This book is the first major study of labor relations in New Order Indonesia for nearly thirty years. The author provides theoretical analysis on the role and prospects of organized labor in late industrializing countries. With the use of comparative models, Hadiz argues that labor movements face greater obstacles to their effectiveness the later it is that a country undergoes industrialization. Strict labor controls in Indonesia are shown to be the legacy of struggles between the army and the Left before the New Order, and the corporatist social and political framework is shown to continue to constrain the development of labor movements.

Reorganising Power in Indonesia: The Politics of Oligarchy in an Age of Markets (Routledge/City University of Hong Kong Southeast Asia Series)

<p>Reorganising Power in Indonesia is a new and distinctive analysis of the dramatic fall of Soeharto, the last of the great Cold War capitalist dictators, and of the struggles that reshape power and wealth in Indonesia. The dramatic events of the past two decades are understood essentially in terms of the rise of a complex politico-business oligarchy and the ongoing reorganisation of its power through successive crises, colonising and expropriating new political and market institutions. With the collapse of authoritarian rule, the authors propose that the way was left open for this oligarchy to reconstitute its power within society and the institutions of newly democratic Indonesia.</p>

<p>In a novel approach to the field of Islamic politics, this provocative new study compares the evolution of Islamic populism in Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, to the Middle East. Utilising approaches from historical sociology and political economy, Vedi R. Hadiz argues that competing strands of Islamic politics can be understood as the product of contemporary struggles over power, material resources and the result of conflict across a variety of social and historical contexts. Drawing from detailed case studies across the Middle East and Southeast Asia, the book engages with broader theoretical questions about political change in the context of socio-economic transformations and presents an innovative, comparative framework to shed new light on the diverse trajectories of Islamic politics in the modern world.</p>
