Islam and democracy in Indonesia

Almost in passing, Bjarnegard mentions in her essay in Tomsa and Ufen's book the role of Thai political parties in arranging drainage, roads, electricity, and admission in school for their supporters.

Political parties and clientelism in Southeast Asia

More recently, democratic developments in Indonesia have made the practice of cultivating votes through illicit, informal, or targeted distributions of goods an increasing concern, since those practices might now have real effects on political power both locally and nationally (Biinte and Croissant 2011; Hadiz 2010; Ufen 2006).

Voter demands for patronage: evidence from Indonesia

(40) Andreas Ufen, for his part, has even identified a process of 'Philippinisation' of Indonesian party politics, with cashed-up national and local patrons using parties as their personal vehicles.

The exposure of corruption can thus be seen as a peculiar side effect of the competitive nature of local democracy in contemporary Indonesia, where exploding costs for campaigning are driving candidates for public office into all sorts of illicit fundraising methods (Mietzner 2013; Ufen 2010).

Local politics and corruption in Indonesia's outer islands

(2) Andreas Ufen echoes this view, declaring the elections to be a "watershed" event in Malaysia's history.

Single party dominance in Sarawak and the prospects for change

Ufen notes that the numbers of syncretic or abangan is declining while the numbers of orthodox or santri is growing due to the santrinisasi phenomenon, namely the transformation of many abangan Muslims in Indonesia into santri Muslims.

Political Islam and Islamic parties in Indonesia: critically assessing the evidence of Islam's political decline

Given the number of good analyses, then, that have recently become available (e.g., Brown 2008; Kee 2008; Maznah 2008; Ong 2008; Ooi, Saravanamuttu, and Lee Hock Guan 2008; Ufen 2008; Welsh 2008; Chin and Wong 2009; Moten 2009; Pepinsky 2009; Weiss forthcoming), only a short account is necessary here.
