Seminar: Labour Politics in Indonesia
INDONESIA STUDIES PROGRAMME SEMINAR
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
This seminar has several central questions: What can we learn about Indonesia’s organised labour from those episodes? How should we characterise the labour movement’s different strategies? How have they contributed to democratic consolidation in Indonesia? What are the factors that prevent organised labour from becoming a major political player in Indonesia?
