Buku ini menampilkan kepada pembaca sebuah naskhah perundangan adat negeri Kedah yang diberi judul Undang-Undang Adat Negeri Kedah yang terhasil pada tahun 1893 dan masih belum diterbitkan. Isi kandungannya memerikan pelbagai maklumat penting tentang amalan undang-undang adat kesultanan Kedah pada abad ke-19, dan dalam masa yang sama mengetengahkan nilai sosiobudaya, ekonomi dan aturan kehidupan seharian masyarakat. Naskhah undang-undang tersebut juga kaya dengan nasihat adab pemerintahan mengikut ajaran Islam, kedudukan wanita, keanekaragaman bahasa dan sebagainya. Berdasarkan hukum-hakam yang tercatat dalam naskhah tersebut, dapat dibuat suatu gambaran tentang permasalahan sosial yang berlaku di Kedah sekitar abad ke-19 hingga pelbagai bentuk undang-undang telah diwujudkan bagi membendung dan mengatasi permasalahan sosial tersebut. Keunikan naskhah Undang-Undang Adat Negeri Kedah semakin terserlah melalui identiti pemiliknya, Ku Din Ku Meh yang pernah berkhidmat sebagai Penguasa Penjara di Alor Setar, Kedah pada zaman pemerintahan Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Syah (1881–1943), dan seterusnya menjadi Gabenor di Setul (Satun). Hal ini memperlihatkan bahawa naskhah perundangan adat masih memainkan peranan dalam sistem perundangan di negeri Kedah pada abad ke-19 bagi memelihara keharmonian dan keutuhan kerajaan dan negara. Naskhah Undang-Undang Adat Negeri Kedah merupakan suatu pencapaian penting bagi sejarah dan ketamadunan hidup serta ketinggian hasil persuratan di negeri Kedah yang perlu diketengahkan kepada masyarakat hari ini.

Politik kenegaraan Melayu memerikan kepandaian ilmu pentadbiran negara yang asli lahir dalam sejarah institusi kesultanan Melayu, suatu bentuk ilmu pengetahuan tentang cara mentadbir dan melaksanakan pemerintahan negara yang berpaksikan prinsip kedaulatan dan ketuanan Melayu. Dalam sistem tradisi ini, raja selaku ketua negara, agama dan adat istiadat menjadi pusat kekuasaan dengan dibantu oleh sekumpulan pembesar yang menjalankan pelbagai tugas pentadbiran kerajaan yang berhubungan terus dengan rakyat jelata. Teras kepada politik kenegaraan Melayu ialah raja yang bertakhta dan memiliki kuasa melaksanakan pemerintahan negara. Takhta dan kuasa menjadi inti pati atau nukleus kepada politik kenegaraan Melayu dan mengisi sebahagian besar ruang persuratan istana Melayu. Pewarisan takhta berasal usul daripada wa’ad raja dengan rakyat seperti yang tersurat dalam Sulalatus Salatin yang membentuk arketaip politik kenegaraan Melayu sehingga ke hari ini. Sementara kuasa dan kekuasaan pula amat berhubungan dengan kelahiran undang-undang dan amalan adat istiadat yang mengukuhkan atau mengawal keutuhan takhta. Sejarah penulisan buku yang khusus tentang panduan politik kenegaraan Melayu boleh disusuri semula melalui karya ketatanegaraan yang lahir di istana Aceh Darussalam pada abad ke-17, seperti Nasihat al-Muluk, Taj al-Salatin dan Bustan al-Salatin. Karya yang menerima pengaruh daripada tradisi politik kenegaraan Islam tersebut mengandungi pelbagai panduan bertulis tentang pembentukan keperibadian raja dan pembesar dan berperanan sebagai cermin adab kepimpinan mapan kepada mereka dalam melaksanakan pemerintahan negara. Hakikatnya hampir semua karya yang memerikan sejarah politik kesultanan Melayu lahir pada zaman penjajahan Barat di Alam Melayu dan hal ini menimbulkan persoalan tentang tujuan tersurat dan tersirat penulisan karya-karya tersebut sebagai benteng ketahanan politik kenegaraan Melayu. Karya-karya besar yang terhasil pada satu-satu zaman mengandungi kepelbagaian maklumat tentang konsep negara, tokoh pemimpin, suara rakyat dan pengajaran moral yang berhubungan dengan politik yang berlaku pada masa lalu. Karya-karya ini sewajarnya terus menjadi sumber rujukan sehingga ke hari ini, sama ada daripada sudut pendekatan sejarah persuratan yang diakronik atau sinkronik. Gagasan ini memerlukan penelitian filologi yang berterusan terhadap karya Melayu yang masih wujud dalam bentuk manuskrip Jawi yang berada di dalam dan di luar negara. Kini, semua hasil persuratan yang lahir pada abad ke-15 sehingga awal abad ke-20 yang memperlihatkan kekuatan isi dan kehalusan seni kepengarangan Melayu telah disanjung oleh masyarakat sebagai Karya Agung Melayu, sekali gus meninggikan teras politik kenegaraan Melayu dalam menghadapi cabaran kehidupan pada abad ke-21 ini.

