The Early and Middle Pleistocene Archaeological Record of Greece / druk 1

Choosing the scanty Greek record as a case-study, Tourloukis elaborates on a hitherto largely overlooked subjec...

the Indonesian experience after the fall of Suharto

2016 || Paperback || Kees van Dijk e.a. || Leiden University Press

After violent protests across the country had forced President Suharto to step down in 1998, Indonesia successfully made the transition from an authoritarian state to a democracy.
