SUMMARY:Liberalism, Majoritarianism, and Religious Conservativism in Contemporary Indonesia
LOCATION:Room 1.101
DESCRIPTION:On 18 August 2000, a second amendment was made to Indonesia’s 1
 945 Constitution. What resulted was the incorporation of a raft of liberal 
 democratic human rights guarantees, which included the right to freedom of 
 expression, the right to freedom of religion, and the right to freedom of a
 ssembly. Ironically, these same liberal democratic freedoms facilitated a b
 acklash of conservative Islamic sentiment, which resulted in, among other t
 hings, the growth of religious vigilantism, greater sectarianism, an increa
 se in the number of blasphemy convictions, and an increase in the number of
  Islamising regulations issued at the local government level. For almost tw
 o decades now, Indonesian democracy has become well established, but it has
  simultaneously veered away from the liberal democratic ideals contained in
  its highest law toward the illiberal and majoritarian notion of‘religious 
 harmony'. Religious harmony, as Indonesia’s Constitutional Court articulate
 d in 2010, is the notion that public order is maintained by prioritising th
 e protection of the religious sensibilities and religious orthodoxy of Indo
 nesia’s Sunni Muslim majority over the fundamental rights of the country’s 
 religious minorities. While this shift has been endorsed by the state and j
 udiciary, and led to a resurgence of what Jeremy Menchik refers to as ‘Godl
 y Nationalism’ in the public sphere, religious expression in Indonesia rema
 ins a site of constant contestation. This panel thus seeks to address the c
 ontemporary socio- legal trajectories that underpin the politicisation of r
 eligion, asking how it manifests itself, and whether the country will chang
 e trajectory and begin to uphold the democratic ideals enshrined in Indones
 ia's highest law.
