Summary:

Why do candidates make ethnic appeals in election campaigns? More specifically, why do some candidates appeal to their ethnic group while others reach out to different ethnic groups or abandon appeals altogether? This book develops key concepts of ethnic bonding, bridging, and bypassing to interpret ethnic politics in Indonesia, one of the world's largest and most ethnically diverse emerging democracies.
