Regional Development in Indonesia : Some Notes for the Jokowi Government

“When this Foreword was written, Indonesia under the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) Administration was experiencing difficult time both politically as well as economically. Jokowi has entered its eighth month of his term of office but his administration apparently has not been able to run well as expected. To make it even worse, the economic growth in many countries, including Indonesia, has been slowing down since early this year. This book was written with that background and in the spirit of contributing for the development of the nation.” D.S. Priyarsono, President of IRSA.
