On 22 July Joko Widodo was formally announced as the winner of Indonesia’s closely fought presidential election.
Dr Dirk Tomsa (Politics and International Relations at La Trobe University) and Dr David McRae, (Asia Institute, University of Melbourne) present this lecture on how and why Jokowi won, what kind of president he is likely to become, what his policy priorities are likely to be and what kind of international role Indonesia is likely to play under a president who has no experience in foreign policy. Introduced by Professor Nick Bisley.
