This lecture will review Indonesia's development journey from industrialisation to a period of de-industrialisation and then to the efforts to re-industrialise. The journey involves the process of democratic transition in the late 1990s; it was a success. Indonesia's democracy has been assessed to be resilient and labelled as the strongest in Southeast Asia. Democracy empowers workers while affecting employment relations and pushing wages up. These trends coupled with the changing global environments require a fresh new outlook at the process of re-industrialisation.
