Islamism in Indonesia: Politics in the Emerging Democracy

Analyzing Indonesia's political shift: Islamism's pragmatic nature.

If you're intrigued by the dynamics of religious influence on politics, particularly in the context of transitioning democracies, "Islamism in Indonesia" provides a nuanced look at how Islamic parties navigate the political landscape. Bernard Platzdasch offers a candid portrayal of pragmatism overshadowing ideological pursuits, allowing us to understand the complex interplay between faith and governance in a rapidly changing Indonesia. This insight is vital for anyone interested in political science, religion, or Southeast Asian studies.

Description

The fall of President Soeharto in May 1998 and the introduction of multi-party democracy by President B. J. Habibie unleashed religious parties (both Islamic and Christian) in Indonesian politics. This study shows that the Islamist agenda of Islamist parties is overshadowed by their political pragmatism. This book provides a timely account of the rise and failure of the Islamist movement in Indonesia's emerging democracy. Platzdasch's work is a significant and timely contribution to a better understanding of Islamic politics in contemporary Indonesia. - Professor Azyumardi Azra, Professor of History & Director, Graduate School, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Jakarta, Indonesia.
