Notes

1. Clifford Geertz, Old Societies and New States (New York: The Free Press of Glencoe, 1963); Benedict Anderson, “Old State anci New Society: Indonesia’s New Order in Comparative Historical Perspective,” XLII Journal of Asian Studies 3 (May 1983).

2. See Donald Snodgrass, Inequality and Economic Development in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur: Oxford University Press, 1980).

3. See Bruce Glassburner, ed., The Economy of Indonesia (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1971) and Gustav F. Papanek, The Indonesian Economy (New York: Praeger, 1980).

4. Snodgrass, The Economy of Indonesia, and David O. Dapice, “An Overview of the Indonesian Economy,” in Papanek, The Indonesian Economy.

5. See my “Judicial Authority and the Struggle for an Indonesian Rechtsstaat,” 13 Law and Society Review 1 (Fall 1978).

6. J.A.C. Mackie, “Property and Power in New Order Indonesia,” mimeo, 1983. A published version of the paper is available in Indonesian translation as “Harta dan Kuasa dalam Masa Orde Baru,” XIII Prisma 2 (Feb. 1984).

7. See my “Intermediate Classes and Change in Indonesia,” in Indonesia’s Middle Classes and Change (Melbourne: Monash University Southeast Asian Studies, forthcoming) and “Middle Class Professionals and Ideology in Malaysia,” unpublished paper, 1985.

8. See David Collier, ed., The New Authoritarianism in Latin America (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1979).

9. For only one example, see the defense statement of Heri Akhmadi, then a student leader, in his trial on grounds of having insulted the President, Mendobrak Belenggu Penindasan Rakya Indonesia, published in translation as Breaking the Chains of Oppression of the Indonesian People: Defense Statement at His Trial on Charges of Insulting the Head of State (Ithaca: CMIP, 1981). Heri’s defense, like several other defense statements made by student leaders and others, before the trials of 1978–1979 and since, provides a full critique of the politics and economics of New Order Indonesia.

10. See, for example, Barrington Moore, Jr., The Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy (Boston: Beacon, 1966); Michael E. Tigar and Madeleine R. Levy, Law and the Rise of Capitalism (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1977); Franz Neumann, “The Change in the Function of Law in Modern Society,” in Neumann, The Democratic and the Authoritarian State (New York: Free Press, 1957).

11. See Lev “Judicial Authority …” cited in note 5 supra.

12. Not all private lawyers supported legal aid enthusiastically. At first some feared that it would somehow compete with them for clients. As the demand for the services of professional advocates grew during the 1970s, moreover, many private laywers turned inwards to professional concerns and paid legal aid efforts of any sort little attention, though in principle they tended to sympathize with its objective. As in Malaysia too, the more prosperous the legal profession became, the less likely its successful members were to engage directly in reform efforts. But enough did, as in Malaysia also, to make a difference. On the evolution and influence of the LBH see my Legal Aid in Indonesia (Monash University Working Paper no. 44, 1987). See also the discussions by Nasution, T. Mulya Lubis, and H.J.C. Princen in Harry Scoble and Laurie Wiseberg, eds, Access to Justice (London: Zed Books, 1985).
