Episode 81: The Legal Road Ahead — A Conversation with Pramudya Oktavinanda (Pt. 2)

WE RECORDED THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE JOKOWI ANNOUNCED HIS CABINET, SO APOLOGIES IF THERE IS INFORMATION THAT IS NOW OUTDATED.

In this second of our two-part episode with Pramudya Oktavinanda, an old friend of the podcast (and our resident legal expert), we continue our conversation into some of the legal circumstances of Jokowi and his 2nd term administration. We discuss a variety of topics that are not often covered by mainstream media, such as coalition loyalty in Indonesian politics, extremism in Indonesian elections, and the fluid and flexible nature of Indonesian democracy.

If you haven’t listened to the first part of our conversation with Pram, check it out here!

Thanks for listening!
