"The 'New Perspective' Spreads Its Wings!"

(in Indonesian language)

In 1994 the political televison talkshow "Perspektif" with the moderator Wimar Witoelar became a hit among viewers. However, the Suharto regime disliked the programe and banned it shortly after. Yet only one month after that "Perspektif" re-emerged again, this time on the radio and in newspapers. To this day a weekly radio program is being broadcast and reprinted in several Indonesian newspapers. Freedom of speech, a key to democracy, is guaranteed in 2005. This publication was supported by KAS and emphasizes the role of the "New Perspective" in building the Indonesian democracy. It contains the edited texts of the radio interviews with numerous representatives of Indonesian public life on current or basic political questions of Indonesian domestic politics.

Dynamics and Capacity of Local Parliaments in the Democratic Political System

(in Indonesian language)

Both the development of a democratic political system and the implementation of decentralization in Indonesia have not succeeded yet. In many cases local parliaments even turned into bad models because they lack institutional structures and efficient strategies to guarantee their political influence. However, changes to the political system can only be made successfully if the development of local parliaments and decentralization policy go hand in hand. In order to achieve this status enormous efforts have to be made so that a functioning political "circle configuration" can be reached.
