The "World in Focus" series provides an up-to-date view of individual countries around the world. It includes a discussion of the major challenges facing each country now and in the future. This book gives a real insight into life in Indonesia, the largest archipelago in the world. Its 17,508 islands extend for more than 5,000 kilometres between the Asian and Australian mainlands. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country and there are more than 300 different ethnic groups, each with its own language and culture. Governing the country is difficult and there has been ethnic unrest in various provinces in recent years. Indonesia is rich in natural resources, and agriculture, forestry and fishing are also important. The beauty of the landscape makes the country a major tourist destination.
This is Book 21 in the World in Focus Series. See all World in Focus books here.
