In many areas, particularly in large cities, groups of uniformed thugs sprang up. Acceptable methods that might entice conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table were abandoned. The view that the law is inherently biased against ordinary people and that it fails to respect the environment and human rights is the result of the old legal paradigm promoted by major power holders in this country. We have tried to promote a legal system that is more responsive and more accommodating to social diversity. We promote values based on a vision of a pluralistic society. We also promote the values of conservation and democratization as integral parts of this vision.

In Jakarta, PAM Jaya has been sold to Suez of Paris and Thames Water of London.

Privatization of these resources rests on the assumption that water resources are economic goods. In fact, the subak system shows that water resources are more efficiently managed as social goods, or community resources. I feel that the privatization of these resources requires extremely careful consideration before implementation.

Given his guiding role at FEUI, it is not surprising that political foes would view FEUI as “socialist” territory. Focus and impact of the Foundation’s work expanded considerably. During this time all grantmaking in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam was administered from Jakarta, and program ide dekorasi tropical vibes untuk berbagai rumah staff based in Indonesia frequently worked on parallel activities across the region. Finally, the crop water requirements for each to crop type and area of cultivation were estimated using monthly crop coefficients and the mean monthly evaporative demand values were obtained by the best fitting method.

Young economist from No. 4 Jalan Salemba could not postpone his plan for FEUI much longer. In the end, however, Sumitro’s hopes of an arrangement between the two academic institutions collapsed because the necessary matching funds, which had been pledged by ECA, failed to materialize. His persistence and Harris’s hard work finally bore fruit. In May 1956, UC Berkeley officially entered into an agreement with FEUI, one that would turn out to have great historical ramifications.

In 1978, I was released from prison and got married. To its credit, Harvard had kept my scholarship open. Soedjatmoko – an intellectual, a former Indonesian ambassador to Washington, and a trustee of the Ford Foundation, who was also briefly detained after the Malari incident – played a significant role in that decision. Soedjatmoko assisted me in obtaining a scholarship from the Ford Foundation.

The alliance between these two groups made for unfair and dishonest elections because Golkar and the government’s other powerful supporters, with the help of the military, could easily intimidate voters. As a result Indonesia experienced a rush of foreign investment. By the mid-1970s, 50 per cent of all investment in the country, with the exception of the oil sector, originated abroad. A wide range of consumer products began to appear, along with a surge in television and print advertising. The face of Indonesia’s cities, especially Jakarta, soon changed, largely because of the influx of Japanese products.

There is a failure to involve broader segments of society. For example, outside their own community, few are aware of the issues facing the Dayak in Kalimantan, even though other communities throughout Indonesia may face similar issues. This narrowness is our major weakness, and overcoming it is our biggest challenge. Our programs should be funded by members of the broader Indonesian community. This will only become possible by fostering a sense of ownership over and involvement in issues that ultimately affect us all. We should also involve the business sector by creating a membership-based organization supported by contributions from members who believe in HuMa’s programs but who would be unable to implement similar programs by themselves.

So this model of development does not help the people here. I wonder how much better it would work if traditional communities were given opportunities to manage natural resources within clearly defined areas. I am a villager who has learned from the village community. But I can see that many of the recommendations by experts are not appropriate for communities characterized by economic systems that vary significantly from area to area. Economists place humans within the context of a capitalist system. For traditional communities, however, the forest is a complete ecosystem in which humans are but a small part.

These NGOs, whether or not by intent, were driven by the situation to become more involved in influencing public policy. Politics had become an important part of their existence. For example, YLKI could not stop at simply providing information to the public. It had to devise and promote consumer protection laws and, in so doing, had to work with a weak and indifferent Parliament. That structure had to be broken down before real change could take place.
Students were more interested in preparing for a career than engaging in political activities. Lastly, appreciation is due to Sinartus Sosrodjojo and JiwaFoto Agency for the images taken during arduous photoshoots throughout the archipelago. They were suspicious of business, and saw free trade as detrimental to the interests of the disempowered. Preparing such a meeting could be an interesting project and a challenge to the librarians in the project team.
