Ingham, Susan Helen School of Art History & Theory UNSW. "Powerlines: alternative art and infrastructure in Indonesia in the 1990s." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Art History and Theory, 2007. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/31257.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates why an alternative visual art and arts infrastructure developed in Indonesia during the 1990s. Initially alternative exhibition spaces developed in response to a lack of outlets through the existing commercial galleries and in reaction to the cultural hegemony of Suharto???s regime, which failed to provide infrastructure for modern art. ???Alternative??? will be extended here to describe an art and an arts infrastructure that became an influential system of power, the gatekeeper for the Indonesian arts community to the international art forum. The background of Alternative art is considered, its sources being in the protest of the New Art Movement, Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru, in the 1970s and an on-going art student rebellion against the modern and decorative art taught in the art academies. Contemporary artists sought content that reflected the many issues confronting Indonesian society, and rejected that art focusing on formal properties particularly in painting, which, by avoiding contention, served the purposes of Suharto???s regime. Particular examples are explored to define the lines of power that evolved: firstly the alternative gallery, Cemeti, and secondly the curator, Jim Supangkat and his theoretical justification for Indonesian contemporary art for the international forum. Finally the career structure of Heri Dono is examined to identify the mechanisms for artistic success through international contacts. This investigation concludes that power and influence became dependent on recognition in the international forum. Western and later Asian institutions, in selecting work for the high profile survey exhibitions proliferating in the 1990s, worked almost exclusively with this network. Their preference was for installation art that reflected the socio-political context in which it was made, and the few artists who were selected developed careers very different from their colleagues in Indonesia, some becoming nomadic art stars. This relationship between the Indonesian and the international art network has gained recognition for Indonesian contemporary art and an outlet for suppressed issues and marginalised people, but did not provide a fully balanced representation of Indonesian culture and reiterated the systems and paradigms of the West in relation to Asian art.

Full textAbstract:
The repressive political conditions of the New Order state and the social dislocation caused by rapid industrial and technological development unquestionably affected the nature of artistic and cultural production in Indonesia. This thesis considers the dynamic of these conditions within a focused long-term study of the art and life of Indonesian Surealis painter, Lucia Hartini. My doctoral dissertation comprises this thesis and the forty-two minute documentary film Perbatasan / Boundaries: Lucia Hartini, Paintings from a Life (1999 2002) which I filmed in Indonesia and presents Lucia Hartini and her art in the context of her times from the historical standpoint of Reformasi and millennial change. Art historically, this thesis informs us of a wider journey, that of selected twentieth century Indonesian contemporary artists exploring concepts of simulacra, hyper-reality, the meta-real and the surreal through the stylistic use of photo-realism.
Lucia Hartini is known for her Beautiful Surrealism. A founding member of the Surealis Yogya, formed in 1985, she was the only woman from the original group to continue painting professionally from the late 1970s, throughout the New Order, and into the era of Reform. The consideration of Lucia Hartinis work in this thesis acknowledges the gradual shift in her concerns. Lucias paintings respond to her natural and social environment, as well as to the challenges and dramatic changes in her life. This thesis charts the journey of her artistic maturation, so richly embodied in her third solo exhibition, Irama Kehidupan / The Spirit of Life, in January 2002. Through a critical commentary on paintings selected from her oeuvre and the textual analysis of Perbatasan / Boundaries, I discuss Lucia Hartinis subject matter, unique systems of image formation and use of detail, her particular contribution to the characteristic qualities of Indonesian Surealisme. I regard the techniques, conceptual approaches and processes of filmmaking as intrinsic to this exploration, a methodological perspective arising from Hendro Wiyanto (2001) observation that Indonesias Surealis artists present us with reality bundled as a dream.
Lucia Hartinis work raises questions of gender and personal transformation. This thesis argues that, for many years, the tensions created by the contrary forces of political repression and social transformation characterising much of New Order Indonesia, were reflected in her art. In a microcosmic-macrocosmic sense, Lucia and her art quietly contributed to attitudinal and social change in Indonesia. Works painted between 1986 and 1996 autobiographically chart a shift from personal distress to a growing sense of empowerment, followed by life-changing spiritual growth. I contextualize these paintings socially by studying the changing interstices between Lucia Hartinis private life, her professional creative practice and the public persona she adopted in Indonesias emergent civilian society. My approach is informed by a conceptual framework based on difference, hybridity and its transformations, on the psychology of borderlands, negotiation and the transcendence of boundaries, witnessed through a study of the spiritual practice and quest for religious tolerance important to Lucia and evident in her art. This thesis reveals those boundaries which were transcended and those which remain negotiable.
Twice filming Lucia Hartinis art, I was also affected by the dramatically different conditions of production prevailing in 1992 in New Order Indonesia and those possible between 1999 and 2001 during Reformasi. These differences are highlighted in the textual analysis of Perbatasan / Boundaries. Engaging comparisons between contemporary Indonesian art and Indonesian documentary and feature films, I discuss important attempts to solve the problems associated with restrictions on freedom of expression in paintings made prior to Reformasi. I consider the different uses of figurative realism to depict subjects deemed controversial by the state, and the creation of credible representations in art and convincing characterisations in filmmaking. The dramatically real yet poetic work of the Indonesian Neo-realist filmmakers of the 1950s exemplified one such solution. Their films and ideas prompted comparisons with the photo-realism, poetic intent and dramatic juxtapositional image making of the Surealis Yogya. The relationship I perceive between Neo-realist cinematic practice and contemporary international documentary filmmaking encouraged me to make a documentary about Lucia rather than a purely creative or experimentally surreal work. Because of Reformasi and the changes wrought by Lucias personal development, Perbatasan / Boundaries: Lucia Hartini, Paintings from a Life (1999 2002) is the documentary which my first short experimental video, Pusaran / Vortex: From the Kitchen to Outer Space (1992 - 1993), made during the New Order, could not be.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] The 1974 Indonesian Marriage Law required all divorces to be ratified by courts and vested household leadership with husbands. This thesis examines the impact of this law upon the negotiation of divorce, and its implications for the constitution of state and social power. I argue that the New Order state used this law to attempt to control gender relations and reinforce political legitimacy, but that women and men resisted this project in a variety of ways. Divorce may entail the contestation of state ideological prescriptions on gender. It also reveals gender relations operating independently of the state. As such, it is a particularly fruitful site for an analysis of the location and constitution of state and social power. In order to analyse the complex relationship between marriage, divorce, and power, I have adopted several original strategies. I expand the definition of property to encompass

