The State and Illegality in Indonesia

---

The State and Illegality in Indonesia examines the complex and often ambiguous relationship between state institutions and informal or illegal practices in post-authoritarian Indonesia. Through a series of ethnographic and political analyses, the book reveals how illegality is not merely a symptom of weak governance, but rather an integral part of how power operates and is negotiated within the state itself. The contributors explore issues such as corruption, informal economies, local governance, and the blurred boundaries between legality and legitimacy. By uncovering how state actors both enforce and exploit illegality, this work provides a nuanced understanding of governance in Indonesia, illustrating that the state’s authority is continually constructed through everyday practices that straddle the legal and the illicit.
