National University. He is currently writing a book on the history of
the Aceh conflict. Amongst other important works, Ed is the author of

Topic: Aceh after the elections.

The presentation will provide an overview of local political
developments and the peace process in Aceh in the wake of the December

leader, Irwandi Yusuf. It will discuss, among other things, the nature
of the electoral competition, internal dynamics within GAM, the politics
of syariah and the prospects for peace. The presentation will be based
on recent field work in Aceh, including interviews with ex-combatants.
