'Indonesia in Focus' - Democratic Regression and Environmental Politics in Indonesia - Seminar # 4

The fourth ‘Indonesia in Focus' event, an initiative of La Trobe Asia.

This seminar will be presented by Associate Professor Dirk Tomsa (Head of the Department of Politics, Media and Philosophy. La Trobe University)

This seminar analyses how populist resource nationalism, anti-science attitudes, controversial new laws and tightening restrictions on political freedoms are undermining prospects for environmental protection in Indonesia. However, it also highlights some silver linings that provide hope for Indonesia’s embattled environment.
