Abstract
The devolution of power in post-Suharto Indonesia has empowered corrupt loc
al authorities and brought long-simmering religious and ethnic tensions to
the fore. The country lacks a credible executive and impartial military to
quell the violence. In fact, the authorities may be exacerbating the tensio
ns instead of helping resolve them.
