At the time of this writing, over sixty previously dependent states have achieved sovereignty since 1 1945. Today, one must look closely to find the last vestiges of the great colonial empires. Yet, with independence the leaders of these new states are confronted with many pressing problems that heretofore had been handled by the bureaucratic institutions of the colonial power. These problems range from simply being able to provide basic services to larger considerations such as the development of a national foreign policy. Fundamental to these problems is a larger, more central issue, that of establishing a peaceful, orderly method of transferring political authority and its accompanying aura of legitimacy from one group in society to another. It is an issue of 1 William G. Andrews and Uri Ra'anan, The Politics of the coup d'etat (New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1970), p. 1. 1 - 2 crucial importance that the leadership must face if the new state is to survive its first pangs of political development. Indonesia: A Typical Developing Society For the purposes of this paper, a developing society may be viewed as a transitional stage in the evolution of a modern developed industrialized state. Whereas a traditional society is based on a sacred value system, manifested by an emphasis on custom and tradition, a subsistance peasant economy, and a restrictive political process and a modern society is one based on a predominately secular value orientation with its accompanying emphasis on modern (i.e., western) economic and political institutions, a transitional society is an environment in which the clash between sacred and secular has not yet been resolved. It is a society in which the pull of the past as well as that of the future is still strong. Thus, a developing society is an environment of inherent conflict. If the lure of modernity is strong enough, the developing society will eventually evolve into a modern one. This drilt toward modernity is by no means assured, however. It is entirely possible that the ties to the past (traditional society) will be strong enough to prevent any modernizing movement to develop. The challenge for the leadership in such societies is to find a way to create the best possible environment for their citizens while at the same time reconciling the conflict between the two competing value systems. .... 3 In many regards, Indonesia is a typical developing society. A state of 120 mi. ll ion inhabitants spread over 700, 000 square miles, Indonesia was first brought into contact with the West by the Portugese in 1511. The area came under Dutch hegemony in the early 1600's when they supplanted the Portugese as the leading European power in sea-girt Southeast Asia. The Dutch ruled Indonesia for more than three centuries. Her rule was abruptly terminated in 1942 when Japan seized control of the islands, driving the Dutch from the area. Japanese control of the islands was short-lived, ending with her defeat i.n World War II. Of major significance, however, was the fact that during the latter stages of the Japanese occupation the military governor summarily granted independence to Indonesia through a native nationalist movement headed by the future president of Indonesia, Sukarno. This action was to take on added significance later when the Dutch attempted to re-assert their influence in the area following World War II. To the Dutch, the grant of independence made by the Japanese was invalid because the Japanese had seized the area i.n violation of international law. The stage was therefore set for a crisis i.n political change that was not resolved until December 1949 when the Dutch, realizing the futility of their efforts, formally ceded sovereignty to the Indonesians. In August 1950, the unitary Republic of Indonesia, with a western-style parliamentary system was proclaimed. jiLi2 4 The hi.story of Indonesia i.n the 1950's and early 1960's i.s the story of the failure of western democratic tradi.ti.ons and the growing concentration of poli.ti.cal power i.n the hands of one man, President Sukarno. This pattern of growing authori.tari.ani.sm was only checked by the events of September 30 - October 1 , 1965. These events and the resulting cri.si.s i.n poli.ti.cal change form the bases of thi.s research. As Luci.en Pye has pointed out, i.n non-western soci.eti.es the poli.ti.cal sphere i.s o~-ti.mes not sharply di.fferenti.ated from the social 2 and cultural environment. That i.s to say, many of the actions and values of the political leadership i.n developing societies are shaped by the socio-cultural environment out of which the political culture evolved. Issues i.n the political sector may well be influenced by social confi.gu- rations permeating all aspects of life. Thus, the concept of poli.ti.cal change may be greatly affected by factors not manifestly related to the poli.ti.cal process, but profoundly controlling i.t just the same. Such i.s the case i.n Indonesia. Indonesian society i.s centered around the mystical values and rituals derived from the ancient Javanese culture. Certain cultural traits stand out i.n this respect -- the fear of shame (loss of public esteem), conformity ori.entati.on, and hi.erarchi.cal deference to i.ndi.viduals i.n posi.ti.ons of 2Lucien Pye, Southeast Asia's Poli.ti.cal Systems (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1967), vi.i.. pt 5 authority. Underlying all of Javanese society is the penchant for misdirection or the desire to confront any problem obliquely rather than in a direct manner.

