In 1998, Indonesia's military government collapsed, creating a crisis that many believed would derail its democratic transition.

Yet the world's most populous Muslim country continues to receive high marks from democracy-ranking organizations.

Chapters explore religion and politics and Muslims' support for democracy before change.
