Reviews

'Fossati designed a series of surveys to find out why the rise of political Islam after Indonesia's democratic transition in 1998 has not destabilized the country's politics. Patronage relations play a big role in elections, as do economic issues, but he finds that religious affiliations are a major determinant of how people vote.' Andrew J. Nathan , Foreign Affairs 'Recommended.' A. R. Abootalebi, Choice
