An uphill struggle: Advocacy NGOs under Soeharto's New Order
The book An Uphill Struggle: Advocacy NGOs under Soeharto’s New Order explores the challenges faced by advocacy-oriented non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Indonesia during the authoritarian regime of President Soeharto. It examines how these organizations operated within a highly restrictive political environment marked by state surveillance, censorship, and the suppression of dissent. Through detailed case studies and historical analysis, the book reveals how NGOs developed creative strategies to promote human rights, environmental protection, and social justice while navigating state control and co-optation. It also highlights the networks, alliances, and grassroots mobilizations that enabled civil society to survive and gradually expand its influence in the late New Order period. By situating the Indonesian experience within broader debates on authoritarianism and civil society, the book provides valuable insights into the resilience, adaptability, and political agency of advocacy groups working under repressive regimes.
