New Publication in Asian Survey!

 

Happy to share my latest publication in Asian Survey (with Mardyanto Tryatmoko & Poltak Nainggolan):

 "From Parliament to Platform: Democratic Regression and Technocratic Control in Indonesia’s New Capital."

Access here: https://online.ucpress.edu/as/article/doi/10.1525/as.2025.2649287/212298/From-Parliament-to-PlatformDemocratic-Regression?guestAccessKey=22bfca08-c747-442b-b1f1-1f842fe69787 

We examine how Indonesia’s new capital, IKN, becomes a global case of how digital platforms quietly replace democratic institutions, masking authoritarian shifts under the banner of modernisation. This is not just an Indonesian story—it speaks to broader risks in platform-based governance.
