Abstract

The Indonesian model of inclusive society 'masyarakat madani' is arguably based on a one-view perspective of Islamic intellectuals. Although it was intended to embrace the whole of society in general, its implications might not reach and permeate the entire society. The unique features of Indonesian society have, to a certain degree, made the understanding of inclusive society rather complicated and ambiguous. Nevertheless, the aspiration of creating a more inclusive Indonesian society will perpetually be heralded as one way of tackling the multidimensional challenges faced by Indonesia.
