Workshop and Public Forum/2008 Annual Asian Studies Lecture
2008 is a milestone for Indonesians as they reach ten years of reformasi. During this reformasi period many things have been achieved in terms of politics and the economy but it must be acknowledged that there are important issues which have not been dealt with properly, such as addressing past human rights violations, maintaining ethnic harmony and peaceful religious pluralism, cleaning up corruption, looking after Indonesian foreign workers, and improving the well-being of Indonesian at the bottom level.
Flinders Asia Centre and Flinders International Asia Pacific Institute organised a workshop and public forum, including the 2008 Annual Asian Studies Lecture, held on 14-15 April 08, to focus on a decade of Indonesia’s reformasi. The participants were Indonesian academics, NGO activists, Flinders University-based academics, those who have followed Indonesian politics/issues closely and those who have participated directly on the ground in their respective fields. They sought answers to the following questions: What are the obstacles that derailed the reformasi movement which was to create a better and democratic Indonesia? How do we judge the achievements and the setbacks that occurred during the reformasi period?
