    • Abstract:
      Indonesia is located in the Malay Archipelago that separates the Indian Ocean from the Pacific in Southeast Asia. Consisting of thousands of islands, Indonesia is also an impressive array of more than 250 distinct cultures and ethnic groups that have settled on the islands over the course of centuries, each with different languages, dialects, and histories. Following the region's emergence from Dutch colonization in the mid-twentieth century, the effort to meld all of these cultural groups into a cohesive and stable nation has proved to be Indonesia's greatest challenge.
