Political reform in Indonesia after Soeharto
Indonesia was in a parlous condition in 1998. Only a few years earlier, in of the Third World's the mid-1990s, it had often been portrayed as one of success stories.¹ President Soeharto's military-backed New Order was certainly authoritarian but it had underwritten political stability for almost three decades since the bloody upheaval surrounding the collapse of President Soekarno's Guided Democracy in 1965-66. Over the next three decades, that political stability had provided the foundation for average annual economic growth of 7 per cent that had raised per capita income to over US$1,000 and transformed Indonesia by the mid-1990s into a "near-NIC" on the brink of achieving Newly Industrializing Country (NIC) status.
