Abstract

Indonesia: The Youngest Republic
Woodman, Dorothy | September 29, 1951 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the political, economic and social culture of Indonesia. The Indonesians have had less than two years of self-rule, and that is why their political life is so amorphous, their administration so patchy, and their part in world affairs still so small in comparison with their population, their resources, and the vast extent of their territory. Outside Djakarta, personal politics, indeed politics altogether, seem to matter much less in the lives of the people. Indonesian society is naturally democratic. Nowhere except in Hinduistic Bali do restrictions of caste divide people into unnatural categories.
