The latest results from the governorial elections in the provinces of West Java and North Sumatra, Indonesia, would suggest that a sea-change of sorts is taking place in Indonesia. Shortly after the shock election results following the general election in Malaysia earlier this year, the governorial elections of Indonesia has led to the victory of the Justice and Prosperity Party (PKS) and the National Mandate Party (Pan), both of which are Islamist in character and both of which trace their ideological and intellectual genealogy back to the Islamist Masjumi party of the 1950s that struggled to make Indonesia an Islamic state until it was finally banned by President Sukarno in 1960. Farish Noor analyses the implications. Publication: Aliran, 10 April 2008.  Author: Farish Noor.
