The Politics of Economic Development in Indonesia: Contending Perspectives

by Vedi Hadiz (Editor), Iam Chalmers (Translator)

Overview

Despite increased Western interest in Indonesian economic growth, domestic interpretations remain largely unknown outside Indonesia and have rarely been available in English. Translating key speeches and articles from the political debates surrounding Indonesian economic development, the authors present and analyse trends in development thinking by leading Indonesian figures over the last thirty years.
