The Indonesian elite and its authority.
The military expansion into the state.
Expertise and national planning.
Scientific administration and the question of efficiency.
Economic planning during the guided democracy.
The managers of social engineering.
Economic policymaking in the guided democracy (1962-1965).
In Authoritarian Modernization in Indonesia's Early Independence Period , Farabi Fakih offers a historical analysis of the foundational years leading to Indonesia's New Order state (1966-1998) during the early independence period. The study looks into the structural and ideological state formation during the so-called Liberal Democracy (1950-1957) and Sukarno's Guided Democracy (1957-1965). In particular, it analyses how the international technical aid network and the dominant managerialist ideology of the period legitimized a new managerial elite. The book discusses the development of managerial education in the civil and military sectors in Indonesia. The study gives a strongly backed argument that Sukarno's constitutional reform during the Guided Democracy period inadvertently provided a strong managerial blueprint for the New Order developmentalist state.
