"The New Order in Indonesia"

The "New Order" in Indonesia refers to the political regime led by General Suharto from 1966 to 1998. Following a period of political instability and violence, Suharto took power after a coup, promoting economic development, stability, and nationalism. His government emphasized strong central control, often at the expense of democracy and human rights. While it achieved significant economic growth, it was also marked by corruption, repression, and limited political freedoms. The New Order ended with widespread protests and Suharto's resignation, leading to a transition toward a more democratic system in Indonesia.
