The book "The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics" explores the recent resurgence of the term "adat" in Indonesian politics. This term, which traditionally connotes order and harmony, has taken on a more activist and sometimes violent meaning in recent years. The book delves into the origins of this revival, the historical factors that have influenced it, and its impact on Indonesia's political landscape.

The book highlights the implications of this revival for democracy, human rights, civility, and political stability in Indonesia. It is a valuable resource for understanding the current political climate in Indonesia.

The Indonesian term adat means 'custom' or 'tradition', and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons behind its recent blossoming. It considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia's new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics provides detailed coverage of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics. It is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.
