Interpreting Indonesian Politics
comprises a collection of papers written over a 20-year period, presenting the
author’s analyses and reflections on the political and economic situation
of the country and tracing the growth of Indonesia as a nation from the time
Suharto took over the reins of government in 1965. The author proposes a
framework within which Indonesian politics can be effectively studied and
understood, highlighting the basic factors which dominate the Indonesian
political scene, such as the role of the military, Islam and the highly active
and vocal students, and exploring their political interaction which makes this
book a key relevant study since its first publication in 1998.This new edition
is updated to reflect changes in Indonesian governance, including the Megawati
Administration.
