Self-description: "The 2004 Indonesian Elections: How the System Works and What the Parties. In early 2004 CDI commissioned a study of political parties and the new electoral system in Indonesia. [...] The study [published in Feb 2004 by Dr Stephen Sherlock - ed.] outlines the details of Indonesia's new constitutional and electoral process and analyses the effects that the new system may have on the future conduct of Indonesian politics. It provides a guide to the major political parties, their historical and social origins and their place in the spectrum of ideological, religious and regional divisions.]
