Women as Political Actors in Indonesia's New Order
The New Order system controlled Indonesian politics for over thirty years, and its repercussions are still being played out. This paper considers the way the New Order involved women behind the scenes in politics, and how those women have gradually increased the range and influence of their activities. Using her extensive research with women's organizations and female politicians in Indonesia, Indra McCormick shows how women have acted as agents of political change, whether through public protest, party membership, or the reclamation of their traditional areas of interest - the family and the home. She also discusses the important political careers of Megawati Sukarnoputri and Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana, the daughters of past Indonesian presidents.
Indonesia's Post-Soeharto Democracy Movement
Despite being a major player in the ending of Soeharto's New Order regime in 1998, today the Indonesian pro-democracy movement is a marginal force in Indonesian politics and the process of reformasi is in the hands of other (elite) forces. Accordingly, there are some who now question if the quest to establish what would have been the world's third largest democracy is now a lost cause. This book represents a unique joint effort by concerned scholars and reflective activists to review and analyze the character, problems, and options facing the Indonesian pro-democracy movement. It is the first study to analyze why the pro-democracy movement failed to capitalize on its earlier successes and today is marginalized.
