Building-Democracy on the Sand
This collected essays, based on survey of democracy, suggests that Indonesia’s democracy is held back. It is true that all people are allowed to vote, but mowen (who are not well connected), the poor and subordinated people are de-facto prevented from standing as candidate and sometimes even from voting thus from trying to develop popular representation. Basic issues of equal civic rights and political equality thus present a similar challange but also an opportunity as did the movements for the right to vote in the old democracies.
