Party Politics and Democratization in Indonesia
Party Politics and Democratization in Indonesia: Golkar in the Post-Suharto Era provides the first in-depth analysis of contemporary Indonesian party politics and the first systematic explanation why Golkar is still the strongest party in Indonesia.

Decentralization and Local Governance in Developing Countries
Over the past three decades the developing world has seen increasing devolution of political and economic power to local governments.

Islam dan PDI Perjuangan
Dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, khususnya sejak awal Reformasi, PDI Perjuangan memang mendapat sorotan dari beberapa kalangan masyarakat Muslim. Mereka beranggapan, partai ini tidak memberi respons secara sungguh-sungguh kepada kepentingan dan kebutuhan kalangan Muslim di Indonesia. PDI Perjuangan dipandang sebagai partai politik yang tidak peduli, dan bahkan menjauh dari kegiatan-kegiatan keagamaan, khususnya terkait dengan umat Islam. Fenomena politik ini menggambarkan bahwa PDI Perjuangan mengambil jarak dan posisi vis a vis dengan kalangan Muslim. Partai ini seakan menampakkan wajah yang “tidak paham” dan “tidak ramah” terhadap Islam dan masyarakat Muslim di Indonesia. Dalam buku persembahan penerbit Kencana (Prenadamedia Group) ini Anda akan menemukan jawabannya, apakah benar hipotesis awal bahwa PDI Perjuangan “tidak ramah” terhadap Islam.
Politik Identitas dan Perebutan Hegemoni Kuasa
Penulisan riset ini bermula dari bentuk keprihatinan penulis terhadap maraknya stigmatisasi dan pembelahan kelompok di masyarakat atas dasar pilihan politik. Hubungan organisasi transnasional seringkali digunakan untuk labelisasi suatu gerakan yang dianggap berlawanan dengan pemegang kekuasaan. Pembelahan kelompok politik menimbulkan fenomena kekerasan baru di tengah masyarakat, sebagaimana kekerasan verbal dan kekerasan politik. Fenomena tersebut berdampak pada tumbuhnya resistensi secara terbuka dan resistensi secara tersembunyi melalui ekstrimisasi gerakan. Rasa keingintahuan terhadap penyebab pembelahan kelompok masyarakat sebagai bentuk perilaku politik, menjadi motivasi penulis untuk mencari tahu perkembangan politik identitas di Indonesia dalam kontestasi pemilihan politik di beberapa jenjang.
