Abstract:

How do certain ideas and practices become socially valued in particular times
and places? Why do we see some countries as having better governance or
leadership than others? In Global Leadership Talk, Zane Goebel addresses these
questions through a study of leadership language in the uniquely diverse
post-colonial nation of Indonesia. This book examines global flows of
ideologies about leadership and good governance, how these ideologies are
localized in Indonesia, and how all of this related to changing political,
bureaucratic, and market regimes in Indonesia between 1998 and 2004. Drawing
on five months of fieldwork and a corpus of hundreds of online newspaper
articles regarding the Indonesian bureaucracy, Goebel analyzes how leadership
ideas expressed in the early twenty-first century have been re-used and
redefined in the media-and most importantly, how and why these ideas were
received and believed in local face-to-face talk in the Indonesian civil
service.
