Denne kombination af stille øliv og det dynamiske og multikulturelle centrum udfordrede ens forståelse af virkeligheden grundigt. Grundet min mands arbejde førte det os også til både Indonesien og Kina, hvor specielt Indonesien blev besøgt flere gange. Da min mand arbejdede på City University of Hong Kong, var han væk det meste af dagen, hvorfor jeg tit var overladt til mig selv. Det gjorde, at jeg skulle genopfinde mig selv i skiftende sammenhænge, både når vi var i Hongkong, men også når vi var i Indonesien. Det er denne mange facetteret og personlige rejse, som denne bog omhandler. Uddrag af bogen I forbindelse med parken er der mulighed for at spise en let frokost. Vi vælger en Thai restaurant, hvor vi sidder udenfor. Lige efter os sætter et ungt udenlandsk par sig ved et af de andre borde. Kvinden er europæer og efter asiatisk forståelse meget udfordrerne klædt. Jeg skal love for, at hun vækker opsigt. Hendes barm er næsten blottet og nederdelen superkort. De unge tjenere går diskret fnisende rundt i baggrunden, imens de øvrige frokost gæster sender skjulte øjekast til hinanden. Fornemmelsen af at måtte være så meget ’på’ kan ikke have været behagelig for det unge par. Måske er formålet netop at provokere, hvem ved? Selvom Hong Kong er et moderne relativt frit samfund, er der også her, som på langt de fleste andre steder på kloden, visse normer for hvad der er god takt og tone, ikke mindste på offentlige steder.Om forfatteren Jytte Güth Sommer er født i 1933 og blev opdraget af sine bedsteforældre i en håndværkerfamilie på Nørrebro. Var som ung i lære i Magasins modeafdeling og senere sekretær for sin chef. Blev gift og fik to børn. Som 40-årig traf hun Michael, som er antropolog og noget yngre. De har i mange år via hans forskellige job rejst og boet flere steder i udlandet, ikke mindst i Asien.