Full textAbstract:
There has been an on-going debate in Indonesia about
the implementation of the policy of Pers Pancasila between
the press and the government. Therefore, this study will
examine the extent to which both socio-cultural and sociopolitical
factors influence the policy of Pers Pancasila as
it actually operates. It aims to help understand why such a
debate exists and why it is likely to continue.
Using mainly a qualitative content analysis, this
thesis examines reporting in the three Indonesian daily
papers Kompas, Pelita, and The Jakarta Post between 1987-
1991. Four major news categories -news the press, religion,
development, and Pancasila issues- are defined as being
relevant to understanding the implementation of Pers
Pancasila policies. Quantitative analysis is used by
counting the frequency of the news as well as measuring the
space of each news. In addition, qualitative analysis is
applied by adopting the news-as-narrative approach used by
scholars such as Entman, Ettema, and Glasser.
Taking 180 editions of the three papers as a sample,
this study finds that there were significant differences in
the way the three papers reported the four selected news
categories. Certain papers are found to be more critical in
reporting certain news than the others. The affiliation of
of each paper, to some extent, influences the attitudes of
each paper. Pelita is affiliated to other Islamic papers,
The Jakarta Post is affiliated to Christian papers which are
in favour of the government, Kompas (the Christian based
paper) sees itself as a neutral paper which represents the
voice of the people.
Although there have been disagreements on certain
issues, such as in reporting news about development and
Pancasila, the three papers were found to consistently apply
the policy of Pars Panpasila. The papers are aware that
although the government does not have direct means of
controlling press reporting, it still has a range of
control mechanisms which substantially determines the scope
of Indonesian press freedom. Due to Indonesian cultural
diversity, the government pursues a 'free responsible' press
theory in that the press should have self-censorship.
However, there has been different interpretations made by
the press and the government about this policy which often
cause misunderstandings.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyze how Indonesian female teen magazines represent Indonesian adolescents. Female teen magazines are an important source of information on how gender is constructed in Indonesia. The thesis will contribute modestly not only to knowledge in the immediate fields of gender relations and adolescence in Indonesia but also to the wider body of literature on the relationships among gender, capitalism and patriarchy and the role of print media in shaping these relationships. Consequently, I place my discussion of how adolescents are presented in Indonesian female teen magazines within a larger context of global-local interaction at the national level. This research places Indonesian female teen magazines within the wider genre of women’s magazines. Most of the research on female magazines is focused on women rather than female adolescents, but because gender relations in society cut across the generations, this research is relevant to the study of magazines for female adolescents. Theories about women’s magazines provide insight into women’s magazines as a forum of expression that reflects gender and power relations in society. Teen magazines exist due to the rising significance of Indonesian adolescents. Indonesian adolescents emerged as a significant social group because of the course of national history and the state’s national development. Adolescence in this thesis is not treated as a biological stage of human physical development, but as the result of changes in the perception and treatment of young people by the society in which they appear. In the analysis I use Merry White’s argument with regards to marketing strategies to adolescents. I claim that Indonesian female teen magazines often have a conflicting double agenda in representing adolescents.¹Teen magazines have to make money for publishers and advertisers in order to achieve their own financial security and, at the same time, these magazines have to acknowledge local values in order to be accepted by the society. For marketing purpose, adolescents in teen magazines are represented as a modern social group. Modernity in the magazines is associated with a globalized western popular culture. My particular interest is to explore to what extent and in what ways western influences (as the standard of modernity) are employed to construct representations of female adolescents. I argue that the ways the magazines construct their own ideals of the “west” are related to the ways they construct images of Indonesian female adolescents. The magazines portray local adolescents emulating western performance and appearance

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] As a developing country, Indonesia has been struggling with complex and contentious development issues since Independence in 1945. Despite remarkable economic achievement during the New Order period (1966-1998), poverty has persisted and the benefits of development have been unequally distributed. Social welfare — the system of social security to protect the well-being of the weaker members of society has received little attention in Indonesia, both from the state and from the scholarly community. The historical neglect of social welfare in Indonesia has begun to be addressed recently, with the Social Safety Net (SSN) initiative. SSN is a social welfare program that was launched by the government of Indonesia to mitigate the deleterious impacts of the economic crisis that hit the nation in 1997. This thesis aims to assess how the SSN accommodated the needs and aspirations of poor women, particularly those who live in rural areas. The rural poor deserve attention because poverty in rural areas is widespread and often intractable, and because poverty in rural areas tends to be more invisible than in urban areas. The urban poor are more visible, because they are “in the face” of the powerful every day, and they are more likely to be able to access agencies of power than the rural poor.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen är en tillämpning av Linda Hutcheons adaptionsteoretiska analysmodell på dokumentärfilmen The Act of Killing - en film som beskrivits som både modig, banbrytande, skrämmande, avslöjande och viktig, men också opolitisk, provocerande, vilseledande, manipulativ och exploaterande. Uppsatsen undersöker med hjälp av Hutcheons genomgripande metodfrågor vad, vem, varför, hur, var och när, hur frågor om representation kan uppfattas så olika och hur kritiken kan vara så polariserad kring filmen. Filmens komplexa bakgrund, innehåll och form kräver en bred och djupgående analys för att få fatt på vad som döljer sig bakom dramatiserade drömmar, fantasier, minnen, rekonstruerade mord, intervjuer, metainslag och bakom-kameran-scener. Uppsatsen går igenom bakgrunden till de massmord som begicks på omkring en miljon människor i Indonesien 1965/66, medialiseringen kring dem, fylld av inhemsk propaganda och exotiserande västerländsk rapportering, och filmprocessen för filmen. Filmen visar några av mördarna och hur de än idag åtnjuter en straffrihet vilken gör det möjligt för dem att för Oppenheimers kamera skryta om hur de gick till väga. Uppsatsen fokuserar på representation av de i händelserna berörda parterna, av de verkliga händelserna i historien och av indoneser som etnisk grupp och följer kapitelvis samma uppställning som Hutcheon gör i sin bok A Theory of Adaptation med frågorna Vad, Vem och Varför, Hur och Var och När.The essay is an application of Linda Hutcheon's adaptation theory analysis model on the documentary film The Act of Killing - a film that has been described as both brave, groundbreaking, frightening, revealing and important, but also unpolitical, provocative, misleading, manipulative and exploitative. The essay examines with the help of Hutcheon's pervasive questions what, who, why, how, where and when, how representation can be perceived so differently and how criticism can be so polarized around the film. The film's complex background, content and form require a broad and in-depth analysis to grasp what is hidden behind dramatized dreams, fantasies, memories, reconstructed murders, interviews, meta parts and behind-the-scenes scenes. The essay examines the background of the mass murders of about one million people in Indonesia in 1965/66, the medialization around them, filled with domestic propaganda and exoticizing Western reporting, and the film process for the film. The film shows some of the murderers and how they still enjoy an impunity today, which allows them to boast in front of Oppenheimer's camera about their actions. The essay focuses on the representation of the persons involved in the events, of the real events in history and of Indonesians as an ethnic group and follows the same set of chapters as Hutcheon does in her book A Theory of Adaptation with the questions What, Who and Why, How and Where and When.

