SEARC Associate Director Awarded $3.4 Million Grant by the Australian Research Council
SEARC Associate Director, Prof FOSSATI Diego, in partnership with colleagues Edward Aspinall, Eve Warburton and Burhan Muhtadi has been awarded a prestigious and highly competitive Discovery Project Grant by the Australian Research Council for a project titled “Political Representation in Indonesia". With a budget of AUD$ 679,740, the project aims to understand political representation in Indonesia, asking how far politicians resemble voters in both their policy views and backgrounds (gender, religion, education etc.). It will generate new knowledge on a major potential source of fragility in the world’s third largest democracy, and pioneer a new multi-method approach for explaining how representation varies. Expected outcomes include a new framework that extends analysis of representation to illiberal democracies, and a tranche of public data on Indonesia for cross-national comparisons. Benefits will include a new set of analytical tools to help policy makers to assess sources of weakness in representative institutions in illiberal settings. |
