Democratizing Indonesia The Challenges of Civil Society in the Era of Reformasi

"The fall from power of Indonesia's President Suharto in 1998 has drawn much media and academic attention but the focus has been on the elite perspective, the role of the regime and military; little has been published on civil society, let alone gender issues." "This study, which covers the period from Suharto's fall up until the latest democratic elections in 2004, analyses the role of civil society in Indonesia's transition towards democracy. Here, the author argues that social movements are civil society's primary catalysts for change."--BOOK JACKET.Nyman, Mikaela is the author of 'Democratizing Indonesia The Challenges of Civil Society in the Era of Reformasi', published 2006 under ISBN 9788791114823 and ISBN 8791114829.
