Indonesia Has Played a Heroic Role in the Transformation of Asia
I have no doubts that Indonesia will be part of this great transformation of Asia. Indeed, Indonesia has already played a heroic role in the transformation of Asia. lt has successfully made one of the most difficult transitions any society has to make: the transition to full democracy. This is a remarkable story which has not been fully understood by the world.

Suharto Escapes Trial, But Indonesia Does Not
This is the original version of the article that appears on the back page of TIME magazine (Asia edition Vol. 171, No. 6, February 11,2008). The edited version is published under the title "The Soeharto Effect". Different emphasis, related message. Suharto did a lot of good, but his corruption and atrocities did permanent damage to Indonesia. TIME omitted references to the implications for today's public.

A Resilient Indonesia Moves Beyond Suharto
From one of the most centralized and controlled countries in the region, it has transformed itself into one of the most decentralized, free, open and self-regulating. From a brutal and corrupt regime under the heel of the military, it has become the standard bearer of democracy in Southeast Asia. It stands out for its political liberalism at a time when coups and coup attempts have discredited the region’s two exemplars of democracy, Thailand and the Philippines.

The Invisible Giant of Southeast Asia
While the outside world gets excited over the economic rise of China and India, it seldom stops to notice the equally remarkable transformation of Indonesian politics in the 10 years since the downfall of the 30-year authoritarian rule of President Suharto.

Potential Production of Second Generation Biofuels
Indonesia has a huge potential to produce second generation biofuel that can be produced from waste, residue, and non-crop plants. Second generation biofuel does not compete with sugarcane, corn, wheat, palmoil, or other plants that require large area of land such as jatropha.

Bahan Bakar Alternatif Potensi Produksi “Biofuel” Generasi II
Indonesia memiliki potensi besar untuk memproduksi generasi kedua biofuel yang dapat dihasilkan dari limbah, residu, serta tanaman nonpangan. Generasi kedua biofuel ini tidak "memakan" tanaman tebu, jagung, kedelai, minyak sawit, ataupun bahan baku yang membutuhkan area lahan seperti biji jarak pagar.

RUU Bahasa
Ini bukan kurangnya nasionalisme. Bukan juga pemujaan pada Barat. Budaya pop Barat merupakan barang sehari-hari yang tidak istimewa seperti halnya generasi terdahulu. Persoalannya, banyak dari kita yang malas berpikir dalam berbahasa. Apa pun yang lewat di benak dituturkan kepada orang lain tanpa dicerna dan diolah.

Konstitusionalisasi Kontrak Perdata
Guna menyelamatkan dan menjamin keberlanjutan kehidupan bersama, pemerintah harus melakukan intervensi yang adil dan patut guna melindungi kepentingan publik dan hak-hak fundamental rakyat. Hal ini dapat dilakukan melalui pengkajian kembali doktrin kebebasan berkontrak dan konstitusionalisasi kontrak-kontrak perdata.
