Indonesian economy has remarkably well in the past 20yrs. So why are we seeing waves of mass protests over pocket book issues?

My latest for @CarnegieEndow: Caught between economic precarity and a hollowed-out democracy, Indonesia’s most vulnerable have risen to set limits on those in power, making clear that stability and accountability can no longer be traded off.

For those looking to understand protests in Indonesia , this reflective piece by Edward Aspinall is a must-read.

My new article with co-authors: what happens when civil society is tasked with CT/PVE surveillance? Our research on Indonesia's neighborhood leaders (RT/RW) shows barriers to reporting and unintended incentives for extra-legal action. Pls DM for a copy.

Shameful behavior by @UChicago and others. This is what happens when university “leaders” stop being educators. Let them graduate!!
Amazing resource on Indonesian public opinion around elections: "weekly online surveys..... for a total of 58 weeks, from 27 November 2023 to 5 January 2025." Kudos to the authors @nathanaeldotid and @KuipersNicholas for offering to share data with public!
NEW: @nathanaeldotid and @KuipersNicholas introduce HI-RES SIKAP, a new online survey that allows researchers to examine short-term shifts in Indonesian public opinion: newmandala.org/introducing-t…
When my son was born he couldn’t digest regular milk and lost too much weight before we finally found sth that worked. For 6 weeks I could barely breathe worrying about him. This kind of horror is sth all of us can imagine. How are people ok with systematic starvation of kids?
Toddler Anhar from north Gaza had puffy cheeks & bright eyes. 4.5 months of Israel assault turned him into skin & bones. He died of starvation on Tuesday.
I can’t even begin to process the horror his parents may have gone through being unable to feed him.

My explainer with @evewarburton: Prabowo-Gibran had the popular support to win in a two-round race. But Jokowi's eagerness for a quick victory undermined the most durable feature of Indonesia’s democracy: electoral competition. newmandala.org/explaining-th…

This is terrible. At the very least, you deserve an honest explanation for why you were disinvited after spending valuable time on planning a visit as well as an apology. Good on you for calling this out.

Sobering read from @yoeskenawas re Indonesia's 2024 elections. The next question on everyone's mind: if a president can go this far to secure a nomination for his son, how far will he go do secure a victory?
Dynastic politics necessitates meticulous succession planning, and Kaesang’s accession and the Court’s ruling are necessary steps towards achieving this objective. On Jokowi's dynasty-building: eastasiaforum.org/2023/10/22…
