Klappentext Asia, Indonesia, Party politics This is an important and insightful book; a study of the gritty reality of branch level politics and party management in Indonesia, seen through the lens of Malang. We are used to seeing Indonesian parties as free-floating elites. Here we see how they struggle to connect with the grassroots. Especially important for understanding up-coming elections. -- David Reeve,Conjoint Associate Professor UNSW, ILTI Academic Coordinator ACICIS, Univeristy of Leiden. - The success of Indonesian democratization depends heavily on the extent to which political parties become responsive to their constituents at the grass roots level. Ulla Fionna's fine-grained study of changes in four party organizations in Malang, East Java, adds valuable new data and important political science tools for the analysis of party development. Analysts and party-builders should be encouraged by her finding that the level of local activists' skills and commitments makes a significant difference for the quality of Indonesia's fledgling democracy. -- Bill Liddle, Ohio State University, Dept. Political Science.
