Sukardjan Hadisutikno (10 December 1925 – 11 November 2001) was an Indonesian political scientist and politician. He was the dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Science at the Diponegoro University from 1969 until 1975, the Deputy Speaker of the Central Java Regional People's Representative Council from 1971 until 1977, and the Vice Governor of Central Java from 1981 until 1987.
Hadisutikno was born on 10 December 1925, in Paron, a small village in Ngawi, East Java. His father, Hardjodikromo, was the village's chief. He left the village at the age of 11 to pursue primary education at the Ardjoena Hollandsch-Inlandsche School (primary school) in Bandung, West Java. He completed his primary education in 1940 and continued at the Bandung Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs until he graduated in 1944. He then moved to Surakarta in Central Java and completed his high school education there in 1947.[1]
Upon completing basic education, Hadisutikno began teaching in several schools around Central Java.[2] He was then sent to study politics at the Gadjah Mada University. He graduated from the university with a doctorandus in 1960[1] and began teaching politics at the Diponegoro University, which at that time was the only university in Central Java.[3] In 1962, Sukardjan was appointed by the Rector of the Diponegoro University to form a separate faculty for social and political science.[4] The faculty was formed in 1968 and Hadisutikno became its first dean until 1975.[5]
On 26 July 1990, Hadisutikno was appointed a full professor in politics in the Diponegoro University. His inaugural speech, titled The Aspect of Democracy in Village Decision Making and Policy Execution, criticizes the authoritarian nature of village governance in Indonesia.[6] Sukardjan argued that the structure of village government should be re-evaluated and that village institutions should be given more authority during the process of decision making and policy execution.[7]
