Detailed and very current account of the stresses affecting various parts of Indonesia ranging from Aceh in the west to Papua in the East. Identifies the causes of discontent, notes the often violent repression of dissent by security forces, and the apparent inability and even lack of interest of post Suharto governments in events in far flung corners of the country. Chapter 4 assesses the implications of the Balkanisation of Indonesia for security in neighbouring southeast Asian states and for the wider region.
