Study Group on Preparing for Post-New Order Indonesia
Director: Jonathan S. Paris, St. Antony's College, Oxford
Chair: John J. Bresnan
February 1, 1998 - April 1, 1998
This study group addressed the forces and constituencies likely to emerge in Indonesia in the post-Suharto era. Can the United States work with the International Monetary Fund and international community to help Indonesia recover economically while simultaneously urging Indonesia to reform its political system? Organized into four sessions on challenges facing Indonesia--including the economic crisis, religion and ethnicity, politics and civil society, and the role of the military--the study group assessed dynamics within Indonesia to develop a forward-looking framework for U.S. policy on Indonesia. A book, The Politics of Post-Suharto Indonesia, was released in April 1999.
