Arab Spring di Timur Tengah dan Getarannya di Indonesia: Refleksi Sosio-Politik

Abstract

This article discusses the Arab spring and its effects in Indonesia. The discourse which is related to the Middle East revolution widely being topic in either electronic or printed mass media has showed not only a consti- tutive but also a constituted discourse. It is called constitutive because the Arab spring leads to practices that anticipate the effects or consequences of the turbulence which factually happened in the Middle East. However, it is constituted discourse, for it is created by perceptions that are rooted from social events, social practices, and social structures in Indonesia; that is mainly the experience of a transition from the New Order to the Reform Era which is assumed not too far different.
