| Summary |
This volume discusses the inner workings of Indonesia's post-Suharto democracy. Using the 2009 national elections as an entry point, the contributors focus on how key democratic institutions and procedures have functioned since 1998. Papers discuss the conduct of elections, the roles of parliament, parties and civil society, the engagement of women in politics and regional political dynamics |
