Features and Contributing Factors of Weak State: Indonesian Case Study

This article focuses on the features and contributing factors of weak state and also provides a detailed analysis of the weak state issue of Indonesia. Weak state is the transitional pattern from well - operating state down to failed state, in which the basic govemabilities of government are injured and the social construction is on the verge of broken. The contributing factors of weak state at least includes dual political structure in a process of structure transition, long - standing loose ties among different ethnic groups and religious communities, and pressure from the world system in globalization era. The main suggestion is that the so - called "neo authoritarianism" or bureaucratic authoritarianism may be a realistic choice for developing countries to prevent the danger of becoming a weak state during a social change period.
