My new piece for The Diplomat presents alternative angles to decipher the Indonesian political landscape.

"The country’s democratic durability has been underpinned by pragmatic collaboration between elites. This has come at a cost."

Prabowo spent over a year courting Trump, visits, phone calls, trade concessions, and joining a controversial Board of Peace with no formal leverage. Indonesia initially committed 8,000 troops, faced a $1 billion membership fee, and signed a lopsided trade deal that required amending 91 existing laws. In return? No tariff relief, no BoP influence, and no elevation of Indonesia's global stature.

By choosing appeasement over independence, Indonesia quietly shelved its bebas-aktif foreign policy tradition and missed a rare opening to shape a new middle power coalition lead among middle powers at a critical moment in global order.

⚠️Investigate the Perpetrator of the Acid Attack Against Andrie Yunus!🚨

An acid attack against KontraS Deputy Coordinator Andrie Yunus is an attack on human rights defenders and on everyone speak out the truth. Silence and impunity cannot be tolerated. We condemn such action and demand investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice!

[Mary Lawlor @MaryLawlorhrds]

I’m hearing extremely concerning news that Andrie Yunus, the Deputy Coordinator of the Commission for the Disappeared & Victims of Violence (@KontraS) suffered an acid attack carried out by unidentified individuals, resulting in serious injuries across his body. I call on the Indonesian authorities to carry out thorough investigations into this horrific attack. Impunity for violence against HRDs is unacceptable. @IndonesiaGeneva @Kemlu_RI

By striking down IEEPA tariffs, and with the US Administration reinstating a 10% global rate,existing bilateral reciprocal agreements now lock in higher tariffs (e.g. 19% on certain goods). Under GATT,such agreements are meant to lower trade barriers, but instead they raise them.

How will this affect Indonesia?

🇮🇩🇻🇪 bilateral trade reached $64.2 million in 2024 (with a $23.5 million surplus for 🇮🇩)

Last year, both sides agreed to deepen economic cooperation, and this year they were expected to hold their first-ever bilateral political consultation forum

Perhaps worth remembering that polls about US intervention in Venezuela conducted before today are no longer informative. Expect public opinion to polarise very quickly (dampening any effect on Americans’ views of Trump):

'Andor' writer Dan Gilroy on the real-life influences for Mon Mothma’s speech

“As I was literally starting to write it, I was watching senators and congressmen and congresswomen abandoning their democratic principles and bending their knee to power. So when I’m writing that speech, I’m angry — I’m very angry. Because I can very much relate to what’s going on in Mon’s world"

“I revelled in it. I got lost in it. I imagined it. I respected it. I wanted to make every comma and period proper and right. This was hallowed ground to me. There’s nothing more important to me than someone who’s willing to sacrifice themselves for a political ideal, or a fight against the evil tendencies of our human nature. I bow to that"

Untuk menghasilkan $1 juta dolar (Rp16.5 miliar) nilai tambah di sektor sawit, diperlukan sekitar 600 hektar tanah.

Untuk menghasilkan nilai yang sama di sektor manufaktur, hanya diperlukan sekitar 1.6 hektar tanah.

Dan kita lebih milih nebang pohon dibanding bangun pabrik.

Przeworski on the Nature & Value of Democracy

Przeworski is the author who has made the most lucid defense of a minimalist conception of democracy while arguing that such a democracy is valuable.

These two texts present his views.
