The Indonesian term adat means 'custom' or 'tradition', and
carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent
years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and
violence. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian
politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have
conditioned it and the reasons behind its recent blossoming.
It considers whether the adat revival is a constructive
contribution to Indonesia's new political pluralism or a divisive,
dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for
the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political
stability.
The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics provides
detailed coverage of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian
politics. It is an important resource for anyone seeking to
understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.
