The Indonesia Institute initiated a writing competition with UNPAR Indonesian university students (Universitas Katolik Parahyangan), and UP students (Universitas Pendidikan), with the support of The Strategic Review and the West Australian government. 

The three best student contributions are listed here. We welcome comments and feedback on these articles.
