After Suharto

Article Abstract:

The Indonesian military was a major force in the events that forced Suharto to resign. Suharto finally gave in when he lost all political support. The new government headed by Suharto crony B.J. Habibie may be as unstable and ineffective at solving economic problems as the old one. Economic reforms will be the real test of Habibie's government.