    RESTRICTEDL/2377 GENERAL AGREEMENT ON 6 March 1965 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution CONTRACTING PARTIES Twenty-Second Session EUROPEAN FREE TRADE ASSOCIATION AND THE ASSOCIATION OF EFTA AND FINLAND Information Furnished by Member States European Free Trade Association 1. The EFTA countries have undertaken to provide, as the Association develops, additional information in accordance with Article XXIV:7(a) of the General Agreement. 2. In March 1964, at the twenty-first session of the CONTRACTING PARTIES the member States of EFTA submitted their third report on the progress made in implementing the Stockholm Convention. A brief outline of the development since the last session is given below. More detailed information is given in the Fourth Annual Report of the European Free Trade Association for the period 1 July 1963 to 30 June 1964, and the booklet entitled "EFTA Trade".¹ 3. As in previous years, the EFTA countries have worked together to contribute to a harmonious expansion of world trade and to the creation of a large and outward- looking European market. As regards the first, EFTA countries have actively participated in the Kennedy Round negotiations where their identity of purpose and harmony of outlook on the main issues have enabled them to reinforce the efforts to attain the full objectives of these trade negotiations. In the same spirit, the EFTA countries participated in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. As regards the second, the EFTA countries have found that the best way to further their common objectives for the present is to continue to strengthen the co-operation among themselves.

  • Wildlife in an Ethiopian Valley by Emil K
    342 Oryx Wildlife in an Ethiopian Valley By Emil K. Urban and Leslie H. Brown On several flights and safaris in the lower Omo River valley the authors and others recorded the numbers of larger mammals they saw. The results showed no regular general migration pattern, although certain species showed trends, notably eland, zebra, elephant and Lelwel's hartebeest which moved into the area after the rains and out again when the grass died. Dr Urban is working in the Department of Biology in the Haile Sellassie I University in Addis Ababa. Leslie Brown, well known Kenya naturalist, is a UNESCO wildlife consultant. HERE are large numbers of mammals in the plains and foothills on T either side of the lower Omo River, including game animals, some in large concentrations, that have been reduced or are extinct eleswhere in Ethiopia. These mammals, their seasonal movements and population den- sities have not been documented and are very little known, although it is suspected that their movements in the lower Omo plains are related to more widespread movements in the Sudan. This paper reports scattered observations of larger mammals in the area between January 1965 and June 1967. They are, needless to say, inadequate for a full picture of the migratory game movements. Between us we made five trips: January 1965, LHB and Ian Grimwood; March, EKU; September, EKU; December, EKU and John Blower; and March 1967, LHB. In addition John Blower, Senior Game Warden of the Imperial Ethiopian Government's Wild Life Conservation Depart- ment, visited the area in October 1965 and February 1966, and G.

When Subandrio went to China in 1965, Nasution suggested that if China really wanted to help Indonesia, she should cut off supplies to Hongkong. According to Nasution, BK was serious about Maphilindo but Aidit convinced him that he was a world leader, not just a regional leader. In 1960 BK became head of Peperti which made him very influential in the AD with authority over the regional commanders. In 1962 N was replaced by Yani. According to the original concept, N would become Menteri Hankam/Panglima ABRI. However Omar Dhani wrote a letter to BK (probably proposed by Subandrio or BK himself). Sukarno (chief of police) supported Omar Dhani secara besar). Only Martadinata defended to original plan while Yani was 'plin-plan'.

  • The Philippines: Prospects in Business and the Arts
    THE PHILIPPINES: PROSPECTS IN BUSINESS AND ARTS Sponsored by the Philippine Cultural Society (Singapore) In cooperation with Philippine Airlines. 26 TH October 2002, Hilton Hotel I am really happy to be here this afternoon with all my kababayans. I know you will be given a lot of talk about investment opportunities but I like to talk about some smaller investments that you might be interested namely Filipino artists. I can guarantee you that these investments will give you less risk, more enjoyment and the investment amount is very small. I am talking about investing in paintings specifically paintings by Filipino artists. I would like to show you some of the slides of our artists and as much as I would like to show many artists, I am afraid with the short notice and the time constraints, I am limited to what I have that is available. INTRODUCTION For me art is very personal and being brought up in the Philippines, living in the United States and Southeast Asian countries I have witnessed and interacted with many of our artists who are either visiting or working abroad. My views on the subject are probably very different from the rest of the panelists as I categorized the artists in a way that maybe different from academics and art critics. As you may have noticed, we have a great diversity when it comes to art as we have many different groups with many different influences. I am proud to say that we are rich when it comes to art and 1 that we, probably, have as many artists as we have islands in the Philippines.
