| Awani Irewati | MYANMAR DAN MATINYA PENEGAKAN DEMOKRASI | Democratization in Myanmar is the most prevalent issue for international society. The world takes the issue because the country has been for decades under authoritarian regime since military junta takeover the government via coup d’etat . Since 1990 general election which had been won by National League for Democracy (NLD), the Military Junta (Tatmadaw) still ruled the country as a sole authoritarian regime. Transition to democracy which been pledged by the junta has not shown any positive outcome. The paper is sought to answer two questions base on the actual political circumstance in Myanmar: how is the progress of democratic and human rights enforcement that has been pushed by pro-democratic people in Myanmar? The second question will bring our attention to the power of the prolonged military junta in Myanmar. Even though Myanmar has been under economic sanction and isolated from international society, there is no evidence that the military junta will come to an end. Based on literature study as the main source of data collecting approach, this paper brings forward two conclusions. Those two conclusions emerge from the existing internal and external political condition of Myanmar. Internal political condition shown that ethnical diversity in Myanmar is main obstacle for establishing oppositional coalition against the military junta. Ethnic in Myanmar is separated in factionalized movement against the ruling authoritarian regime since colonial era. It is still complicated until recent time to build a coalition from pro-democratic movement in Myanmar. The second conclusion is coming from the international society in putting more pressure towards the ruling regime. It is good for the UN and the international society not just isolating and sanctioning Myanmar but also approaching Myanmar using the influence of the third country. China is good to become a promoter political reformation in Myanmar since China is the only country that still maintains a close relation with Myanmar. This approach is to give more emphasis for Myanmar government to comply with its own pledge toward democratic transition in its own country. |
| RR. Emilia Yustiningrum | MASALAH SENJATA NUKLIR DAN MASA DEPAN PERDAMAIAN DUNIA | North Korean nuclear arms test has shocked international community for the coming up of a new nuclear state. Despite the United Nations sanction on nuclear arms test, North Korea tried to prove herself against United States political domination on regulating the world nuclear arms. However, the test has raised the fear on misuse of nuclear arms particularly among the states in the East Asia region. As the result, six countries (United States, Russia, Japan, China, South Korea, and North Korea) had the idea to sit together on the negotiation table to solve the North Korean nuclear arms named six party talks. Unfortunately, each of the six party talk’s member has different political interest in solving the problem. This situation gave comfortable space for North Korea to develop their nuclear arms and lived the international community in fear of the spread of nuclear arms all over the world. |
| Johny Lumolos | SIKAP PEMILIH TERHADAP PASANGAN CALON KEPALA DAERAH MENJELANG PILKADA LANGSUNG DI KOTA BITUNG | The purpose of General Election including in Local Government (Pemerintah Daerah) is to create a democratic government based on the principle of the people, by the people and for the people. In so doing, the process of General Election must be colored by transparency and accountability principle. In line with this notion, this research portray empirical condition surrounding Local Government General Election (Pemlihan Kepala Daerah) in Bitung Municipality in year 2004. As an explorative study, this research utilizes survey technique to draw respondents opinion which will be presented in a descriptive analysis method. This research aims to analyze attitudes of the voters in determining their preferences, the reason of their decision, and the influence of money politics on the voters decision. This research confirms that most of the voters choose the candidates based on three main reasons as: they know the candidates very well, they believe in the candidates personal character (figur) and they have an ideological bond with the candidate. However, the effect of ideology is only apparent among PDI-P voters as they consistently choose candidates from PDI-P, while others voters are likely to choose the candidates based on the figur. On the contrary with the common perception about effect of money politics, this research indicates that in this case, money politics is less effective in influencing the voters decision to choose the candidates. |

| Kurniawati Hastuti Dewi | DEMOKRATISASI DAN DEKONSTRUKSI IDEOLOGI GENDER ORDE BARU | The collapse of the New Order since May 1998 has opened the door for democratization. In turn, democratization and influence of the international for a on women have facilitated the improvement of Indonesia womens role and position in the public sphere. This improvement is highlighted by the deconstruction of the New Order gender ideology state ibuism as can be seen from the spread of the discourse of womens role in the public sphere and the changing orientation of the government program from practical gender interest in the new order to strategic gender interest in the reform Era. Howefer, the conceptual and structural improvements face difficulty. This is because grass root society keeps negative stereotype on women. This fact indicates that the efforts to raise womens role and position in the public sphere, is not only needed conceptual and structural reform but also cultural reform of grass root societys perception on women. |
| Heru Cahyono | NEGARA DAN MASYARAKAT DALAM RESOLUSI KONFLIK DI INDONESIA (DAERAH KONFLIK KALIMANTAN BARAT DAN KALIMANTAN TENGAH) | An explosion of ethnic conflicts in West Kalimantan (1999) and Central Kalimantan (2001) shook the entire area. Media reports of widespread violence, often including beheadings, cannibalism, and “ethnic cleansing”. In both case, a single ethnic group —migrants from the island of Madura — was targeted and accounted for the overwhelming majority of victims. State have a little role to push conflict resolution. Jakarta’s tardy response read clearly in both cases, especially in Central Kalimantan. We very shockly how can violence killed hundreds of people. The state’s response to mass murders killed has been too little and too late. National intervention is usually required. But because the state lacks an national rapid response force, and because state has so far been either paralyzed or unwilling to act, mass killing has gone unchecked. The Madurese in West and Central Kalimantan were particularly hard hit by these conflicts. Most had to abandon their homes and livelihoods and seek shelter in safe areas in the Kalimantan or farther away in Madura. Recently, most internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the 2001 Central Kalimantan conflict have begun returning, however IDPs from the West Kalimantan district of Sambas who fled during the 1999 conflict have been barred from returning to their homes. Locals and returnees note an increased on physical intimidation, an unwelcome situation, and a general sense of insecurity. Although years have passed since the conflicts erupted, resolution is still elusive for many people. The peace process in Sambas, West Kalimantan, still stagnant and should be re-launched to enable the return of IDPs. |
| Afadlal | PROBLEMATIKA MINORITAS MUSLIM DI KANADA DAN PRANCIS | In this summary, the research on the problem of Moslem minority in Canada and France is to describe how Moslem as minority in western country affected by state and social bias after 9/11 Tragedy. Interaction between Moslem as minority and immigrant community and white people community in western country has long been biased with prejudice and intolerance. This research is to describe how differences between those two communities have brought about an indecisive integration, restrained cultural assimilation. Bringing the gap between two different communities has become the major concern but the result is a long way to come. The main problem of integration Moslem community in western country is strong alienation of Islamic value by white people in western community. For Moslem community in Canada and France, there is also a growing inclination toward divergence in coping with western culture. For western community, the causes are strong ethnocentrisms and nativity of white people that come from a feeling of cultural supremacies. Those factors have constrained new social formation in western community. |