Full textAbstract:
Minangkabau is an Austronesian, Indonesian-type language spoken in West Sumatra by approximately seven million speakers. Despite its large number of speakers and the spread of Minangkabau people throughout the Indonesian Archipelago, Minangkabau remains under-described when compared to other Indonesian-type languages like Javanese. This study seeks to improve current understanding about Minangkabau by describing its system of voice alternations and verb morphology. This study presents a novel analysis of the forms and functions of voice marking in Minangkabau, incorporating naturalistic data into the analysis as well as taking the findings of recent typological and theoretical studies of Austronesian languages into consideration. The study makes use of naturalistic, conversational and narrative data from a database maintained by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Field Station in Padang. The study also makes use of elicited data collected in Perth and during fieldwork in Padang. Naturalistic and more formal, elicited Minangkabau data reveals different kinds of linguistic patterns, therefore this study makes a distinction between Colloquial Minangkabau and Standard Minangkabau. The study concludes that Minangkabau has a pragmatically motivated voice system encoded by the alternation between active voice, passive voice and the pasif semu construction. In addition, the study concludes that Minangkabau also has a conceptually motivated voice system that is encoded by a series of semantic and lexical/derivational affixes (ta-, pa-, and ba-) which show how the action originates and develops. The Minangkabau applicatives -an and -i are for the most part valency changing devices but operate within both the pragmatic and conceptual domains of Minangkabau voice. The active voice marker maN- also operates in both pragmatic and conceptual domains whereas the use of the passive voice marker di- is primarily motivated by pragmatic and syntactic factors. This analysis is supported by the finding that di- is a morphosyntactic clitic whereas the conceptual voice markers are affixes and have mainly lexico-semantic properties.

Full textAbstract:
Computers have begun to be exploited for English
teaching purposes by some Indonesian teachers.
Unfortunately, the potential of the computer is not fully
realized. There is also a danger that the computer is
misused. For example, the computer use is limited to
delivering exclusively dri11-and-practice exercises. It
is, therefore, very essential for Indonesian EFL teachers
to explore avenues for improving the computer use.
The aim of this study is explore how CALL (Computer
Assisted Language Learning) is used in the ACT in order
to encourage and improve the use of CALL in relation to
English teaching in Indonesia.
In this study, the different theories of CALL are
reviewed. This is followed by a description of how CALL
is utilized in the ACT. This CALL survey is offered as a
model for comparison. Since CALL is still considered a
controversial issue, students' and teachers' attitudes
toward CALL are also investigated. Finally, implications
and suggestions are put forward for Indonesian EFL
teachers and educational authorities. Important insights
from the survey are emphasized. Necessary information
which was not found in the survey, such as the latest
developments in CALL, is included.

Full textAbstract:
The Halmahera arc is a north-south linear intraoceanic arc cutting across the islands of Halmahera and Bacan in NE Indonesia. The arc is the result of the eastward subduction of the Molucca Sea Plate, accommodating the westward movement of the Pacific and Philippine Sea Plates (PSP) against the Eurasian margin. To the south of the Halmahera arc is a major left-lateral strike-slip fault system: the Sorong Fault Zone (SFZ), which separates the northward movement of Australia from the westward movement of the PSP. This plate boundary has been stable throughout the Neogene to the present day, and has been responsible for the transfer of continental fragments from the Australian margin into the southern Molucca Sea region. K/Ar dating has revealed the migration of volcanism along the length of the Halmahera arc from south to north. The oldest volcanics (ca. 11 Ma) are from Obi, the southernmost island in the region, where volcanism is now extinct. Moving north into Bacan, ages range from 7 Ma to the Quaternary, whereas in central Halmahera they range from 6-2 Ma. The present-day arc currently lies to the west of central Halmahera and stretches up the north-west arm of the island. On the basis of spatial, temporal and geochemical variations a possible seven Neogene volcanic centres can be distinguished along the length of the arc. Major element, trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb-O isotopic analyses reveal a wide diversity in geochemical characteristics between the centres. This is due to heterogeneity within the arc mantle wedge, the type of arc crust through which the volcanics were erupted and variations in contribution to the mantle wedge from a subducted component. Volcanic rocks from Obi, central Halmahera and north Bacan display geochemical characteristics typical of intraoceanic arc lavas. The lack of a continental component within these centres enables a greater understanding of the variety of processes and source components affecting arc magmatism in this region. Similarities in certain incompatible trace element characteristics between volcanic rocks of the Mariana and Halmahera arc suggest both arcs are products of a variably depleted mantle beneath the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP). Pb isotopic data from the Halmahera arc, combined with data from back-arc basaltic rocks from the PSP, suggests an I-MORB-type mantle wedge exists beneath this plate and hence that it was once part of the Indo- Australian plate. Volcanic rocks from west and south Bacan lie outside the isotopic ranges displayed by lavas from Obi, north Bacan and Halmahera, reaching extreme Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic ratios consistent with the assimilation of a continental component. Isotopic analyses of Permo-Triassic granitic material, found exposed in the Sula- Banggai islands, New Guinea margin, and Queensland, NE Australia, indicate that this is the most likely contaminant of volcanic rocks in the south Bacan region. In contrast, volcanic rocks from west Bacan are contaminated with a component similar in isotopic composition to highly metamorphosed rocks found exposed in the Sibela Mountains, south Bacan. The geochemical signature and age of the Halmahera arc lavas has implications for the arrival and movement of continental crust in the region. Combined with stratigraphic and tectonic knowledge of the region this study has been used to construct a possible model for the development of the Halmahera arc. The contaminated signature of the Bacan Neogene volcanic rocks supports the hypothesis of overthrusting of ophiolitic and continental material, derived from the PSP and Australian plates respectively, due to collision between the Australian continent and a PSP arc during the Early Miocene. This initiated the development of the Sorong Fault Zone, which was responsible for the recent movement of these 'terranes' into the southern Molucca Sea region.

Full textAbstract:
The study consists of five chapters. The first chapter
gives a brief description of how English as a foreign language is taught in Indonesia and the need to improve the
social competence of Indonesian speakers of English so that
they will be regarded as competent speakers in social
interaction. Language competence, including the notion of
linguistic competence, together with the notions of
communicative competence and social competence, is discussed
in the second chapter, since it underlies the language
learner's knowledge and ability to create and maintain a
harmonious atmosphere in social interaction. Furthermore,
the theory of communicative competence will include
competency in sociocultural rules of use which will specify
the ways in which utterances are produced and understood
appropriately with respect to the components of
communicative events outlined by Hymes. Speech act theory,
particularly as it relates to complimenting behaviour is
discussed.
Chapter three reviews research on complimenting behaviour
and considers some possible reasons why Indonesians do not
pay as many compliments as Australians do. Ways of
perceiving face - threatening acts and politeness are
related to different cultures with different social values
because of their different traditions, experience, ways of
development and ways of thinking. Developing from these
considerations of theory and research, the fourth chapter
describes the study project which deals with what counts as
a compliment in Indonesian and Australian English, what to
compliment about and how people compliment as well as how
people accept and respond to compliments. Analysis of some
problems caused by lack of awareness of the differences
between cultures and the effects of applying ones own
strategy in complimenting behaviour, leading to
misunderstanding, are also discussed. In the final chapter,
the results of the project suggest what Indonesian learners
of English need to be taught to help students develop social
competence in complimenting behaviour. Suggestions for
improving the social competence of Indonesian speakers of
English are made.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] The May 1998 anti-Chinese riots brought to the fore the highly problematic position of the ethnic Chinese in the Indonesian nation. The ethnic Chinese were traumatised by the event, and experienced an identity crisis. They were confronted with the reality that many Indonesians still viewed and treated them as outsiders or foreigners, despite the fact that they had lived in Indonesia for many generations. During Suharto's New Order (1966-1998), the ethnic Chinese had been given the privilege to expand the nation's economy (and their own wealth), but, paradoxically, were marginalised and discriminated against in all social spheres: culture, language, politics, entrance to state-owned universities, public service and public employment. This intentional official discrimination against the Chinese continuously reproduced their

