Straddled between Australia and Asia, Indonesia is in a unique position reflected in its culture and traditions. After years and years of Dutch influence, a brief period of Japanese occupation, and instability during 20 years of rule by President Suharto, free and fair elections took place in 1999. The islands are home to the sprawling, urban metropolis of Jakarta, the beautiful beaches of Banyuwangi and Bali, and the cultural capital of Yogyakarta, home to one of the world’s great religious monuments. Indonesia is a complex nation filled with many layers of history, culture and economic development. Though it still has much work to do alleviating poverty and unemployment, its position as a key member of the G20 and movement toward economic integration with the ASEAN economic community bode well for Indonesia’s future.
