Danantara: Sovereignty and the Struggle for Indonesia’s Future
By Saskia Ubaidi
This book explores Indonesia’s boldest economic experiment: Danantara. More than a state investment authority, it reflects the nation’s search for balance between sovereignty and globalization, democracy and power. Saskia Ubaidi situates Danantara within Indonesia’s long tradition of compromise and resilience, while asking whether it can redefine the country’s role in ASEAN and the Global South.
Clear, provocative, and timely, this book speaks not only to readers of Indonesian politics and economy, but also to those interested in how emerging democracies shape global capitalism in the 21st century.
