Political Representation in Indonesia

该项目旨在了解印度尼西亚的政治代表性，询问政治家在政策观点和背景（性别，宗教，教育等）方面与选民的相似程度。它将产生关于世界第三大民主国家脆弱性的主要潜在来源的新知识，并开创一种新的多方法方法来解释代表性如何变化。预期成果包括一个新的框架，将代表性分析扩展到不自由的民主国家，以及一批关于印度尼西亚的公共数据，用于跨国比较。其好处将包括一套新的分析工具，以帮助澳大利亚和该地区的政策制定者评估在不自由的环境中代表机构的弱点来源。

The project aims to understand political representation in Indonesia, asking how far politicians resemble voters in both their policy views and backgrounds (gender, religion, education etc.) It will generate new knowledge on a major potential source of fragility in the world’s third largest democracy, and pioneer a new multi-method approach for explaining how representation varies. Expected outcomes include a new framework that extends analysis of representation to illiberal democracies, and a tranche of public data on Indonesia for cross-national comparisons. Benefits will include a new set of analytical tools to help policy makers in Australia and the region assess sources of weakness in representative institutions in illiberal settings.
