النظام السياسي في إندونيسيا : دراسة في عوامل التطور بين الماضي و الحاضر

الملخص EN

The political system in Indonesia, since gaining independence from the Dutch colonialism on the seventeenth of August 1945, has gone through long stages.

The Indonesian constitution stipulates that the country is built on a democratic basis.

In 1956 the first free elections were held in Indonesia, and President Sukarno announced the adoption of the directed democratic system.

Then, during the era of President Suharto, the state entered a phase called democracy based on the Five Pancasila principles, which is a false democracy because it served the interests of Suharto, who in his long reign political and economic corruption prevailed leading up to 1998 revolution by the Indonesian people, and the government of Suharto was toppled.

Since 1999 till this day, the democratic approach has been adopted, in which the mechanisms of the electoral system based on democracy have been followed.
