About this book

The success or failure of democratic reform in Indonesia is a key question for Indonesia itself and for the surrounding region. Although Indonesia's transition to democracy holds out the promise of good governance, this cannot be taken for granted — as the recent military takeover in Thailand shows. This book is about the challenge of making democracy work in Asia's third-largest nation.
