Indonésie contemporaine
The world's fourth most populous state, the first country in the Muslim world, the only true democracy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia remains an unknown giant. At the crossroads of Indian and Chinese influences, the boundaries of this vast archipelago were drawn up in the wake of clashes between European imperialisms (Spain, Portugal, England and especially the Netherlands). The history of Indonesia since its independence is first of all the contradictions born of the original and courageous choices of its founding fathers: a Jacobin republic to govern an immense and fragmented territory, a spoken idiom little spoken for the national language , A religious but non-Islamic state.
This book, the result of the collaboration of twenty-seven recognized specialists (eighteen French and nine Indonesian), is a synthesis of the latest research in the social sciences on Indonesia. Geographers, anthropologists, historians, economists, politicians and literary experts offer here a broad panorama to understand the demographic, spatial, religious and cultural stakes of the emergence of a regional power, but also the challenges facing this young nation since Its remarkable democratic transition in 1998.
