Marcus Mietzner_potrait

Associate Professor Marcus Mietzner is Head of the Department of Political and Social Change. He has been interested in the politics of Indonesia since his first visit to Jakarta as a teenager in 1986. While pursuing an MA degree at Goethe University in Frankfurt in the mid-1990s, he spent a year in Ambon collecting material for his thesis on the 1950 rebellion of the South Moluccan Republic. After graduating, he moved to the ANU to undertake his PhD. During fieldwork for a thesis on the Indonesian military, he began working for USAID in Jakarta—an engagement that continued for more than seven years. He eventually returned to academia, completing his PhD in 2005 and commencing his appointment as a lecturer at the ANU in 2008. Since then, his research has primarily focused on political parties and the presidency in democratic Indonesia.
