Topic title
Topic description
My PhD examines the issues of inclusion/ exclusion and the different notion of deservingness in Indonesia’s social assistance. Using an anthropology of policy approach, I examine the different target population groups such as poor families with children, the elderly, and the missing middle; and look at how the institutionalisation of social assistance led to the different patterns of inclusion and exclusion.
