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的发展。虽然最近关于这一主题的许多研究都集中在四位1998年后总统的个性上，但这个项目打算突出总统职位的体制和结构方面。特别是，这项拟议的研究旨在探索民主化、分散化和权力分散在多大程度上限制了印尼总统行使行政权力。该项目完成后，旨在提供印尼后威权总统的全面图景，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.
