本文分析印尼新总统佐科威面临的治理结构性问题，指出其虽代表民主胜利，但需应对传统精英网络外的执政挑战。
The inauguration of Joko Widodo—popularly called “Jokowi”—as Indonesia’snew president in October 2014 has been widely celebrated as a victory for thecountry’s young democracy. A local furniture entrepreneur who worked his wayup from the mayorship of a small town in Central Java to the palace, Jokowi is thefirst Indonesian president not to have originated from traditional elite networksconnected to the military, bureaucracy, or party machines. Moreover, on hisway to power, he defeated a right-wing populist who had offered to return Indo-nesia to a predemocratic political format. Had Prabowo Subianto—the formerson-in-law of ex-autocrat Suharto and a leading general under his repressiverule—won the presidency, Indonesia would have faced many years of politicalturmoil and a possible democratic reversal. Instead, Jokowi’s coming to powersecured the continuation of Indonesia’s democratization process.
