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.
