Indonesia Proposal, 2005. This paper discusses issues related to the economy in Indonesia. 1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, £ 31.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The following discussion evaluates the issues that are critical to the economy of Indonesia, which has thrived and suffered in recent years due to a variety of circumstances. The writer maintains that it is necessary to consider that Indonesia has grown tremendously as a country from these experiences, and that the country will continue to experience growth in the coming years.
From the Paper "Indonesia possesses considerable opportunities in the advancement of economic objectives in the coming years. Indonesian businesses must identify opportunities for growth and must develop strategies accordingly that will facilitate the successful completion of these requirements. Based upon prior research regarding Indonesia and its current economic state, there is a strong necessity to capitalize upon existing priorities in order to promote economic and business expansion within this market. Indonesia possesses a strong economic infrastructure that will likely benefit from any expansion efforts that the country's businesses elect to participate in, and this will reflect positively on the nation's economic development processes."

U.S.-Indonesia Foreign Relations, 2004. The impacts of U.S. foreign policy in Indonesia during the Cold War era and Indonesia's role and importance. 2,300 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 9 sources, APA, £ 49.95 »

Abstract The paper offers arguments on the importance of the U.S.-Indonesia relations during the Cold War era. The main point that this paper reflects is how the potential spread of Communism in Indonesia paved the way for the infiltration of U.S. foreign policy into Indonesia's domestic and foreign affairs. U.S. interest in Indonesia focused mainly on the country's abundance of natural resources and location, and the U.S. attempted to dissuade Indonesia from falling into Communist hands.
From the Paper ?With Sukarno spearheading the quest for Indonesia Merdeka, Indonesian demands for independence grew dramatically, prompting the colonial government to withdraw from its Ethical Policy commitments by the late 1920s. Fearing potential surges of nationalist movements, the leaders of PNI were arrested and later tried. Among others, Sukarno was arrested in December 1929 and put on trial for sedition in 1930, after which he was found guilty and sentenced to four years in prison. The imprisonment of the party leaders led to the dissolution of the PNI in April 1931. The split was thought to have been triggered by disparities in approaches to the nationalist movement, each with ethnic overtones. Furthermore, fueled by their intolerance of radical nationalist movements, the Dutch government formally banned a new stream of nationalist movement in the form of Partindo (Indonesian Party), which replaced the PNI as the new dominant force in nationalist movement."

From the Paper "In recent years, Indonesia has liberalized its trade regime and taken a number of important steps to reduce protection. Since 1996, the Indonesian Government has issued deregulation packages that have reduced overall tariff levels, simplified the tariff structure, removed restrictions, replaced non-tariff barriers with more transparent tariffs, and encouraged foreign and domestic private investment. The GOI issued a deregulation package in July 1997, which introduced additional tariff reductions."

Indonesia ? Anthropology and Ethnography, 2002. A paper which examines the reasons why Indonesia seems to lure anthropologists and ethnographers, and what it is that appeals to their imagination. 1,005 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 24.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The paper shows that though it is impossible to determine why exactly Indonesia, at least for the past two generations, has seemingly laid an irresistible spell on the anthropological world, it is possible to suggest some of the reasons. This paper examines the corner of the state of anthropological practice and theory as they pertain to Indonesia and how these have created intimate links between symbolic anthropology and Indonesian ethnography. The paper discusses how many fine ethnographies have been produced as a direct result of anthropologists? theoretical and paradigmatic interest in Indonesia, of the fact both that anthropological discourse can be seen as a subset of human imaginings and as a result of the fact that some places seem to be better to dream in. The paper examines Tania Murray Li?s article ?Compromising Power: Development, Culture and Rule in Indonesia? in Volume 13, No. 3 of Cultural Anthropology, on the subject.
From the Paper "Indonesia ? with its own contentious colonial history ? was an ideal setting if one wished to make sense of the role and evolution of cultures in a world in which colonial structures were falling away. Indonesia had at least three other additional inducements for at least American and British anthropologists: Their own countries had not been involved in the colonization of Indonesia so they did not have to feel any guilt over what they found; unlike many ?primitive? cultures, Indonesia societies (for of course this island nation is home to a number of very different cultural groups) are home to not only sophisticated performing and visual arts but also nuanced and complex literary traditions and a history of beautifully proportioned and ingeniously constructed architecture."

