A report on the structure and operation of the

In late 2002 CDI commissioned a study of the Indonesian Parliament to assist in the further development of the CDI Indonesian Institutional Strengthening Program. The research entitled Struggling to Change: The Indonesian Parliament in an Era of Reformasi was undertaken by Dr Stephen Sherlock of the federal Parliamentary Information and Research Service. |

The research found a huge political shift has taken place in Indonesia over the past few years, but the changes have not been revolutionary. One of the key problems is that the institutions of state in which popular expectations have been vested, are barely equipped to push forward a process of democratisation and to deal with the country's economic and political crises.
