Description
Introduction (1) In 2001, Indonesians experienced and negotiated intense power struggles involving religious, national, and local aspects of their identities. Three years after the collapse of the Soeharto state, the optimism of the Reform movement (Reformasi) was under increasing strain due to ongoing economic hardship and political fluidity. The Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) presidency and its transfer to Megawati Sukarnoputri involved a drawn out and often heated showdown between leaders and party supporters, fuelling debates over the marginalization of Islam in state matters. Indonesia's former state party, Golkar, and its Armed Forces (TNI) (2) variously sought to retain power and reposition themselves in the changing political climate. In local politics, the implementation of Regional Autonomy and the selection processes of mayors and district heads (bupati) impacted on bureaucratic structures and departments at the ground level.
