Demokrasi

Though the largest Muslim nation by population, Indonesia remains a receiver of wisdom from the Arab world, rather than a messenger of multi-religious tolerance. Its pursuit of trade agreements with Japan and South Korea have burnished its economic ambitions, but its diplomacy is long on so-called "soft power," and short on sanctions or force. So what does the future hold for this pivotal place? Award-winning Asia-Pacific journalist Hamish McDonald?s Demokrasi is an accessible and authoritative introduction to the modern history and politics of this fascinating country.
