The Post-Revolutionary Transformation of the Indonesian Army
THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY TRANSFORMATION OF THE INDONESIAN ARMY Part II* Ruth McVey The rebellion of 1958 marked a turning point in the development of the Indonesian army, for it provided the central military leader ship with the means to establish its ascendancy over the officer corps. Had there been a compromise in the settlement of the insurrection, General Nasution might have continued for some time to inch his way toward control, in the manner in which we saw him progress during 1955-1956,* 1 and the relations between the army center and the power ful territorial commanders would have continued for some time to be roughtly equal. But the central military command moved with great success against the rebel forces, whose failure was apparent within six months of their revolt. This victory both eliminated Nasution’s principal rivals for army leadership and gave him great military prestige,with which he consolidated his personal position and re shaped the army's structure. Of even greater significance for the army’s ultimate role in Indonesia, the rebellion--or, to be more exact, the State of Emergency proclaimed in April 1957 in response to the regional crisis--allowed the military to expand its activities into the economic and political spheres. This expansion provided the army leadership with vital sources of finance and patronage, strengthening its position over the officer corps and enhancing the army's status in the society as a whole. The proliferation of the army's functions and of its members' contacts with civilian elements that resulted from this development increased the chances for extra-military alliances and civilian influence over individual officers, but in another and ultimately more important sense, it diminished army disunity. -

Introduction
1 Introduction Dennis Blair The second volume of Military Engagement relates the stories of how democratic civil-military relations developed in five world regions and fourteen individual countries. This introduction pro- vides some background on those who authored these stories and describes the patterns observed and the lessons that can be drawn from them. The Authors The regional summaries were written by a team of coauthors, almost all having both practical experience in armed forces or defense ministries of their countries and subsequent careers with security think tanks. They also contributed ideas and criticisms of the analysis and recommendations in the companion volume. Juan Emilio Cheyre, while chief of staff of the Chilean army, took the final steps to bring his service out of the Pinochet era. Matthew Rhodes is a professor at the Marshall Center in Germany, an insti- tution at the center of military-military relations among countries around the world. Istvan Gyarmati, who participated in the early brainstorming sessions for the handbook, was deputy defense minister of Hungary during the Hungarian armed forces’ transi- tion from its Warsaw Pact organization to meet NATO standards. Muthiah Alagappa, a general in the Malaysian Army, has become the foremost scholar of Asian civil-military relations subsequent to 1 01-2478-0 ch1.indd 1 5/16/13 6:03 PM 2 Dennis Blair his retirement. Tannous Mouawad served as Lebanon’s military attaché to the United States and the chief of Lebanon’s military intelligence service. Martin Rupiya was an officer in the Zimbabwean National Army and now heads a security affairs think tank in South Africa Each of the regional coauthors recruited additional authors to write the indi- vidual case studies; two of them wrote a case study as well. -

Jokowi and His Generals: Appeasement and Personal Relations
ISSUE: 2019 No. 23 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 8 April 2019 Jokowi and His Generals: Appeasement and Personal Relations Antonius Made Tony Supriatma* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jokowi will be the first civilian president to complete his full five-year term in the post-Soeharto era. A significant factor for this achievement has been his strategy to accommodate the military’s interests to keep them on his side. Five years into his presidency, Jokowi has shown little interest in reforming the military. As reelection time draws near, Jokowi is tightening his relationship with the military, by giving key appointments to commanders within his personal network. The recent TNI reshuffles saw the ascendancy of officers who have had personal relations with the president since early in his political career. Because of the reformasi law abolishing the military’s dual-function (dwifungsi) practice of placing military officers in civilian posts, the TNI has a surplus of many generals and colonels who are unable to hold substantive positions. The Jokowi administration has tried to address this problem by expanding military structures, and raising the level of ranks for various posts. These policies are basically efforts at appeasing the officer corps. His more recent proposal to put active military officers in 60 civilian posts has been criticized as an attempt to revive the military’s dwi-fingsi. * Antonius Made Tony Supriatma is Visiting Fellow in the Indonesian Studies Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 23 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION There is a simple fact in Indonesian politics which most people overlook. -
