Providing a critical compendium of the main tenets of contemporary Indonesian law since the fall of Soeharto in 1998, this landmark volume traces the development of key legal institutions and charts how they have fared during the last five years, investigating key judicial decisions and identifying essential reforms.

Based on original research by experts in the field, including prominent Indonesian scholars and lawyers, the handbook offers detailed analysis of issues linked to the country’s increasing dysfunctional legal system, providing insights both from those within Indonesian society, as well as those external to it, on a scale not previously attempted. The book deepens understanding of the social, political, and historical context surrounding current developments in the Indonesian legal system. It does so at one of the most crucial moments in its history, as the country faces uncertainty about the future of its aspirational transition to an open, democratic society that supports human rights and the rule of law.

This handbook will be an invaluable resource for academics, legal professionals, and students who conduct research or work in the areas of law and society, law and development, law reform, constitutionalism, politics, history, and social change, especially in the context of Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
