Full textAbstract:
This study generates a substantive theory of how Chinese Indonesian undergraduates adapt themselves in a Singapore private university. This thesis adopts an interpretivistic perspective and engages grounded theory research methodology. The principal source of information is a series of in-depth individual and focus group interviews with a group of 20 participants, supplemented by their diary accounts of their study activities over a week-long period. The first major outcome of this study is the generation of the theory of Selective Accommodation that describes how these international students apply various social-psychological strategies based on their perceptions of their sojourn in a foreign country and on their future intentions. Their accommodation distinctiveness, on the one hand, is a response to the perceived political persecution they face as minorities in their home country and to their acquired Indonesian culture. On the other hand, their accommodation strategies are also facilitated by Singapore’s vision of becoming a global educational hub. The result was the derivation of five accommodation categories of push factors, pull factors, pliability, study mechanisms and future direction. The second major outcome that arises from the grounded theory approach is the development of a typology of Chinese Indonesians based on how they react to the five categories during their three-year tertiary courses. This typology consists of four Ideal Types of accommodation, namely ambassadors, adherents, achievers and apathetics. In short, this study provides a fresh perspective on how foreign students adapt to life on foreign soil in their own unique ways. At the same time, it has implications for the development of theory, practice and educational research in cross border student migration.

A developing nation adds further complexity. This thesis contends that these micro organizational concerns link to critical macro economic, political, and cultural societal concerns for the development of more responsive ethical and sustainable management and governance. This thesis argues for an elevated notion of the role of communication management to enable business to pursue more sustainable goals, improve business performance, and address the issue of risk. The thesis reviews multidisciplinary literature to develop a multifaceted theoretical framework that links macro management issues to this micro contextual concern.This framework guides a qualitative research strategy to apply an ethnographic-oriented case study-based methodology to map the diverse worldviews of a sample of the Indonesian professional staff, their local senior expatriate management, and Headquarters. The case study assesses the impact of diverse worldviews on the interactions, relationships and performances involved in a specific project involving the international investment sector, a national proponent developer, the national regulatory agency, local and indigenous stakeholder communities and the consulting TNC. The findings have implications for the management of international business, the higher education sector and civil society organizations.

Pražić, Ivana. "The Politics of Cheng Ho‐Related Piety in Post‐New Order Indonesia Theologies of Emancipation." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/14792.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the nature of the emancipation of Chinese Indonesians after the fall of Suharto in 1998. In contrast to the dominant scholarship, which has approached this subject in secular terms, the thesis foregrounds the historical role of religion in the process of political recognition of Chinese Indonesians during this period. This approach is substantiated by an exploration of the sites of Cheng Ho-related piety and Islamic devotion found across the archipelago. The ethnographic research into the Chinese sacred sites and temples where the spirit of the Ming Dynasty admiral, Cheng Ho, is worshipped is presented first. This exploration goes beyond the traditional focus on Javanese sites and uncovers a hitherto unstudied group of Chinese shrines in West Kalimantan. The discussion of the history of the formalisation of polymorphous Cheng Ho-related worshipping modalities is then linked to the history of the Chinese religion in Indonesia and its de-legitimisation. One of the main findings of this thesis is that the struggle for the recognition of Confucian Religion as an Indonesian religion is inextricable from the wider struggle for Chinese Indonesian emancipation. The ethnographies of the mosques devoted to Cheng Ho and—formally or informally—managed by the largest Chinese Muslim organisation in Indonesia offer new insights into the history behind the foundation of these mosques. The erection of the mosques is usually seen to have resulted from the successful outcome of the struggle to acknowledge Chinese as Muslim Indonesians after 2000, but it was, in fact, pioneered by Yunus Yahya in the 1980s and 90s. In addition to tracing the struggle for emancipation, this thesis also investigates the nature of anti-Chinese sentiment in Indonesian history. It establishes an organic connection between Dutch-nurtured anti-Chinese affective dispositions and the Cold War Sinophobia of the Western bloc. In doing so, it provides an insight into the analytical complicity of the Western bloc geopolitics of anti-Communist Area Studies with anti-Confucian politics in Indonesia. The political effect of Sinophobia as an emotional regime is studied here through Critical Race and Queer theory perspectives. Scholarship critically addressing the secular constraints on the liberal model of democracy, such as Poststructuralist theory, offers a framework for assessing piety in political terms. With the findings presented in this thesis, the study of democratic modalities alternative to those offered by liberalism can be deployed in scholarship on Indonesia.

