Description :
“This book addresses one of the most crucial questions in Southeast Asia: did the election in Indonesia in 2014 of a seemingly populist-oriented president alter the hegemony of the political and economic elites? Was it the end of the paradox that the basic social contradictions in the country’s substantial capitalist development were not reflected in organized politics by any independent representation of subordinated groups in spite of democratization? Beyond simplified frameworks grounded scholars have now come together to discuss whether and how a new Indonesian politics has evolved in a number of crucial fields. Their critical insights are a valuable contribution to the study of this question.”

“A most valuable book for understanding the underpinnings of Indonesian politics in 2019 and beyond. A great range of themes are included: political parties ideologies political Islam leadership legitimacy the political middle class the politics of center-local relations corruption limited foreign policy reformPapuaand youth activism. The book has eleven chapters mostly by Indonesia-based analysts plus a couple of wise old hands. Max Lane’s overview chapter is excellent.”
