title = {The Rise and Decline of Constitutionalism in the Global South: The Case of Indonesia’s Constitutional Court},
year = {2024},
note = {Studies of constitutionalism in the Global South often chart the rise
and achievements of liberal constitutionalism. In this contribution, I
suggest that we also need to consider the decline of constitutional
democracy as part of studies of constitutionalism in the Global South.
Since the book Constitutional Democracy in Indonesia was published,
the decline of constitutional democracy in Indonesia has worsened. In
this contribution I question the association between the
Constitutional Court and constitutional democracy. I examine
Indonesia’s limited place in comparative scholarship prior to 1998,
and then demonstrate how the case of Indonesia in 21st century
scholarship is more relevant to debates concerning the decline of
democracy and the rise of authoritarianism, given the 2023
Constitutional Court crisis.},
