Indonesian Journeys,
Part two
   
Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest democracy, and also has the world's largest Muslim population. Indonesia holds parliamentary elections on April 9th and a presidential vote in July. In the run-up to these elections, this special co-production between the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC World Service examines how Indonesia's past will play a role in its future.

Its largely agricultural economy has been hit hard by years of drought. Anita Barraud continues her Indonesian journey here, as she examines how West Timor is trying desperately to break the cycle of poverty.
SECOND HALF




Join Anita Barraud, as she discovers how the Bali bombings, tourism, globalization, and Indonesia's transition to democracy affect the local politics, economy and culture of Bali.
