New Order regime

The New Order regime, led by General Suharto in Indonesia from 1966 to 1998, was a period marked by efforts to stabilize the nation after political chaos, including anti-communist purges. It focused on economic development, centralized authority, and maintaining political order, often through authoritarian rule. While achieving economic growth, it also faced criticism for suppressing political dissent, limiting freedoms, and corruption. The regime's policies aimed to modernize Indonesia, but its authoritarian nature and human rights issues have left a complex legacy.
