Nationalism and ethnic conflict in Indonesia
Bertrand explores religious and ethnic conflict in Indonesia, arguing that its increase in recent years is the result of Suharto's long, authoritarian regime which left the country unprepared for change. The book is a major contribution to the understanding of conflict in an often misunderstood part of the world.
