Indonesia is the world's most populous country and Australia's closest northern neighbour. Acknowledging the country's strategic importance to Australia's national interest, this unit introduces students to the basic features of Indonesia's political system and the country's immense socio-cultural diversity. Starting with a brief overview of the Dutch colonial period and its implications for Indonesia's post-colonial development after 1945, the unit will then move on to discuss the political upheavals of the 1960s and the tremendous social and political change that occurred in Indonesia during the last three decades of the 20th century. In the second half of the semester, the unit will focus on contemporary events and developments that continue to shape the political and social landscape of Indonesia. Particular attention will be paid to various aspects of the country's ongoing democratisation process, the revival of political Islam, and the resurgence of identity politics. A discussion of Indonesia's role in international politics and its relations with its neighbours in the region will conclude the unit.
