Purpose: This article attempts to examine the point of the meeting by taking the case of Yogyakarta Palace as a point of discussion. Methodology: From the discussion about the process and the meaning of Islamization of Javanese culture and the indigenization of Islam, it can be seen that the core concept in the politics of Yogyakarta Palace, as a representation of Javanese Islamic politics, is Islam, because the Palace is a manifestation as well as a representative and subordinate of the divine power. Result: The use of the title of "Senopati ing Alaga Abdurrahman Sayyidin Panatagama Khalifatullah" by sultans in Yogyakarta is not without meaning. This title shows and proves the above assumptions. In the perspective of state politics, Yogyakarta does not separate between state and religion, between din (religion) and dawlah (state). The indigenization of Islam in the context of the Yogyakarta tradition has reached the harmonization of Islamic normatively and the historicity of human culture. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: The meeting of two cultures often leads to two choices, elimination or acculturation. This also applied to the meeting between Islam and Javanese culture. One aspect that experienced a long process in the Islamization of Java was related to political and power issues.

The article traces the trajectories of Islamic politics in Indonesia and Malaysia in relation to the changing political economy of these two countries. The approach adopted is to understand Islamic politics less on the basis of Islamic doctrine, or conflicts over its interpretation, than in connection with the changing social bases of politics, the context established by capitalist economic transformations, the evolution of the post-colonial state from the Cold War and its aftermath, and of crises of political economy in the 1980s and 1990s. The exercise reveals important convergences and divergences in trajectories that help to explain the complex historical processes which have shaped Islamic politics in these two cases and possibly beyond. It also reveals the entanglement of Islamic politics in very profane conflicts over power and tangible economic resources over time. In both countries a new form of Islamic populism has emerged as a major articulator of grievances against the secular state and perceived social injustices. However, the same historical processes have enabled the social agents of Islamic politics in Malaysia to contest state power more effectively than their counterparts in Indonesia. (Pac Rev/GIGA)
