Golkar of Indonesia: An Alternative to the Party System

By David Reeve

The Suharto regime of Indonesia put forward the concept of "functional groups" (golkar) as an alternative to the Western-style political party. Set against the tumultuous background of Indonesian politics since independence, this volume tells the fascinating story of how the golkar concept evolved and eventually formed the basis of the representative system of government in Indonesia.