Full textAbstract:
Since the advent of the women's movement, the mass media and literary classics
have become targets for intensive scrutiny by some feminists who are concerned
with the role and influence the media and literature play in promoting a gendered
society. This thesis, focuses mainly on representations of Indonesian women as
presented by the Jakarta-based women's magazine, femina. By analysing six articles
that appeared in the magazine from the 1970s to the 1990s, representations of gender
relationships have been highlighted.
Shaped dominantly by Islamic beliefs, and the Javanese values, which consist
of a syncretic blend of Animist, Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic beliefs, contemporary
Indonesian society is dominated by a strong political state and patriarchal value
system which downgrades women. Resulting from the political changes introduced
by the New Order, there has been a pivotal transformation of Indonesian women's
organisations. The regime strongly encourages wives' organisations, despite the full
equality guaranteed to men and women by the 1945 Constitution. It is demanded of
Indonesian women that their foremost duties are their motherly and wifely roles.
The influence of the priyayi, the Javanese elite, who believe that woman's destiny is
primarily centred on her role as wife and mother, is partially responsible for the
continuing influence of this ideal and the way it subordinates women to men. The
religious traditions are also not without considerable influence in this area. These
values can be found in the articles examined. Further, the thesis investigates
attitudes to women who work outside the home, the double burden that they carry,
and any changes in the representations of women and gender relations over the
twenty years as revealed infemina.

Full textAbstract:
In 1852, a five-minute long earthquake hit the Banda Arc region that was felt over most of Indonesia. It caused uplift of new islands and sent a tsunami across the Banda Sea that reached a height of 8 meters at Banda Neira and was also registered at Ambon, Saparua and other islands. Records of the 1852 earthquake at multiple locations provide the constraints needed to reconstruct the disastrous event through earthquake intensity analysis and numerical modeling of the tsunami. Using tsunami heights and arrival times as the major constraints, best fit numerical models of the tsunami were constructed using Clawpack. These models indicate that the earthquake was most likely a mega-thrust event along the Tanimbar Trough with a Mw of around 8.4. At least 10-15 meters of elastic strain energy has accumulated along the Tanimbar Through since the 1852 event, and the population in the region has increased exponentially. When another event occurs ≥ that in 1852, there will be many more people and treasure in harms way.

Full textAbstract:
This study focusses on the dynamics which underlie the changing relationships
between Chinese and pribumi business interests and the state. Under the Colonial
state, the indigenous bourgeoisie had been practically eliminated, not only by the
Dutch but also by priyayi bureaucrats. Consequently, Indonesia inherited a socially
and politically weak bourgeoisie dominated by the Chinese who controlled
substantial commercial networks, but had limited potential for political organisation.
In the post-colonial era, attempts to build an indigenous bourgeoisie failed and it was
the state that assumed the leading role in the economy.
Under the New Order Government, the Chinese were to play a central role in
promoting rapid economic growth and industrialisation. While this intensified
resentment in some areas, new relationships between Chinese and pribumi capital
and the state emerged. The intensifying relationship with the Chinese and pribumi
had been built primarily around business alliances between large Chinese companies
and companies owned by powerful political families. As such, cooperation remain
highly dependent upon protective policies and access to monopolies.
The unleashing of economic liberalisation resulted in the maturation of the
bourgeoisie, characterised by their increasing entry into the international market.
Conflict within business continued to evolve around the issues of conglomerates and
was largely racially based. However, other factions were to emerge between
upstream and downstream producers, between trading monopolists and producers.
The case studies in this thesis draw out the increasing complexity of pribumi-
Chinese relations. In the case of cloves we find that conflict between a Chinese
cigarette manufacturing conglomerate and apribumi trading monopolist had few
racial aspects. Rather, it was a conflict between rent-seekers and producers that was
reflected in other parts of the economy and included both pribumi and Chinese on
either side. As the economy grew and capitalism matured, issues other than race
became important. These included deregulation of trade and investment, regulation
and macro policy, with Pribumi and Chinese becoming absorbed and integrated on
either side of the various conflicts.

Full textAbstract:
The study reported in this thesis is a single-shot case study, which aims to provide a detailed description ofthe reading comprehension strategies used by fifteen student teachers ofEnglish from Indonesian- and Javanese-speaking backgrounds in the last year of their four-year Strata-One study at a university In Yogyakarta, Indonesia. These readers were above average among their peers in that their average indexes of grades in Reading and Speaking classes were 3.22 and 3,34 respectively, while the average indexes ofthe peer group were 271 and 2.63, respectively, out ofa scale of 0 to 400. In addition, while students in this university may complete their study by course work or by research, these readers were all enrolled as research students. As studying comprehension strategies involves complex issues, a multi-method approach is required, not only for breadth of coverage, but also to allow for a check on the validity of individual methods. To achieve the goal of the study, thinka1oud tasks, retellings, a reading comprehensIon test, indepth interviews and observations were employed to explore the strategies used.
An analysis of the recorded data indicates that these readers used thirty strategies classified under five clusters: infomiation gathering, information processing, text interpretation, comprehension monitoring, and comprehension utilisation. In general, readers started gathering information by silent reading, interpreted the text by an inference or a paraphrase, and ended the task by making selfreflections relevant to the text. Most readers managed to identify problems when they occurred, and monitored their comprehension when they doubted their interpretation, as could be seen from their rereading the text or vocalising its pail(s). When direct interpretation was difficult, readers associated the text with prior knowledge or interrelated parts of the text,
The readers in this study share characteristics of both poor and good native readers, in the sense that there was evidence ofgood strategy use butthe readers did not manage to maintain it consistently. As a result, even the successful readers were not able to maximise their potential. The implication is that in order to develop students into independent readers, strategy instruction should be part of and appropriately embedded in, the reading instruction. There is a need not merely to teach strategies as such, but rather to teach flexibility in strategy use. While there was sufficient evidence that thinkaloud tasks and their complementary methods worked to achieve the goals ofthe present study, similar studies with different cohorts are suggested for crosschecks.

