“…After independence from colonialism, Indonesia experienced several different periods of government, including the old order, the new order, and the Reformation. In each of these reigns, political power is often contested by various political groups and actors and can produce different policies (Bourchier & Jusuf, 2022).…”

Islamic Education Institutions (LPI) were born with different characters and ideologies from Dutch and Japanese educational institutions. This difference is still maintained even though Indonesia has declared itself independent. Only later in the reform era did the dynamics of the relationship between LPI and government power change. This study then examines changes in the relationship between the LPI and political power after the Reformation. This research will be carried out using qualitative methods and a historiographical approach. Researchers will use data on Indonesia’s social, political, and religious situation from when the Dutch colonized Indonesia until the temporary Indonesian period. This research then found a new change in the political movement of Islamic education in Indonesia in 1998. In this change, various Islamic educational institutions began to enter the political context and fill multiple positions in the government. Islamic educational institutions started to transform and become part of political power, which marked a paradigmatic change in the politics of Islamic education.

“…Everything associated with liberalism paradigm sounds allergic for some in the Muslim community, who may otherwise use it as common enemy and exploit it based on religious sentiment for their own political interests (Bourchier & Jusuf, 2022). For instance, in 2005 MUI issued a fatwa-ban, stating that "secularism, liberalism and pluralism" is a prohibited ideology which is against the teaching of Islam.…”

This paper aims to show the limitations of the liberal viewpoint vis-à-vis overcoming the conflict between freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia. The multi-ethnic and multi-religious condition, a unique feature of Indonesian society, demonstrates that the conventional liberal framework of the concept of freedom of religion and belief is insufficient. To complete this article, the writer employs the literature research method. This research can formulate many findings: freedom of religion and belief is not only concerned with the individual. And an individual right to choose his/her faith is strongly linked to how one legitimately expresses oneself in communities based on ethnicity and/or religion. Furthermore, plurality in a multicultural society presumes acknowledging a fundamental truth that can be expressed in many ways.

“…The tension between art and politics reached a critical point with the issuance of the Cultural Manifesto crafted by Wiratmo Soekito in 1963 (Bourchier & Jusuf, 2023). This manifesto symbolized resistance against the political domination ingrained in the arts, particularly those imposed by Lekra, often associated with the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI).…”

This study aims to document the establishment process and role of the Makassar Arts Council. This study uses a qualitative content analysis. This analysis enables researchers to construct a coherent and comprehensive historical narrative, and ultimately yields a conclusion. The results show that DKM was established in response to the challenging and conflict-ridden dynamics of the arts in Makassar, especially concerning the politicization of the arts. This situation prompted artists to form a more neutral venue to encourage artistic expression free from political intimidation, which ultimately crystallized in the establishment of DKM on July 25, 1969. Since then, DKM has grown into an institution that continuously supports and nurtures the arts, making Makassar a center for dynamic and sustainable artistic activities. Therefore, it is recommended that historians thoroughly document the historical phases of DKM in the social and political context to enrich the archives of Indonesian art history. Meanwhile, artists are encouraged to actively collaborate with DKM in creating innovative works and promoting their works more broadly. The Makassar Municipal Government is recommended to enhance financial support and infrastructure for DKM, making it a strategic partner in developing cultural policies. Lastly, the general public is encouraged to become more involved in DKM activities, supporting artistic initiatives that can enrich local cultural life and ensure the sustainability and dynamic growth of the arts in Makassar.
