The Republic of Indonesia is a rising great power in the
Asia-Pacific, set to become the eighth largest economy in the world
in the coming decades. It is the most populous Muslim majority
country in the world. The largest Islamic organizations and parties
have supported Indonesia's participation with global markets, but
this has not come from an ideological support for capitalism or
economic liberalization. Islamic political culture has denounced
the injustices caused by global capitalism and its excesses. In
fact, support for Indonesia's engagement with the international
political economy is born from political pragmatism, and from
Indonesia's struggles to achieve economic development. This book
examines the role of Islamic identity in Indonesia's foreign
economic relations and in its engagement with the world order.
There is no single expression of Islam in Indonesia, the politics
espoused by Islamic parties and organizations are far from
monolithic. Islamic sentiment has been invoked by the state to
justify heinous acts of brutality, as well as by violent,
subnational revolutionary groups. However, these expressions of
Islam have deviated from the dominant narrative, which is in favour
of international cooperation and economic development. Economic
exploitation, political alienation, financial volatility, and
aggression toward Muslims around the world that has caused some
Islamic groups to radicalize. The political culture of Islam in
Indonesia is a social force that is helping to foster a peaceful
rise for Indonesia. However, a peaceful expression of Islam is not
inevitable for the republic, nor can it be assumed that Islamic
identity in Indonesia will unwaveringly support the global economic
order, regardless of what might occur in global politics.
