In 1949, after a four-year long armed struggle, Indonesia finally achieved effective control over its entire territory, with the exception of West Irian (now Papua). Nevertheless, the young nation faced serious political and economic problems. The Japanese occupation and the long fight against the Dutch had seriously impoverished the Indonesian people. The new government also faced armed insurrections and secessionist movements in various regions such as Aceh, West Java, South Sulawesi, and the Moluccas, which threatened the country's territorial integrity. In late January 1950, scarcely one month after the transfer of sovereignty, Raymond Westerling (a rogue member of the Dutch army) along with a few hundred troops under his command, carried out an audacious but quixotic plan to occupy Bandung and Jakarta. Although this plan immediately failed, it increased the sense of vulnerability of the Indonesian government.

The article analyzes the psychological basis of the theory and economic policy of libertarianism, as contained in the book by A. Greenspan "The Age of Turbulence", clarifies the strengths and weaknesses of this doctrine that led to its discredit in 2008. It presents a new understanding of liberalization in 1980-1990s as a process of institutional transformation at the micro and meso levels, implemented by politicians and entrepreneurs with predatory and opportunistic mentality. That process caused, on the one hand, the acceleration of growth, on the other hand - the erosion of informal foundations of a market system. With psychology and ideology of libertarianism, it is impossible to perceive real macro risks generated at the micro level, which lead to a systemic crisis, and to develop measures to prevent it.

The unequal distribution of the population in Indonesia is caused by the concentration of the population of Java, which led the government to create a population movement program called transmigration. The types of transmigration carried out by the Indonesian government are general transmigration and self-employment transmigration. West Borneo, which is the destination for transmigration, is Rasau Jaya District, Kubu Raya Regency. Of the six villages in the Rasau Jaya sub-district, there are only four villages that are the placement areas for transmigrants, namely Rasau Jaya Satu Village, Rasau Jaya Dua Village, Rasau Jaya Tiga Village and Bintang Mas Village. Rasau Jaya Tiga Village in 1975-1977 became the most transmigration destination area because it had the largest land area among other villages. The method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach and the object under study is the transmigrant who came from West Java.

The main goal of this paper is to discuss Brazil’s economic situation in the recent period. Although the analysis is centred on the current Brazilian business conditions (known as the <em>conjuntura econômica</em> in the Portuguese language), the paper covers the period after 2014, during which the country’s economic problems have significantly worsened. The remainder of the paper is divided into the following sections. Section 2 seeks to analyze and discuss the main structural and short-term causes that explain the worsening of Brazil’s economic situation in 2014, as well as the deep recession that followed it. Section 3 critically analyzes the macroeconomic policy adopted by Temer’s government, assuming implicitly that there are both fiscal and monetary policy alternatives. Section 4 concludes and discusses economic policy alternatives for growth recovery of the Brazilian economy, other than those chosen and adopted by Temer’s economic team in 2016 and onwards.

Pertentangan terhadap keberadaan Jemaah Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) hingga hari ini masih terus terjadi. Pertentangan ini dilakukan atas dasar Peraturan Gubernur Jawa Barat No. 12 Tahun 2011 tentang Larangan Kegiatan Jemaat Ahmadiyah di Jawa Barat, fatwa MUI dan hasil Muktamar Muhammadiyah ke-18 di Solo. Walaupun demikian, JAI pada dasarnya telah memperoleh pengakuan yang sah dari pemerintah Indonesia berdasarkan Surat Keputusan Menteri Kehakiman No.JA.5/23/13 13 Maret 1953. Karena pertentangan-pertentangan yang terus terjadi, JAI hingga hari ini belum diterima secara damai dan seringkali menerima tindakan diskriminasi. Di dalam artikel, penulis menganalisis penyebab utama terjadinya konflik antara Front Pembela Islam (FPI) dengan JAI di Tasikmalaya. Di dalam tulisan ini pula, penulis mengajukan cara lain yang dapat dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan konflik yang terjadi karena upaya-upaya advokasi litigasi sudah tidak mampu mengendalikan konflik antar keduanya.Kata Kunci: Konflik, JAI, FPI, AdvokasiConflict concerning the existence of Indonesian Ahmadiyah congregation (JAI) still happens today.

This study is conducted in three provinces, West Java, South Sulawesi and West Nusa Tenggara, which represent different cultural background, using secondary data namely marital verification forms (MVF). From methodological point of view this study finds that MVF can be used as data sources in analysing age of marriage inspiteof using population census or national surveys.The result of previous studies have not been confirmed by this study. Mean age at first marriage in West Java is not the lowest, but is West Nusa Tenggara. In addition South Sulawesi is always the highest. Cultural backgrounds such as dowery in South Sulawesi which is the highest among the provinces and the tradition of delopement in West Nusa Tenggara are very important in explaining the variation of age at first marriage. However education has also an important role as independent variable for age at first marriage.
