ACADEMICS, ASSOCIATES AND ADVISORY BOARDS The Indonesia Project’s advisory board discusses major policy and research matters. The Board’s 15 advisory members come from ANU, other Australian universities, Australian and Indonesian research institutes and the Australian Government (see Attachment 2). The Project also hosts research associates from universities across Australia, Indonesia and the world (see Attachment 3).

FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS Since 1980, the Project has received generous funding from Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The ANU also supports the Indonesia Project, with human and physical capital. With the backing of DFAT and ANU, this has led to the expansion and diversification of the Project’s activities.

GENDER

In 2018, the Indonesia Project started working on a gender strategy to balance its activities, to encourage more input from female academics and intellectuals, and to contribute to a more equal-opportunity academic environment.

Female participation rates across the Project’s continued to be fostered in 2018:

• The 2018 Indonesia Update conference had its first all-female panel, titled Ethnicity. Furthermore, 46 per cent of attendees were female, 55 per cent of speakers were female and 67 per cent of panel chairs were female.

• Sarah Dong continued her research on Indonesia’s gender issues, focussing on the Asian Financial Crisis’s differential effects on men and women and the effects of change in labour demand on women’s household decision power. One title of Sarah’s publications included Do economic crises have a different impact on husbands and wives? Evidence from the Asian Financial Crisis in Indonesia.

• In the 2018 Forum Kajian Pembangunan seminar series, 101 speakers presented on their research, of which 41 were female. Across 42 events, around half of attendees were female. A number of seminars carried a gender focus, including:

• School sanitation roadmap.

• Case study of sanitation during menstruation amongst primary and secondary school children.

• Economic crisis and early childhood cognitive development in Indonesia:

• Demographic masculinisation and son preference: Is Southeast Asia affected? Empirical Evidence from Indonesia.

• The Indonesia Project supported three research grant partnerships with female researchers. Two grants carried a gender theme:

• Adoption of post-partum family planning: knowledge, attitudes and practices of women in Central Java, Indonesia.

• Coordinating HIV funding and health policy to achieve better outcomes for young men’s access to care in Jakarta.

• One out of two research travel grantees were female, and one carried gender theme:

The Indonesia Project’s major research dissemination activities are the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (BIES) publication (since 1965), the annual Indonesia Update conference (since 1983) and the resulting annual Indonesia Update book series (since 1988). Each of these activities have provided a vehicle for encouraging research and the diffusion of ideas within Australia and internationally concerning the broader challenges facing Indonesia.

The Project also has a range of interrelated research and outreach activities such as the High Level Policy Dialogue, conferences and seminars, a visitor program and both the training and mentoring of researchers and Indonesian PhD students who conduct high quality empirical work on Indonesian economy and society. These activities aim to contribute to policy development in Indonesia.

RESEARCH

The Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (BIES)Since its inception in 1965, the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (BIES) continues to be one of the Project’s main research outputs, and is the preeminent international journal on Indonesia’s economy and society. Published three times annually—April, August and December—the principal goal of the BIES is to produce and disseminate high quality, policy relevant research on Indonesia’s economic and social development for Australian, Indonesian and wider international audiences. BIES authors face a rigorous double-blind peer review, robust editing, free-access initiatives, and article promotion.

The BIES is available in full in thousands of libraries around the world, through Routledge/Taylor and Francis, and its partner agreements, including across developing nations through philanthropic initiatives. The BIES is also available for individual article purchase through several channels, including the publisher’s own platform, Taylor and Francis Online. In Jakarta, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies continues to publish discounted hard copies of the BIES for distribution in Indonesia.

In 2018, the BIES published 14 articles, six book reviews and three surveys on recent developments. Articles examined current trends, policy changes and important events relating to covered a wide range of topics such as sustainable development, property price determinants, regional electricity supply, farmer certification and feed-in tariff schemes. Book reviews reviewed books in labour mobility in Southeast Asia, maritime security and power relations. Each volume began with a Survey of recent developments, which this year analysed Indonesia’s ability to secure a development dividend from its resource export boom, the country’s stubborn economic growth rate, and its key economic policies. Other regular features of the journal were the annual Indonesian politics update and the annual comparative paper on Indonesian economic policy. In 2018, the politics paper analysed Indonesia’s declining democracy ahead of its general election and the comparative paper focused on value chain connectivity and the evolution of ‘unbundlings’.

In 2018, the BIES continued to maintain notable metric results. The Journal is ranked 5th in the world in ‘area studies’. In Clarivate Analytics’ annual Journal Citation Reports, the BIES received an impact factor of 1.829, placing it in the 93rd percentile of area-studies journal and the 73rd percentile of economics journals. This is an increase of 1.104 from our impact factor last year. In Elsevier’s CiteScore metric, which draws on Scopus data, the BIES received a score of 1.30, placing it in the 70th percentile of development journals and the 67th percentile of economic journals. In SClmago’s Journal Rankings, which also draws on Scopus data, the BIES received an SJR score of 0.752—an increase from 0.390 the year before.

