“…When the suggestion was rebuffed, Mahendra began speaking out in public. Mahendra’s sacking by Wahid eventually led to a ministerial revolt, at which point most of those that had once supported Wahid’s “presidential bid turned against him” ([ 47 ]: 124). Ultimately Wahid was successfully impeached.…”

The effect of copartisan justice ministers on human rights in presidential democracies

A body of literature suggests that states with independent courts are more likely to protect human rights. A recent article challenges this notion by arguing that when both the president and his or her justice minister share the same party-i.e., they are copartisans-that state is less likely to protect human rights, as justice ministers may value their loyalty to the president over their duty to enforce court decisions. In this article, I estimate government respect for human rights accounting for both copartisan justice ministers and an independent judiciary. In the end, I find copartisan justice ministers to be negatively associated with high government respect for human rights, even after controlling for judicial independence. Many constitutions already seek to ensure an independent judiciary, but if copartisan justice ministers increase the likelihood that governments repress, then perhaps constitutional engineers should also consider options that would reduce the likelihood that both the president and his or her justice minister share the same party.

“…Steven Fish describes him as a religious leader to guide political society (Fish, 2002). Jun Honna mentioned that he is a charismatic Islamic leader in society (Aspinall and Fealy, 2010). This researcher's view illustrates that Islamic and socio-political discourse in Indonesia always requires the presence of a kiai figure.…”

This article describes the existence of kiai khos, a group of new traditional elites, who are able to play significant roles not only in the religious field but recently also in socio-political issues. These roles are served as the manifestation of their mastery of classical books (kitab kuning). Since KH. Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) during his presidency, 1999-2001, the term kiai khos has become a new prototype for kiai with not only religious abilities but classical book mastery. The study shows that these new traditional elites have transformed the pesantren into a dynamic and are able to encourage kiai and santri to move forward well in the context of politics, economics and religion. It was done by using qualitative ethnographic methods with a socio-anthropological approach explaining the new space of traditional elites as a result of their imaginative articulation in the dynamics of religion and politics in Indonesia.

“…There are two main reasons for this failure of reformist, anti-status quo parties in Indonesia. First, the New Order's demonisation of leftist-egalitarian sentiments, grassroots mobilisation and union activism has left a stronger legacy than initially thought (Aspinall and Fealy 2010;LSI 2010). According to Buchori, the middle class and the vast majority of working class families are still ''apolitical and inherently afraid of radical and activist political groups'' (interview, December 10, 2010).…”
