Abstract

This study aims to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of politics and governance of Indonesia to realise the ideals of the Indonesian nation and acquire a pivotal role at the international level. The seventy-two years of Indonesia's independence and the twentieth anniversary of Indonesia's reforms have made Indonesia an influential country in conducting democracy and active participation in global governance. By applying qualitative method with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and data collection method through interview, observation and document studies, this study found that since post-1998 reforms Indonesia has experienced changes in the management of government systems. Although twenty years of reform has given birth to "ideal" leaders working for people, nation, and state, yet corrupt system and governance conditions become a challenge of their own that forces leaders to work even more extra for the sake of achieving clean government.