Saifulloh, Ahmad. "Indonesian Pesantren: Creating ‘Good’ Citizens for Indonesia’s Multicultural Society." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2021. https://hdl.handle.net/2123/27590.
Full textAbstract:
As an emerging democratic country, Indonesia faces notable challenges in building harmony and peace in its multicultural society. Many scholars have argued that educational institutions including pesantren can play a crucial role in addressing those challenges. More specifically pesantren citizenship education has the potential to create citizens who can address the potential challenges of multicultural societies. The primary aim of this study was to investigate conceptions of citizenship education; curriculum design for citizenship education; and the delivery of that curriculum in three types of Indonesian pesantren. While multiple case study and phenomenography were used as research design, Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) Ecological Systems Theory was employed as theoretical framework.
This study found that the conceptions of citizenship education were similar across pesantren. Distinct curriculum design for citizenship education was found in each pesantren, reflecting differences in attributes within the referential and structural aspects of the citizenship education conceptions across pesantren. However, each pesantren had a similar combination of formal, informal and hidden curricula. This model of curriculum was integrated into the pesantren’s environmental factors. Similar pedagogy was found in the delivery of the formal curriculum. Regarding the delivery of informal and hidden curriculum, the unique system of pesantren facilitated a more intricate curriculum implementation than is possible for other models of school.
One implication of this study is that religious citizenship education could be considered an alternative for Indonesia in addressing the challenges of a multicultural society. Also, educational institutions aiming to employ a comprehensive approach to their citizenship education might consider an ecological model of pesantren-based citizenship education as a reference.

Winarnita, Monika Swasti. "Dancing the feminine : performances by indonesian migrant women." Phd thesis, Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/155797.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based on ethnographic fieldwork of practicing and performing dances with Indonesian migrant women dancers in Perth, Western Australia and socializing with the women and the communities they belong to. The fieldwork was conducted in 2007 with subsequent annual return trips until 2011, as well as through continued engagement by other forms of communication. This thesis follows the women's journeys and their efforts, firstly to gain recognition as professional cultural performers rather than being seen only as members of an amateur, housewife hobby dance group and secondly to elevate their status beyond that of marriage migrant, specifically within the local Indonesian community. Each chapter is based on particular performances and how each performance evolved from creation to reinvention taking into account factors such as community feedback, and reaction to the group's participation in local multicultural festivals and national celebration days. The thesis discusses how the women negotiate cross-cultural gender structuring discourses and valued ideals of femininity through their performances. Their performances are influenced by transnational and translocal (Jakarta or Bali and Perth) engagements gained through: cultural products; their daily lives amongst the Indonesian migrant community in Perth; their annual return trips to Indonesia; and being involved in the local Indonesian consulate's cultural diplomacy activities. Therefore, within the discipline of anthropology and gender studies this research will contribute to the literature on migration studies, specifically marriage migration of women, migrant's cultural performances, and Indonesian migrants in Australia. The thesis also includes a DVD of two and a half hours which records my edited ethnographic footage, as well as footage given to me by the dancers and their family members. The DVD documents the stories and performances that are related in the thesis. Via a menu, the DVD is organized so that relevant sections can be viewed in conjunction with reading specific chapters within the thesis. Each performance, through the trajectory of its creation and reinvention, tells the narrative of how the Indonesian migrant women try to negotiate representations of themselves and how they deal with the many and varied expectations of their own migrant community, the Indonesian consulate and the larger multicultural Australian audiences as well as the various ideals of Indonesian femininity in migration.

Giblin, Susan Mary. "Being Chinese and Indonesian : Chinese organisations in post-Suharto Indonesia." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2003. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/653/.
