Under the IDEA label, various discussions on a limited or open scale were held. Academics, students, NGO activists and journalists gradually began to get used to the discussions and discourses that developed in IDEA which were critical, open and sometimes experimental.<\/p>

Although it began to be known by the public as a nursery for critical thinking, IDEA did not get through its first year easily. In fact, the following year, IDEA activists who were still students at the time of its founding, one by one left Yogyakarta to work after college. The organization's pulse slowed down. However, thanks to the presence of a younger generation of activists, the pulse remained.<\/p>

In 1998, coinciding with the political upheaval in Indonesia, a new generation of IDEA activists became involved in street political activities demanding fundamental changes to the foundations of democracy in Indonesia. At the same time, the backgrounds of student activists in the IDEA community became increasingly diverse; economics, political science, and geography.<\/p>

In 1998, IDEA's activities slowly shifted from discussions and intellectual struggles to more concrete actions, without abandoning its intellectual character. The issues that IDEA cared about also became more focused; namely the issue of handling corruption and state financial policy.<\/p>

Along with the selection of the focus, IDEA's association is increasingly widespread both among NGOs and funding agencies that often require legality. To facilitate relations with external parties, it is not easy for IDEA to maintain its status as one of the wings of the Merdeka Foundation.<\/p>

So, after going through a telephone discussion with the founders of the Merdeka Foundation, Agam Fatchurrochman, Dati Fatimah, Deddy Heriyanto, Revrisond Baswir and Wahyu W. Basjir registered IDEA with a notary to obtain a legal entity for the foundation in 1999. This decision was taken considering that the umbrella institution of the Merdeka Foundation had never worked de facto since its establishment, whereas the name IDEA was much better known.<\/p>

Despite having its own legal entity, IDEA's growth apparently requires various adjustments because various pillars and institutional bases are not yet perfect. In such conditions, IDEA's activities and programs can indeed continue to be managed, but various obstacles cause many things to not be done immediately.<\/p>

Until an agreement was reached to make IDEA more flexible and open with adequate pillars of democratic decision-making. Thus, the legal status of IDEA changed from a foundation to an association with the name of the IDEA Association (Institute for Development and Economic Analysis). The change also included replacing the preposition of with for to give a more active character to the acronym IDEA.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Sejarah Perkumpulan Idea Di bawah label IDEA, berbagai diskusi dengan skala terbatas maupun terbuka diselenggarakan. Akademisi, mahasiswa, aktivis NGO dan wartawan lambat laun mulai terbiasa dengan diskusi-diskusi dan wacana yang berkembang di IDEA yang berciri kritis, terbuka dan kadang eksperimental. Meskipun mulai dikenal oleh publik sebagai persemaian pemikiran-pemikiran kritis, IDEA tidak melalui tahun pertama dengan mudah. Bahkan, pada tahun berikutnya, aktivis IDEA yang pada saat pendiriannya masih berstatus mahasiswa, satu per satu keluar dari Yogyakarta untuk bekerja selepas kuliah. Denyut organisasi melambat. Namun, berkat hadirnya generasi aktivis yang lebih muda denyut itu tetap bertahan. Pada tahun 1998, bertepatan dengan pergolakan politik di Indonesia, generasi baru aktivis IDEA terlibat kegiatan-kegiatan politik di jalanan yang menuntut perubahan mendasar pada sendi-sendi demokrasi di Indonesia. Bersamaan dengan itu, latar belakang aktivis mahasiswa yang ada dalam komunitas IDEA makin beragam; ekonomi, ilmu politik, dan geografi. Tahun 1998 dan aktivitas IDEA perlahan-lahan bergeser dari diskusi-diskusi dan pergulatan pemikiran ke arah tindakan-tindakan yang lebih nyata, tanpa meninggalkan karakter pemikirannya. Masalah yang menjadi kepedulian IDEA juga makin terfokus; yakni persoalan penanganan korupsi dan kebijakan keuangan negara. Seiring dengan pemilihan fokus tersebut, pergaulan IDEA makin luas baik di kalangan NGO maupun funding agencies yang kerapkali mensyaratkan legalitas. Untuk memudahkan hubungan dengan pihak-pihak eksternal, sangat tidak mudah bagi IDEA untuk bertahan dalam statusnya sebagai salah satu sayap dari Yayasan Merdeka. Maka, setelah melalui diskusi per telepon dengan para pendiri Yayasan Merdeka, Agam Fatchurrochman, Dati Fatimah, Deddy Heriyanto, Revrisond Baswir dan Wahyu W. Basjir mencatatkan IDEA di notaris untuk mendapatkan badan hukum yayasan pada tahun 1999. Keputusan ini diambil dengan pertimbangan lembaga payung Yayasan Merdeka sejak didirikan tidak pernah secara de facto bekerja sedangkan nama IDEA jauh lebih dikenal. Kendati sudah memiliki badan hukum sendiri, pertumbuhan IDEA ternyata membutuhkan berbagai penyesuaian karena berbagai pilar dan basis kelembagaan belum sempurna. Dalam kondisi demikian, kegiatan dan program-program IDEA memang terus bisa dikelola namun berbagai kendala menyebabkan banyak hal tidak bisa dilakukan dengan segera. Hingga sampailah kesepakatan untuk menjadikan IDEA lebih fleksibel dan terbuka dengan pilar-pilar pengambilan keputusan secara demokratik yang memadai. Maka, berubahlah status badan hukum IDEA dari yayasan menjadi perkumpulan dengan nama Perhimpunan IDEA (Institute for Development and Economic Analysis). Perubahan itu mencakup juga penggantian preposisi of oleh for untuk memberikan watak yang lebih aktif pada kepanjangan akronim IDEA.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_theme","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1074","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1074"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2069,"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1074\/revisions\/2069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/perkumpulanidea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
