Presidential Power and its Limits in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia

这个项目将研究1998年长期独裁者苏哈托倒台后印尼总统职位的发展。虽然最近关于这一主题的大部分研究都集中在1998年之后的四位总统的个性上，但这个项目旨在强调总统职位的体制和结构方面。特别是，拟议的研究旨在探讨民主化，分权和权力扩散在多大程度上限制了印度尼西亚总统行使行政权力。该项目完成后，旨在全面介绍印尼后独裁总统时代的情况，详细描述其宪法权力、机构设置和结构限制。

This project will study the development of the Indonesian presidency after the fall of long-time autocrat Suharto in 1998. While much of the recent research on this subject has focused on the personalities of the four post-1998 presidents, this project intends to highlight institutional and structural aspects of the presidency. In particular, the proposed research aims to explore to what extent democratisation, decentralisation and power diffusion have constrained Indonesian presidents in exercising executive authority. When completed, the project aims to deliver a comprehensive picture of Indonesia's post-authoritarian presidency, describing in detail its constitutional powers, institutional set-up and structural limitations.