Full textAbstract:
In 1998 Indonesia was on the verge of huge political changes. The economy was in crisis and President Suharto's thirty-two year New Order government was coming to an end. Violence, largely directed against the ethnic Chinese in a number of cities on the archipelago, accompanied the political and economic crises. The changes which unfolded led to peaceful elections in 1999, which were judged by international observers to be fair and democratic. These elections placed a new administration in power and with it the hopes of the people that reformasi (reform) would ensue. Immediately after Suharto stepped down things began to change for the ethnic Chinese who had never been fully accepted as Indonesian within Indonesian national discourses. Indeed the presence of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia was constructed as a problem; the "Chinese problem" (inasalah Cina). During the New Order, policy towards Chinese Indonesians was particularly harsh. They were not permitted to celebrate any aspect of their Chinese heritage and official policy dictated that they should assimilate into Indonesian society. This changed after 1998 and the debate about how Chinese Indonesians should behave, and how they should be treated, emerged once again. This thesis investigates a number of Chinese Indonesian organisations which were established or re-established after May 1998. I am particularly interested in how they are articulating both their Chinese and their Indonesian identities in this new climate. I argue that as a result of Indonesian national discourses which construct Chinese Indonesians as "outsiders", it may not be possible for the groups to achieve their joint aims of overcoming anti-Chinese stereotypes and having their Chinese heritage accepted within Indonesia. During the New Order years many ethnic Chinese were reluctant to declare themselves Chinese publicly, or speak about their experiences, which has led to a dearth of empirical material relating to how Chinese Indonesians themselves understand their identities. Therefore, this research is a particularly useful addition to the study of the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the historical development of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Indonesia. Existing literature in the field is influenced by experiences in Western liberal democracies, where pressure from internal stakeholders leads to what is called a “bottom-up” approach; pressure that leads firms engaging in CSR for voluntary rather than mandated reasons. However, this research found that the adoption of CSR in Indonesia did not follow this Western trajectory. Instead, CSR developed from a “top-down” approach where the Indonesian Government acted as the key driver of change. Reflecting this, the enactment of the Company Act 2007 made Indonesia the first country in the world to explicitly require every company to undertake CSR activities. In exploring this unusual policy outcome, this research sought answers to the following research question:
Do theories about CSR that stem from Western democratic societies, which typically depict the drivers of CSR activity coming from below – with the company then voluntarily devising their own strategic CSR response – apply in developing societies?
In exploring answers to this question, this thesis adopts a historical approach, considering the changing role of the Indonesian government since 1945 with particular attention paid to the so-called New Order era (1965-98) and the Reformation era (1998-2015). This case study answers the questions utilising legitimacy theory, institutional theory, and stakeholder theory through analysis of relevant regulations, official statistics, document analysis interviews with key stakeholders, and analysis of company Annual Reports. This research found that at first, the Indonesian government initiated CSR activities through the policies pursued by State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) that have occupied a disproportionately important role in the Indonesia economy. Under the New Order era, CSR policies were mainly directed towards improving economic and social outcomes in agriculture, where Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) were the norm. As part of their activities, all SOEs were legally required to assist SMEs. The Indonesian government, both directly and indirectly, through the SOEs, was also the driver behind the extension of CSR to the local levels through measures directed towards the formation and operation of farm-based cooperatives. Under the Reformation era, however, the focus shifted to a legislative mandate. Since the issuance of Law No. 20/2008, all SOEs are required to perform social activities in accordance with the Partnership and Community Development Program or “Program Kemitraan dan Bina Lingkungan” (PKBL). As the Program’s title suggests, PKBL involves SOEs entering into “partnerships” with mostly small enterprises (mainly micro-enterprises). Since 2007, with the issuance of the Company Act, the Indonesian government has also required privately-owned firms to engage in CSR. As stated in the Indonesian Financial Accounting Standard (PSAK), all companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) must disclose their CSR activities in their Annual Reports. However, in examining the companies’ Annual Reports, this thesis found that only 401 of the 530 listed companies actually disclosed CSR activities in their Reports. Moreover, this research found that 90 percent of companies undertaking CSR activities were actually engaged in what can best considered as philanthropic forms of community development that are unlikely to have any transformative effect. Accordingly, this thesis concludes that although the Indonesian government has acted as the primary driver of CSR within the country, the benefits that are accruing at this stage are sub-optimal.
This thesis found that whereas research performed in Western democratic societies has focused on the influence of salient stakeholder in CSR activities, in Indonesia the power of stakeholder may not influence the company if the company has political connections that can mitigate this stakeholder power. Less powerful stakeholders may become beneficial to the company if a stakeholder can align itself with the company’s interest, such as building their reputation or gaining local acceptance.
