"The Dutch Legacy in the Indonesian Parliament"
No full textThe Indonesian parliament, the DPR, today presents its similar characteristics as the Dutch parliament in the 19th
century. The historical trajectories show that when establishing the core of the parliament institution, the founding fathers
copied what the colonial government had been practiced, and maintained during the authoritarian regime in Indonesia,
accordingly the Dutch legacy lingered. Consequently, in the wave of democratic era, after the fall of the authoritarian
president, the same institution should have adapted itself into a more democratic institution, but remained weak due
to its outdated characteristics. This paper shows the historical aspects of the DPR and the lingered Dutch legacy to
understand the DPR’s tradition. This paper concludes that the Indonesian parliament, DPR, is regarded more as a
legislative body, instead as a parliament and a deliberative assembly.peerReviewe
The Influence of Global Education in Indonesia : PISA Tests, Different Conceptions of National Assessment and the Policymaking Process
No full textThis chapter begins by analyzing how 2020's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) potentially affected the introduction of a national assessment for Indonesia's national education system, the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM). This study will assess Indonesia's PISA test results, the AKM, the policymaking process and the media's coverage of the Indonesian education system between 2019 and 2021, which ultimately led to the decision to introduce the AKM and scrap the existing assessment system. The study reveals that it was not a policy-borrowing process which was the key concern, but rather the lack of communication and different perceptions of assessment and education policies among domestic actors in the country and in the policymaking process. It then investigates different concepts of assessment (i.e., the assessment of the education system or actual student learning) held by different actors in cognizance of the need to modernize the existing education assessment system.peerReviewe
Interpreting multilateral diplomacy in the Indonesian Parliament’s debates on climate crisis and sustainability
No full textGenerally ‘diplomacy’ belongs to the tasks of the executive government, especially to the foreign affairs services. Nowadays, diplomacy includes everyone, including parliaments in a multilateral setting, especially when discussing global issues, such as climate change. This article discusses the parliamentary diplomacy practices of the Indonesian Parliament which are claimed to support multilateralism and foreign cooperation in international gatherings. The data is studied from the international events that this committee organized and Indonesian parliamentary meetings abroad in 2017–22, seen from the ideal parliamentary aspects of deliberation, representation, responsibility, and sovereignty. The data reveals that while the climate crisis is agreed to be more critical and awareness has been built among the members of parliament in this committee, the whole parliamentary members or the Indonesian Parliament as the institution does not fully acknowledge it yet. Legislation has not yet been enacted to tackle the climate crisis. Consequently, despite such sporadic efforts, the actions remain small, and inter-parliamentary diplomacy does not result in anything concrete. Multilateral diplomacy from parliament is still limited in this case.peerReviewe
Finnish education system as seen from an Indonesian perspective
No full textThe aim of this paper is to discuss the Finnish education system from an Indonesian perspective, and consider what citizens, notably from middle-income countries, may learn from the Finnish system. The source material is the author’s book, which provides an Indonesian perspective on the Finnish education system, supplemented by discussions from webinars and weekly Instagram Live discussions on the topic. It is known that education is part of a country’s culture, thus the Finnish education system cannot simply be implemented as such in another place. Yet there certainly are elements that can be adopted to the local culture, in this case, in Indonesia. The different models of education in Finland and Indonesia are compared to conclude with lessons that we can learn from Finland, notably regarding a sustainable future and the possibility of learning simple daily life skills.nonPeerReviewe
The empowerment of parliament in the transition from an authoritarian to a democratic regime : Indonesian experiences and problems
No full textThis article presents the experiences and problems of the Indonesian parliament, or DPR (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat), during the transition from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one, in 1999–2004. Despite empowerment through the amended constitution and political laws, the DPR did not significantly change its parliamentary procedure and practices. The problems in the DPR actually lie in its procedure. The DPR procedure and the parliamentary debates retain the authoritarian tradition that favours the executive government (president), encouraging small groups of commissions to take the decisions and to discuss parliamentary tasks outside the plenary session. Aspects of parliamentary procedure are also discussed. Accordingly, as the parliamentary procedure and its political culture remain outdated, the DPR cannot yet be considered to be a fully democratic parliament. As a means to empower the parliament, this article discusses the possibilities of reform in the DPR, including revising its procedure, as part of its democratization process.peerReviewe
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
