Inclusion of Islamist parties in the political process has been assumed to generate moderation of their ideological outlook because it provides opportunities to undergo political learning and recalculate their strategies. However, inclusion of Islamist parties in three different political systems in Indonesia shows that inclusion does not necessarily result in moderation, under certain condition it even appears to result in radicalization. This thesis hypothesizes that the different impact of inclusion on the moderation of Islamist parties results from the manner in which they are included in the political process. To prove the hypothesis, the thesis explores the process of inclusion of Islamist parties in the legislative and executive politics of three different political systems in Indonesia (Representative Democracy of 1956-1959, Authoritarian Regime of 1971-1998, and New Democracy of 1998-2004). The study shows that inclusion of Islamist parties may lead to radicalization when the inclusion results in what Irish Marrion Young calls as "internal exclusion," in which Islamist parties are formally included but their presence is largely ignored and unappreciated.