"Water as a Public Good in Indonesia: An evaluation of water supply service performance in an Indonesian water supply enterprise as a means to address social and environmental justice concerns." Flinders University. Flinders Institute of Public Policy and Management, 2006. http://catalogue.flinders.edu.au./local/adt/public/adt-SFU20060522.144632.
Full textAbstract:
A water supply service can be seen as a public or private good, but this thesis
makes the argument that water is vital for society and so to ensure accountability it is
important that water governance includes citizens' participation for social and
environmental justice concerns. Public goods are generally defined as goods and
services that are provided by 'means of public policy' (Lane, 1993, p. 21), or
'collective political choice' (Stretton & Orchard, 1994, p. 54) rather than by means of
an individual market mechanism in which private goods are usually provided.
This thesis addresses the function of water as a public good. If social and
environmental goals of water use are ignored, the implications can be detrimental
particularly for the poorest members of society. An organization's goal effectiveness
is usually related to its success in achieving desired outcomes of the organization's
goals through a systemic management interaction across organizational aspects at the
input, process, output, and outcome/impact stages. This thesis argues an evaluation
model of performance measurement can be developed to reflect the characteristics of
a public good for a water supply utility, and this model of performance measurement
can assist in addressing issues of social and environmental justice.
Harris et al argue that better governance can only be achieved by working for
democracy in multiple arenas (Harriss, Stokke, & Tornquist, 2004, pp. 7-8). This
study considers multidimensional performance measures taking on board the values of
many stakeholders with different backgrounds. It 'unfolds' and 'sweeps in' in many
dimensions in an attempt at systemic representation (Ulrich, 1983, p. 169). McIntyre-
Mills states that 'service need to reflect the values of the users and for this to occur the users need to participate in and decide on policy design and governance'
(McIntyre-Mills, 2003, p. 14). Performance measurement systems can be used to
detect a gap between services supplied by providers and various needs demanded by
stakeholders.
The thesis develops an outcome performance measurement model for
evaluating social equity and environmental justice concerns. It draws on and adapts
four performance measurement models of the International Water Association, World
Bank, Indonesian Home Affairs Department and Indonesian Water Supply Enterprise
Association.
A complementary combined method was developed that addresses qualitative
and quantitative governance concerns as they perform to water supply performance
problems. Three research methods were used, namely the case study, survey and
focus group discussion for collecting qualitative and quantitative data from the three
governance sectors. These were triangulated. Five research tools in the case study
method were used for collecting information from stakeholders in the three
governance sectors including interview, personal communication or email, document
analysis, direct observation and documentation. The survey was used to investigate
431 respondents from three case study locations in Cinusa1 city, and the two focus
groups were conducted in the city's water supply company management for
discussing problems of water supply performance as summarized from the survey.
The locus of this study was concentrated in the Cinusa city jurisdiction area,
and the focus was the performance problem of the water supply company in Cinusa
during 2001-2004. However, a comparative study of water supply performance
nationally and internationally is presented for analyzing relative performance gaps.This research evaluates interconnections among cost inefficiency, tariff
escalation and other non-financial performances: water supply quantity, quality,
continuity and pressure. Inefficient costs because of corrupt, collusive and nepotistic
practices in this Indonesian water supply company implicate cost burdens in the
company and prevent this water local public enterprise perform its social and
environmental missions. The Cinusa local government as the owner of this local
public enterprise and the Cinusa local parliament hold a monopoly power in some
important decisions related to this local public enterprise, including tariff policy,
senior management positions and the total amount of profit share paid to the local
government. Such customers from lower income household instead of being
subsidized as specified in the national regulation are paying at a profitable tariff and
subsidizing this enterprise's inefficiency and the government's locally generated
revenue.
The inefficiency alongside the profit sharing policy also weakens this
enterprise's capacity to invest and improve its service performances. Improving the
service performance is essential for current and potential customers and could also
benefit the society economically, socially and environmentally, besides being of
economic benefit to the enterprise itself. Securing public health concerns and
groundwater preservations can be conducted by improving the accessibility, the
availability and the reliability of water quality, quantity, pressure and continuity.
This research presents an evaluation model for improving the accountability of
water supply by means of performance management tool and it makes policy
recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
The islands of Halmahera, Morotai, Bacan, Obi and Waigeo lie in a zone of complex tectonics at the junction between the Eurasian margin and the Philippine Sea and Australian plates. New age data from the region using Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr and K-Ar systems and geochemical data are presented and are integrated with existing geological, geochemical and isotopic data to produce a regional geochronological framework. Continental metamorphic rocks of probable Palaeozoic age, derived from New Guinea, are found on Bacan and Obi. Sm-Nd model ages indicate that metamorphic protoliths contained Precambrian cratonic material which was subsequently mixed with younger mantle-derived material. Rb-Sr and K-Ar systematics give Neogene ages which relate to exhumation and emplacement of these rocks by strike-slip processes in the Sorong fault system. Ophiolitic rocks from Halmahera, Obi and Gag are of Philippine Sea plate origin and are interpreted to have formed an intra-oceanic forearc-arc-backarc system of Jurassic age based on Sm-Nd, K-Ar dating and geochemical and stratigraphic evidence. Subsequent Cretaceous to Tertiary arc activity has largely disturbed K-Ar ages of ophiolitic rocks. Cretaceous calc-alkaline arc activity formed the Gowonli and related volcaniclastic formations on Obi and Waigeo. Unusual amphibole-rich cumulates, hornblende gabbros and ultramafic rocks occur adjacent to continental metamorphic rocks. These yield Cretaceous and younger isotopic ages and are interpreted as the roots of a calc-alkaline island arc subsequently disrupted and uplifted by faulting in the Early Cretaceous and Neogene. Diorites and trondjhemites intruded into ophiolitic rocks on Halmahera and Obi date two phases of arc-related plutonic activity in the Middle to Late Cretaceous. One Paleocene diorite has also been dated. Isotopic ages from amphibolites, derived from basic protoliths, and biostratigraphic ages from sedimentary fault-related breccia deposits indicate deformation of ophiolitic rocks in the Late Cretaceous. Ar-Ar plateau ages and reset K-Ar ages suggest another period of deformation in the Paleocene. Isotopic dating shows that Tertiary arc activity occurred in three phases: a brief, Middle Eocene phase of diorite and andesite formation in eastern Halmahera; a dominantly Oligocene period of arc activity related to subduction beneath the Philippine Sea plate and a Neogene phase related to subduction of the Molucca Sea plate. Oligocene arc activity was terminated by Early Miocene collision of the Philippine Sea plate with the northern Australian margin. Convergence of the Philippine Sea plate with the Eurasian margin led to Neogene arc activity above an eastward-dipping Molucca Sea plate slab. Isotopic dating indicates that Neogene arc volcanism migrated northwards over time. Pliocene compressional deformation in Halmahera and Bacan caused a westward shift of the arc to its present position and may be related to collision events within the Sorong Fault system

