Discourse on Islam and politics during the 20th century is inseparable with related scholarly publications about Indonesia, taking time on that period. Reviewing "Indonesia", a journal issued by Southeast Asia Program Publications at Cornell University, this writing mainly aims to report the notion of how Islam and politics were being represented in the international scholarly works. Three categorizations of sub-themes are gained by evaluating two numbers of "Indonesia", they are (1) group and hierarchy, (2) perception and knowledge dynamics, and (3) public figure. The categorizations are used as a framework in analyzing how the notion of Islam and politics was internationally perceived through scholarly works issued during that period. The result shows that the impression of the notion of Islam and politics tends to be perceived as a power for promoting groups formation. The power distribution is another critical substance which can be derived from the group formation. The role of religion, to this extent, can easily be used as a legitimate source for any critical political decision. Societal segregation can be considered as a result of a certain kind of discrepancies in the realm of power distribution among several groups of people. In other words, the role of Islam is very critical in shaping the political expression of the people in Indonesia. Keywords:Islam and politics, Group and Hierarchy, Public Figure

Ideas about memory as the source of human subjectivity developed throughout European liberal democracies in the first half of the 20th century, stimulated by war trauma and universal suffrage. Two archives of memory – psychoanalytic case histories and oral history – reveal the workings of generational memory in the formation of welfare states and social democracy. Generation is understood as people born into similar social environments, coming under similar influences at a particular historical time.

In, the beginning of the 20th century, Pila was a provincial administrative centre and a rail junction. In the late 20th century, of the will of the communist decision-makers, it became the capital of Pila Voivodeship. Political transformation of 1989, and, as a result, Pila's degradation back to the smalltown administrative centre has led to a diminishing of Pila's economical attractiveness. Actions undertaken by the local government and its cooperation, both with the neighbouring localities and the economical community made it possible to control the degradation process. Concurrently, the attempts to seek new areas of activity, such as building a new research centre and numerous economical initiatives funded by the region and the EU have given the local community an inspiration to make a change and have increased the social potential of the area.