BIES Economic Dialogue and ForumThe BIES Economic Dialogue and Forum is a seminar series which promotes and encourages Indonesian academics, policy-makers and researchers to read, subscribe and submit articles to the BIES. The Dialogue and Forum are comprised of three seminars – the flagship BIES Dialogue in collaboration with Universitas Padjadjaran, and two BIES Forum events with other universities in Indonesia.

Now in its sixth year, the BIES Economic Dialogue was held on 13 November 2018, hosted by the Center for Economic and Development Studies (CEDS) at Universitas Padjajaran in Bandung. The Dialogue topic was Early educational experience and later education outcomes: evidence from school transition in Indonesia. This was based on the BIES Journal article by T. Yudo Wicaksono and Firman Witoelar. Using the Indonesia Family Life Survey, the authors found that grade retention at primary school is associated with a reduced probability of progressing through school. They also found there was a lower continuum of students moving from junior to senior high school.

More than 60 people attended the BIES Economic Dialogue, mostly who were students and academics from Universitas Padjajaran, other training institutions in Bandung and staff from the provincial government.

The BIES Economic Forum is a seminar series aimed to encourage Indonesian academics to engage with the BIES. The 2018 Forums were held as Sriwijaya University, Palembang, and Diponogoro University in Semarang, on 14 and 15 November respectively. Budy Resosudarmo (ANU) introduced the BIES and spoke about academic writing. He also reviewed recent developments in economic empirical research.

Between both Forums, some 120 people attend, mostly students and academics from the respective institutions

Research in other publicationsThe Project’s academic staff published 22 articles, working papers, book chapters and opinion pieces in 2018, with topics ranging from elections, economic crises, tax and expenditure, political party fragmentation, industrial plantation conflicts, property crime and Islamist populism.


Research Grants 2018–2019Research Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, where proposals are assessed on academic quality, research potential and prospect for long-term cooperation between Indonesian and Australian institutes. The grants provide funding up to $15,000 per research team, covering the cost of initiating new research activities, such as travel costs, field work, data collection and research assistance.

SIGNATURE PROGRAMS

Indonesia Update Conference and Mini-UpdatesThe Indonesia Update conference is held annually in Canberra over two days in September. As the largest annual conference on Indonesia outside of Indonesia, the conference is held with Indonesian specialists from universities and research centres all over the world. Speakers are invited to write and present papers on selected topics that relate to a key theme of Indonesian development, such as gender, governance, environment, decentralisation, local government and Islam. An Update book is published after each conference, which is the only regular annual international publication devoted to Indonesian affairs.

The 36th Indonesia Update was titled Contentious belonging: the place of minorities in Indonesia, was held on 14 and 15 September 2018. Convened by Greg Fealy (ANU) and Ronit Ricci (ANU, and Hebrew University), the conference recorded 549 registered participants, who were from academia, government and non-government organisations, the private sector and media

The Political Update speaker was Tom Power (ANU), Jacqui Baker (Murdoch University) as discussant, and Julie Heckscher (DFAT) as the panel’s chair. Tom Power recapped on the past 12 months of Indonesian politics, and considered whether Jokowi was overseeing an ‘authoritarian turn’ ahead of the 2019 election. He noted that 2019 would be a test for the resilience of Indonesia’s democratic order. Jacqui Baker focused on the instrumentalism of the Indonesian police force as being necessitated by the ongoing dynamics of political contestation in the country.

The Economic Update speakers were Ross McLeod (ANU) and Sitta Izza Rosdaniah (Indonesian Ministry of State Owned Enterprises). Susan Olivia (University of Waikato) was the panel’s


discussant, and Sarah Dong (ANU) as the panel’s chair. Ross McLeod spoke on weakening of the Rupiah, sending a reminder that the Rupiah’s current depreciation reflects the strength of the US dollar, not the weakness of the Rupiah. Sitta Izza Rosdaniah spoke on Indonesia’s bureaucracy and that its lack of integrity and competence continues to act as a bureaucratic bottleneck. Susan Olivia noted that Indonesia’s debt level is amongst the lowest in the world, and that the Rupiah weakening is in line with global trends in emerging market currencies.

