ASU - INDONESIAN INSTITUTIONS EXCHANGE PROGRAM
ON
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
MANAGEMENT, PERSONNEL AND PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS
The director of the project or Principle Investigator (PI) will be Dr. Peter
Suwarno, of the Program for Southeast Asian Studies and the Department of Languages
and Literatures. At ASU, the co-PIs will include Drs. Eric Thor and Philip Stiles
from the Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management, ASU East as
well as Drs. Linell Cady and Mark Woodward from the Department of Religious
Studies at ASU.
From the Indonesian side, the Director or PI will be Dr. Abdurahman Mas'ud from
the IAIN Walisongso Semarang who is also our main contact person and helps coordinate
all activities involving all participating Indonesian institutions. The Co-director
(Co-PI) will be Dr. John Titaley of Satya Wacana Christian University (UKSW).
Dr. Raema Andreyana will be our contact person from UKSW. The representative
and contact person from IAIN Lampung will be Mr. Henry Iwansyah and the representatives
from the STAIN Lombok will be Mr. Ahmad Amir Aziz and Mr. Lukman Hakim (rector).
It should be noted that each Indonesian institution above is located in a strategic
location or a capital of a province. These institutions have been working with
local NGOs, such as the Regional Research Council (DRD) in Semarang and Percik
in Salatiga. Many NGOs such as these are active in finding suitable conflict
resolution strategies as well as pursuing issues of democratization at the local
and provincial levels. The four participating Indonesian institutions will invite
local NGOs to participate in some of the activities of the project. This way,
the project will have a greater impact on the local communities.
The project will be monitored and evaluated by Dr. Ari Pradanawati, a senior
faculty member at University of Diponegoro, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia.
In addition, as members of our team have worked successfully with the US Embassy
in Indonesia on ASU-Indonesia linkage programs, we will invite representatives
of the Embassy in Jakarta to participate in our project activities in Indonesia.
