Nguyen Singapore : Harvard Coop, 2004 xxxvi, 258 hlm. ; 23 cm ; 23 cm As Indonesia-the fourth most populous country and home to the words largest Muslim community continues its democratic journey with its first ever direct presidential election this year, THE INDONESIAN DREAM reviews the modern history of Indonesia, revisits its founding principles, and addresses the most pressing challenges that confront the nation and obstacles taht hinder its progress. Since the end of the Suharto era, Indonesia continues to experience political instability, economic stagnation and rising unemployment, inter ethnic and interreligious conflicts, rampant corruption, and a lack of leadership, among other issues. Of most serious impacts on Indonesia's future is an increasing cross-society and cross sector phenomenon of distrust. Covering a wide range of topics and keeping Indonesia's founding motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity)as its core theme of discussion, THE INDONESIAN DREAM puts forth the argument that distrust and the lack of tri-sector partnership in Indonesia are the biggest hurdles that it must overcome in order to move forward. 1.
