Book Description
This book deals with two major issues: how Indonesian NGOs survived under Suharto's authoritarian rule; and how NGOs contributed to the promotion of democracy in the post-Suharto era. If NGOs are to change from 'development' to 'movement' in democratic post-Suharto Indonesia, they must adjust not only their management and working style, but also their very ideology. This comprehensive study will be an important book for scholars interested in Asian studies, Indonesian politics and development studies.

Book Description
Non-governmental organisations have proved crucial to political and social development in developing countries and perhaps none more so than Indonesia, Southeast Asia's biggest country. This book deals with two major issues: how Indonesian NGOs survived under Suharto's authoritarian rule and how NGOs contributed to the promotion of democracy in the post-Suharto era. NGOs are often perceived as the cornerstones of vibrant civil society, providing voices for the disenfranchised and creating centres of influence outside the state. Yet through an analysis of primary material, Bob S. Hadiwinta's study argues that NGOs must adjust their activities in accordance with local social and political conditions and that NGOs are sometimes at odds with the local communities they purport to represent. If NGOs are to change from development to movement in democratic post-Suharto Indonesia, they must adjust not only their management and working style, but also their very ideology. This comprehensive study is suitable for scholars interested in Asian studies, Indonesian politics and development studies.

Book Description
As the fastest growing segment of civil society, as well as featuring prominently in the global political arena, NGOs are under fire for being 'unaccountable'. But who do NGOs actually represent? Who should they be accountable to and how? This book provides the first comprehensive examination of the issues and politics of NGO accountability across all sectors and internationally. It offers an assessment of the key technical tools available including legal accountability, certification and donor-based accountability regimes, and questions whether these are appropriate and viable options or attempts to 'roll-back' NGOs to a more one-dimensional function as organizers of national and global charity. Input and case studies are provided from NGOs such as ActionAid, and from every part of the globe including China, Indonesia and Uganda. In the spirit of moving towards greater accountability the book looks in detail at innovations that have developed from within NGOs and offers new approaches and flexible frameworks that enable accountability to become a reality for all parties worldwide.

Book Description
This book investigates the work of two Indonesian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) concerned with Indonesian women migrant workers working in the informal sector. It concentrates on examining the NGOs' efforts to influence policies on labor migration in the changing context of Indonesias Reformasi Era, a period dominated by democratization and globalization processes. The book argues that the NGOs can actually negotiate and expand their political space. It illustrates how changes in the policy context and within state institutions, more accommodative attitudes from key stakeholders, and the NGOs' own efforts to adapt to the changes around them have given them a wider political space to conduct their activism. This book intends to contribute to the existing body of literature on labor migration by studying the activism of NGOs concerned with the issue of women migrant workers in influencing the labor migration policies in Indonesia as a sending country.
