Book Description
The existence of Hindus in Indonesia’s border regions, such as Batam, Tarakan, Malinau and Atambua, reflects the diversity of culture and religion in Indonesia. Even though most of the Indonesia’s population is Muslim, there are Hindu communities that are still active and play an important role in culture and social life in these regions, such as in Batam, Tarakan, Malinau and Atambua. Batam is an island located close to Singapore and Malaysia. The Hindu community in Batam is relatively small compared to the majority Muslim population. Places of worship such as temples and Hindu groups are active here, but on a more limited scale compared to other Indonesian islands. Tarakan is a city located in North Kalimantan Province, close to the Malaysian border. The Hindu community in Tarakan is also a minority, but they still maintain the continuity of Hindu religious traditions and ceremonies.

Book Description
After more than twenty years of economic and political reform, China is a vastly different country to that left by Mao. Almost all the characteristic policies and practices of the Maoist era have been abandoned, with the goals of revolution in foreign and domestic policy being replaced by an emphasis on economic modernization, accompanied by radical social transformation and an increasingly significant international role. Yet, despite these dramatic changes other fundamental features of China's policy remain unchanged. This book explores the strategies of reform in China and their implications for its domestic and foreign policies. It challenges the misconceptions that no political reforms are taking place and that China is eagerly embracing capitalism. It also challenges the view that China does not abide by international norms and practices on military and security matters. Its contributors, all highly respected scholars, avoid simple generalisations about the nature of China's politics or future path, instead offering comparisons and contrasts between policy areas and regions to create a more complete picture of this complex country.

Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The military is one of the few institutions that cut across the divides of Indonesian society. As it continues to play a critical part in determining Indonesia's future, the military itself is undergoing profound change. The authors of this book examine the role of the military in politics and society since the fall of President Suharto in 1998. They present several strategic scenarios for Indonesia, which have important implications for U.S.-Indonesian relations, and propose goals for Indonesian military reform and elements of a U.S. engagement policy.
