The rule of
Sukarno

1957
PANCASILA
introduced by President Sukarno to represent the five principles that the
country and its government were based on. These five principles are:
Abelief in God - this principle recognises the Indonesian people's belief in God, no matter
what their religion might be.
A just and civilised humanity - this principle requires Indonesians to treat each other with
respect and courtesy. Everyone is the same in God's eyes.
The unity of Indonesia - this principle is a reminder that Indonesians should love their country
and celebrate the different backgrounds they come from.
Democracy guided by the wisdom of the representatives - this principle recognises that
Indonesian democracy relies on the wisdom of those elected and appointed. They need to
talk, listen and think about the decisions they make.
Social justice for all Indonesians - this principle tells Indonesians that they should use all the
resources of their country to benefit all Indonesians. All Indonesians are equal and should be
treated the same way.
MARTIAL
LAW 1957
Economic Effect:
inflation reached as high as 500%
impressive military victories over the PRRIPermesta rebels and the popular nationalisation
of Dutch companies left Sukarno in a very
strong position
Sukarno reinstated the 1945 constitution:
presidential system
Sukarno disbanded the Islamic partyMasyumi
andSutan Sjahrir's partyPSI
To counterbalance the power of the military,
Sukarno started to rely on the support of the
Communist Party of Indonesia(PKI
AUTHORITARIAN RULE OF
SUKARNO
Reinstatement of the 1945 constitution with its strong "middle way,"
presidential system: On July 5,
In March 1960, a new legislature, the House of People's RepresentativesMutual Self-help (DPR-GR; later, simply DPR) was established. One
hundred fifty-four of its 238 seats were given to representatives of
"functional groups," including the military, which became known as
Golkar. All were appointed rather than elected.
TO THE FALL
From 1955 onward, Sukarnos government was in clear decline
increasingly aggressiveKonfrontasi(confrontation) rhetoric against major
Western powers and Malaysia, whom he saw as a Western puppet,
In 1965, Communist Partyattempteda coup dtat, which was then
directly countered by the military
In the chaotic situation that followed,masskillings legitimized as actions
against communists took the lives of up to 1.5 million people within a
couple of months
TO THE FALL
Sukarno had lost some of his authority and was losing control over the
two most important social forces: the military (TNI) and the Communist
Party (PKI)
The military emerged as the dominant power with Gen. Suharto now
becoming Indonesias second president.
ratifying theSupersemar
stripping Sukarno of his title of President for Life
the government ended Konfrontasi with Malaysia
rejoined the United Nations (Sukarno had removed Indonesia from the UN in the
previous year).
January 1967, Suharto felt confident that he had removed all significant support for Sukarno
within the armed forces
February 22, 1967: Sukarno announced he would resign from the presidency, and on 12
March, the MPRS session stripped him of his remaining power and named Suhartoacting
president
TO DEMOCRACY
The traditionally strong role of actors like the military is hard to overcome.
In the process of democratization, the DPR, Indonesias parliament,
abolished the militarys right to a secured number of house seats.
However: Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono vs. Prabowo Subianto
It is natural that the old New Order structures have been lingering on in
the shade.
JOKOWIS IDEA OF
INDONESIA
When Indonesia won its independence and the country took on a new
form, the nation had to be invented
An idea of Indonesia: imagined community
It is conceivable that Joko Widodos government cannot from one moment
to the next change Indonesias domestic political routines that he himself
criticizedas being infused by corruption, collusion and nepotism.
Considering the nations most eventful history, however, his victory in the
elections as a political newcomer with a democratic idea of Indonesias
future gives the country its next chance for an attempt at democracy.
