The Politics of the Periphery in Indonesia is a thought-provoking
examination of local politics and the dynamics of power at
Indonesia's geographic and social margins. After the fall of
Suharto in 1998 and the introduction of a policy of
decentralization in 2001, local stakeholders secured and
consolidated decision-making power, and set about negotiating new
relations with Jakarta. The volume deals with power struggles and
local-national tensions, looking among other things at resource
control, the historical roots of regional identity politics and
issues relating to Chinese-Indonesians. The authors develop
information in ways that transcend the post-colonial territorial
boundaries of Indonesia in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago, and
use case studies to show how the charges described have galvanized
Indonesian politics at the cultural and geographical peripheries.
