Indonesiaâs Nurcholish Madjid and Abdurrahman Wahid as Intellectual âUlamÄâ: The Meeting of Islamic Traditionalism and Modernism in neo-Modernist Thought
Indonesian Islamic discourse of the modern record Nurcholish Madjid and Abdurrahman Wahid as the two main characters for the development of a reform movement known as neo-modernism movement. The question that should be asked is: why neo-Modernist Islamic thought this was so a place among Indonesian Muslims?DOI:Â 10.15408/sdi.v4i1.78
From the comforts of print to the possibilities of digital media: leading the way in teaching political leadership in a faculty of arts
Since it inception, Deakin University has been committed to the delivery of innovative, high quality course materials to its off campus students. Until recently these packages were predominantly print based, although augmented with audio-visual materials delivered in cassette format. Ironically, with the advent of information and communications technologies (ICT), and some select computer assisted learning and multimedia packages, there was an overall decline in the use of audio and video as important means of enhancing learning. Like many other universities, Deakin has moved to a strong, centralised approach to the provision of its digital and online corporate technology environment. With investment in these technologies has come a renewed interest in the ways in which text and audio-visual materials in digital form can enhance students\u27 learning experiences. Moreover, the ways in which a variety of digital media supported by online developments can create new models and approaches to teaching/learning has figured prominently. This paper presents a case study of how this challenge has been taken up in a unit, Political Leadership, in the Faculty of Arts. The academic teacher\u27s intentions in moving to a completely digital approach are examined along with students\u27 experiences of learning in the subject. Issues are considered from the experience. <br /
The Decline and Resurgence of Turkish Islamism: The Story of Tayyip ErdoÄanâs AKP
For decades, Turkish Islamists have failed to attract the votes of large sections of society and remained marginal. As a result of this failure to come to power, and due to domestic and international constraints and windows of opportunities, they have declared that they have jettisoned Islamism. Many Turkish Muslims whose religious disposition was shaped by the pluralistic urban Ottoman experience and small-town Anatolian traditionalism, and by the contesting currents of cosmopolitan pluralism and rural social conservatism, voted in favour of these former Islamists who have become âMuslim Democratsâ. This paper elaborates on the genealogy of Turkish Islamists and their political trajectories and argues that when the forces and constraints of domestic and external social, political and economic conditions disappeared and the opportunities derived from being Muslim Democrats no longer existed, the former Islamists easily returned to their original ideology, showing that despite assertions to the contrary their respect for democracy and pluralism had not truly been internalised. This paper also aims to demonstrate that similar to other authoritarian populists, Erdoganists perceive the state and its leader as more important than anything else and as being above everything else, which has culminated in a personality cult and sanctification of the state. As long as Turkeyâs economy continued to boom, almost everyone was happy that Turkey could readily market the âMuslim Democratsâ story to the whole world for a long period as a major success story, or as an âexemplary Muslim countryâ or âmodelâ. Yet, Middle Eastern elites and Western forces got carried away and learnt the hard way just how naive their view was in perhaps the first great transformation movement of the twenty-first century â the Arab Spring. Likewise, the Turkish Spring turned all too quickly towards autumn and then winter
Carbon capture and storage: Designing the legal and regulatory framework for New Zealand
The purpose of this Report is to identify the best possible legal framework for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in New Zealand. The Report is of a study funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment under research contract UOWX1204.
The aim of the research was to provide a comprehensive framework for the development of law and policy to govern CCS in New Zealand. The methodology involved an analysis of the existing law and policy as it applies to CCS, assessment of any barriers, and a comparison with law in selected other jurisdictions. That analysis was followed by discussion of different policy options and evaluation of the possibility of addressing CCS in the existing legal framework. Recommendations were made for law reform on each aspect of the subject.
The Report is concerned with the legal framework for geological storage or sequestration of carbon dioxide (COâ). It does not address biosequestration, where COâ is accumulated, temporarily or permanently, in forests or other vegetation. Nor is it concerned with the sequestration of COâ in oceans, or with climate engineering

âNOT A RELIGIOUS STATEâ A study of three Indonesian religious leaders on the relation of state and religion
This article explores the concept of a âsecular stateâ offered by three
Indonesian religious leaders: a Catholic priest, Nicolaus Driyarkara
(1913â1967), and two Muslim intellectuals who were also state
officials, Mukti Ali (1923â2004) and Munawir Sjadzali (1925â2004).
All three, who represented the immediate generation after the
revolution for Indonesian independence from the Dutch (1945),
defended the legitimacy of a secular state for Indonesia based on
the state ideology Pancasila (Five Principles of Indonesia). In doing
so, they argued that a religious state, for example an Islamic state,
is incompatible with a plural nation that has diverse cultures,
faiths, and ethnicities. The three also argued that the state should
remain neutral about its citizensâ faith and should not be
dominated by a single religion, i.e. Islam. Instead, the state is
obliged to protect all religions embraced by Indonesians. This
argument becomes a vital foundation in the establishment of
Indonesiaâs trajectory of unique âsecularisationâ. Whilst these three
intellectuals opposed the idea of establishing a religious or Islamic
state in Indonesia, it was not because they envisioned the decline
of the role of religion in politics and the public domain but rather
that they regarded religiosity in Indonesia as vital in nation
building within a multi-religious society. In particular, the two
Muslim leaders used religious legitimacy to sustain the New
Orderâs political stability, and harnessed state authority to
modernise the Indonesian Islamic community

Building Dynamic Service Analytics Capabilities for the Digital Marketplace
Service firms are now interacting with customers through a multitude of channels or touchpoints. This progression into the digital realm is leading to an explosion of data, and warranting advanced analytic methods to manage service systems. Known as big data analytics, these methods harness insights to deliver, serve, and enhance the customer experience in the digital marketplace. Although global economies are becoming service-oriented, little attention is paid to the role of analytics in service systems. As such, drawing on a systematic literature review and thematic analysis of 30 in-depth interviews, this study aims to understand the nature of service analytics to identify its capability dimensions. Integrating the diverse areas of research on service systems, big data and dynamic capability theories, we propose a dynamic service analytics capabilities (DSAC) framework consisting of management, technology, talent, data governance, model development, and service innovation capability. We also propose a future research agenda to advance DSAC research for the emerging service systems in the digital marketplace
