Politically, Islam in Indonesia is part of a rich multi-cultural
mix. Religious tolerance is seen as the cornerstone of relations
between different faiths - and moderation is built into the
country's constitutional framework. However, the advent of
democracy coupled with the impact of the South-East Asian economic
collapse in 1997, and the arrival of a tough new breed of Middle
Eastern Islamic preachers, sowed the seeds of the current challenge
to Indonesia's traditionally moderate form of Islam. This volume
explores the extent to which moderate Indonesian Islam is able to
assimilate leading concepts from Western political theory. The
essays in the collection explore how concepts from Western
political theory are compatible with a liberal interpretation of
Islamic universals and how such universals can form the basis for a
contemporary approach to the protection of human rights and the
articulation of a modern Islamic civil society.
