This colloquium will be presented by Dr. Marcus Mietzner, a guest fellow of Southeast Asian Studies at Freiburg. The talk focuses on the similarities and differences between the democratic transitions in Indonesia and Egypt. Particular attention will be paid to the role of the military in both transitions, with the army in Egypt constituting a much higher obstacle to democratization than its Indonesian counterpart. The importance of the divisions between Islamists and liberals will also be discussed, as will be the quality of electoral management and party organization.
