- Development of Democracy in Indonesia
Democracy during the revolutionary government was very limited to the press which supported the independence revolution in the form of political magazines. Continuing to the period of parliamentary democracy at this time, democracy is the heyday of democracy in Indonesia because almost all elements can be found at this time. However, parliamentary democracy experienced several failures due to the dominance of political sects, which had consequences for conflict management, then a weak economic base, and also the equality of interests between President Soekarno and the Army, who were both unhappy with the ongoing political process. Then following Democracy in guided government, politics at this time was colored by a very strong benchmark between the three main political forces at that time, namely ABRI, Soekarno and the PKI. Then there was the New Order period, in the first 3 years of this period, power seemed to be distributed among the people's power. However, in the following 3 years, there was a setback due to the dominance of ABRI's role, bureaucracy and centralization of political decision making, restrictions on the functions and roles of political parties, government interference in political party and public matters, floating periods, monolithic state ideology, and incorporation of non-governmental institutions. Then finally Democracy during the Reformation period which adhered to Pancasila democracy, of course with different characteristics from the New Order and a little similar to the parliamentary system which began with the resignation of Mr. Suharto from the seat of President because of the rejection of the action of the students in 1998. This gave the result is that elections become much more democratic, the rotation of power is carried out from the central government to the village level, the pattern of political recruitment to fill political positions is carried out openly, and most of the rights can be guaranteed due to freedom of expression.