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with the relationship between religious fundamentalism and the internet. It aims to be a critique of the conception that religion and modernization are inherently incompatible; that modernization leads to the death of religion, as advocated the secularization theorists. It argues that the notion is an inaccurate characterization and understanding of the interplay between the forces of religion and modernization; rather, both co-exist and mutually reinforce one another. It also argues that it is inappropriate to label religious fundamentalism as an anti-modern movement; it might be true that it is ideologically ultra-orthodox, but it is technologically a modern movement. The value of this study lies in its findings that the most conservative religious groups like the Salafi community not only persist in the face of modernization, but also transform realities of modernity like the internet into a new form of modern product that serves well their religious needs and interests. To support this, I analysed Salafism, a transnational Islamic fundamentalist movement, and its use of the internet within the Indonesian context to uncover how they employ the technology. I examined the ways the Salafis use the internet in accordance with their ideological purposes in the frameworks of cultured technology, localization process of global force of information technology, appropriation of global media, and spiritualizing technology. Textual analysis was mainly employed as a method to understand the Salafi web contents and uncover the ways the Salafi use the internet.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis will examine the more active role played in Java by the urban wong cilik (the underclass; literally, the 'little people') in contesting the state�s authority,
particularly during the later years of the New Order regime, and following its demise in
1998. I will provide examples of social practices employed by the wong cilik in their
everyday lives and in their adaptation to periods of significant social and political
upheaval. These demonstrate the ways in which they are able to contest the state�s efforts
to impose its authority. These practices also develop and employ a variety of subversive
discourses, whose categories and values diverge significantly from the official language
of government. The examination of the relative linguistic, cultural and normative
autonomy of the seemingly powerless underclass reveals an extremely contested political
terrain in which the wong cilik are active rather than passive agents in urban society.
These ideas have developed out of urban field research sited around warungs
(sidewalk food stalls), urban kampongs and in the city streets of the three Javanese cities
of Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Jakarta. These urban social spaces will be shown to be
significant for the underclass because they constitute sites through which they constantly
interact with diverse social groups, thereby sharpening their knowledge of the
contradictions and feelings of otherness manifest between the classes in Java�s large
cities. It will be shown how, in these spaces, the underclass also experience the state�s
attempts at control through various officially sanctioned projects and how the underclass
are able to subvert those projects through expressive means such as songs, poems and
forms of mockery which combine to make the state�s dominant discourses lose much of
their efficacy.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia achieved remarkable growth during the first 25 years of its series of Five Year Development Plans, which started in 1968. However, growth has not been well distributed across the regions, in part this is as a result of the Indonesian government development policy of a growth centre approach which has benefited �Western Indonesia� (Kawasan Barat Indonesia, KBI) more than �Eastern Indonesia� (Kawasan Timur Indonesia, KTI). Prosperity needs to be spread across Indonesian regions and needs to be more equitably shared.
The thesis argues that government needs to search for other ways to overcome the imbalance by accelerating KTI development, to reduce this region�s resentment, which may increase the risk of disintegration.
The central aim of this research is to describe and critically evaluate the potential usefulness of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as a means to address the regional imbalance in economic development. It aims to make a contribution by:
1. Describing in detail the ways government decision-makers see the
situation, in other words giving the viewpoints of the state;
2. Providing detailed transcriptions of the interpretations and opinions
expressed by powerful decision makers in the public and private
sectors;
3. Demonstrating how the public, private and non-government sectors
operate;
4. Making the realistic point that the links across these sectors leads to both
positive and negative outcomes; including
5. Illustrating through examples how corruption spreads from the public
to the other sectors.
This study examines the contributing factors to regional imbalance in Indonesia between KBI and KTI by means of a case study of policy and management challenges in KTI. It examines the current strategy used for accelerating the economic development of KTI and considers whether a new strategy of Public Private Partnerships would have relevance and can be developed and implemented to accelerate the development.
Current strategies especially formulated for accelerating KTI economic development include:
(i) The Policy and Strategy of the Eastern Indonesia Development Council
(ii) The Program of the Ministry for Acceleration of Eastern Indonesian Development; and
(iii) The Integrated Economic Development Zone program
However, one of the weaknesses of these policies is the lack of cooperation across government and the private sector.
This study has found that the government strategies and policies have neither matched local needs nor the implementation of economic development. The study, based on both interviews and secondary data, demonstrates that the causes of the economic imbalance are systemic and multiple. They span not only government policies contributing to the imbalance directly and indirectly but also other factors, such as:
(i) Systemic corruption across the public, private and non-government sectors;
(ii) Lack of willingness to address the issues, lack of capital, lack of capable human resource and lack of infrastructure, lack of domestic and international market access, lack of communication and coordination and lack of cooperation.
To overcome these problems, the Indonesian government together with business and the watchful eye of diverse civil society organizations need to change policies, systems, and visions for developing this region.
Public Private Partnerships through a mutual partnership program could be one way of accelerating the development in KTI. On the one hand there are some direct and positive consequences of this new vision, for example, the private sector sharing their knowledge, skills, funds, management and enhanced utilisation of market mechanisms to support the government in the development process. On the other hand there are many limitations to the approach such as government often accepts greater risk than is warranted, dangers of corruption and cronyism which may attend more intensive in long-term relationship and contracted services resulted in corruption and secret business influence in government. According to Transparency International, Indonesia remains one of the most corrupt nations internationally. Unless strategies are put in place to address systemic and endemic corruption and Public Private Partnerships are well managed, then the model for Public Private Partnership will only serve to exacerbate the problem. Systemic corruption also effects trust amongst stakeholders, which needs to be hand-in-hand with strategies to address �demoralisation� for developing prosperity.
Government is becoming more responsive to the private sector�s needs by providing a conducive environment for investment, entrepreneurship and innovation. Public Private Partnerships could be a means to balance power between public, non-government and private sectors if there is more capacity building to enhance the competency and responsibility of the players.
No development solution can come about by working with only the public or the private or the community sectors or just non-government organizations. This study makes a strong case that the �solutions need to be found in Partnerships�. However, in exploring the complexity of the social capital of trust-based networks between people (but which also unfortunately exclude others) which are important for partnerships and, correspondingly, with partnerships being important for social capital, the researcher finds that there is no neat or simplistic partnership that can produce miraculous results. Some partnerships can be corrupt, some can lead to better life chances for local citizens, but the merits of each case need to be considered contextually. Widespread change is only likely when there is systemic change across governance arenas (public, private and non-government) and with consideration of social, cultural, political, economic and environmental factors. Instead of blaming development problems on insufficient participation or the lack of capacity of the ordinary people, the problems lie equally with the state, big business and non-government organizations. More effective managerial skills and efficient processes are needed in the governance of all these organizations while the role played by civil society is essential in making this governance accountable. Better partnerships can provide models that could inspire others to follow.
Overall this study describes the complex problems created by poor policy making from above. The �gaze� (in the sense used by Foucault) is shifted from the �non-participating and incapable� citizens to the �ineffective and inefficient� powerful. Why are ordinary people so often studied to find answers to societal or systemic problems? The thesis argues that this is because they are easier to ask, more tolerant of the researcher, more resigned to answering a number of questions, or perhaps think it is easier to answer questioners in order to �get rid of them�.
Instead this thesis probes the viewpoints of the powerful. Researcher who is interested in understanding how the state operates in Eastern Indonesia could �trawl through this material� in order to develop a greater understanding of the dynamics of power.
To conclude, the researcher is first and foremost a practical person, who wishes to find solutions by creating the conditions for better partnership arrangements. Instead, she found that the decision makers are part of the problem. For transformation in governance to occur, stronger civil society cooperation through �communities of practice� is needed. This would be in the interests of all sectors of society if a regionally more balanced sustainable future is to be achieved.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] The aims of the study were twofold; firstly, to describe the inequality in infant mortality in Indonesia namely, to look at the extent and magnitude of the problem in terms of the estimated number of infant deaths, the differentials in infant mortality rates, the probability of infant deaths across provinces, urban and rural areas, and across regions of Indonesia. Secondly, to examine the effect of family welfare status and maternal educational levels on the probability of infant deaths. The study design was that of a population-based multistage stratified survey of the 1997 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey. Results of the study were obtained from a sample of 28,810 reproductive women aged 15 to 49 years who belonged to 34,255 households. A binary outcome variable was selected, namely, whether or not each of the live born infant(s) from the interviewed women was alive or dead prior to reaching one year of age. Of interest were the variables related to socio-economic status, measured by Family Welfare Status Index and maternal educational levels. The following risk factors were also investigated: current contraceptive methods; birth intervals; maternal age at first birth; marital duration; infants’ size perceived by the mothers; infants’ birth weight; marital status; prenatal care by health personnel; antenatal TT immunization; place of delivery; and religion. Geographical strata (province) and residence (urban and rural areas) were also considered. Both descriptive and multivariate analyses were undertaken. Descriptive analysis was aimed at obtaining non-biased estimates of the infant mortality rates at the appropriate levels of aggregation. Multivariate analysis involved a logistic regression model using the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model-fitting technique. The procedure, a multilog-cumlogit , uses the Taylor Series Linearization methods to compute modelbased variance, and which adjusts for the complex sampling design. Results of descriptive analysis indicate that, indeed, there are inequalities in infant mortality across administrative divisions of the country, represented by provinces and regions, as well as across residential areas, namely urban and rural areas. Also, the results suggested that there is socio-economic inequality in infant mortality, as indicated by a dose-response effect across strata of family welfare and maternal educational levels, both individually and interactively. These inequalities varied by residence (urban and rural), provinces and regions (Java Bali, Outer Java Bali I and Outer Java Bali II). Furthermore, the probability of infant mortality was significantly greater among highrisk mothers, characterized by a number of risk factors used in the study

