"The Dutch Legacy in the Indonesian Parliament"

2013

th century; Parliamentary procedure Abstract The Indonesian parliament, the DPR, today presents its similar characteristics as the Dutch parliament in the 19 th 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.

Social Science Research in Southeast Asia : the Challenges of Studying Parliamentary Institutions

2019

This paper introduces the challenges of studying parliamentary institutions in Southeast Asia.

Indonezyjska autonomiczna prowincja Aceh - rozsadnik islamskiego radykalizmu?

2018

Nękana najdłuższym konfliktem zbrojnym w dziejach Indonezji (pomiędzy separatystami a wojskiem indonezyjskim) prowincja Aceh na północy Sumatry uzyskała upragnioną szeroką autonomię w ramach unitarnego państwa. Paradoksalnie do postępów procesu pokojowego przyczyniło się tragiczne w skutkach tsunami, m.in. dlatego, że ofiarodawcy pomocy międzynarodowej wymagali przede wszystkim pokoju i bezpieczeństwa na tym obszarze, a dla władz centralnych nałożenie się na siebie dwóch problemów w tej prowincji też było zbyt dużym wyzwaniem.

This research investigates the effects of marketer-generated content (i.e., emotional and rational), sounds, and influencers on digital customer engagement (i.e., likes and shares) on TikTok.

Conversely, rational (i.e., informational and transactional) posts receive more likes and shares than emotional posts.

Finnish education system as seen from an Indonesian perspective

2021

The 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 Fi…
