The turn of the century and the crossroads of reformasi presents a timely juncture for examining Indonesia's political, economic, and social history—both to evaluate current events and to chart the country's future course. Providing an up-to-date overview, this volume explores events, processes, and themes in contemporary Indonesia—including the evolution of political institutions and democracy, economic development and political economy, religious and social movements, political ideology, and the role of the armed forces. By holding a mirror to historical events, the authors add a rich dimension to our understanding of Indonesia and its problems, free from the exigencies of the present and the prejudices of the past.

When Megawati Soekarnoputri became the President of Indonesia in July 2001, there were strong expectations. But so far, fundamental economic and political reforms have yet to be undertaken. The deadly Bali bombings on 12 October 2002 presented a wake-up call for the Megawati government. Terrorism on an international scale had now hit home. Now, more than ever, there is greater urgency on the part of the Megawati government to tackle the myriad of political and economic problems plaguing the country. This volume features some of the major issues that faced the Megawati government even before the devastating Bali attacks. The contributors include academics, practitioners and activists, offering a diversity of views.

In 1999, Indonesia embarked on a reform of regional governance that brings self-governance to rural districts and municipalities, i.e., the administrative and democratic capacity needed to apply basic services like healthcare, national legislation and environment policies. This edited volume is the first book, which not only deals with the 1999 legislation but also shows how the deficiencies and contradictions of this legislation reduced implementation between 2001 and 2004 to a try-out. The book also discusses the adaptations that were the focus of the debate on the revision of the 1999 legislation that resulted in the 2004 update legislation and the amendment of the 1945 Constitution. Anthropological case studies of five provinces complement and deepen the findings of the more general survey reports.

Coordination problems have been perceived as a major contributor to the failure of government programs. Although coordination is an old and persistent problem in public administration, it has recently become prominent in OECD and other countries as the limitations of silos impact on addressing complex policy problems. The context of this study is Indonesia, where coordination challenges have presented serious problems for the government. Multiple efforts have been made by the Indonesian government to improve coordination, yet the result is still unsatisfactory. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze emerging coordination practices in Indonesia. The research seeks to understand how coordination works, to identify the factors that influence the success or failure of coordination practices and to learn how problems could be addressed. To capture a comprehensive picture of how coordination operates, this research examines seven coordination cases from the Ministry of Finance, a large two-tier department with multiple directorates general, which cover five different types of coordination. From the simple to the most complex they are shared information, shared activity or resources, shared responsibility, an integrated information system, and an integrated organizational structure. A framework is developed to show the range of factors that influence coordination at different stages. Based on empirical analysis it appears that there is some correlation between the complexity of coordination types and the chance of successful coordination. Diagrammatically it appears as a bell shape. Success seems to be more likely when there is a balance between complexity and independence. Other factors that emerge as influencing coordination include human factors, conflicting regulations, overly specialized organizational structures, and poor business processes. The human factors were the most influential in determining the nature of coordination in central government. The political leader and project leader played crucial roles in driving the success of coordination and change management programs significantly reduced the level of resistance from opponents.

In Politics in Contemporary Indonesia, Ken M.P. Setiawan and Dirk Tomsa analyse the most prominent political ideas, institutions, interests and issues that shape Indonesian politics today. Guided by the overarching question whether Indonesia still deserves its famous label as a ‘model Muslim democracy’, the book argues that the most serious threats to Indonesian democracy emanate from the fading appeal of democracy as a compelling narrative, the increasingly brazen capture of democratic institutions by predatory interests, and the narrowing public space for those who seek to defend the values of democracy. In so doing, the book answers the following key questions: What are the dominant political narratives that underpin Indonesian politics? How has Indonesia’s institutional framework evolved since the onset of democratisation in 1998? How do competing political interests weaken or strengthen Indonesian democracy? How does declining democracy affect Indonesia’s prospects for dealing with its main policy challenges? How does Indonesia compare to other Muslim-majority states and to its regional neighbours? Up-to-date, comprehensive and written in an accessible style, this book will be of interest for both students and scholars of Indonesian politics, Asian Studies, Comparative Politics and International Relations.

This volume is based in part upon observations made during a six months' visit to Indonesia between August 1956 and January 1957. After an initial period of five weeks spent in the Autonomy and Decentralization Division, Ministry of Internal Affairs, visits were made to three provinces - East Java, Central Sumatra and Sulawesi where, through the courtesy of local officials, facilities were provided for the study of the local government system at all levels. While it is necessary to draw attention to these geographical limitations of the enquiry, the three provinces were deliberately selected as samples with a view to enabling the study of varied and contrasting situations, and the observations made in the paper are couched in general terms, a further qualification must be made. The visits to Central Sumatra and Sulawesi were concluded before the changes of government in those provinces in December 1956 and March 1957. The comments referring specifically to the situations in these provinces have therefore been outstripped by events. It may be assumed, however, that the more permanent problems of local government planning will remain, and it has been thought desirable to describe the situations in the two areas as they were observed, except that some reference to subsequent changes is made in the concluding section of the paper. About Cornell Modern Indonesian Project Interim Reports This title was originally published as an "Interim Report" in the Cornell Modern Indonesia Project (CMIP) series organized by the Cornell Southeast Asia Program. CMIP's first "Interim Report" appeared in 1956, during an era when little scholarship on Indonesia was available, and those studies that did appear often lagged far behind the actual events taking place in the country. George Kahin, director of CMIP at the time, explained in his foreword to the first "Interim Report" that these books were intended to address this lack of timely scholarship and encourage lively critical exchanges among researchers and readers. Therefore, as he explained, the "Interim Reports" would be "explicitly tentative and provisional in character." We believe that an understanding of this historical context is key to a full appreciation of these contributions to the study of Indonesia in the twentieth century.

