Indonesia - The Uncertain Tradition (Paperback)

An exploration of change in post-Suharto Indonesia, confronting many commonly-held assumptions about Indonesian politics and society. Ranging from subjects as diverse as presidential and Islamic politics, the role of the armed forces, separatism, the media and civil society, the authors critically examine Indonesia's transition from an authoritarian state to a new democracy. As the contributors point out, this process of transition is far from complete, and still faces many difficulties.
