1) Paperback Book The Politics of Post-Suharto Indonesia by Council on Foreign Relations Press. As I know, this paperback is the first publication about Post Soeharto period which written by foreign (non-Indonesian) authors. Probably because of I am not a politician, I´d never heard about all authors. But my hunch tell that mostly come from Murdoch University - Western Australia, which have several specialist researches about Indonesia instead of have some well-known Indonesian experts there. So the authors could ask something, consult or gather feedbacks, opinions, and advices from them directly. So this book is good enough to learn how Indonesia could be look from overseas¤ 2) Paperback Book The Politics of Post-Suharto Indonesia by Council on Foreign Relations Press. Though ongoing economic, political, and social crises have kept Indonesia in the headlines for over a year, Southeast Asia´s troubled giant remains poorly understood in the United States. This 17,000-island archipelago, ranging over 3,000 miles from east to west, occupies a strategic location that connects the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean to East Asia. The fourth-most populous country in the world, Indonesia is home to as many Muslims as the entire Middle East/North Africa region. It is first among equals in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which is a key part of East Asia´s prevailing balance of power. Wrenched by the domestic turmoil that commenced with the collapse of the rupiah in the fall of 1997, Indonesia is only now starting to receive the attention in the United States that its size and potential warrant. This book responds to the critical need of policymakers, practitioners, and scholars for current research on Indonesia. The authors, all acclaimed international experts on Indonesia, focus on those areas that are particularly nettlesome for Indonesia´s new leaders: the economy, religion and ethnicity, civil society, and the military, with a concluding chapter on the International Monetary Fund and U.S. policy toward Indonesia. The result of their inquiries is a rich, forward-looking volume that provides a first glimpse into the future of Indonesia in the post-Suharto era. Adam Schwarz is a consultant on Southeast Asia based in Washington, D.C., and was the 1997-98 Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Jonathan Paris is a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations specializing in the Middle East and Indonesia. During the 1980s he practiced law at the international firm of Coudert Brothers, where he specialized in commercial and banking transactions in Indonesia.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
