Investigates the increase of institutionalised political thuggery through case studies of some of the paramilitary groups, vigilantes, gangs and other entrepreneurs in violence that have emerged in Indonesia since the end of Suharto's New Order.
Gangs and militias have been a persistent feature of social and political life in Indonesia. Based on extensive fieldwork this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the changing relationship between gangs, militias and political power and authority in post-New Order Indonesia. It argues that gangs and militias have manufactured various types of legitimacy in consolidating localised territorial monopolies and protection economies, and that the protection racket as a social relation of coercion and domination remains a salient feature of Indonesiäs post-authoritarian political landscape.
