Törnquist, O. (2013). Assessing Dynamics of Democratisation: Transformative Politics, New Institutions, and the Case of Indonesia. New York, NY: Palgrave Macmillan.

This publication developed out of attempts by academicians and activists to contribute to transformative politics. By acquiring accurate contextual sources and analysing the processes and problems of democratisation in a theoretically inclusive way, the book challenges mainstream assessments that have come to parallel the industry of measuring economic growth. The book summarises critiques of these approaches, suggests a comprehensive alternative framework and demonstrates how alternatives work in reality through a case study of the largest of the new democracies: Indonesia.
