The resignation of President Soeharto 1998 opened a new era in Indonesia. The time to reform the Indonesian political system, to protect human rights and press and press freedom, and to eliminate systematic and systemic corruption, had arrived. This book traces the process of major law reforms which took place in Indonesia during the habibie era, from May 1998 to October 1999, arguably as a critical period in the history of Indonesia’s moves toward becoming a democratic country. The book also provides final chapter on 12 years of Indonesian transition and examines the new structure of Indonesian state after the Amandements of the 1945 Constitution in 2002-2004, and the issue of national security and the rule of law after 9/11 and Bali bombing in 2002.
