RATIH D. ADIPUTRI
I like reading and writing. In overall, my research interests are in parliamentary/legislative studies (focusing on the procedure), political culture, democratization process,  education and issue on global agenda, such as SDG and sustainable future. Currently, the sustainable issues that I focus on are climate emergency, energy security and palm oil.
For teaching purposes, I can teach subjects on education, policy, international organizations, parliament, election and political party, Southeast Asia politics, comparative politics, political theory and democratization process (regime changes and transition politics), including research methodologies (discourse, ethnography, rhetoric).
Additionally, thanks to the popularity of my book on Finnish Education System (KPG, 2019) and my study as a professional teacher education, I currently also offer webinars/lectures on education, its policy and global organization and pedagogy topics.
I am now one of members in two research projects at the University of Jyväskylä, both funded by the 
Kone Foundation, research projects of "United Nations and Legitimacy" (2023-2025) where I study multilateralism from Southeast Asia (Indonesia included) notably in climate crisis mitigation; and  in another research project of "Palm Oil and paradigm shift in Indonesia and EU" (2024-2027) where I focus on paradigm shift and perspectives of multi-scalar actors on palm oil.

Post-doctoral research, funded by Kone Foundation 2017-2019,
Unity and Diversity? International Parliamentary Institutions for Southeast Asia and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). I study IPU, EP and AIPA for their policy papers on SDG and Southeast Asia, also the national parliaments (Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore) and their legislations of SDG --> preparing a book manuscript on Parliaments and Sustainable Development Goals: Multi-parliamentary Governance and Europe-Southeast Asian Relations. ​

The Parliamentary procedure in the Indonesian Parliament (forthcoming in academic journal Review of Indonesian Studies)
Abstract :
The Indonesian parliament, DPR (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat), has always seen to keep its tradition practices as if it is still a parliament under and authoritarian regime. Its Rules of Procedure still accommodates the political culture that arguably, would have halted the DPR to reach its full potential as a parliament body.
The paper discusses the DPR’s current working procedures and studies the contents, especially its legislative process. Although the DPR is legislatively empowered by the constitution, the procedural legacy  from the previous regimes is still maintained. Studying the DPR Rules of Procedures also accentuates the role of the DPR more as a legislature, instead as a parliament, although the tradition of drafting the legislation is completely different from any other parliament, which is normally react and debate. As a rule of the game, the DPR’s Procedure is in seriously in need for revision. The discussion is divided into sections on the importance of parliamentary procedure; the historical development of the DPR; the legislative process; and on the potential for the parliamentary features based on its procedure.

My research will focus on the local parliament called DPRD in Indonesia. This is interesting subject for me as the concept of local parliament in this country has not yet been studied. The studies are mostly focus on DPRD at certain regions, not local parliamentary concept as a whole. At regions, both in provinces and districts/cities areas, the local parliament is DPRD and as part of local/regional governance, DPRD should work under the supervision of the Ministry of Home Affairs, even though has similar structure with the national parliament. This brings confusion to DPRD as it is expected to work as the parliament but to perform as the executive.
