This overarching program aims to identify key aspects of socio-economic and political developments in contemporary Indonesia. Governance will be the main theme fort his collaborative project. During the mid-term workshop in Yogyakarta in November 2014 the participants explained how the concept of governance is incorporated in the three projects, and discussed how these varying disciplinary approaches can complement one another. Through the focus on governance the three projects together aim to increase knowledge about the ongoing democratisation process in Indonesia