Indonesia, 2008. Looks at the political and economic history of Indonesia before, during and after the rule of its military leader and president Suharto. 2,210 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 11 sources, MLA, £ 48.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper explains that, in the history of Indonesia, the rule of Suharto is only somewhat less violent and repressive than had been true of Sukarno before him. The paper points out that Suharto used the military to crush any opposition to his effort at economic development. The paper also points out that, although it was one of the world's poorest countries in 1967 when Suharto came to power, Indonesia today is considered an economic success story. The paper further notes that the military, which was key to the New Order economic changes brought about by Suharto, remains strong after his death and concludes that, at this time, the balance between civilian and military rule in Indonesia is neither even nor tilted in favor of civilian rule.
From the Paper "One element in the conflict in the region is ethnic, directed against a Chinese majority that has been economically successful but not fully assimilated into Indonesian society. In the Sukarno and Suharto periods, the Chinese minority continued its business success but otherwise tried to a great extent to blend in and to go unnoticed. More recently, however, there has been a political re-awakening of the Chinese minority after the heavy hand of President Suharto was removed. In May 1998, there were anti-Chinese riots which made the Chinese see themselves as vulnerable."

From the Paper "According to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs , Indonesia is a strategic key to our National Security interests. Located strategically alongside several important international maritime crossroads, ingress to the United States from the sea must be managed from such strategic locations. The United States enjoys a reliable relationship with Indonesia at this time; playing a significant role in its independence and supporting its anti-communistic position during the Cold War has worked to repay our nation in 'cordial and cooperative relations' today. Jemaah Islamiyah - a terrorist organization - made its presence known to Indonesia during terrorist attacks on Bali (October 2002) and Jakarta (August 2003). Occurring so close to the United States attacks of September 11, 2001, the alliance - although not a formal treaty - has meaning and value to both countries."

Indonesia's Economy, 2006. A discussion of economic issues facing the nation of Indonesia, factors affecting those issues and measures undertaken to address them. 2,571 words (approx. 10.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 54.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper presents an overview of Indonesia's economy, discussing first the country's most recent economic crisis and then looking at how the government of Indonesia addressed the crisis. The paper outlines the economic troubles that the crisis brought on and the Indonesian government's efforts to deal with these troubles. The paper explains that, while Indonesia's economic outlook at first appeared bleak, the country's economic future now looks much brighter thanks to a series of economic measures, mostly pertaining to foreign investment, instituted by the government.
From the Paper "In October 1997, the Indonesian government had no choice, but to turn to the International Monetary Fund for assistance. Indonesia's economic troubles included a severe depreciation of its currency, the Rupiah, a rising inflation, and a banking system on the verge of collapse. With the assistance of the International Monetary Fund, there were major changes and included "major structural reforms, which should ultimately result in an improved investment climate.""

The Aceh Region of Indonesia, 2005. This paper discuses the political history of the Aceh region of Indonesia. 4,370 words (approx. 17.5 pages), 11 sources, APA, £ 81.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper explains that the Aceh region of Indonesia has a separate identity from the state as a whole, which dates back to pre-colonial times, and has been in a state of rebellion for the past 50 years. The author points out that Aceh's desire for independence is not based entirely on religion, although the Acehnese separatists are labeled "Islamic Fundamentalists"; a more accurate explanation, while not discounting religion, takes into account other important political and economic factors. The paper states that the Acehnese Independence Movement and the current situation developed from the New Order regime's policies, from 1949-1998, under Suharto, which exploited Aceh's natural resources and used excessive military force, resulting in perpetuating and strengthening the Acehnese desire for separation from Indonesia.

Current Concerns
From the Paper "Suharto's New Order regime came to an end in 1998 but it did not bring an end to problems in Aceh. Also, Suharto left behind a precedent for dealing with the Aceh conflict that, in many ways, remains very influential with successive and current leaders of the country. Suharto's policies of economic centralization, resulting in resource-rich regions being exploited for the benefit of Jakarta and at the expense of the local population, a policy which resulted in the underdevelopment of resource-rich Aceh, have changed little despite changes in governments in Indonesia. The legacy of deep mistrust and hatred of the central government produced by Suharto's New Order regime and President Habibe's inclination to follow the same policies made unrest worse and made the prospects of a permanent peace almost impossible."

