Scholars of comparative politics studying labor reform in developing countries have highlighted variables such as the power of the labor movement, the ordering of reforms, partisan links, & the strength of employer organizations to explain different labor reform outcomes. These variables, however, cannot explain labor's success in Indonesia, where labor reforms both strengthened labor's collective rights & defended against flexibilization. Through an analysis of the process of labor reform in Indonesia, this article stresses the impact of the institutional legacies of authoritarianism & the role of two variables overlooked or underemphasized in current studies-international pressure & institutional design. 57 References.
