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. 517 3 $aThe Indonesian Parliament & Democratization 606 $aLegislative bodies$zIndonesia 606 $aParliamentary practice$zIndonesia 606 $aDemocratization$zIndonesia 607 $aIndonesia$xPolitics and government$y1998- 615 0$aLegislative bodies 615 0$aParliamentary practice 615 0$aDemocratization 676 $a328.598 700 $aZiegenhain$b Patrick$f1969-$01070789 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345123803321 996 $aThe Indonesian Parliament and Democratization$92565092 997 $aUNINA
