Annotation: During almost 25 years since the beginning of the reformation era in 1998, the democratization process in Indonesia made quite remarkable progress in democratizing and modernizing the political system in the country due to four blocks of amendments to the Constitution in 1999 – 2002 and several laws. But the development of the democratic process is facing several obstacles such as separatism and rather high level of Islamic radicalism. Fighting these two the authorities sometimes are acting beyond the law norms. Some rather influential circles of the elite are of the opinion that the reforms are not in line with the Indonesian originality. The army is preserving important political role enjoying the highest level of confidence in the society compared with other state and social institutions.

Keywords: Indonesia, reforms, democratic process, amendments in the Constitution, state ideology, Army, Islamist radicalism, separatism
