Half-Hearted Reform: Electoral Institutions and the Struggle for Democracy in IndonesiaBloomsbury Academic, 2003 M04 30 - 256 pages King provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of the reforms in the core institutions of democratic representation, political parties, elections, and legislatures that led the way from late 1998 through 2001. These reforms are placed in historical perspective, compared both with the electoral institutions of Suharto's New Order and with the first democratic election in 1955. King also examines the political struggles during the legislative process and identifies the compromises reached between hardliners and reformers. The new electoral policies are juxtaposed to actual practices—imlpementation—during the 1999 election at both the national and subnational levels, the latter through a case study in the heartland of Java. |
