The Indonesian Dream: Unity, Diversity and Democracy in Times of Distrust

Editat de Thang D Nguyen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2004
As the world's third-largest democracy continues its journey with its elections this year, 'The Indonesian Dream' reviews the modern history of Indonesia - the fourth-most populous country and home to the world's largest Muslim community - revisits its founding principles, and addresses the most pressing challenges that confront the nation and obstacles that hinder its progress. Since the end of the Suharto era, Indonesia continues to experience political instability, economic stagnation and rising unemployment, inter-ethnic and inter-religious conflicts, rampant corruption, and a lack of leadership, among other issues. Of most serious impacts on Indonesia's future is an increasing cross-society and cross-sector phenomenon of distrust. Covering a wide-range of topics and keeping Indonesia's founding motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) as its core theme of discussion, The Indonesian Dream puts forth the argument that distrust and the lack of tri-sector partnership in Indonesia are the biggest hurdles that it must overcome in order to move forward.This argument is made convincing by a diverse group of contributors, both Indonesian and international, most of whom were discussion leaders in the United in Diversity Forum, which took place in Bali, Indonesia, on 6-8 December 2003, under the theme 'Building Trust for Our Common Future'. With a reader-friendly layout and comprehensive, insightful, and thoughtful contents, 'The Indonesia Dream' is essential reading for anyone who is interested in Indonesia.
