• Indonesia's Decade of Democratisation: The rise of constitutional democracy

21 - 22 May 2008 Venue: Seminar Room Widya Graha Building LIPI 1st floor, Jl. Gatot Subroto No.10 Jakarta Selatan

http://www.monash.edu.au/cemo/indonesiasdemocratisation/index.html

The conference is conceived of as being a serious academic undertaking, and therefore will involve critical reflection and some critique. Nevertheless, it is also intended that the conference capture the interest of a broader audience beyond academia and that it focus attention on the many positive advances and achievements that constitute the remarkable story of Indonesia�¢ï¿½ï¿½s democratic transition.

This conference is partly inspired by and modelled upon the very successful conference Indonesian Democracy, 1950s and 1990s held by the Centre of Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at Monash University in December 1992 in honour of Herb Feith who had retired from the politics department at Monash University

Indonesian democracy conference, like the one in 1992, is also inspired by Herb Feith's seminal work The Decline of Constitutional Democracy, published in 1962 and republished in 2007 by Equinox Publishing in Jakarta. Just as the 1992 Indonesian democracy conference resulted in a significant academic book (edited by David Bourchier and John Legge) it is intended that this 2008 Indonesian democracy conference will also result in a landmark publication.
