Separatist Conflict in Indonesia

The long-distance politics of the Acehnese diaspora

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book describes, analyses and interprets more than thirty years of long-distance politics exercised by the Acehnese diaspora and the diasporans attempts to influence Aceha (TM)s homeland developments in the lead-up to, during and after the internal conflict that afflicted the region between 1976 and 2005. While other scholars have dealt with internal social, political, historical and cultural aspects of the small-scale conflict in Aceh, they have only touched marginally upon external factors related to the Acehnese overseas and their impact on homeland politics. Studying the Acehnese diaspora, located mainly in Malaysia, Scandinavia, the USA and Australia, and its aspirations, socio-political activities as well as cultural and economic performance, Missbach argues that the Acehnese diaspora has been of fundamental importance to conflict and politics within Aceh.

The socio-political activities of the Acehnese diaspora, located mainly in Malaysia, Scandinavia, the USA and Australia, have been of fundamental importance to conflict and politics within Aceh. The intensity of the relations between the diaspora and the homeland was mainly determined by the conflict that afflicted the region between 1976 and 2005, and the resulting hardship was experienced by Acehnese both at home and abroad. This book looks at more than thirty years of long-distance politics exercised by the Acehnese diaspora both during the conflict and beyond. It interprets the social, political and cultural aspects of the small-scale conflict in Aceh, as well as focusing on the external factors related to the Acehnese overseas and their impact on homeland politics. The book goes on to contribute to the argument that the Acehnese diaspora had a significant impact on those who remained in Aceh. By focusing on the triangular relationships between the homeland, the host countries and the Acehnese diaspora, the book draws attention to the exchange of people, ideas, and financial and material resources that has occurred. It is a useful contribution to Southeast Asian Politics and Diaspora Studies.
