25.01.2022 How is Indonesia preparing for the longer-term implications of Covid-19? In the December edition, Robert Sparrow, Teguh Dartanto and Renate Hartwig argue that t...he government has so far focused on short-term recovery, with no clear strategy to prepare for the ‘new normal’. The researchersfrom Wageningen University & Research, Universitas Indonesia and the University of Göttingenlook closely at the longer-term implications of the Covid-19 crisis for two crucial public sectors, health and education, and some challenges these will face under a continued Covid-19 presence. https://doi.org/10.1080/00074918.2020.1854079 See more

24.01.2022 Read the latest on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). "Once RCEP takes effect, Indonesia should continue its support for multilateral trade reform. Together with the other members, Indonesia should ensure that RCEP serves as a way to keep the global trading system open. Domestically, the Indonesian government should also use this as momentum to resist calls for protectionism." Arianto Patunru and Ira Aprilianti wrote for the East Asia Forum.... https://www.eastasiaforum.org//indonesia-signed-rcep-what/

23.01.2022 ANU Indonesia Project Global Seminar Series Covid-19 and rural livelihoods in Indonesia: assessing the consequences of Covid-19 for food security Speakers: John McCarthy (ANU), Yunita Winarto (Universitas Indonesia), and Pande Made Kutanegara (Universitas Gadjah Mada)... ANU Indonesia Project will be holding a webinar on Wednesday 19 August, 1-2.30pm AEST (10-11.30 WIB). This paper discusses the emerging impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security and rural livelihoods in Indonesia. It is based on a rapid assessment commissioned by the Australian Centre for Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and undertaken during May and June. The paper uses online interviews, a social media survey, and a review of available documents and draws on recent food security and stunting data. The assessment focussed on five contexts: rice and vegetable production in Java; fisheries; estate crops in Sumatra and Kalimantan; dryland agriculture in East Nusa Tenggara; and Papuan provinces. First, the paper analyses the profound, variable, and highly dynamic impacts that the pandemic is having on rural livelihoods. As the crisis has revealed vulnerabilities in Indonesia’s complex food systems, second, the paper discusses the opportunity the crisis represents for designing research and policy strategies to address critical problems. The webinar is free and open to the public.

21.01.2022 "Indonesian democracy is in regression, but it can be diverted into progression if a two-pronged attack is targeted at (a) democratic regression from above, and (b) democratic regression from below."

19.01.2022 Lower future incomes due to Covid-19 may reduce life expectancy in Indonesia by almost two years, researchers from the University of Waikato have found. In the December edition, John Gibson and Susan Olivia find that indirect effects on life expectancy, which operate through lower future incomes, exceed the direct effects of Covid-19-related deaths by at least five orders of magnitude. https://www.tandfonline.com/.../10.../00074918.2020.1847244

19.01.2022 "We learnt the economy isn’t about profit margins and sales data. The economy is about people. In a COVID-free space, people return to shops and cafes and they explore their own backyard."

She spoke at the ANU Indonesia Project Global Seminar on vulnerable people in June. https://www.theage.com.au//advice-to-melbourne-from-someon

17.01.2022 "If Indonesian disappears from Australia’s education landscape, we won’t only lose an opportunity to develop the Indonesia expertise we need to navigate the Asian century. Indonesians will also notice. Over decades visiting Indonesia, I’ve often been struck by how delighted both ordinary and elite Indonesians are when they realise I learned their language in Australia. Indonesians often encounter foreigners who pick up Indonesian in country; they rarely meet any who learned i...t at home. Teaching Indonesian sends a signal that Australia views our massive northern neighbour as a country deserving our respect. It is a way to demonstrate that Australia is special to Indonesia, rather than being just one more country lining up to benefit from Indonesia’s growth." Professor Edward Aspinall of ANU wrote about the importance of keeping the Indonesian language studies for bilateral relationships between Australia and Indonesia. https://insidestory.org.au/turning-away-from-indonesia/

17.01.2022 In 2018-2019, Dr Zainal Abidin Bagir (Universitas Gadjah Mada) and Dr. Simon Butt (The University of Sydney) received the ANU Indonesia Project - The SMERU Research Institute. Their research topic was on citizenship, indigenous religions and conservative Islam: the KTP case and its effects. One of the outcomes from this research is a paper, just recently published, by Dr Simon Butt. Abstract and link to the article below.... Constitutionally, Indonesia is a state based on Almighty God, but the Constitution does not specify any religions or belief systems. This is left to statute, which establishes six official religions that the state supports and helps administer: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. But Indonesia is home to a rich kaleidoscope of other beliefs (kepercayaan), ranging from indigenous practices predating the arrival of many of the official religions to new age spiritual movements. The constitutional status of these beliefs is contentious, and their followers have long complained of government discrimination, primarily in matters of civil registration services, education, and employment. This reinforces the view, propounded by some adherents to official religions, that beliefs are inferior to official religions. This view, in turn, perpetuates the socioeconomic and cultural marginalization of belief-holders. In 2017, Indonesia's Constitutional Court was asked to examine the constitutional status of these beliefs. Its decision appears to constitutionally recognize these beliefs; accordingly, it has been heralded as an advance for religious freedom in Indonesia. Indeed, it has spurred limited administrative reforms to remove discrimination in several parts of Indonesia. But the Court's decision is muddled and inconsistent. It does not clearly establish that beliefs enjoy the same level of constitutional protection as do religionsif they are, in fact, constitutionally protected at all. The likely result is continuing faith-based discrimination and marginalization in Indonesia. https://www.cambridge.org//87522DE3CC0EB51F4F505A81C4C35E4D

Together with Prospera, ANU Indonesia Project will be holding a special webinar next week, Wednesday 12 August, 1-2.30pm AEST (10-11.30WIB) The coronavirus pandemic is creating a health and economic crisis of unprecedented proportions all over the world. While the virus has respected no borders, it has exposed deeply rooted inequalities, including in Indonesia. The government is well aware of the social and economic challenges and has announced massive additional state spending. The webinar will shed light on gender dimensions in the fight against Covid-19 in Indonesia and the path to inclusive economic recovery. The seminar will analyse the situation for specific groups, particularly female health and social workers; households headed by women; women workers in the sectors hardest hit by the pandemic; and women running micro-businesses. The seminar will reflect on policy measures that hold the most promise, and what more may be needed as Indonesia transitions into ‘the new normal’. This webinar will also bring together gender specialists from other DFAT funded programs and universities to comment and stimulate discussion among members of the audience. As always, our webinar is free and open to the public.

Registration required via bitly.com/2020booklaunch The book is the first comprehensive study of Indonesia’s contemporary democratic decline. Its contributors identify, explain and debate the signs of regression, including arbitrary state crackdowns on freedom of speech and organization, the rise of vigilantism, deepening political polarization, populist mobilization..., the dysfunction of key democratic institutions, and the erosion of checks and balances on executive power.
