Women in Indonesia
Women in Indonesia: gender, equity and development.
Women and the State in Modern Indonesia
In the first study of the kind, Susan Blackburn examines how Indonesian women have engaged with the state since they began to organise a century ago. Voices from the women's movement resound in these pages, posing demands such as education for girls and reform of marriage laws. The state, for its part, is shown attempting to control women. The book investigates the outcomes of these mutual claims and the power of the state and the women's movement in improving women's lives. It also questions the effects on women of recent changes to the state, such as Indonesia's transition to democracy and the election of its first female president. The wider context is important. On some issues, like reproductive health, international institutions have been influential and as the largest Islamic society in the world, Indonesia offers special insights into the role of religion in shaping relations between women and the state.
Contemporary Bali
This book offers a comprehensive examination of spatial and environmental governance in contemporary Bali. In the era of decentralisation, Bali's eight district governments and one municipality acquired a strong sense of authority to extract revenues from within their territorial borders while disregarding the impacts beyond them which has exacerbated environmental, cultural and institutional issues. These issues are addressed through reorganising space. In reality, however, such re-organisation has predominantly been in order to provide space for tourism investments and market expansion. The outcomes of reorganising space are in fact shaped by the dynamics of power that interface with increasingly complex legal and institutional structures. These complex structures provide more arenas for vested interests to manoeuvre, but at the same time provide different forms of legitimacy for local forces to challenge the dominant process. The book demonstrates the mechanisms through which social actors mobilise legal-institutional arrangements to advance their interests.
Women and Politics in Southeast Asia
This book aims to contribute to the discourse on women and politics in Southeast Asia. The chapters, covering Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Timor-Leste and Singapore, analyse the asymmetrical power relationships between the sexes and how power differentials between men and women play out in the realm of politics are a reflection of the power contestations women face with men in other spheres of everyday life. Each chapter seeks to ask a different question in terms of where women viz. men stand in the political landscape of their countries, in an effort to answer the question of Where are the women in the gender trope in Asian politics. While the chapters are primarily empirical as the...

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History
The Encyclopedia of Women in World History captures the experiences of women throughout world history in a comprehensive, 4-volume work. Although there has been extensive research on women in history by region, no text or reference work has comprehensively covered the role women have played throughout world history. The past thirty years have seen an explosion of research and effort to present the experiences and contributions of women not only in the Western world but across the globe. Historians have investigated womens daily lives in virtually every region and have researched the leadership roles women have filled across time and region. They have found and demonstrated that there is virt...
The Rise of International Capital
This book analyzes the social forces and political coalitions driving regional integration projects in Asia with a focus on ASEAN and Indonesian conglomerates. It asks which social forces, within the domestic political economy of Asian states, are driving governments to seek regional arrangements for economic governance. In particular the book asks how the emergence, reorganization, and expansion of capitalist class have conditioned political support for regional economic integration. By addressing these issues, the book emphasizes that the wellspring of regional economic institution projects stem from the process of capitalist development and the social forces it has unleashed. The book’s...
Semerbak Dupa di Pulau Seribu Masjid
Interaksi antarkomunitas yang berbeda etnis dan agama di Indonesia berlangsung secara dinamis. Interaksi sosial terkadang berjalan penuh harmoni yang mempercepat proses integrasi, namun tak jarang berlangsung penuh ketegangan dan konflik. Konflik yang tidak dikelola secara proporsional kerap berubah menjadi kerusuhan komunal. Konflik komunal yang terjadi disebabkan mulai pudarnya kearifan lokal (local wisdom) dan minimnya ruang publik (public sphere); dua hal yang memperlemah ikatan antarwarga. Melemahnya ikatan antarwarga yang berkelindan dengan faktor lain seperti sejarah, politik, ekonomi, dan budaya, menyebabkan berbagai pertentangan antarwarga gampang bergeser dari ketegangan personal m...
Pendidikan Gender "Dalam Sudut Pandang Islam"
Gender yang muncul dalam kehidupan Barat pasti akan berbeda dengan gender yang muncul di Timur, semangat yang muncul tetap harus berada dalam garis sumber Islam yaitu al-Qur’an dan Hadits yang mungkin berbeda adalah interpretasi. Sebab kita membahas tentang pendidikan gender Islami maka tentunya kita tidak bisa melepaskan hakikat dari Islam tersebut. Pendidikan Gender Islami adalah usaha untuk melakukan keidealan aktivitas dalam sosiokultural antara lakilaki dan perempuan sesuai dengan kemampuan dan kepantasan berdasarkan semangat al-Qur’an dan Sunnah Rasulullah sallalahu ‘alaiahi wasallam dengan tidak merugikan, merendahkan, berhipotesis alternatif negatif atau menyakiti baik laki-lak...
