SUMMARY:20 Years After Reformasi: Democratisation and the Politics of In/Exclusion in Indonesia and Malaysia
LOCATION:Room 1.103
DESCRIPTION:Amidst financial crises, reformasi (reformation) movements kick
 ed off in Indonesia and Malaysia in 1998, which had contributed to the fall
  of New Order Regime in Indonesia and to the weakening of the ruling regime
  in Malaysia (which was finally voted out by most Malaysians in 2018). The 
 opening up of democratic space, on one hand, leads to the growth of various
  inclusive and progressive social movements; yet on the other hand, it also
  allows exclusive and conservative social forces to become more visible and
  influential. It is what Karl Popper terms as ‘the paradox of tolerance’ wh
 ich might be detrimental to the overall wellbeing of the democracy itself. 
 In Muslim-majority Malaysia and Indonesia, amidst the growing visible disco
 urses of liberal ideas, pluralistic forces and LGBT rights, we witness an i
 ncrease in the politics of othering (against certain ethnic, religious, sex
 ual minorities) and the instrumentalisation of ethno-religious issues to mo
 bilise people. In other words, how different groups make use of the democra
 tising space, both online and offline, to claim or to defend their ‘rights’
 ? What are the religious, political and socio-economic reasons behind such 
 politics of inclusion and exclusion in democratising Malaysia and Indonesia
 ? This panel welcomes papers from different disciplinary background to exam
 ines the prospects and challenges of democratisation, and examine the roles
  and impacts of diverse social and political actors in Indonesia and Malays
 ia since 1998. It focuses on Malaysia and Indonesia, but we also welcome re
 lated contributions on other countries in Southeast Asia.
