Description
Analysts weigh in on what's to be expected from Prabowo Subianto's presidency ahead of his inauguration as Indonesia's new leader on October 20. Eko Listiyanto, who is the director of INDEF, says the former general will boost the country's standing on the world stage and use this leverage to support his economic goals. "Prabowo is a person who is very open to the international community... He easily interacts with various world leaders."
Others warn that his broad coalition, which includes nearly all parliamentary parties, could undermine the checks and balances necessary to scrutinise government policies effectively. "They won't consider the impact on the people because they are already controlled by the government's will. That's what I believe will happen," says Bivitri Susanti, a constitutional law expert from Jentera Law School. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
