      abstract = {This book offers a unique analysis of how political  representatives construct ideas about the nation in  contemporary Indonesian politics. In their struggle to  define what the authors call the national narrative,  would-be national leaders seek to develop a story about the  nations past, present and future. These stories feature a  unique plot, set of characters, and a moral that the  political narrator hopes will resonate. In contemporary  Indonesia, the authors assess two prominent national  narratives: the technocratic and populist national  narratives. The book concludes with an analysis that  considers other potential sources of ideas about the  nation, as well as the potential implications for domestic  politics and Indonesian grand strategy. Dr Michael  Hatherell is a Senior Lecturer in Strategic Studies at  Deakin University, Australia. He works as the Academic  Director for Deakin in its relationship with the Australian  Defence College. Michaels research interests mainly focus  on the role of narrative and ideas in shaping political  competition, foreign policy and grand strategy. Dr Alistair  Welsh is a Senior Lecturer and Convenor of Indonesian at  Deakin University, Australia. His interdisciplinary  research interests relate to cultural contexts in  Indonesian/Malay spheres, with a focus on discourse that  shapes and/or reflects identity positions.},
