Reviews
'This volume is a major forward contribution to and commentary on the pioneering work of Dan S. Lev on the law, courts and Politics of Indonesia - an ideal path for bring comparativists up to date.' Martin Shapiro, University of California, Berkeley 'Unprecedented in scope and depth, The Politics of Courts in Indonesia is a milestone in scholarly analysis of the third branch of government in Indonesia. Focusing on the array of specialist courts that have proliferated in the country over the last twenty years, it casts a critical eye on numerous aspects of the functioning - and, often, dysfunction - of the Indonesian judiciary. The contributors make a signal contribution to our understanding of the achievements and shortcomings of judicial reform, and of the place of courts in Indonesian society writ large.' Edward Aspinall, Australian National University 'This volume presents a remarkable series of critical analyses of Indonesian constitutionalism, politics, and legal practice over the two decades since the fall of Suharto's New Order - through critical re-engagements with socio-legal approaches to more than a dozen distinct court systems in the country. It is thus both an impressive tribute to the legacy of Dan S. Lev, and an important original contribution to Asian legal studies in its own right.' R.
