Abstract

This article investigates the complex relationship between civil society, democratization, and civil Islam in Indonesia, focusing on the Reformasi era. It argues that civil society plays a vital role in promoting democratic governance and is crucial for the establishment and sustainability of democratic institutions. The study explores whether Islam can act as a driving force for progressive political change. Through a qualitative case study approach, the dynamics of civil Islamic movements and their interaction with Indonesia’s democratization process are examined. The findings indicate that civil Islam serves as a counterbalance to state power, advocating for justice, tolerance, and social rights. The study highlights how Indonesia’s interpretation of civil Islam, shaped by local socio-political contexts and cultural values, differs from Western notions of civil society. While civil Islam has significantly contributed to democratization, it continues to face challenges, including the threat of co-optation by political elites. The article emphasizes the need for a robust civil society that promotes autonomy and public participation, enabling civil Islam to play a critical role in supporting democracy and ensuring governance that reflects the aspirations of the Indonesian people.
