Although a religion is considered by some researchers as a one of the cultural barriers that can obstruct an economic development in some countries, in this paper I show that religion, particularly Islam, plays an important role in the economic empowerment among Muslim society in Indonesia. The appearance of Bayt al-M?l wa al-Tamw?l (BMT/Islamic Microfinance Institution known as Islamic savings and loan cooperative) in, and its development since 1992, becomes a great evidence on how a religion gave a positive impact in economic development in Indonesia. Designed as an Islamic finance institution, BMT focuses on the small entrepreneurs or poor people and assists the development of micro or small businesses, especially capital aid. In this research, I use the collective action theory proposed by Alberto Melucci to explore the main factors that influenced Muslims to establish BMT, and how BMT movement develops among Indonesian Muslim society. Furthermore, I discuss BMT’s prospect relating with a poverty alleviation program. Overall, in this paper I argue that the BMT movement can be considered as a social movement where the civil society takes more important role than the state. The lack of regulation did not turn out to be an obstacle for Muslim society to establish and develop BMT in some regions in Indonesia. Finally, these findings suggest that religion is not the obstacle of economic development, yet it is one of the key factors to empower economic Muslim society. read more

To describe how recipients of PKH (mother of children under five years) allocate their funding assistance. This study was conducted in Yogyakarta Regency among 45 mothers of children under five years who receive PKH between August 2012 and April 2013. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interview using semi-structured questionnaires. Several responses were obtained from the respondents on how they allocate their grants. The vast majority spent the funding from PKH for their children, to pay tuition fee, buy books, uniforms, and shoes. They also used the grant to support household needs such as meals and pay debts. Contrastingly, only few of them allocated the grants for their children under five years health such as to buy healthy food, milk, and vitamin. Most of them argued that PKH was intended for education of their child only, thus the grants were directed to the older children to support their education. Mother of children under five years spent their PKH grants in various ways and limited was allocated for their children under five years health. Although, no rules regulate funding allocation, proper use needs to be promoted to the recipient to achieve greater impact of PKH. read more

Abdurrahman Wahid opposed any conception of a monolithic role of Islam in the form of Islamic parties which aspired to establish an Islamic state. For Wahid, Islam would best play a role in social transformation in order to support the development of democracy in Indonesia. Indeed, Wahid’s view on the interface between Islam and state has departed from the traditional paradigm of the legal formal approach and embarks on what can be called a political approach (i.e. based upon political principles). This political approach sees a role for mutual legitimacy in the relationship between Islam and state and he offers democracy as a quasi-norm which should be respected by the state as well as Muslims. It enables Muslims to participate actively in the national political system as well as reflect critically on the autocratic Soeharto regime. read more

hildren are often denied to be participated in their community. Their voices are often ignored by adults. However, in Tulungagung, there is one organization that challenges children to participate and contribute aspirations and their positive energy. The organization called Dewan Perwakilan Anak (DPA) or Children Representative Council. In such organizations, the members try to socialize on children’s rights, anti-violence acts against children, effort to create child-friendly schools, social services to some remote areas. They also have some agenda called ?kumpul bocah? which produce kind of recommendations that could be proposed to government, parents, teachers, and society. Children’s participation in the DPA could then become the media in supporting children?s aspiration. DPA?s members with their activities are able to empower children community in Tulungagung and effort to fulfill rights that should received by children. The empowerment also experienced by young activists of DPA. They tend to have more courage in expressing their own willingness and hope to their parents. They also own some skills they learn from the organization.
