This book presents an outline of the progress around the introduction of good governance reforms in Indonesia over the past ten years. It argues that although good governance principles are widely promulgated, there remain limited improvement, despite considerable progress in relation to democratisation process. These barriers include: minimum commitment to reform the bureaucratic system, some resistances from government officials and the failure to provide a blue print for all stake holders. The scarcity of effective leaders who can create innovative programs without being captured by short term consideration provides additional and significant challenges to the implementation good governance principles in Indonesia.
