Towards a new consensus : democracy and human development in Indonesia : Indonesia human development report 2001
The National Human Development Report is being published at an important juncture in Indonesia's history, when the country is consolidating its nascent democracy while simultaneously striving to overcome the economic and financial crisis that overtook much of East Asia in 1997. The timing of this Report has dictated its concerns and contents. The primary focus is on the interrelationships between human development, democracy and economic progress in Indonesia. This Report is an ambitious and innovative undertaking compared to many other national human development reports, which focus on a single theme. This Report poses a question that is very much on the agenda of policy-makers in Indonesia: How can Indonesia achieve steady progress in all indicators of human development as it restructures its economy, refashions its governance institutions, and devolves decision-making to regions and localities? The answer, this Report argues, lies in building a new social consensus for Indonesia - a consensus that renews a shared commitment to human development, establishing that all Indonesians - as citizens of Indonesia - are entitled to nationally mandated standards of human development. Despite the odds confronting Indonesia, which this Report spells out in some detail, it is optimistic that current challenges can be surmounted
