Abstract

The process of Islamization in Indonesia after the fall of the New Order attracted many foreign researchers from various disciplines to study it more deeply. They collect data and analyze it using multiple research methods and perspectives in assessing the process of Islamization. This article examines various investigations on Islamization in post-New Order Indonesia by analyzing 19 research articles related to the subject. The method used is a literature review and content analysis of the research results. The results show that most of the research on the development of Islam in post-New Order Indonesia tends to be labeled “negative” and assesses the process of Islamization as “worrying, dangerous, and threatening to democracy and Indonesian multiculturalism”. This positive tone also considers Islamization as a form of resistance to global capitalism and predatory capitalism in local and national politics.