The findings of this study contribute significantly to the extant research base on the development of CSR in Indonesia. An understanding of the Indonesian government’s social responsibility role helps fill the comparative void in the CSR historical literature dealing with developing societies.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
How democratisation affects a state's foreign policy is a relatively neglected problem in International Relations. In Indonesia's case, there is a limited, but growing, body of literature examining the country's foreign policy in the post-authoritarian context. Yet this scholarship has tended to focus on the role of Indonesia's legislature and civil society organisations as newly-empowered foreign policy actors. Scholars of Southeast Asian politics, meanwhile, have concentrated on the effects of Indonesia's democratisation on regional integration and, in particular, on ASEAN cohesion and its traditional sovereignty-based norms. For the most part, the literature has completely ignored the effects of democratisation on Indonesia's foreign ministry – the principal institutional actor responsible for foreign policy formulation and conduct of Indonesia's diplomacy. Moreover, the effect of Indonesia's democratic transition on key bilateral relationships has received sparse treatment in the literature. This thesis aims to fill the gap in the literature by analysing the impact of democratisation on Indonesia's foreign ministry, and on Indonesia's approach to key bilateral and multilateral relationships in the Asia-Pacific – China, ASEAN and Australia respectively. This thesis argues that the domestic context in which Indonesia's foreign policy is framed has been transformed since reformasi. A conscious attempt has been made by policy-makers to internalise democratic values, such as good governance and human rights, into the ideational basis of Indonesia's foreign policy.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to determine whether Indonesian business practices and culture inhibit the competitiveness of Australian small to medium enterprises in Indonesia. Prior to the current economic demise of the Indonesian economy, Australia's trade relations with its closest Asian neighbour were not as significant as trade with countries far removed from Australia's shores. Previous research has identified that cultural problems and inadequate communication contribute towards the lack of competitiveness of international small to medium enterprises.However there has been no rigorous and comprehensive research specially related to Australian entrepreneurs and the problems they encounter in Indonesia.Several key themes emerged from this study which indicated that thorough planning and market research are more important than a comprehensive understanding of business practices and culture. What the research brings to extant literature is a rigorous and methodological analysis of Indonesian business practices from an Australian entrepreneur's perspective. This provides a structured link between the parent disciple of cross cultural communications, the plethora of information on Asian business practices, and the reality of Australian small to medium enterprises attempting to enter the Indonesian marketDoctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the response of the traditionalist Muslim groups of Minangkabau, Indonesia, to the modernist movement of the early decades of this century. In their effort to lay the foundations of a rational and progressive Muslim society and rediscovery the true ethics of Islam, the modernists had called for fresh ijtihad. The traditionalists rejected the possibility, or necessity, of new ijtihad and insisted that Islam had been perfectly articulated in the authoritative works of the scholars, especially those of the four schools of law, and that every Muslim must simply adhere to them. The traditionalists argued that the methods of the modernists' not only endangered the authority of the four schools, they threatened to undermine the age-old notion of a harmonious balance between Islam and adat, the two ideological foundations of Minangkabau society. To the traditionalists, therefore, the struggle against the modernists was at once a defense of the classical schools of law and of the harmony of Islam and adat in Minangkabau.

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:
Entrepreneurship has been suggested as an ideal means to stimulate host community participation in tourism development, particularly in developing countries (Hampton, 2005; Tosun, 2006). The growing literature on entrepreneurship and tourism includes relatively few studies that empirically explore and identify the entrepreneurial process in tourism. While stimulating the emergence of indigenous tourism entrepreneurs requires an understanding of the entrepreneurial process, the entrepreneurial process in tourism remains unclear, due to the lack of research on the phenomenon (Koh, 2006). The current study, therefore, sought to provide insights into entrepreneurial process in the tourism industry, the context in which the process occurs, and the entrepreneurial strategies that support the process, especially from an indigenous entrepreneur’s perspective. The study was conducted in five tourist destinations on Lombok Island, Indonesia. Twenty-eight host community members, twenty-one owner-managers of small tourism enterprises and seven other tourism stakeholders, were selected as research participants, and were engaged in the crystallisation process throughout the study. Observation was made in the twenty-one enterprises.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the representation of women in two women’s magazines in Indonesia. It compares and contrasts the representation of women under the New Order Regime (1966-1998) and the Reformasi (reformation) period (1998-1999) through an analysis of the content of Kartini and Femina, between 1992 and 1998. It seeks to understand how changes in the representation of women are specifically related to the social, economic, and political changes in Indonesia. Moreover, by analysing the cultural production of a particular popular media [women’s magazines], this study examines the explicit characteristics of Indonesian women that have been identified as “modern” in the transformation era of Indonesia.

