In the name of democracy: Commoditization of religions by political parties in Indonesia Santoso, Purwo (6508252303) - Religion plays an important but problematic role in complying with the prevailing global standard of liberal democracy. The root of the problem is actually the shortcut in institutionalizing political party as a modern set up for individual participation in public affairs. Despite its institutional defect, political parties officially serve as the only legitimate channel to enter the state through open competition. Hence, the need to win election resulted in mobilization of religious-based support, and religion serves more as commodity for solidarity making, rather than set of fundamental values. This paper examines the political pactices in bringing the principles of both democracy and religion into daily real life. It particularly focuses on the exercises of commoditizing religion by political parties. This commoditization of religion can be taken as clear evidence, the paper argues, that religion is illtreated by the underperforming political parties. © 2010, State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel.

Decentralising education in Indonesia Kristiansen, Stein (7005557026); Pratikno (14063633200) - The paper aims to assess the impacts of a dramatic decentralisation reform in Indonesia on access to and quality of primary and secondary education. The research draws on qualitative and quantitative data from interviews, focus group discussions and household surveys in four selected districts. The main conclusions are threefold; the administration of educational services is without transparency and accountability, household expenditures on children's education are high and increasing, and huge social and geographical disparities exist. Policy recommendations include increased government spending to make primary education available to all and improved measures to control public policies and expenditure in this sector. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Strategies for incorporating biodiversity considerations into the mainstream of Indonesian public policy Santoso, P. (6508252303) Krattiger A.F. The paper discusses how to translate the policy framework into practice in public and private sectors dealing significantly with biodiversity. It proposes three complementary strategies. First, political strategies. The challenge is to arrange international and mutual help, in return for the "cost' of preserving Indonesia's biodiversity. From a strategic point of view, the preservation of biodiversity must go hand-in-hand with the development of biotechnology, the latter being the avenue for future economic development. By giving these issues priority in the policy agenda, biodiversity will receive increased political, financial and popular support, and ease the process of incorporation into the mainsteam of public policy. Secondly, reorientation of current legislation and regulations is important. The greatest difficulty, however, will be law enforcement, since the notion of enforcement implies unwillingness. This should be overcome by the encouragement and education of society at large. Third, economic strategies are also important. In this respect, designing incentive schemes will be critical. -from Author

The pesantren-based ruling elite in sumenep in the post-new order Indonesia Karim, Abdul Gaffar (56096547200) - This paper discusses a dominant group in local politics of Sumenep that is based on a pesantren network that is usually referred to as the Bani Syarqawi. The author argues that the superiority of religious clerics (kyai) over the mass in Sumenep has been mainly based on their adaptability to the transformational change of their role from traditional-charismatic to rational-authoritative by means of educational excellence and genealogical network that is both powerful and full of conflict. The social significance of the superiority found its way through a social change that enabled the religious elite to be the dominant elite group in Sumenep when the power of their royal counterpart declined rapidly. Equipped with Weberian model of authority, the author argues that the formalistic tendency of elite theory can be balanced with a perspective that elite can develop and exercise power over the mass even they are outside the formal structure of politics. © 2009, State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel.