Islam Radicalism in Indonesia, 2004. A discussion of Islam radicalism in Indonesia or as the author describes it: Fundamentalism among Moderate Society. 1,940 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, £ 43.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This essay discuss the phenomenon of Islamic fundamentalism in Indonesia and its links to international terrorists. Considering that the Indonesian Muslims are better to be classified as moderates, this essay also suggests how policy makers should deal with the issue. The first section discusses the emergence of the contemporary Islamic fundamentalist movements in Indonesia and the following section observes the reaction of the majority of Indonesian Muslims towards those movements. Based on the assessment in the preceding sections, the third section will emphasize the importance of the involvement of moderate Muslims in the effort to combat terrorism particularly that is affiliated to Muslim fundamentalists.
From the Paper "The emergence of Islamic fundamentalism is one interesting phenomenon in post-Suharto Indonesia due to the fact that the vast majority of Indonesian Muslims are widely recognized as moderates. Due to the counter-terrorism concern, further questions could be proposed regarding to the position of fundamentalism among the Indonesian Muslim society and the role of the moderate Muslims in supporting the effort to eradicate terrorism."

Abstract The paper explores why Indonesia has historically lagged behind its Southeast Asian neighbors in reference to equality and human rights, since 1950 to approximately 1996. The paper blames the nation's geographically diverse and multi-ethnic character as an obstacle to equality. The paper also explains that Indonesia suffered greater political repression than most other Asia Pacific Rim countries and this contributed to its generally poor record on equality and human rights.

Conclusion
From the Paper "Indonesia is the 4th most populous nation on the globe and among its many islands Java is the most densely populated island mass known (Foster, 2003). Although there are over 300 various ethnicities across Indonesia, its population can largely be divided into two broad categories: the Western half consists of Malay people which the Eastern half is a mix of Pacific Islanders (Smith, 2005, p.521). Additionally, because of Indonesia's historical trade relationships with China, there are long-established ethnic Chinese inhabitants that are often the target of ethnic and cultural bias. Indonesia's official language is Indonesian and is the lingua franca of the entire region bearing much in common with Malay although some areas of Indonesia still are dominated by other languages."

The following discussion will identify various research sources that address these considerations, emphasizing the importance of current findings in promoting economic growth and technology advancement in this developing nation."

The Failure of Australian ?Megaphone Diplomacy' Towards Indonesia, 2002. A paper which shows the ineffectiveness of Howard?s ?Megaphone Diplomacy? and the need for Australia?s good neighbourhood policy towards Indonesia. 3,035 words (approx. 12.1 pages), 14 sources, APA, £ 63.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract An essay which analyzes the ineffectiveness of Australia's 'megaphone diplomacy' under John Howard in dealing with the refugees and asylum seekers issue particularly with its largest neighbor, Indonesia. It also suggests a more appropriate formula for Australia to establish better relationships with Indonesia after the East Timor crises.
From the Paper "In analysing the effect of ?megaphone diplomacy? to Australia-Indonesia relations and to Australian engagement with the region, Kevin?s statement that ?a country?s foreign policy succeeds if its political leaders have a clear understanding of their country?s national interests and place in the world, so that they may set appropriate foreign policy goals; and if its diplomats are trained and resourced to carry out their specialist tasks of analysis and representation? could be used as the consideration. Based on his experience while serving as Australian diplomat in many Asian countries, Kevin also states that in most of the Asian regions, economic rationalism is not the dominant value system. There remains a large place for courtesy, for accommodating differences, for breaking bread together, for helping the needy, for recognising abiding values of family and friendship."

Conclusion
From the Paper "Among the major consequences of the crisis one cannot forget the psychological, economic, political, social, and security-oriented factors as the crisis and its effects forebode extensive implications for individual countries, the region, and the global community as a whole. As is its policy the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stepped to the aid and Indonesia and South Korea have accepted. In any case, difficult times still lie ahead, as effects of the financial crisis ripple through economies, causing social unrest and political uncertainty. The outcome remains unpredictable. What is clear is that the restoration of economic growth, trade, and investment is the surest way to reduce economic hardship, avoid social unrest, maintain political stability, and enhance security. Conversely, the longer and deeper the crisis, the greater the costs and the risks to all."
