Political party financing and democratic consolidation in Indonesia

作为澳大利亚北方的邻国，印度尼西亚对澳大利亚的国家利益至关重要。在这方面特别重要的是印度尼西亚年轻的民主政体的稳定，由于人们普遍认为政党政治受到腐败、贪婪和以自我为中心的政客的污染，这种民主政体日益受到威胁。这种情绪在很大程度上是由于对政党可疑筹款做法的投诉而加剧的。因此，这项研究将是非常感兴趣的澳大利亚决策者，援助官员和企业，希望通过政治和经济合作计划，以解决印尼的政治制度的缺陷。

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.
