| Summary |
"This book examines and compares two elections in Indonesia - the last New Order election in May 1997 under the authoritarian government, and the first free election in the post-Suharto era in June 1999 - making an important contribution to our understanding of the demise of the New Order, and the directions being taken by the new regime. By exploring a mix of local, cultural, national and political perspectives on these elections, the contributors highlight how intense political rivalries on a local level in the 1997 elections were surprisingly similar to the elections under the reform-minded government in 1999."--BOOK JACKET |
