Muslim Politics and Democratisation in Indonesia

In the wake of the 2004 elections, three eminent Southeast Asian scholars analyse the political struggles of post-Suharto Indonesia. Dr Luthfi Assyaukanie considers the search for an ideal model of polity and focuses on the santri generation, which entered the public arena in the 1970s. Professor Robert Hefner discusses the influence of informal Muslim politics on Indonesia's formal political process, the rise of Islamist paramilitaries, and the conservative turn among ulama groups like the MUI. Finally, Professor Azyumardi Azra explores the compatibility of an Islamic state and democracy and evaluates the 2004 elections in Indonesia.

The Making of Public Islam Piety, Democracy and Youth in Indonesian Politics

Most of my chapters in this book have filled out a picture of the wide-ranging nature of public Islam and its solid foundation in democracy, human rights and the market. I have tried to show what the proliferation of Islamic symbols which greet you in Indonesia signify; because at first sight they might appear as the victory for Islamism. The consolidation of democracy in Indonesia is strong and ongoing. It is true that radical Islamists have been largely responsible for the Islamization that has swept Indonesia―they began the project that led to the growth of public Islam. The paradox is that this strong public Islam will ensure that any attempt by them to control and overthrow the democratic public sphere will almost certainly end in failure. The ongoing consolidation of democracy is contributing to their weakening influence. It is my opinion that the democratic forces will not be sidelined and that Indonesia will strengthen as a democracy. But, ultimately, certainty is not possible; I leave the reader with the evidence.

Avoiding Politics

How Americans Produce Apathy in Everyday Life

Nina Eliasoph's vivid portrait of American civic life reveals an intriguing culture of political avoidance. Despite the importance for democracy of open-ended political conversation among ordinary citizens, many Americans try hard to avoid appearing to care about politics. To discover how, where and why Americans create this culture of avoidance, the author accompanied suburban volunteers, activists, and recreation club members for over two years, listening to them talk - and avoid talking - about the wider world, together and in encounters with government, media, and corporate authorities. She shows how citizens create and express ideas in everyday life, contrasting their privately expressed convictions with their lack of public political engagement. Her book challenges received ideas about culture, power and democracy, while exposing the hard work of producing apathy.
