Overview

Since the first edition, Indonesia has undergone massive political and legal change as part of its post-Soeharto reform process and its dramatic transition to democracy. This work contains 25 new chapters and the 4 surviving chapters have all been revised, where necessary. Indonesia: Law and Society now covers a broad range of legal fields and includes both historical and very up-to-date analyses and views on Indonesian legal issues. It includes work by leading scholars from a wide range of countries. There is still no comparable, English language text in existence.

Reviews

The book contains wide-ranging and incisive writings covering the grounds of Indonesian society from various angles: legal, sociological, cultural and political. The fact that Ariel Budiman, a well-known critic of the authorities, gave his imprimateur in the foreword, lends assurances to the would-be reader that the content of the book is insightful and not shying away from showing the cracks and faultlines of the landscape. The book gives the reader an encompassing picture where the complex and colourful fabric of Indonesian society is highlighted. ... The book comes with a comprehensive glossary of terminology, acronyms and abbreviations used in all its 27 chapters as well as a table of statutes and an extensive index. References and footnotes point in the right directions, readers who seek deeper knowledge into any specific field. Lindsey deserves congratulations for his efforts in gathering essays of such high quality into this volume. - Jakarta Post The book contains wide-ranging and incisive writings covering the grounds of Indonesian society from various angles: legal, sociological, cultural and political.
