The Changing Landscape of Political Mapping

Abstrak

Indonesia's political map has become increasingly volatile in the first quarter of 2013. More than one year before the 2014 general election, the constellation of political parties and' political elite's power fluctuate akin to changes in a stock market. These changes are caused by dynamics of calculated maneuvering by the political elite, as well as incidents and "accidents" such as the multiple graft scandals experienced by the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) in the last few months.
