- Authors
Okthariza, Noory
- Abstract
The article discusses the book "Unity through Division: Political Islam, Representation, and Democracy in Indonesia" by Diego Fossati. The book explores the role of political Islam in Indonesian politics and its impact on democracy. Fossati argues that political Islam provides a platform for its supporters to advance their agenda within the democratic framework. The book also examines the congruence between the opinions of politicians and voters on issues related to Islam in the public sphere. The article suggests that the book offers new interpretations of Indonesian politics and highlights the enduring influence of political Islam in shaping civic culture and democracy in Indonesia.
