The ongoing reforms in Indonesia and the democratization process of the last decade have produced incredible change in Indonesia. Indonesia is now successfully working towards gradually accommodating its large diversity of social, religious and ethnic groups within a democratic state structure.
The focus of the third Yale Indonesia Forum International Conference will be the various issues, problems and obstacles in the fields of social justice and the rule of law which limit Indonesia’s progress and jeopardize Indonesia’s cohesion. The focus of the third Yale Indonesia Forum International Conference will also extend to the efforts of both government as well as ordinary citizens to address these issues.
The Yale Indonesia Forum will again approach these issues from a multidisciplinary point of view and will be asking questions such as what problems are threatening Indonesian society and how both ordinary citizens as well as government and non-government agencies are contributing to address problems blocking Indonesian growth into a pluralist democracy of equal citizens in the nation-state. The third Yale Indonesia Forum International Conference will therefore again call upon researchers from various disciplines to bring their expertise together and highlight these issues in the context of the growing democratic state of Indonesia. We encourage presentations of case studies of research and also welcome structural and holistic approaches to these issues.
This year again we specifically offer opportunities to both young and experienced researchers from Indonesia and abroad in order to maintain the Yale Indonesia Forum tradition of dialogue and cooperation between established and upcoming, Indonesian and non-Indonesian academics.
By holding the Yale Indonesia Forum International Conference in Indonesia the Yale Indonesia Forum aims to invite contributions from Indonesian researchers with limited international exposure to join and share their points of view on Indonesia. Given the international status of the Conference, all papers will be presented in English.
