Introduction
From February 20th to 28th, 2010, we participated in the International Joint Project in Indonesia under Prof. Goto’s supervision. As the purpose of our visit was to strengthen the relations and cooperation with universities in Indonesia and various organizations such as Japanese international assistance organization and local private organization, our activities conducted in Indonesia was varied in types and places. From 20th to 24th, we stayed in Jakarta. In Indonesia University, we had a great opportunity to discuss with Indonesian students about various topics, from political and cultural relationship between Japan and Indonesia, to our look towards East Timor and Indonesian coffee. Also, it was excellent opportunity that we could recognize the civil society’s movement that tries to dig up the history or memory of past incidents in Indonesia, at Indonesian Social History Institute.
Furthermore, it was exceptional experience to visit presidential palace and talked with Mr. Ginanjar Kartasasmita, who is one of the members of the Presidential Advisory Council in Indonesia and also teaches at GSAPS. By way of hearing the politician’s view, we could grasp the current political figure of Indonesia. In addition, it was worth our while to talk with staffs at Jakarta branch offices of JICA, Japan Foundation, JETRO and Nihon Keizai Shimbun, to understand the present Japanese ODA projects in Indonesia, a growing cultural relationship between Japan and Indonesia, and Indonesian political situation from local journalistic point of view. Followed by Jakarta, we moved to Bandung. On February 25th, we held a workshop in Padjadjalan University. For GSAPS students, it was a very valuable moment sharing their ideas lively and freely with Indonesian students about human rights related issue in Ache, economic/trade issue, development cooperation and historical perception.
On February 26th, we went back to Jakarta and visited Institute for Policy Research and Advocacy (ELSAM). Here we could increase the knowledge of local human rights situation in Indonesia and related NGOs’ activities. Following that, we flew to Bali and visited Mitra Bali on February 27th, on purpose to comprehend its activities which help local artisans’ life and living by introducing fair trade, with being aware of sustainability.
Lastly, on behalf of the members, I would like to thank all of the people who kindly supported us in this project. “Terima kasih banyak!”

Indonesian Social History Institute Visit
Established in 2003, Indonesian Social History Institute (in Indonesian, Institut Sejarah Social Indonesia: ISSI) is a private research institute located in Jakarta, which aims to promote social history in Indonesia, such as the history regarding September 30th incidents in 1965, women’s movement and Tionghoa (Chinese Indonesian) etc., particularly by using method of oral history. In the evening on February 23rd, we were warmly welcomed at ISSI. As we entered inside of the institute, we firstly got surprised with the numbers of the books and documents in book shelves. Ms. Erlijn, one of the ISSI staffs, told us that ISSI holds about 2500 titles of books, papers, reports and magazines on Indonesian (and also East Timorese) history.
After Ms. Erlijn explained what ISSI does and endeavors to achieve, each GSAPS member presented their academic interest towards Indonesia. Fortunately, Prof. John Roosa, who teaches at the Department of History in University of British Colombia (Canada) was also one of those present as a cofounder of ISSI, we could have detailed comments from him on September 30th related incidents, Chinese Indonesian related issue, and historicization of collective memory.
Although the time was limited, it was worth while skimming through the documents and books kept in the institute at the end. Visiting ISSI made us recognize the Indonesian civil society’s movement, which tries to dig up the memories among Indonesian people who have historically notable and on occasion, very traumatic experience in the past.

Workshop at Padjadjaran University
Padjadjaran University (UNPAD) locates in Bandung, a beautiful highland city and famous for 1955 Asian-African Conference (Bandung Conference). Waseda University has long historical relations with Padjadjaran University since 1960’s, with first exchange of a student, late Prof. Masuda Ato, from Waseda University.
The workshop was held on February 25, 2010, at Iwa Koesoema Soemantri campus, which named after the nationalist educator and founder of UNPAD (イワ・クスマ・スマントリ（後藤乾一訳）『インドネシア民族主義の源流: イワ・クスマ・スマントリ自伝』早稲田大学出版部, 2003 [1975])
Four students from GSAPS presented their papers to faculty and students of UNPAD. Though it was coincided with the last day of four-day graduate ceremony, many students, both graduate and senior undergraduate, from Departments of Development Economics and International Relations participated in it. Presentations from GSAPS students were:
Mizutani Jade Mali, “Transforming Aceh into a Verandah of peace: NGOs/CSOs networks and the challenges of the human rights agenda from conflict to post-conflict transitional justice”
Kubota Fuzuki, “Relationship between Japan and Indonesia: Primary Commodity Trade”
Kawaguchi Jun, “The Possibility of developing South to South Cooperation in Education Development sector”
Takahashi Shigehito, “Education, Memories and Remembering: Asia-Pacific War and Japan’s relation to neighboring countries”
Topics of presentations were wide-ranged, varied from Human Rights issue to trade/economy, development cooperation and historical perceptions. Lively exchange of ideas through question/answer and comments from Indonesian side followed the presentations. It was good opportunity for GSAPS students to have Indonesian students’ response directly on each one’s theme.
At the closing, both exchanged “souvenirs”, traditional music instruments, angkulung, from UNPAD and Prof. Goto’s work, “Returning to Asia”: Japan-Indonesia relations 1930s-1942 from Waseda University.
