Indonesia: from showcase to basket case
Article Abstract:
Indonesia saw rapid economic growth for a considerable length of time until it was negatively affected by the East Asian financial crisis. Indonesia has been the country in East Asia most badly affected by this crisis. The depth of the crisis in Indonesia can be attributed to a series of policy mistakes and to the nature of the state and economic policy-making. In particular, financial liberalization made a wider range of opportunities available to Indonesia's patronage networks to benefit from their political links.
