Democracy and Islam in Indonesia: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Democracy and Islam in Indonesia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Indonesias military government collapsed in 1998, igniting fears that economic, religious, and political conflicts would complicate any democratic transition. Yet in every year since 2006, the worlds most populous Muslim country has received high marks from international democracy-ranking organizations. In this volume, political scientists, religious scholars, legal theorists, and anthropologists examine the theory and practice of Indonesias democratic transition and its ability to serve as a model for other Muslim countries. They compare the Indonesian example with similar scenarios in Chile, Spain, India, and Tunisia, as well as with the failed transitions of Yugoslavia, Egypt, and Iran. Essays explore the relationship between religion and politics and the ways in which Muslims became supportive of democracy even before change occurred, and they describe how innovative policies prevented dissident military groups, violent religious activists, and secessionists from disrupting Indonesias democratic evolution. The collection concludes with a discussion of Indonesias emerging legal pluralism and of which of its forms are rights-eroding and rights-protecting.

DEMOCRACY AND ISLAM IN INDONESIA
Religion, Culture, and Public Life
RELIGION, CULTURE, AND PUBLIC LIFE
Series Editors: Alfred Stepan and Mark C. Taylor
The resurgence of religion calls for careful analysis and constructive criticism of new forms of intolerance as well as new approaches to tolerance, respect, mutual understanding, and accommodation. In order to promote serious scholarship and informed debate, the Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life and Columbia University Press are sponsoring a book series devoted to the investigation of the role of religion in society and culture today. This series includes works by scholars in religious studies, political science, history, cultural anthropology, economics, social psychology, and other allied fields whose work sustains multidisciplinary and comparative as well as transnational analyses of historical and contemporary issues. The series focuses on issues related to questions of difference, identity, and practice within local, national, and international contexts. Special attention is paid to the ways in which religious traditions encourage conflict, violence, and intolerance and also support human rights, ecumenical values, and mutual understanding. By mediating alternative methodologies and different religious, social, and cultural traditions, books published in this series will open channels of communication that facilitate critical analysis.
