/390/ The Biggest Country No One Talks About ft. Vedi Hadiz
Added 2024-02-09 12:56:46 +0000 UTCOn Indonesia: a country without a Left.
Foremost scholar of Indonesian politics and political economy, Vedi Hadiz of the University of Melbourne, joins us to talk through the country's politics in advance of the elections next week.
- What was the authoritarian order that followed the 1965 anti-communist massacres?
- How did the Asian financial crisis lead towards democratisation – and how did the old oligarchy manage to retain much of its power?
- How has Indonesia become "Islamified", and what is "Islamic populism"?
- How do class and ethnicity/religion interact in Indonesia? Who speaks for the "downtrodden"?
- Is the upcoming election a contestation between oligarchic populisms?

2024-02-16 19:39:54 +0000 UTCThis was a very informative episode. The kind that made me subscribe to your channel. Sadly, they are becoming a minority on here. And I get it, they don't generate as much new subscribers as the bitter and contentious ones that have dozens of comments. But please, make more episodes like this one.
