'This book combines very senior and renowned academics and practitioners with rising stars, and has a nice balance of Indonesian and foreign authors. [...] In terms of quality of research, analysis, and exposition, most of the chapters place Indonesia’s experiences in an historical and comparative context... They also present nice combinations of sound conceptual frameworks and empirical data, offering good examples of evidence-based policy analysis. [...] This book’s illuminating analyses and pragmatic recommendations merit serious consideration by Indonesia’s leaders as Indonesia prepares for its next presidential election.' — Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, Volume 32 Issue 2, p144-146
