Religious Minorities, Islam and the Law
This book examines the legal conundrum of reconciling international human rights law in a Muslim majority country and identifies a trajectory for negotiating the protection of religious minorities within Islam. The work explores the history of religious minorities within Islam in Indonesia, which contains the world’s largest Muslim population, as well as the present-day ways by which the government may address issues through reconciling international human rights law and Islamic law. Given the context of multiple sets of religious norms in Indonesia, this is a complicated endeavour. In addition to amending and enacting human rights norms, the government is also negotiating with the long hi...
Law and Politics of Religious Fraud Regulation
In comparing the ways in which China, Taiwan and Hong Kong punish religious claims and practices considered by the state to be false or fraudulent, Jianlin Chen presents a seminal contribution to the interdisciplinary study of religious freedom. The book not only reveals how these legal tools sustain a hierarchy of religion, but also the political dynamic behind the design and utilization of these legal tools.
Keramat, Sacred Relics and Forbidden Idols in Singapore
Keramat, holy graves and shrines, represent physical markers of Singapore’s history as a multi‐ethnic maritime trading center. They offered sanctified spaces not only for Muslims but also for the entire community in which they emerged. Maintained by self‐appointed caretakers, the stories of keramat often interweave fact with folklore that mirror the history and sensibilities of the community. While once an abundant part of the social landscape of Singapore, many keramat were destroyed during the post‐independence rush to develop. These keramat now face a second vanishing with memories of them fading as caretakers and community members age and pass away. In parallel, many modern Musli...
The Art of Environmental Activism in Indonesia
This book analyses the intersections between contemporary art and environmental activism in Indonesia. Exploring how the arts have promoted ecological awareness from the late 1960s to the early 2020s, the book shows how the arts have contributed to societal change and public and political responses to environmental crises. This period covers Indonesia’s rapid urban development under the totalitarian New Order regime (1967–1998) as well as the enhanced freedom of expression, alternative development models, and environmental problems under the democratic governments since 1998. The book applies the concept of ‘artivism’ to refer to the vital role of art in activism. It seeks to identif...
Military Modernisation in Southeast Asia after the Cold War
Southeast Asian countries represent a wide range of approaches to military modernisation due to their great diversity in politics, economies, geography and other factors. Bounded by the Pacific and Indian Oceans and located between China and India is the setting for the geostrategic impacts of military modernisation in Southeast Asian countries. Differing from previous research focused on military acquisition, this book additionally covers retention of assets and carefully examines the ageing issues that affect readiness and capabilities. In doing so, it provides a comprehensive view of military modernisation. This book also compares each country’s situation in the region in terms of military strength and security challenges to elaborate on the geostrategic impacts of military modernisation. The ten cases of military modernisation in the post-Cold War context provide rich content for readers to explore the evolution of military modernisation in developing countries after 1991. This book sheds light on security studies of Southeast Asia and is a useful resource for academic researchers, policy-makers and defence practitioners.
Islam, State and Society in Indonesia

It identifies and explains factors that have shaped and characterized the development of contemporary Islam and politics in Madura and recognizes and elucidates forms and aspects of the relationships between Islam and politics; between state and society; between conflicts and accommodations; between piety, tradition and violence in that area, and the fo...

Perbandingan Hukum Tata Negara
Perbandingan Hukum Tata Negara (Comparative Constitutional Law), merupakan pendekatan kajian hukum yang sangat penting bagi pemerhati dan calon Sarjana Hukum karena mampu mencandra aspek ius constituendum (hukum yang seharusnya) yang tentunya sangat berguna dalam ikhtiar reformasi hukum di Indonesia. Namun, sayangnya literatur hukum tata negara dalam bahasa Indonesia kurang mengelaborasi isu perbandingan hukum. Buku ini menjawab kekurangan referensi dalam ranah perbandingan hukum secara umum dan perbandingan hukum tata negara pada khususnya. Buku ini setidaknya memiliki 2 (dua) keistimewaan. Pertama, buku ini memberi perspektif filosofis yang sangat kuat karena sejatinya, salah satu ‘jal...
TEOLOGI KONSTITUSI: Hukum Hak Asasi Manusia atas Kebebasan Beragama
Teologi Konstitusi merupakan konsep baru yang penulis coba perkenalkan ke tengah-tengah belantara ilmu hukum, khususnya hukum tata negara. Ia berarti sebagai sebuah kesepakatan dan hukum tertinggi bangsa yang religius, bangsa Indonesia. Teologi Konstitusi yang dimaksud di sini adalah UUD NRI 1945 sebagai konstitusi negara Indonesia yang telah dirumuskan dan dibentuk berdasarkan kesadaran kolektif bangsa Indonesia atas kemahakuasaan Tuhan Yang Maha Esa. Buku ini tidak hanya membahas hak atas kebebasan beragama secara khusus, akan tetapi juga membahas hak asasi manusia secara umum, karena hak atas kebebasan beragama itu sendiri merupakan bagian atau salah satu jenis dari hak asasi manusia yang...