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia is home to 183 million people scattered through about 13 thousand
islands. There are at least 583 dialects and also various religions and ethic
groups exist in the country. Thus, the issue of unification is significant in
Indonesia. To date, the state's ideology, Pancasila, has been considered as an
effective device to bring the nation together. Pancasila is also used as a platform
for Indonesia's developmental policy making. Media in Indonesia have long been
seen as a means to support the development process.
Indonesia has just completed its first Long Term Development Plan (1969 to
1994). The first Long Term Development Plan emphasized Indonesia's
economy. Under the New Order administration, Indonesia has achieved both
political stability and a continuing economic growth. Lately, there are some
significant changes in the field of broadcasting infrastructure.
On July 24th, 1990, the government issued the Decree of the Minister of
Information (no. 111/Kep/Menpen/1990) which is unofficially known as the 'Open
Skies Policy'. This policy allows the private sector to run private television
stations and also gives permission to the public to own satellite dishes.
The 'Open Skies Policy' can be seen as a breakthrough in Indonesian media
infrastructure because from 1962 to 1989, Indonesia had only one, state owned,
television station-TVRI. Now, there are five private stations and numerous
foreign television stations beamed through at least 400 thousand satellite dishes
in the country. The number of telephones, however, has not yet exceeded 1.7
million.
This thesis recognizes that the 'Open Skies Policy' deserves thorough analysis
because it reflects a series of significant changes in the Indonesian governments
development strategies. This thesis sets itself the following objectives: to
overview major development communication paradigms and to consider which
development paradigm works most effectively in the Indonesian context; to
explain how 'development' has been conceptualized in Indonesia and how this
has manifested in media policy; to analyse the implications of the 'Open Skies
Policy' and to consider whether it represents a new direction in Indonesia's
developmental policy making.

Full textAbstract:
Jembrana disease virus (JDV) is a lentivirus causing an acute infection with a 17% case fatality rate in Bali cattle in Indonesia. Control of the disease is currently achieved by identification of infected areas and restriction of cattle movement. A detergent-inactivated whole virus tissue-derived vaccine is sometimes employed in affected areas.
This thesis reports initial attempts to produce genetically engineered vaccines to replace the inactivated tissue-derived vaccine, which as it is made from homogenised spleen of infected animals, is expensive to produce and could contain adventitious agents present in the donor animals.
4 potential DNA vaccine constructs were created containing the JDV genes coding for the Tat, capsid (CA), transmembrane (TM) and surface unit (SU) proteins in a commercially available vaccine plasmid. These were assessed for functionality in a range of in vitro and in vivo assays. All proteins were expressed in vitro and administration of 2 of the constructs by a commercial gene gun into the epidermis of mice resulted in antibody production to the appropriate protein. Due to the difficulties of licensing such a DNA vaccine in Indonesia, these vaccines were not progressed further.
A mathematical model was developed to describe the progression of the acute phase of Jembrana disease following experimental infection with JDV. The model divided the disease into 6 phases based on the rates of viral replication and clearance calculated from data on sequential plasma viral RNA load detected by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. This allowed statistical comparison of each phase of the disease and comparison of the severity of the disease process in groups of animals. The use of the model overcame the difficulty of comparing the disease in different animals as a consequence of the animal-to-animal variation in the disease process.
The mathematical model was used to identify differences in the pathogenicity of 2 strains of JDV. One strain, JDVTAB caused a more rapid onset of disease in non-vaccinated controls, a significantly higher virus load at the onset of the febrile period and a higher peak viraemia than in animals infected with JDVPUL. This provided the first evidence of variation in pathogenicity of JDV strains.
The measurement of virus load also demonstrated that some JDV infected animals developed a clinical disease that was not typical of that which had been reported previously. When infected with less than 1,000 infectious virus particles, up to 20% of infected animals failed to develop a febrile response. Infection of these animals was confirmed, however, by the detection of a high titre of circulating virus particles in plasma. These atypical infections had not been reported previously.
Application of the mathematical model describing the progression of the disease in individual animals was used to examine the effect of vaccination with the inactivated tissue-derived vaccine on the progression of the disease. Several effects were noted in vaccinated animals that were subsequently infected with JDV: a reduction in the duration of the febrile response, a reduction in the severity of the febrile response in the early phases of the acute disease, and a reduction in virus load in the early and later phases of the disease process.
The effect of vaccination with recombinant Tat, matrix (MA) and CA protein vaccines expressed in a bacterial expression system on subsequent JDV infection was also examined. A vaccine incorporating recombinant Tat and CA vaccine emulsified with Freunds incomplete adjuvant decreased the febrile response particularly in the later stages of the acute disease process, decreased the severity of the leucopenia in the later phases of the acute disease, and decreased the virus load in some but not all phases of the acute disease process. Vaccines administered with Freunds incomplete adjuvant were more efficacious than vaccines administered with QuilA, the latter actually exacerbating the disease process in vaccinated animals.

