Jakarta, Sambas, Poso, the Moluccas, West Papua. These simple,
geographical names have recently obtained strong associations with
mass killing, just as Aceh and East Timor, where large-scale
violence has flared up again. Lethal incidents between adjacent
villages, or between a petty criminal and the crowd, take place
throughout Indonesia. Indonesia is a violent country. Many
Indonesia-watchers, both scholars and journalists, explain the
violence in terms of the loss of the monopoly on the means of
violence by the state since the beginning of the Reformasi in 1998.
Others point at the omnipresent remnants of the New Order state
(1966-1998), former President Suharto's clan or the army in
particular, as the evil genius behind the present bloodshed. The
authors in this volume try to explain violence in Indonesia by
looking at it in historical perspective.
