Indonesian Democracy - Past Present and Future

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

Indonesian Democracy: Past, Present, and Future tells the story of Indonesia's remarkable journey from authoritarian rule to democracy. From the ashes of Dutch colonial rule, Indonesia emerged as a beacon of hope for democracy and self-determination. However, the early years of independence were marked by political instability and economic turmoil.

The New Order era under President Suharto brought a period of stability and economic growth, but at the expense of political and civil liberties. The 1998 student-led protests marked a turning point in Indonesian history, leading to the fall of Suharto and the beginning of a new era of reform and democratization.

The Reformasi movement transformed Indonesia's political landscape, opening up space for civil society organizations, political parties, and independent media. The new democratic government faced a daunting task in addressing the challenges of poverty, inequality, and corruption. Yet, despite these challenges, Indonesia made significant progress in consolidating its democracy and promoting human rights.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Indonesian democracy, from its historical roots to its current challenges and prospects. It examines the role of civil society, the political system, economic development, foreign policy, and cultural identity in shaping Indonesia's democratic trajectory.

Indonesian Democracy: Past, Present, and Future is an essential resource for scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Indonesian politics and society. It offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of Indonesia's democratic transition and the challenges it faces in the 21st century.

What’s the Matter with Delaware?...

Hal Weitzman

The legal home to over a million companies, Delaware has more registered businesses than residents. Why do virtually all of the biggest corporations in the United States register there? This book reveals how a systematic enterprise lies behind the business-friendly corporate veneer, one that has kept the state afloat financially by diverting public funds away from some of the poorest people in the United States and supporting dictators and criminals across the world. 
 
 
 
Hal Weitzman shows how the de facto capital of corporate America has provided safe haven to money launderers, kleptocratic foreign rulers, and human traffickers, and facilitated tax dodging and money laundering by multinational companies and international gangsters. Revenues from Delaware's business-formation industry, known as the Franchise, account for two-fifths of the state's budget and have helped to keep the tax burden on its residents among the lowest in the United States. Delaware derives enormous political clout from the Franchise, effectively writing the corporate code for the entire country. 
 
 
 
What's the Matter with Delaware? shows how, in Joe Biden's home state, the corporate laws get written behind closed doors, enabling the rich and powerful to do business in the shadows.

Hate and Reconciliation -...

Guido Cuyvers

Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
 
 
 
Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.

The Saga Podcast Transcripts:...

Kelly Leow, Jasmine Ng

March 2009. When 100 strangers arrived at a run-of-the-mill meeting for Singapore gender-equality group AWARE, long-time members sensed that something was wrong. Who were the mysterious women wresting control of this respected volunteer organisation? And what disturbing secrets united them? What happened next became the stuff of national legend: starting with an astonishing coup and culminating in an extraordinary demonstration of equality and justice.  
 
First released in 2020 as an award-winning long-form narrative podcast—the first ever in Singapore—Saga captured the social and political reverberations, and electrifying plot twists, that defined this chapter in Singapore civil society history. Now The Saga Podcast Transcripts: Fury, Faith and the Fight for Justice in the AWARE Saga brings together in print the voices of those who lived it—the activists, observers and members of the public who found themselves swept into the storm. 
 
This is more than a record of events. It is an intimately human story of power and resistance, courage and community—and a reminder of how fragile, and how vital, civic life can be.
