 Inside Indonesia 59 - The Russian road
In New Order Indonesia it was the military.
It remains to be seen whether the new political parties in Indonesia will base their policies on collective interests, succeed in institutionalising themselves and develop a popular base, or if they will become personalised election vehicles like the new Russian political parties.

The officer corps in particular was Javanized, partly as a result of Java's central role in the development of modern Indonesia (Indonesia's five leading institutions of higher education were located on Java, for example), but also because ABRI seemed to regard the great predominance of Javanese in the officer ranks as a matter of policy.
Although organized Islamic political parties in the New Order were prohibited from advancing an explicitly Islamic message, traditional systems of communication within the community of believers, including instruction in Islamic schools and mosque sermons, passed judgments on politics and politicians.

 Indonesia & East Timor: Introduction (1997)
Systematic violations have also occurred in parts of Indonesia generally portrayed as stable and harmonious, such as the islands of Java, Sumatra, Bali, Sulawesi and Kalimantan, the regions of Nusa Tenggara and Maluku, and even the capital city, Jakarta.
Virtually all political trials in Indonesia and East Timor have been show trials, intended partly to substantiate the claim that the New Order is a state based on the "rule of law", and partly as a warning to potential dissidents.
There is a simple reason for this silence: from its inception, Indonesia's New Order government has been an important friend and ally to the West, and has been spared criticism by its Asian neighbours and member states of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).

 Inside Indonesia - Witness denied
While recent public opinion polls show a widespread negative image of New Order Indonesia in Australia, this is largely derived from perceptions of the Indonesian invasion of East Timor.
'Indonesia' is a different world from 'here' (Australia), one characterised by immaturity ('It's children's hour in Jakarta'), and by unknowable and irrational causation ('Moslem extremists'), with connotations of racially informed separateness (Indonesians kill with 'kris and club').
Coverage of Indonesia in The Age was even greater than in its popular rival, and coverage of the killings was more extensive.

 NGOs, the Environment and Political Pluralism in New Order Indonesia
Yet Indonesia's recent environmental and financial crises have made NGO criticism of governmental policies all the more powerful, if still not officially "acceptable." Moreover, growing domestic and international recognition of their political leverage indicates that future political change in Indonesia will undoubtedly directly involve the country's NGO community.
Yet greater attention must be paid to the NGO sector if Indonesia is truly to find its way towards something resembling "sustainable development." Indeed, the most powerful players in the New Order government continue to be closely tied to the activities that harm the environment the most.
Yet while the core New Order actors continue to deeply distrust environmental NGOs, there is also increasing evidence that in the wake of last summer's fires, many in Jakarta have come to acknowledge that the role played by NGOs in national politics could ultimately be a healthy one.

 Mujiburrahman: Feeling Threatened: Muslim-Christian Relations in Indonesia's New Order
Muslim-Christian relations have been an important element of the social and political dynamics of Indonesia during the New Order period (1966-1998), and an ever sensitive object of Government policy.
This political choice was apparently natural for the Christians because, like the politically secular-oriented Muslims among the civilians, the army was known as the strongest proponent of the nationalist ideological outlook (as opposed the Islamic ideology).
One of the consequences of this alliance was that the Christians became less critical if not totally supportive to the New Order authoritarianism.