Robert Cribb (ANU) delivered the keynote address, Ambiguous advantage: minority status in Indonesian history. He highlighted the importance of history in understanding minority status in Indonesia today. Tim Lindsey (University of Melbourne) and Simon Butt (The University of Sydney) spoke on the legal and constitutional perspectives of minorities. While Lindsey focused on Indonesia’s legal framework for the regulation of minorities, Butt analysed the practical aspects of defending the rights of minorities in Indonesia’s constitutional court. Both speakers agreed that the lack of expertise and integrity underscores the importance of reforms in Indonesia’s judiciary and Constitutional Court.

A session on sexual minorities was chaired by Sharon Bessell (ANU). Saskia Wieringa (University of Amsterdam) spoke on the recent wave of homophobia in Indonesia, analysing possible politically motivations. Hendri Yulius (University of Sydney) spoke about people’s affiliation with the LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual) and SOGIE (sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression) communities in Indonesia.

The second day of the conference opened with a session on religious minorities, chaired by George Quinn (ANU). Marcus Mietzner (ANU) and Burhanuddin Muhtadi (ANU and Indikator Politik Indonesia) presented on the results of a multi-year survey on Muslim intolerance toward religious and ethnic minorities. Ihsan Ali-Fauzi (Yayasan Parmadina) spoke on the increasing intolerance found across the country. Sandra Hamid (Asia Foundation) also explored religious intolerance, highlighting that civil society has a narrowing religious tolerance.

An all-female panel explored minorities, and was chaired by Jewel Topsfield (Fairfax Media). Charlotte Setijadi (Singapore Management University) discussed anti-Chinese sentiments and the return of the pribumi discourse following the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Maria Myutel (ANU) discussed Indonesia’s Indian Sindhi community, who are descendants of traders that resettled in Indonesia after partition. Butet Manurung (Sokola Rimba) discussed the normalisation of the Orang Rimba of Jambi.

Sidney Jones (Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict) closed the Update with reflections on the political manipulation of minority status. She likened the majority-minority cases to that of an insider versus outsider, of indigenous versus migrants. As Jones noted, the idea of minority is malleable and dynamic, and subject to political manipulation.

Video and presentation downloads are available on the Indonesia Project’s website.

Mini Indonesia Update, Lowy Institute for International Policy

At least two Mini Indonesia Updates are held each year, at which several speakers from the main Indonesia Update conference

repeat their presentations. These additional conferences ensure the Indonesia Update reaches a wider audience. The first Mini Indonesia Update was held at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney on 17 September 2018. The first session was led by Roland Rajah (Lowy Institute) and Ross McLeod (ANU), where they discussed Indonesia’s depreciating exchange rate and current account deficit. This session was attended by people from the finance community, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the media. For the second session, Tom Power (ANU) discussed trends in the political scene and Robert Cribb who spoke on the status of minorities in Indonesia. Sidney Jones, Sandra Hamid and Charlotte Setijadi concluded this Mini-Update with a panel discussion on the first two sessions.

Mini Indonesia Update, University of Melbourne

A second Mini Indonesia Update was held at the Centre for Indonesian Law, Islam and Society at The University of Melbourne on 18 September 2018. Presentations were delivered by four speakers, all of whom participated in the ANU Update. The first panel focused on political and legal issues, with Tom Power (ANU) discussing contemporary developments in Indonesian democracy, and Professor Tim Lindsey (University of Melbourne) speaking about the legal status of religious, ethnic and sexual minorities. A second panel examined in greater detail the challenges faced by minority groups. Saskia Wieringa (University of Amsterdam) examined the implications of a recent surge of anti-LGBTIQ discourse, and Antoni Tsaputra (University of New South Wales) presented on the experiences of disabled people in Indonesia and the problematic disability law. This event was well-attended by an audience of academics, students, journalists and members of the wider community. This event concluded with the launch of a major new contribution to the literature on Australia-Indonesia relations, Strangers next door?

In its 12th year, the 2018 Sadli Lecture was held on 2 May 2018 at Hotel Pullman Thamrin.

In Kimura’s lecture, he explored the evolution of ‘unbundling’, a term used to describe the reconfiguration of economic activities in response to technological change. For Indonesia, its position in global unbundling is measured through representative industries, key technological capability and geographic condition.

With around 100 people attending the lecture, most attendees were from universities and research centres, government non-research agencies, international agencies and development consulting firms, business organisations and non-government organisations and the media.

The event was opened by Ari Kuncoro (Dean of Faculty of Business, Universitas Indonesia (FEB UI)) who extended his appreciation for the ongoing collaboration between the University of Indonesia and the Indonesia Project. This lecture is the second longest-running event at FEB UI, and Kuncoro expressed his ambition for the lecture to continue to inspire academics to continue their research to influence policy. Following the keynote address by the Chairman

of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Minister Thomas Trikasih Lembong, he noted that Professor Sadli was the first Chairman of BKPM, who laid the foundation for the future of the agency.
