In Indonesia, 2024 was punctuated by election campaigns and various ballots : presidential and legislative votes (February 14), then to renew 545 regional chiefs (November 27), most of whom were previously represented on an interim basis.
While some mass-based parties have experienced a setback, and the number of candidates from political dynasties has increased compared to previous elections, do these elections mark a renewal or, on the contrary, are they part of a continuity ? How should we interpret the large number of army and police officers (both active and veteran) appointed to the Cabinet of newly-elected President Prabowo Subianto ? Have the numerous modifications and manipulations of electoral regulations and mechanisms that have marked 2023 and 2024 eroded citizens’ confidence in the democratic system ?

While Southeast Asia is completing a strong geopolitical sequence and the region remains a strategic area in the relations of influence in the Indo-Pacific, several countries are also focused on electoral agendas and the domestic political dynamics they impel.
The conference will provide an opportunity for experts from six countries to work together to decipher the issues and consequences of these elections (including the future ones). Moreover, based on a regional perspective, it will try to draw comparisons, parallels and contrasts, and to identify broad regional trends in the functioning of electoral systems and the political institutions on which they are based.

At the 40th and 41st ASEAN Summits in Phnom Penh in November 2022, the ASEAN leaders agreed in principle to admit Timor-Leste to be the 11th member of ASEAN. Although no date was given yet for the membership, the 2022 decision constituted by far the most significant move since 2011, when Timor-Leste landed its application to the regional organisation.