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:
This study presents an analysis of research articles (RAs) written in English (Eng) and Bahasa Indonesia (BI) by 6 Indonesian scholar writers, each contributing 5 RAs in Eng and 5 RAs in BI. The rhetorical features of these 60 pre-published RAs which represent 6 different disciplines (Ecology, Cultural Studies, Applied Linguistics, Economics, Medicine, and Literature) were examined to reveal metadiscursive interaction using the interpersonal metadiscourse (IMD) taxonomy of Crismore et al. (1993) and self-mentions adapting Hyland's (2002c) and Harwood's (2005) models to find out: if writers differ in their deployment of interpersonal metadiscourse and self-mentions across BI and Eng; if differences of education, disciplines and publication experiences influence authors' deployment ) of these elements in the writing of RAs in BI and Eng; and if their understanding I of discourse community and interaction effect their strategies in the writing of RAs in BI and Eng. Using mixed techniques of quantitative and qualitative analysis, the results show that metadiscursive interaction in Eng RAs is significantly different from that of BI RAs with varying patterns across disciplines under study. As regards self-mentions, despite variations in the patterns and frequency of use, the eo-text analyses indicate similar discourse functions in that writers project themselves into their discourse to signal their attempt to engage in the unfolding texts and involve the readers into the propositional content of the texts. The findings indicate high levels of contextualisation in writers' efforts to interact with readers and these appear to place high regard on the values embedded in disciplinary culture which reaffirm a previous finding by Hyland (2004), typifying the dynamic nature and fluidity of the genre of an RA, besides also showing each individual's writing style. Combined together, IMD and self-mentions revealed that metadiscursive interaction is a matter of degree of intensity and explicitness, as a result of the inherent disciplinary culture that has sanctioned each discourse community's members.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze civil-military relations in Indonesia since independence in 1949 through the resignation of President Suharto in mid 1998. It will examine the military's exercise of power by using the prerogatives and contestations as defined by Alfred Stepan. The Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) has been deeply involved in socio- political roles since the struggle for independence against the Dutch. Most scholars consider the New Order regime (1966-1998) to have been one dominated by the TNI Suharto resigned in May 21, 1998 and brought an abrupt end to Indonesia's 32-year-old New Order regime and started the process of redrawing the country's political map. The TNI as the most powerful political institution has started to decline. A number of the civilian reformist leaders campaigned for the military to return to the barracks immediately and relinquish its political responsibilities. This thesis will argue that the level of the military's socio-political participation has declined in recent years. Therefore, the TNI should define new options of its socio-political role in order to fit the harmonious relationship with the Indonesian society in the future.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I examine the issues of sex education in Western and Javanese society using a conceptual-comparative approach. My main goal is to highlight the importance of sex education for young people in Javanese society. Research foci and discoveries include: how the notions of conservatism with regards to sexuality are rooted in Javanese culture and social values; the definitions, history, components, methods and principles of Western sex education (particularly Canadian); the measures of success for sex education programs in the West; and to what extent Western sex education can be applied to Javanese society. In the final chapter I offer recommendations for Javanese educational authorities on the need to create a new terminology of sex education.