By any indicator, Indonesia, the fourth most populous nation on earth, is a development success story. Yet 20 years after a deep economic and political crisis, it is still in some respects an economy in transition. The country recovered from the 1997–98 crisis and navigated the path from authoritarian to democratic rule surprisingly quickly and smoothly. It survived the 2008–09 global financial crisis and the end of the China-driven commodity super boom in 2014 with little difficulty. It is now embarking on its fifth round of credible national elections in the democratic era. It is in the process of graduating to the upper middle-income ranks. But, as the 25 contributors to this comprehensive and compelling volume document, Indonesia also faces many daunting challenges — how to achieve faster economic growth along with more attention to environment sustainability, how to achieve more equitable development outcomes, how to develop and nurture stronger institutional foundations, and much else. “This is a timely and much-needed book. There are very few recent books on Indonesia with such a comprehensive analysis of not just mainstream economic policies, but also most importantly the key issues of human capital, inequality, social welfare, labour, food security and natural resource management. This book will not only be crucial for policy discourse but for all stakeholders who care about Indonesia making the transition not only to a high-income economy, but an inclusive one.” — Mari Pangestu, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia “The Indonesian Economy in Transition: Policy Challenges in the Jokowi Era and Beyond is one of the most important books that discusses the Indonesian economy post–Asian Financial Crisis. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand contemporary Indonesian economy.” — M. Chatib Basri, former Minister of Finance of Indonesia

Budgeting is a substantial economic and political decision-making process for governments. This is because a budget is the life-blood of a government. A budget authorizes what the government intends to do and expects to do. However, many governments in developed and developing countries experience budget problems that will affect the government activities and services to its society. Thus, the negative consequences of budget problems need to be dealt with and overcome.This study is about local budget problems in a developing country. The focus on local government budgets is important as many central governments around the world, especially in developing countries, have decentralized their fiscal, political, and administrative powers to lower-level governments and amplified the importance of local budgets. However, compared to the context of developed countries, few studies have been conducted in the context of sub-national government level in developing countries in the current literature. Therefore, the objective of this study is to address this lack of literature and make contribution in this area. This study aims to explore budget problems and the causes of those budget problems suffered by three local governments in Indonesia as case studies. Indonesia is an important case study as the country has not only changed from one of the most centralized countries in the world to be one that is relatively more decentralized among developing countries. However, the process also has substantially changed the factor that influence local budget including political conditions, fiscal conditions, and budgetary institutions at the local government level as well as the role of local government.Underpinned by a constructivism-interpretivism research paradigm, this thesis conducted semi-structured interviews as the main data collection method. The data was then corroborated with document analyses to elicit the subjective meanings. Furthermore, the thesis uses multiple case studies by selecting three local governments in Indonesia, namely Blora Regency of the Central Java Province, Bengkalis Regency of the Riau Island Province, and Singkawang City of the West Kalimantan Province. Thematic analysis was employed for this thesis to uncover new emerging themes and categories in relation to the research questions. The first research question is "What budget problems are experienced by the three cases of local governments in Indonesia?" and the second research question is "What are the causes of those local budget problems?".This thesis finds that the three local governments suffered from interrelated budget problems of budget enactment delays, budget execution delays, and underspending of budget appropriations. The main budget problem was budget enactment delays which also drive budget executions delays. Budget execution delays were worsened by the procurement problems as well as some intrinsic problems related to the aspiration funds during the budget execution stage. These budget execution problems then caused underspending of budget appropriations and have led to substantial amounts of ending balances while at the same time, caused inability for these local governments to develop their infrastructure. The interrelationship of budget problems may not be a specific issue for these Indonesian local governments, but they have rarely been strongly linked in previous studies.In terms of the causes of those interrelated budget problems, the three cases show that politics play the most important role in shaping budget problems. Money politics drove disagreements among the budget actors which then caused them to face difficulty reaching agreements in the budget process. In addition, nonpolitical factors also derail the budgeting process. These include rigid and complicated budget administration, uncertainty of budget revenues, fears and worries of corruption cases, and human resource management in the civil service.By looking at budget problems in Indonesian three local governments and their causes, this study adds some information to the limited understanding of sub-national government budget problems in developing countries. It confirms that several typical budget problems such as budget delay and "underspending of budget appropriations" are suffered by sub-national governments in Indonesia. This is also the case with some of the common causes like politics. Nevertheless, some findings of this study also highlight differences between the result of studies in developed countries and developing countries. The way money politics leads to polarization among budget actors, the institutional fragmentation among the local council, the executive leader, and the bureaucracy as well as rigid budget administration are some of the examples of how the causes of budget problems in Indonesian local governments differ compared to the causes found in developed countries.
