The Politics of Educational Decentralisation in Indonesia: A Quest for Legitimacy is a well-written study that provides fresh insights into educational decentralisation in Indonesia. It treats educational reform as a window into deeper questions about power, government responsibility, and social change. The book is grounded in new institutional theory and offers a richness and depth of data through interviews and case studies. It investigates how institutional legitimacy of educational decentralisation was garnered, manipulated, and contested, and provides comparative case studies of education governance in two local districts.
