Islamism and democracy in Indonesia : piety and pragmatism

Examines the complex reality behind Indonesian Islamists rejection of democracy. It focuses its analysis on two streams of Islamism: the two Islamist groups that seek extra-parliamentary means to achieve their goals (MMI and HTI); and the PKS Islamists who choose the existing political party system as a means to an end in their fight for power.
