In this collection of original essays, the editor - a senior Western scholar of Indonesian Islam - and four leading Indonesian Muslim scholars explore and explain these developments. Each chapter examines trends from a strategic institutional perch: the Council of Indonesian Muslim scholars, the reformist Muhammadiyah, South Sulawesi's Committee for the Implementation of Islamic Shari'a, and radical Islamism in Solo. These essays shed a bright light on what Indonesian Muslim politics was - and where it seems to be going Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Muhammadiyah (Organization) Majelis Ulama Indonesia Majelis Ulama Indonesia Muhammadiyah (Organization) Muslims -- Indonesia Islam and politics -- Indonesia.
