Political party financing and democratic consolidation in Indonesia

作为澳大利亚北部的辽阔邻国，印尼对澳大利亚的国家利益至关重要。在这方面，尤其重要的是印尼年轻民主国家的稳定。人们普遍认为，政党政治被腐败、贪婪和以自我为中心的政客所玷污，这种稳定日益受到威胁。这种情绪在很大程度上是由对政党有问题的筹款做法的投诉助长的。因此，希望通过政治和经济合作计划解决印尼政治制度缺陷的澳大利亚政策制定者、援助官员和企业将对这项研究非常感兴趣。

As Australia's vast neighbour to the north, Indonesia, is of critical importance to Australian national interests. Particularly essential in this regard is the stability of Indonesia's young democracy, which is increasingly threatened by the widespread perception that party politics are contaminated by corrupt, greedy and self-centred politicians. This sentiment is largely fuelled by complaints about questionable fundraising practices of political parties. Accordingly, this study will be of great interest to Australian policy-makers, aid officials and businesses that wish to address the deficiencies in Indonesia's political system through political and economic cooperation programs.
