SUMMARY:Activists in Transition: Progressive Politics in Democratic Indonesia
LOCATION:Room 1.101
DESCRIPTION:Studies of regime change have shown that progressive social mov
 ements disseminate ideas about democracy amongst the wider population and m
 obilize opposition to undemocratic regimes. Less attention has been paid to
  the fate of social movements once that regime change occurs. Focusing on t
 he students, labour, the urban poor and the anti-corruption movement, the p
 apers in this panel track the trajectory of different social movements’ eng
 agement in the political sphere from the short-lived period of openness in 
 the late 1980s–early 1990s and the twenty-year anniversary of the fall of I
 ndonesia’s New Order regime in 2018. In locating progressive social movemen
 ts at the center of their analysis, they do not seek to privilege them to t
 he exclusion of elite proponents of democracy. Many have argued that the co
 untry is controlled by an oligarchy whose powerbase is rooted in pre-democr
 atic times, and even assessments that challenge the fatalism of such accoun
 ts acknowledge the ongoing influence of long-established political and econ
 omic elites. There are also deep-seated features of Indonesia’s political s
 ystem, like clientalism, that hinder democratic practice. Nevertheless, pro
 gressive social movements have continued to fight for what Beetham (1999, 9
 1) describes as the “basic” principles of democracy, namely “control by cit
 izens over their collective affairs and equality between citizens in the ex
 ercise of that control.”