Full textAbstract:
This Thesis deals with the cultural encounter between Islam and Javanese culture as represented by the slametan ritual. The major purposes of this thesis are threefold; (1) to give a brief account of the historical backdrop of the encounter between Islam and the Javanese tradition; (2) to discuss the ongoing dispute among scholars over whether the slametan is animistic, syncretistic or Islamic; and (3) to provide a new perspective on the slametan ritual based upon textual (religious) and contextual (socio-cultural) analysis.The hypothesis underlying this work is that the slametan is a prototype of syncretistic ritual, the representative of Islamic elements---as its core---on the one hand, and local traditions---as its periphery---on the other. This work will argue against the theory of the slametan developed both by Geertz and Woodward. The first scholar sees the slametan from a socio-cultural perspective only, while the latter views it on an Islamic theological basis. The current writer argues that one should employ a holistic perspective to see the slametan comprehensively; both from "inside" (religious perspective) and "outside" (cultural perspective).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about the visual communication of the national family planning program in Indonesia from 1986 to 2003, which covers three periods: later New Order from 1986 to 1997, Transition in 1998 and early Reformation from 1999 to 2003. This study applies visual social semiotics to the visual images of promotional advertisements from eight campaigns during those 17 years. The study shows that culture is pervasive in these images and that the visual social semiotics framework could only be applied to some extent for reading images of non-Western culture. Visual social semiotics as a methodology provides an accounting framework and is a starting point for interpreting meaning from visual images. From reading the images, there are two themes that play significant roles in understanding the family planning program: nationalism and, family and women. These two themes are deployed in different measure for each period of time to constantly re-define family planning in an engaging and optimal way. However, the technique of visualisation remained the same during the three periods. The practices of looking facilitated by the visual images published for the family planning program positions viewers as Indonesian citizens with a certain morality which generates a general positive attitude about the program. The thesis provides a detailed reading of numerous images from the family planning program; drawing not only on the representation, interaction and composition created by the images but also from analysis of international and state policy on family planning and also the translation of policy into cultural messages.

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:
This research aims to produce an E-learning instructional model for vocational schools (VS) in Indonesia by implementing a system of E-learning instructional design that allows teachers to develop and teach their own e-learning lessons. This study reports a design-based research and development activity which was performed over three years, 2012-2014. In the first year, assessment and development of criteria for E-learning & instructional design in VS and its indicators were performed. The second year was used to develop a guide book of E-learning instructional design in VSs, based on the results of the first year of the study when a focus group discussion (FGD) was held to discuss, test, and revise the draft guidebook. In the third year the dissemination of E-learning instructional design was executed, involving 22 teachers from around Yogyakarta Province. Quantitative analysis of the E-learning instructional model in VS led to different values of adoption for the specific components, such as guidebooks, learning modules, and DVD based training. The final results showed that the model of E-learning instruction in VS is suitable to support and motivate the teachers in dissemination and for developing their teaching material by using the E-learning instructional model guidebook.

Full textAbstract:
Studies on the development of the accountancy profession in the ex-colony countries have recently adopted theoretical and methodological frameworks that linked such development with the socio-historical context of these countries as former colonies or dependants of the more developed countries. More specifically, they associate the emergence and development of the accountancy profession in these countries with the historical and contemporary global expansion of capitalism. However, there is still a need for further research. First, how global expansion of capitalism penetrates is different across different country settings. Hence, this process would be best understood by incorporating the socio-political, economic and historical specificity of the given country. Second, previous studies emphasize the internal dialectic contradictions of capitalism in analysing the changes and dynamics of the profession in ex-colony countries. Recent literature, however, has introduced methodologies that recognize the need to acknowledge the existence of any rivalling structures as possible external sources of the dialectic progress of capitalist expansion. In regard to this, the socio-political and historical context of Indonesia may offer a case of how the interactions between global expansion of capitalism and existing rivalling structures may shape the development of the accountancy profession. The need for further research is amplified by the fact that previous studies on the Indonesian accountancy profession have generally ignored the influence of these wider socio-political factors. The primary aim of this study is thus to investigate how the accountancy profession has emerged and developed in Indonesia over the last five decades. To achieve its objectives, this research draws insights from the tradition of the globalization theory as a critique to global expansion of capitalism and Robert Cox historical structure methodology. The central argument of this thesis is that the development of the Indonesian accountancy profession followed the changes in the country's system of political economy, which in turn has been heavily influenced by the relationship between ex-colony countries with their former colonizers within the context of the capitalistic world order. In other words, this study accepts the contention that the spread of the Western-style accountancy profession across the globe, including Indonesia, was the consequence of global expansion of capitalism. However, the working and the extent of such influence is also shaped by alternative social structure(s) existing at the global level and/or emanating from the complexities of the Indonesian historical and societal context. To substantiate this argument, the study uses document analysis to understand the development of the Indonesian accountancy profession during the three main periods in its history. In the first period (1954-1966), the analysis shows that the Westernization of the accounting profession was compromised by Indonesian nationalism, ideological division amongst the Indonesian leaders and the Cold War. In the second period (1967-1997), the process was compromised by the oligarchic capitalism of the New Order political regime. The Westernization of the profession could only reach full speed after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, which has undermined the politico-business coalitions under the New Order that had prevented Indonesia from fully integrating into the global capitalist economic order.
