Reorganising Power in Indonesia: The Politics of Oligarchy in an Age of Markets: Routledge/City University of Hong Kong Southeast Asia Series

Autor Vedi Hadiz, Richard Robison
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 feb 2004
Reorganising Power in Indonesia is a new and distinctive analysis of the dramatic fall of Soeharto, the last of the great Cold War capitalist dictators, and of the struggles that reshape power and wealth in Indonesia. The dramatic events of the past two decades are understood essentially in terms of the rise of a complex politico-business oligarchy and the ongoing reorganisation of its power through successive crises, colonising and expropriating new political and market institutions. With the collapse of authoritarian rule, the authors propose that the way was left open for this oligarchy to reconstitute its power within society and the institutions of newly democratic Indonesia.

Recenzii

'Richard Robison and Vedi Hadiz have delivered the most comprehensive and analytically sound book on the politics of post-New Order Indonesia written so far.' - The Jakarta Post
'In this information-packed and theoretically sophisticated analysis, Robison and Hadiz brilliantly argue that, in spite of Indonesia's economic successes and the collapse of Suharto's regime, power arrangements in the country still operate to keep an oligarchy in command.' - Lucien W. Pye, Foreign Affairs

'[This] is the first study to spell out the nature of the relationship between a national oligarchy and the global market place. As such it is not only an important empirical study, it also represents a major critique of the neo-classical understanding of development that prevailed throughout the late 20th century.'
- Richard Higgott, The Pacific Review

'In this information-packed and theoretically sophisticated analysis, Robison and Hadiz brilliantly argue that, in spite of Indonesia's economic successes and the collapse of Suharto's regime, power arrangements in the country still operate to keep an oligarchy in command.' - Lucien W. Pye, Foreign Affairs
'This is a superb book that should remain the definitive account of Indonesia's political-economic elite during the years preceeding and following the New Order's collapse. The book gives us a clearly stated benchmark against which to mark the progress of meaningful reform.  Well worth the read.' - Pacific Affairs
'In this exciting book, two well-known scholars of Indonesian political economy address questions about the nature of institutional change and the prospects for neoliberal convergence toward democracy and free markets.  In the process, they provide one of the most novel, detailed, coherent, and analytically grounded accounts of Indonesian politics in recent years...by shifting the analytic focus away from well-worn political actors and cleavages, this book gives a remarkably fresh account of the New Order, and brings forward many figures and conflicts that had previously been obscured...the authors have provided a book that uses a single analytic framework to rethink the New Order, to provide a promising interpretation of the democratic era, and to link politics past and present in a tightly coherent and highly detailed narrative...It will continue to do what good books do--generate debate and new lines of research--and will significantly advance our understanding of Indonesian politcs.' -Indonesia, 82 (October 2006)
