Conclusion and Perspectives -- REFERENCES -- INDEX -- ABOUT THE AUTHORDemocratization in Indonesia has altered the political decision-making processes in many ways. It has also brought about tremendous change to the role of the Indonesian parliament in the country's political system. Once characterized as a powerless rubber stamp, the parliament has developed into a comprehensive and more representative body able to fulfil its functions more adequately. In the literature on democratic transition, the impact of parliaments on regime changes and on the democratic reorganization of the most important state institutions and regulations is usually neglected. In the Indonesian case, however, the national parliament was one of the most decisive actors and is therefore the focus of this book. The author analyses the parliament's contribution towards the process of democratization. Thus, this book contributes not only to research on the Indonesian democratization process, but also to the comparative research on parliaments in transition processes in general.The Indonesian Parliament & DemocratizationLegislative bodiesIndonesiaParliamentary practiceIndonesiaDemocratizationIndonesiaIndonesiaPolitics and government1998-Legislative bodiesParliamentary practiceDemocratization328.598Ziegenhain Patrick1969-1070789MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910345123803321The Indonesian Parliament and Democratization2565092UNINA
