Regional and Central Government in Indonesian Politics: West Sumatra and South Sulawesi 1949-1979

---

Regional and Central Government relation has been one of the destabilizing elements in Indonesian politic. Ichlasul Amal writes, however, that it is the New Order Government which, by bringing effective state power to bear throughout Indonesia, made possible for the new form of regional identity to fit comfortably within a united Indonesia. Two elements of state authority that are effective, are the ability of the Central Government to handle mass politics, and its capacity to increase the authority of the bureaucracy, which is able to absorb and neutralize the emergence of the counter forces. The process of transforming regional leaders into part of the central leadership through development programs also makes a political bumper" in the face of any mass protest concerning legitimacy of the government."
