Abstract
This article examines the resurgence and development of transnational Islamic movements in the post-reform era by analysing the case of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI). It argues that HTI’s emergence and rapid expansion is intertwined with global and Indonesian socio-political contexts. While the global factor of the Iranian revolution of 1979 inspired the revival of Islam as a social, political, and cultural force in Muslim countries, the changing political situation in Indonesia — from authoritarianism to the reform era — supported the growth and expansion of HTI in major universities in Indonesia. Although HTI gradually grew after its arrival in 1980s, it only emerged into the public view in 2000 when it hosted the first International Caliphate Conference in Jakarta. HTI's emergence was part of a broader proliferation of Islamic radical groups, which took place following the end of the Soeharto regime in May 1998. This article discusses how this movement operated underground through preaching groups on campuses, established media operations, and organised rallies in support of a global caliphate in Indonesia. By looking at national and local levels, this study suggests that, in the newly democratic political sphere, HTI won the support of ordinary Indonesian people by engaging with national and local issues as part of efforts to achieve its agenda of establishing shari'a and a global caliphate.
本文通过分析印尼解放党(Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, HTI)的案例,考察了改革后时代跨国伊斯兰运动的复苏和发展。报告认为,HTI的出现和迅速扩张与全球和印尼的社会政治背景交织在一起。1979年伊朗革命的全球因素激发了伊斯兰教作为穆斯林国家的社会、政治和文化力量的复兴,而印度尼西亚不断变化的政治局势——从威权主义到改革时代——支持了HTI在印度尼西亚主要大学的增长和扩张。虽然HTI在20世纪80年代到来后逐渐发展壮大,但直到2000年在雅加达主办了第一届国际哈里发会议,它才进入公众视野。HTI的出现是1998年5月苏哈托政权倒台后伊斯兰激进组织大规模扩散的一部分。这篇文章讨论这个运动如何在地下运作,透过校园布道团体、媒体运作,以及组织集会来支持印尼的全球哈里发。从国家和地方层面来看,这项研究表明,在新兴的民主政治领域,HTI通过参与国家和地方问题,作为实现其建立伊斯兰教法和全球哈里发国议程的一部分,赢得了普通印尼人民的支持。
