Civil Society Elites
Field Studies from Cambodia and Indonesia
Summary
What does civil society look like in Indonesia and Cambodia, and who are civil society elites?

Field Studies from Cambodia and Indonesia, Astrid Norén-Nilsson, Amalinda Savirani and Anders Uhlin dive into the themes of their book, as well as the processes and experiences of their research.
