For decades, Indonesia's 1945 Constitution, the second-shortest in
the modern world, was used as an apologia by successive
authoritarian regimes. A bare-bones text originally intended as a
temporary measure, it did little beyond establish basic State
organs, including a powerful presidency. It did not offer citizens
real guarantees or protections. These weaknesses were ruthlessly
exploited by the military-backed regime that President Suharto
headed from 1966 until his fall in 1998. The (first ever) amendment
of the Constitution - that began the following year and was
completed in 2002 - changed all this. Enlarging and rethinking the
Constitution, it ushered in a liberal democratic system based
around human rights, an open society, and separation of powers.
These reforms also created a Constitutional Court that has provided
Indonesia's first judicial forum for serious debate on the
interpretation and application of the Constitution, as well as its
first significant and easily-accessible body of detailed and
reasoned judgments. Today, Indonesian constitutional law is rich,
sophisticated, and complex. This book surveys the remarkable
constitutional transition, assessing the implementation of
Indonesia's new constitutional model and identifying its
weaknesses. After covering key institutions exercising executive,
legislative, and judicial powers, the book focuses on key current
constitutional debates, ranging from human rights to
decentralization, religious freedom, and control of the economy.
