One form of performance art that came to Indonesia from China and was warmly received in Java is Wayang Potehi.

"WAYANG POTEHI OF JAVA" is a premium coffee-table book …
City Life from Jakarta to Dakar focuses on the politics incumbent to this process an 'anticipatory politics' that encompasses a wide range of practices, calculations and economies.

Rather, it examines how …

"Recognising this diversity of opinion, Aspinall and Mietzner broadly identify three schools of thought in contemporary political science studies on Indonesia: The first one deems democratic change to be 'superficial, with core structures of power remaining unchanged' (p.1).

Chinese cuisine has had a deep impact on culinary traditions in Southeast Asia, where the lack of certain ingredients and access to new ingredients along with the culinary knowledge of local people led Chinese migrants to modify traditional dishes and to invent new foods.

In 1965–66 one of the worst human tragedies in modern history occurred in Indonesia. On suspicion of having supported a communist coup, approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000 people were killed. So far the international dimension of those events is hardly explored. Although they were domestic by execution, they were also firmly embedded into the global Cold War. Foreign countries were anything bu…

This revolution has often been denied or downplayed as a failure because i…
"To date, most of the published scholarship on Islamist parties in Indonesia has fallen into two main categories, either single case studies, or articles that assess the grand sweep of Indonesian political parties.
