Regionalism in post-Suharto Indonesia

Description:

"Since the fall of the Suharto regime, forces pressing for regional autonomy have strengthened in Indonesia, with some people arguing that the country is in danger of disintegrating. This book examines a range of issue connected with decentralization and regional autonomy in Indonesia, especially focusing on various local contexts. The multiple issues that are dealt with in this volume include: ethnic revival and violence; corruption, collusion and nepotism, the complexities of administrative reorganization and the forging of new networks; the reshaping of cultural identity; new emerging social hierarchies; and new conflicts over the use of the environment."--BOOK JACKET.
