Agonistic Democracy and Islamism in Indonesia offers an in-depth analysis of the dynamic relationship between Islamism and democratic governance in post-Suharto Indonesia. Drawing from extensive fieldwork in Cianjur, Indonesia, this book challenges prevailing assumptions about the inherent incompatibility between democracy and Islamism, offering new perspectives on how these forces can coexist through processes of contestation and compromise. By examining the complex socio-political landscape where Islamist and nationalist movements vie for influence, the book highlights the fluidity of both ideologies in adapting to local contexts. The study sheds light on the broader implications for democracy in Muslim-majority countries, emphasizing the importance of context-specific analysis in understanding the intersection of religion, politics, and governance.Ideal for scholars of political Islam, Southeast Asian studies, and democratic theory, Agonistic Democracy and Islamism in Indonesia provides a crucial contribution to debates on the future of democracy in pluralistic societies.
