Armed separatist movements in Papua, East Timor and Aceh have
been a serious problem for Indonesia's central government. This
book examines the policies of successive Indonesian governments to
contain secessionist forces, focusing in particular on Jakarta's
response towards the armed separatist movement in Aceh. Unlike
other studies of separatism in Indonesia, this book concentrates on
the responses of the central government rather than looking only at
the separatist forces. It shows how successive governments have
tried a wide range of approaches including military repression,
offers of autonomy, peace talks and a combination of these. It
discusses the lessons that have been learned from these different
approaches and analyzes the impact of the tsunami, including the
successful accommodation of former rebels within an Indonesian
devolved state structure and the expanding implementation of
Islamic law.
