Twenty Years of Democracy (Elements in Politics and Society in Southeast Asia) Okthariza, Noory Primary Author mixed material bibliography Jakarta CSIS 2019 en English

Hal. 126-127 Contemporary Indonesian politics may have looked bleak in recent years, especially after the rallies that led to the imprisonment of Jakarta’s former governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) in 2016. Yet, when we look at Indonesia in comparative perspective, we see its democracy has shown positive signs. These signs include the exclusion of deep-rooted military power, the promise of freedom and democratic rights, the decentralisation of power, the proliferation of new political parties, and the creation of several democratic institutions, such as the Constitutional Court and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Nonetheless, after several elections, problems of corruption, shallow and weak institutions, and stagnation have become all too familiar for most Indonesians.
