Few countries as culturally rich, politically pivotal, and
naturally beautiful as Indonesia are as often misrepresented in
global media and conversation. Stretching 3,400 miles east to west
along the equator, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in
the world and home to more than four hundred ethnic groups and
several major world religions. This sprawling Southeast Asian
nation is also the world's most populous Muslim-majority country
and the third largest democracy. Although in recent years the
country has experienced serious challenges with regard to religious
harmony, its trillion-dollar economy is booming and its press and
public sphere are among the most vibrant in Asia. A land of
cultural contrasts, contests, and contradictions, this
ever-evolving country is today rising to even greater global
prominence, even as it redefines the terms of its national,
religious, and civic identity. The Routledge Handbook of
Contemporary Indonesia offers an overview of the modern making and
contemporary dynamics of culture, society, and politics in this
powerful Asian nation. It provides a comprehensive survey of key
issues in Indonesian politics, economics, religion, and society. It
is divided into six sections, organized as follows: Cultural
Legacies and Political Junctures Contemporary Politics and
Plurality Markets and Economic Cultures Muslims and Religious
Plurality Gender and Sexuality Indonesia in an Age of Multiple
Globalizations Bringing together original contributions by leading
scholars of Indonesia in law, political science, history,
anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and gender studies this
Handbook provides an up-to-date, interdisciplinary, and
academically rigorous exploration of Indonesia. It will be of
interest to students, academics, policymakers, and others in search
of reliable information on Indonesian politics, economics,
religion, and society in an accessible format.
