Abstract

This is the first book that offers a comprehensive analysis of the Habibie presidency. Comprising a collection of writings by experts from Indonesia and overseas, as well as by some people who have known Habibie well, this book provides divergent views on Habibie - the man and his important legacy. Though still far from perfect, Indonesia is now well-recognized as the world's third largest democracy, and there is now a growing appreciation of Habibie's role as the father democracy.
