This book offers a timely examination of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), a chapter of the transnational movement Hizb utTahrir (HT), whose key aim is the revival of the caliphate.It cautions against an overly simplistic read of a group like HTI and political Islam in Indonesia. While there is much to laud, particularly with regard to how leaders in Indonesia have attempted to counteract Islamist extremism, insofar as the trajectory of nonviolent Islamism in Indonesia is concerned there are clear reasons for apprehension. Groups like the HTI have been adept at using the democratic space in Indonesia to propound their illiberal objectives, including encouraging the curtailment of Indonesian art forms deemed unIslamic, and more importantly pushing for certain Islamic sects, such as the Ahmadiyahs, to be banned. Yet, despite its extreme posturing, HTI isaccepted as a mainstream Muslim organization. As such, the Indonesian chapter of Hizb utTahrir represents a unique case: unlike other chapters, which are deemed extreme and fringe, HTI, though radical, still exists within the space provided by the Indonesian religiopolitical landscape.This book offers new insights into HTIs history, organizational structure and ideology, adding considerable new details about HTI and correcting errors in existing literature, while directing its primary focus on explaining HTIs rapid growth in Indonesia. The central argument is that the key to understanding HTIs growth lies in the role collective identity plays in attracting new members and retaining its existing members within the party. Factors such as institutional and noninstitutional opportunities within the Indonesian political system, HTIs resource mobilization strategies and the antisystemic ideology of HTI serve as political, organizational and religious incentives for individuals to join the party and launch collective action. This goes on to emphasize and show that collective identity remains the most crucial factor in the partys growth. Analysing this process of collective identity formation and its impact on recruitment and membership retention is central to this book.This book will be of much interest to students of Southeast Asian politics, regional security, political Islam, and International Relations in general.
