Jokowi and the new developmentalism
Indonesia's president, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), made a remarkable political recovery in 2016. During his firt year in Office, Jokowi had been overwhelmed by a combative and divided parliament, disunity in cabinet, tensions with his own party, and declining approval ratings. In 2016, however, Jokowi expanded his ruling coalition and consolidated his power, and hs approval rating rose to almost 70 %. By mid-2016, the president had achieved stablegovertment for the first time since winning office. Political stability gave us greater clarity on Jokowi-styled new developmentalism began to emerge. Jokowi's administration focused narrowly on infrastructure and deregulation ; other problems of government were subordinated to these developmentalist goals. There are uncanny echoes of the past in the new developmentalism, and its conservative and nationalist features reflect political trends that pre-date Jokowi's presidency. Indeed, Jokowi's developmental strategy is neither unique nor coherent ; his decision-making is defined by ad hocey. Instead, I argue, deeper structural features of Indonesia's socio-political lanscape are making their mark on the president and returning Indonesia to its developmentalist moorings..
