Free Download Ken Conboy, "Intel: Inside Indonesia’s Intelligence Service"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 979979644X | EPUB | pages: 264 | 0.3 mb
IN A COUNTRY where talk of conspiracies is often a national pastime, the deepest, sometimes darkest, secrets have long been held by Indonesia’s State Intelligence Agency (Badan Intelijen Negara, or BIN). Whether targeting communist diplomats, foreign terrorists, or domestic dissidents, BIN and its precursor organizations have been the covert spearhead of the nation’s security policy. Here, for the first time, this secretive agency is exposed in INTEL: Inside Indonesia’s Intelligence Service by noted author Ken Conboy. Drawing from exclusive access to BIN’s personnel and operational archives, Conboy examines the agents and their operations since BIN’s founding fifty years ago, and sheds new light on Indonesia’s role in the Cold War with case studies of North Korean, Soviet, and Vietnamese operations across the archipelago and BIN’s current position at the forefront on the war against terrorism. From the activities and subsequent captures of both Faruq and Hambali to the Indonesian operations of al-Qaeda, this book provides far more detail and insight than previously available. Understanding BIN is an integral part of understanding the politics and security of Indonesia, and INTEL is essential reading for anyone interested in intelligence operations, contemporary Indonesian history, and international terrorism.

Free Download Leonard C. Sebastian, "Indonesia and Islam in Transition "
English | ISBN: 9819711398 | 2024 | 309 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book focuses on Islam in Indonesia, showcasing the wide range of Muslim organisations, belief systems and movements, together with an analysis of the political behaviour of Indonesian Muslims. It includes an investigation of the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how Muslims within the archipelago interact within these contexts. In doing so, it promotes a more nuanced understanding of Indonesian Muslim society by approaching it through the utilisation of scholarly frameworks. Theories related to religion and society are used, especially in characterising the transition of the Indonesian Muslim society from pre-New Order to post-New Order. Particularly significant is Abdullah Saeed’s framework in understanding one’s attitude towards key and contemporary issues, originally used to understand one’s attitude towards the religious ‘other’. The authors thus adopt this framework in the book, as a method of categorising people in a diverse society which in turnhelps readers to understand the nuances of Islam and Muslims in a huge country like Indonesia.

It includes an examination of the production of Buddhist wayside shrines.

Free Download Mustafa Demir, "Islamist Populism in Turkey and Indonesia: A Comparative Analysis "
English | ISBN: 981997979X | 2023 | 171 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book focuses on the dynamics of democracy and populism in Muslim-majority countries, such as Turkey and Indonesia. It does so by examining the complexities of democratic development in these areas, ranging from ‘flawed’ to ‘hybrid’ regimes. Despite the aspirations for democratic progress, recent democracy indices reveal a concerning trend of backsliding, particularly in the last decade. This regression can be attributed, in part, to the ascendancy of populist politics.
