Indonesia’s Maritime Interest Cooperation and Capacity Building

Arsyad Rear Admiral TNI (Ret) Rosihan

Editorial: LPMI

Sinopsis

This book is a compilation of various writings from seminars conducted by Admiral TNI (ret.) Rosihan Arsyad, which discussed various maritime problems in Indonesia, especially the South China Sea issue.

Historically, Indonesia wielded significant influence in Southeast Asia. This was made possible by the formidable maritime forces of the Sriwijaya Kingdom in the 7th century and the Majapahit Kingdom in the 12th century. During their peak, these two kingdoms were able to assert their sovereignty, power, and influence over a vast region that encompassed an area even larger than present-day Indonesia.

Several issues are simmering in the South China Sea, potentially making it another hotspot in Asia, alongside North Korea's nuclear program and the contentious relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan. The South China Sea, a highly strategic maritime area, frequently attracts the attention of major powers vying for control. Lingering overlapping territorial claims further compound the situation, often posing threats to the peace and stability of the region.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) established in 1982 provides clear guidelines for determining a nation's maritime boundaries. However, the introduction of the new concepts of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the Continental Shelf has made it increasingly challenging and complex to accurately define these boundaries, leading to potential ambiguity. This complexity allows for the possibility of multiple interpretations of each country's EEZ and Continental Shelf boundaries.

Two primary issues dominate the South China Sea. Firstly, the issue of overlapping sovereignty claims arose following China's assertion of significant control over the region, claiming it as part of its sovereign territory. Secondly, concerns revolve around maritime security in the South China Sea. One potential scenario involves the disruption of marine traffic, which could escalate into armed conflict due to the overlapping claims. Additionally, there are latent threats to lower-level maritime security in the region.

My Bondage and My Freedom

Frederick Douglass

"I was a slave yesterday, and am a man today."

In this gripping and sophisticated sequel to his first narrative, Frederick Douglass provides a panoramic view of his life. My Bondage and My Freedom doesn't just chronicle the brutality of the plantation; it explores the psychological mechanisms of oppression and the profound intellectual awakening that led Douglass to strike for his freedom. From his childhood on Maryland's Eastern Shore to his rise as a world-renowned orator and leader of the abolitionist movement, Douglass's story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit. He courageously exposes the "slave-holding religion" of the South and the persistent prejudices of the North, offering a roadmap for justice that remains startlingly relevant.

A Voice of Radical Intellectualism: Unlike his first book, this volume shows Douglass as a fully independent thinker who has broken away from his early mentors to forge his own path. He analyzes how slavery dehumanizes both the enslaved and the master, arguing that freedom is not merely the absence of chains, but the presence of equal rights and self-sovereignty.

The Power of Literacy: Douglass famously recounts how learning to read was his "pathway from slavery to freedom." He describes the mental transformation that occurred when he realized that the power to describe his own experience was the first step toward reclaiming his humanity.

Why It Is Essential: My Bondage and My Freedom is a foundational text of American identity. It is a work of high literary merit and a searing indictment of systemic injustice. To read Douglass is to witness the transformation of a "piece of property" into one of the most eloquent and influential voices in history.

Viral Cultures - Activist...

Marika Cifor

Serving as a vital supplement to the existing scholarship on AIDS activism of the 1980s and 1990s, Viral Cultures is the first book to critically examine the archives that have helped preserve and create the legacy of those radical activities. Marika Cifor charts the efforts activists, archivists, and curators have made to document the work of AIDS activism in the United States and the infrastructure developed to maintain it, safeguarding the material for future generations to remember these social movements and to revitalize the epidemic's past in order to remake the present and future of AIDS. 
 
 
 
Drawing on large institutional archives such as the New York Public Library, as well as those developed by small, community-based organizations, this work of archival ethnography details how contemporary activists, artists, and curators use these records to build on the cultural legacy of AIDS activism to challenge the conditions of injustice that continue to undergird current AIDS crises. Cifor analyzes the various power structures through which these archives are mediated, demonstrating how ideology shapes the nature of archival material and how it is accessed and used. Positioning vital nostalgia as both a critical faculty and a generative practice, this book explores the act of saving this activist past and reanimating it in the digital age.
