Abstract:
Indonesia had gone through major upheavals in the late 1990s following the Asian
currency crisis. The departure of General Suharto, amid a deepening financial,
economic and social crisis marked a turning point. Suharto's protege and
vice-president, BJ Habibie, took over the presidency from Suharto until October
1999, when Abdurrahman Wahid, a moderate Islamic cleric, was elected to the
office. The controversial Wahid was impeached and replaced by his
vice-president, Megawati Sukarnoputri, in July 2001. While Megawati seemed to be
consolidating her power, and the prospects for the economy had improved
significantly since the ousting of Wahid, various concerns remained to be
addressed:

political instability, corruption and foreign
debt. Meanwhile, in view of the threats to secede by some
territories, and the Bali bombing, some observers were even
doubtful whether Indonesia, in its existing form, could survive.
The case illustrates the linkages between social, political and
economic policies in developing economies.
