Democracy, Corruption and the Politics of Spirits in Contemporary Indonesia

Bag om Democracy, Corruption and the Politics of Spirits in Contemporary Indonesia

Indonesia has achieved a successful transition to democracy and yet this democracy continues to be flawed, illiberal, and predatory.This book suggests that this and other paradoxes of democracy in Indonesia often assume occult forms in the Indonesian political imagination, and that the spirit-like character of democracy and corruption traverses into the national media and the political elite. It seeks to provide a portrait of Indonesiäs contradictory democracy, contending that the contradictions that haunt democracy in Indonesia also infect democracy globally. Exploring the intimate ways in which the world of politics and the world of spirits are entangled, it argues that Indonesiäs seemingly peculiar problems with democracy and spirits in fact reflect a set of contradictions within democracy itself.
