In A Nation in Waiting, Adam Schwarz spans a wide variety of issues of concern in today’s Indonesia, providing a detailed view of one of the world’s most populous, yet least-understood, nations. He chronicles the impressive economic development the country enjoyed during most of President Suharto’s thirty-one-year tenure, and the present economic and political crisis. In this fully updated second edition, Schwarz analyzes the impact of Suharto’s resignation on the political, economic, and social life of Indonesia.
