Elections in Indonesia
It has sometimes been argued that many Indonesians had little sympathy with western notions of elections being events for the contesting and transfer of power and that they rather supported the New Order's use of 'festivals of democracy', elections as occasions at which the mass of ordinary Indonesians were given the opportunity to celebrate the country's achievements under the rule of its New Order leadership as well as legitimize the continued rule of these leaders. But the need to stage-manage these 'elections' as New Order triumphs finally undid the regime. With chapters describing the last New Order election and the first free election in the post-Suharto era, this volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of the demise of the New Order, and the directions being taken by the emerging regime.
Partai, Pemilu, dan Parlemen Era Reformasi
Hampir tidak ada upaya serius para pemimpin partai politik era reformasi dewasa ini untuk membenahi diri. Para politisi partai justru makin melestarikan problematik struktural partai-partai dan “menikmati” situasi tidak sehat tersebut demi kelangsungan kekuasaan pribadi dan atau kelompok mereka sendiri. Kecenderungan serupa tampak pula dalam konteks sistem kepartaian, sehingga tidak jelas arah dan formatnya, apakah koheren dengan pilihan terhadap sistem pemerintahan, sistem perwakilan, dan sistem pemilu. Sementara itu pemilu-pemilu yang semakin bebas, demokratis, dan bahkan semakin langsung, cenderung menghasilkan sebagian wakil rakyat yang korup dan tidak bertanggung jawab. Buku ini tidak hanya membedah problematik partai politik, sistem kepartaian, pemilu, dan format keparlemenan serta kualitas kinerja legislatif yang dihasilkan oleh pemilu-pemilu era reformasi, melainkan juga merumuskan “peta jalan” perubahan politik yang perlu dilakukan ke depan agar sistem demokrasi pasca-Orde Baru benar-benar berorientasi pada kepentingan rakyat dan kolektifitas bangsa kita.
Elections and Politics in Indonesia
An analysis of the 1999 Indonesian general election and subsequent presidential election in the context of Indonesian elections and politics. The book highlights major characteristics of Indonesian society and culture which affect electoral behaviour, namely ethnicity, regionalism and religion.
Unfinished Nation
Unfinished Nation traces the evolution of Indonesia from its anti-colonial stirrings in the early twentieth century to the lengthy, and eventually victorious, struggle against the dictatorship of President Suharto. In clarifying the often misunderstood political changes that took place in Indonesia at the end of the twentieth century, Max Lane traces how small resistance groups inside Indonesia directed massive political transformation. He shows how the real heroes were the Indonesian workers and peasants, whose sustained mass direct action was the determining force in toppling one of the most enduring dictatorships of modern times. Taking in the role of political Islam, and with considerations on the future of this fragmented country, Unfinished Nation is an illuminating account of modern Indonesian history.
Papua Road Map
The sources of the Papua conflict are grouped into four sets of issues. First, is the problem of the marginalization of indigenous Papuans, and the discriminatory impacts on them resulting from the economic development of, political conflicts in, and mass migrations to Papua since 1970. To respond to this problem, an affirmative policy of recognition must be developed to empower indigenous Papuans. The second issue is the failure of development, particularly in the fields of education, health, and people's economic empowerment. This requires a new paradigm of development, focused on improving public services for the welfare of indigenous Papuans in the villages. The third main problem is the...

Local Politics in Indonesia
Despite only a decade of democratic reform, elections and political parties have become so embedded in Indonesia’s political life that both Indonesians and foreign observers seem to have no difficulty in crediting Indonesia as the world’s third largest democracy. This book explores how local elections have affected Indonesia’s democracy and political dynamics.
Indonesian Women and Local Politics
In an important social change, female Muslim political leaders in Java have enjoyed considerable success in direct local elections following the fall of Suharto in Indonesia. Indonesian Women and Local Politics shows that Islam, gender, and social networks have been decisive in their political victories. Islamic ideas concerning female leadership provide a strong religious foundation for their political campaigns. However, their approach to women's issues shows that female leaders do not necessarily adopt a woman's perspectives when formulating policies. This new trend of Muslim women in politics will continue to shape the growth and direction of democratization in local politics in post-Suharto Indonesia and will color future discourse on gender, politics, and Islam in contemporary Southeast Asia.
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. Applying a multi-dimensional conceptual framework of party institutionalization theory, the book examines Golkar’s organizational infrastructure, its decisional autonomy and programmatic platform as well as the party’s relations to the mass media. Strengths and weaknesses in the individual dimensions of institutionalization are then contrasted with the corresponding levels of institutionalization reached by Indonesia’s other major parties. ...
