Description: The product of a ten-year scholarly collaboration by four senior international scholars, this is the first chronological account for 50 years of Indonesia's modern economic history. At the beginning of a new century and amidst the turmoil of a new democracy more than ever we need a historical perspective on modern Indonesia. This book connects Soeharto's New Order (1966-98) back to the colonial era and helps to explain why the transition from colonialism to Independence and from the New Order to Democracy has been difficult and sometimes traumatic.
