There is much we do not know about how Indonesians—both elites and voters— understand the concept of political representation. In the comparat ive literature, scholars distinguish between the substantive representation of voters’ ideological positions, preferences, and demands, and the descri ptive representation of demographic groups within political institutions—fo r example in terms of class, gender or religion. Gaps or failings on either score can impact popular satisfaction with democratic politics (Hayes and Hibbing 2016; Pruehs 2006; Wängnerud 2009; Clayton et al 2019). \n\nThis pa nel, therefore, brings together three presentations that take a broad look at problems of political representation in contemporary Indonesia. We ask: How do voters from different social groups understand the concept of repres entation? Is representation conceived of mostly in descriptive or substanti ve terms? Who feels represented, who doesn’t, and why? How can we explain t he under-representation of particular groups, like the working class or wom en? How do politicians, from local legislators to the president, view their role as elected representatives? And how do entrenched patterns of cliente list politics impede or facilitate different forms of representation?\n\nPa pers will address these sorts of questions using a range of methodological tools, from national surveys to elite interviews. We bring original empiric al material to bear upon questions rarely asked in the Indonesian context, and in doing so hope to bring the Indonesian case into conversation with co mparative scholarship on how representation works in young and clientelist democracies.
