In May 1998 the fall of Suharto marked the beginning of a difficult
and multi-layered transition process. It was accompanied by
intensified conflict in the political arena, a dramatic increase of
ethnic and religious violence and the danger of national
disintegration. Ten years after the collapse of the New Order,
Indonesia has made significant progress, however the quality of
democracy is still low. Theoretically innovative and empirically
sound, this book is an in-depth analysis of the Indonesian reform
process since 1998. Marco Bunte and Andreas Ufen bring together a
selection of noted Indonesia experts to provide new insights into
the restructuring of core state institutions, the empowerment of
Parliament, the slow and difficult evolution of the rule of law,
and the transfer of power to locally elected regional governments
(decentralization). Based on the results of extensive fieldwork,
Democratization in Post-Suharto Indonesia will be an important read
for scholars engaged in research on Indonesia and the politics of
Southeast Asia.
