More than two decades after the end of the authoritarian era in 1998, what has actually changed in Indonesia's transitional trajectory into a fully consolidated democracy? The perennial issue of how its journey has been hobbled by the grip of the old nexus of political and business elites has sparked lively debates in academia. To date, Indonesianists have differed sharply in their views on Indonesia's achievements after more than twenty years of reform. Some experts have highlighted the dark face of a reform hijacked by the old nefarious political forces, while others provide a more optimistic picture of the achievements since the Reformasi era. It is against this backdrop that Jemma Purdey, Antje Missbach, and Dave McRae provide us with analyses that are much more comprehensive and nuanced on the trajectory of Indonesian democracy.

We argue that Indonesia’s path to democracy was borne out of necessity brought about by a state of extreme precariousness and then molded by its lack thereof. Its lack thereof precisely reflected the internal power struggle and elite competition between remnant groups of the New Order vying under a different set of circumstances. Notwithstanding the given peculiarities of Indonesia’s transition, the current state of democracy in Indonesia is clearly one that is also shaped by the patrimonial character of the New Order. While imminent necessity acts as a temporary stop to ensure that these predatory tendencies of Indonesia’s political system do not come to the fore, its dissolution subsequently opened up the avenues for them to remerge. For even necessity has its limitations and these limitations lie in its eventual demise. Such a pattern inevitably contributed to perceptions of Indonesia’s reform process as being perceived as a vacillating “two steps forward, one step back.” The stu...

The two editors of the book, Edward Aspinall and Marcus Mietzner havebeen actively researching Indonesian politics since their adolescence.Aspinall lived previously for several years in Malang and Mietznerconducted his initial research on Indonesia in Ambon. The two editors,now scholars at the Australian National University in Canberra, belongto the new generation of Indonesian experts.The two Australia based scholars represent a shift from the dominanceof the American based experts from the earlier generation such asGeorge McTurnan Kahin (Cornell University), Benedict Anderson(Cornell University), and Daniel S. Lev (Washington University), whoresearched Indonesia during the Cold War period. At that time Indonesiawas considered as a country threatened by the “domino effects” ofcommunism that already swept China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos,and Cambodia, leading to increased funds for Indonesian studies in theUS, and therefore contributing to in depth political analysis producedamong ...

Australians have long worried about whether Indonesia is ‘special’ or ‘normal’. Instead, we need to deal with Indonesia as it really is—a country experiencing simultaneously the challenges of political reform, economic development and a shifting regional security environment. The country’s political future is less certain than we would hope: after SBY’s term of government ends, the choice of a successor will be critical in determining the future of reform. We can’t rule out that Indonesia might slide back to old ways of doing business—democratisation is a fraught process. As the Indonesian economy grows, so too do the prospects for Indonesia to establish its natural position as the leader of Southeast Asia. As the world is re-examining Indonesia, so too Indonesia is looking afresh at the world—more interested in external issues than it was a decade ago. The Southeast Asian subregion increasingly finds itself at the centre of a more strongly interconnected Indo-Pacific region—so Indo...

Writing both succinctly and comprehensively about the rise, achievements, and challenges of Indonesian democracy since 1998 is difficult. Most scholars have opted for extensive books or focused on special themes or regions. Jamie Davidson has made an admirable effort in less than eighty accessible pages in a new series titled Cambridge Elements, which aims to combine “up-to-date overview of debates in the scholarly literature with original analysis and a clear argument”. He focuses on politics, political economy, identity-based mobilisation, and arrives at three major conclusions.
