Working paper
Published 1994
This working paper examines political dissent in the regional press of late New Order Indonesia. Taking the emerging environmental politics of tourism development in Bali as its point of departure, the study at the same time explores broader questions of centre-periphery relations in Indonesia. It focuses on the role of the regional media in forming and representing public opinion and in articulating the interests of marginalised political, economic and cultural groups.
Working paper

Published 1990
Policy statements on rural development in New Order Indonesia devote considerable attention to engaging the participation of the rural population. To some extent this rhetorical posturing reflects a recognition of the central government's real dependence on local organisation in the realisation of its political and economic agenda.