This book deals with the current research interests, methods, thingking and trend in Malaysian historical writing.The individual essays focus not only on new historical sources and methodologies, but also on debates between different schools of Malaysian histrorians on conceptual issues and on ways to reconstruct the Malaysian past. For a long time the primary object of Malaysian historical studies has been the nation-state, but some of the historians in this volume now argue that local history, social history, economic history and the role of women, minorities anad marginalized groups like trishaw riders are equally important concerns within Malaysia's socially diverse and multi-ethnic society. The essays also discuss challenges Malaysian historians face from new movements like post-modernism in representing historical truth and objectivity.

"This thesis is a study of traditional narratives which are recited and received both by villagers and pilgrims in regard to the local pilgrimage (ziarah) tradition in Pamijahan, particularly at Shaykh Abdul Muhyi's sacred site. The narratives will be examined as part of the popular beliefs of Priangan Timur or the eastern part of West Java. Locating them in the wider context of Sundanese oral and written traditions, my investigation will illuminate the nature and function of such traditions in the particular case of Pamijahan. The research will elucidate the role of the kuncen, the custodians of sacred sites, as guides and spiritual brokers who maintain the narratives. It will also be important to investigate the villagers' as well as visitors' view of the kuncen in regard to local pilgrimage. The study will also enhance comparative studies concerned with networks of holy men or saints (wali) on the island of Java (Pemberton 1994; Fox 1991: 20). I want to argue that people respond to, and participate in, saint veneration on pragmatic grounds. However, these grounds are subject to interpretation and contestation in time and space. In redefining their narratives, various individuals, such as custodians, Sufis, and even to some extent government functionaries, are considered to be authoritative persons by virtue of their capacity to conduct and manipulate narratives. As this argument develops, it will be important to understand the modes of signification in the village."--Provided by publisher.

ICCEDI is an international seminar that is held every two years organized by the Law and Citizenship Department, Faculty of Social Science Universitas Negeri Malang. The activities aim to discuss the theoretical and practical citizenship education that becomes needed for democracy in Indonesia and other countries with a view to build academic networks by gathering academics from various research institutes and universities. Citizenship education is an urgent need for the nation in order to build a civilized democracy for several reasons. Citizenship education is important for those who are politically illiterate and do not know how to work the democracy of its institutions. Another problem is the increasing political apathy, indicated by the limited involvement of citizens in the political process. These conditions show how citizenship education becomes the means needed by a democratic country like Indonesia. The book addresses a number of important issues, such as law issues, philosophy of moral values, political government, socio-cultural and Pancasila, and civic education. Finally, it offers a conceptual framework for future democracy. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners, governance, and other related stakeholders.

The book probes and examines traditional sources of royal power and control, as well as indigenous socio-political systems in the Malay world. It is focused on the north-western Malaysian Sultanate of Kedah which is acknowledged as the oldest unbroken independent kingship line in the 'Malay and Islamic world' with 1,000 years of history. Little scholarly attention has been paid to its pre-modern history, society, religion, system of government and unique geographic situation, potentially controlling both land and sea lines of communication into the remainder of Southeast Asia. It will thus provide the first comprehensive treatment in English, or other languages, on Kedah's pre-modern and nineteenth century historiography and can provide a foundation for comparative studies of the various Malay states which is presently lacking. The proposed book also sheds much needed light on a range of important topics in Malay history including: Kedah and the northern Melaka Straits history, colonial expansion and rivalry, Southeast Asian history and politics, interregional migration and the influence of the sea peoples or orang laut, traditional Malay socio-political and economic life, Islamic influences and the course of Thai-Malay relations. The book attempts to offer a new understanding, not only of Kedah, but of the political and cultural development of the entire Malay world and of its relationships with the broader forces in both its continental and maritime settings. It argues that Kedah does not seem to follow, and in fact, often seems to contradict what has been commonly been accepted as the "typical model" of the traditional Malay state. Thus it concludes that the ruling dynasty has historically exploited a wide range of unique environmental conditions, local traditions, global spiritual trends and economic forces to preserve and strengthen its political position.