Full textAbstract:
The Web is a vast repository of data, and information on almost any subject can be found with the aid of search engines. Although the Web is international, the majority of research on finding of information has a focus on languages such as English and Chinese. In this thesis, we investigate information retrieval techniques for Indonesian. Although Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, little attention has been given to search of Indonesian documents. Stemming is the process of reducing morphological variants of a word to a common stem form. Previous research has shown that stemming is language-dependent. Although several stemming algorithms have been proposed for Indonesian, there is no consensus on which gives better performance. We empirically explore these algorithms, showing that even the best algorithm still has scope for improvement. We propose novel extensions to this algorithm and develop a new Indonesian stemmer, and show that these can improve stemming correctness by up to three percentage points; our approach makes less than one error in thirty-eight words. We propose a range of techniques to enhance the performance of Indonesian information retrieval. These techniques include: stopping; sub-word tokenisation; and identification of proper nouns; and modifications to existing similarity functions. Our experiments show that many of these techniques can increase retrieval performance, with the highest increase achieved when we use grams of size five to tokenise words. We also present an effective method for identifying the language of a document; this allows various information retrieval techniques to be applied selectively depending on the language of target documents. We also address the problem of automatic creation of parallel corpora --- collections of documents that are the direct translations of each other --- which are essential for cross-lingual information retrieval tasks. Well-curated parallel corpora are rare, and for many languages, such as Indonesian, do not exist at all. We describe algorithms that we have developed to automatically identify parallel documents for Indonesian and English. Unlike most current approaches, which consider only the context and structure of the documents, our approach is based on the document content itself. Our algorithms do not make any prior assumptions about the documents, and are based on the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm for global alignment of protein sequences. Our approach works well in identifying Indonesian-English parallel documents, especially when no translation is performed. It can increase the separation value, a measure to discriminate good matches of parallel documents from bad matches, by approximately ten percentage points. We also investigate the applicability of our identification algorithms for other languages that use the Latin alphabet. Our experiments show that, with minor modifications, our alignment methods are effective for English-French, English-German, and French-German corpora, especially when the documents are not translated. Our technique can increase the separation value for the European corpus by up to twenty-eight percentage points. Together, these results provide a substantial advance in understanding techniques that can be applied for effective Indonesian text retrieval.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] This thesis focuses on human rights in Australia’s foreign policy from 1991 to 2004 taking East Timor and Papua as case studies. It encompasses the Paul Keating years (1991 to 1996) as well as John Howard’s three consecutive terms as Prime Minister (from 1996 to 2004). As a consequence of events unfolding in this period of time, the thesis does not consider Australian foreign policy towards East Timor beyond the 1999 referendum that resulted in the separation of East Timor from Indonesia and focuses on Papua until 2004. The primary empirical aim of this thesis is to compare and contrast the two administrations’ approaches and responses to human rights abuses in East Timor and Papua. Drawing upon a variety of theoretical concepts in human rights and foreign policy, this thesis shows that incorporating a concern for human rights in the foreign policy making process is problematic because the promotion of human rights often comes into conflict with other foreign policy objectives . . . The two case studies on human rights abuses in East Timor and Papua reflect the tensions between concepts of realism and idealism in Australian foreign policy. However, the situation of East Timor shows that public pressure is required to balance the disparity of national interest and human rights. The role of public pressure has been largely absent in debates on human rights and foreign policy. While this study focuses on East Timor and Papua as case studies, the discussion of the findings has far reaching implications for Australian foreign policy and international relations, especially concerning the scholarly debate over the place of human rights in foreign policy.

Full textAbstract:
An imbricated Mesozoic to Palaeogene continental margin sequence is juxtaposed with ophiolitic rocks in the East Arm of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The two tectonic terranes are bounded by the Batui Thrust and Balantak Fault System, which are considered to be the surface expression of the collision zone between the Banggai-Sula Platform and the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt. The collision complex contains three distinctive sedimentary sequences : 1) Triassic-Palaeogene continental margin sediments, ii) Cretaceous pelagic sediments and iii) Neogene coarse clastic sediments and volcanogenic turbidites. (i) Late Triassic Lemo Beds consisting largely of carbonate-slope deposits and subsidiary clastics including quartz-rich lithic sandstones and lensoidal pebbly mudstone and conglomeratic breccia. The hemipelagic limestones are rich in micro-fossils. Some beds of the limestone contain bivalves and ammonites, including Misolia, which typifies the Triassic-Jurassic sequence of eastern Indonesia. The Jurassic Kapali Beds are dominated by quartzose arenites containing significant amounts of plant remains and lumps of coal. The Late Jurassic sediments consist of neritic carbonate deposits (Nambo Beds and Sinsidik Beds) containing ammonites and belemnites, including Belemnopsis uhligi Stevens, of Late Jurassic age. The Jurassic sediments are overlain unconformably by Late Cretaceous Luok Beds which are predominantly calcilutite with chert nodules rich in microfossils. The Luok Beds are unconformably overlain by the Palaeogene Salodik Limestones which consist of carbonate platform sediments rich in both benthic and planktonic foraminifera of Eocene to Early Miocene age. These sediments were deposited on the continental margin of the Banggai-Sula Platform. (ii) Deep-sea sediments (Boba Beds) consist largely of chert and subsidiary calcilutite rich in radiolaria of Cretaceous age. These rocks are part of an ophiolite suite. (iii) Coarse clastic sediments (Kolo Beds and Biak Conglomerates) are typical post-orogenic clastic rocks deposited on top of the collision complex. They are composed of material derived from both the continental margin sequence and ophiolite suite. Volcanogenic Lonsuit Turbidites occur in the northern part of the East Arm in Poh Head and unconformably overlie the ophiolite suite. Late Miocene to Pliocene planktonic foraminifera occur in the intercalated marlstone and marly sandstone beds within these rocks. The collision zone is marked by the occurrence of Kolokolo Melange, which contain exotic fragments detached from both the ophiolite suite and the continental margin sequence and a matrix of calcareous mudstone and marlstone rich in planktonic foraminifera of late Middle Miocene to Pliocene age. The melange is believed to have been formed during and after the collision of the Banggai-Sula Platform with the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt. Hence, the collision event took place in Middle Miocene time. The occurrence of at least three terraces of Quaternary coraline reefs on the south coast of the East Arm of Sulawesi testifies to the rapid uplift of the region. Seismic data suggest that the collision might still be in progress at the present time.

Full textAbstract:
A few ruling individuals from party organizations overpowered Indonesia’s post-authoritarian, representative democracy. The legislative process of the 2017 Election Act was the case study employed to examine this assumption. The underlying thinking was that there was a contest between “wealth power” (oligarchy) and “participation power” (democracy). The power of wealth controls the party and government institutions. Notwithstanding the presence of participation power, there was, however, no balance between wealth power and participation power, because the formal control of politics was in the hands of party oligarchs. The study purpose was to bridge the gap in knowledge by exploring how the party oligarchs maintained the policymaking, reputedly using cartelized strategies, to defend the status quo. By employing the oligarchy and cartelization theories, the central research question of this inquiry focused on how the party oligarchs, allegedly using cartel work-patterns, mastered the policy process in post-Suharto Indonesia. A qualitative case-study was used with in-depth interviews with 15 participants for data collection and the N-Vivo program for data analysis. Qualitative findings indicated that the party oligarchs engineered the legal process in parliament applying cartelized strategies to defend privileges they obtained from collusive interpenetration with the state. The implications for social change include informing members of parliament, other policymakers, and civil society groups of the cruciality of comprehending the modus operandi of oligarchic cartels. Understanding the “oligarchic cartelization” theoretical postulate is a fundamental step for party members to improve their performance in public offices. The results of this study can also be a useful reference for pro-democracy activists to defend the ontological essence of public participation in implementing representative democracy at an appropriate level.
